The First Attack
In the River Oaks area, people trusted their neighbors and felt safe leaving their doors unlocked. However, that changed on January 23, 1981, when Susan Davis was attacked in her home. The 16-year-old cheerleader was home alone when she received a suspicious call asking if Ed, her father, was home.

She dismissed the call, but later that evening, when she was on the phone with her sister, Davis heard the front door open. A man with no shirt, no shoes, ripped jeans, and a nylon stocking covering his face was standing in her home. Davis screamed and tried to run.
