It's a small seaside town, just about at the end of Cape Cod.

And in the wintertime, it's a really quiet place.

The people that live here a year round is, everyone pretty much knows one another.

I never wanted to live anywhere else.

It's just a beautiful place to hang out unless something really awful happens.

Police are trying to solve the first murder in a small Cape Cod town in more than 30 years.

The victim, a local writer named Krista Worthington,

was found inside this house in Truroro on Sunday.

Krista Worthington was found stabbed once

through the left chest, missing the heart,

piercing the lung, and the knife made an exit wound

in her back and went into the kitchen floor below her.

Worthington's two-year-old daughter was also at the house on Sunday and witnessed the attack, but she was not hurt.

The details that we heard about apparently Ava attempting to clean her mother's body and finding a child's broom with blood on it and things like that.

That was really, really hard to take.

The horror that came into this quiet house in the wintertime at the end of the world

and just blew up these little wonderful lives.

My name is Eric Williams. I'm a reporter with the Cape Cod Times, and I've covered this case from the beginning.

I'd say she had a very easy smile.

She had a wide-eyed wonderment about the world.

She was a mom.

She was a great mom.
