On January 8, 1975, Edwina Romaine laid face down on her living room floor.

Her hands and feet were bound behind her, and a coat was draped over her head.

Her 21-year-old daughter, Redda, was next to her, restrained in the same way.

Her daughter's friend Maria was on the ground, too.

Legs and feet tied up with a blue wool jacket covering her face.

Edwina listened as a strange man and a teenage boy dragged Redda's boyfriend Jeffrey down

to the basement.

Meanwhile, her hands worked slowly and deliberately to untie the cords around her wrists.

And it's later, Edwina heard footsteps coming back up the stairs and she stopped moving.

Careful not to arouse their suspicion.

The intruders paced around the room.

She held her breath as they stood next to her.

She could tell from their anxious whispers and indecisive steps that they were trying

to decide what to do next.

Little did she know, the man knew exactly what he was going to do.

Joseph Callinger was just trying to decide which woman he wanted to kill first.
