Thats what i wanted to know. This wife was brutally beaten. Did he hire somebody . We just dont know. Her husband had an alibi and Something Else, a lover. It was shocking.

And in march 2009, they did have one, a homicide, a bad one. It sent neighbors shopping for Burglar Alarms and fresh ammo. We wondered whats going on, whats happened. So many terrible things happened so quickly, so many taboos broken on any suburban street. We were confused. We were crying for the families. The whole neighborhood was shocked. It began here with two houses, two best friends on a street called hot springs drive in grovetown. Kay parsons had moved into the neighborhood in 2005. She was a devoted wife to her husband, david, who worked down at fort gordon, and an active Little League mom cheering on her 12 year old son, derek. Tamara lived just down the street. Kay was a sweetheart. You never saw her upset, never saw her mad, always smiling just a joy to be around. What kinds of things that she like to do . Mostly anything doing with her son and her husband. She was very supportive always being with him. Next door to kay lived becky sears. Becky had her hands full too. She and her husband tony had five kids, including two older sons from beckys first marriage. She is one of those people whose very outgoing, one of those hey, how you doing, type people. Tamara got to know both, but says kay and becky really hit it off. They were best friends. They were basically inseparable. They were together, 24 7, almost. The two neighbors became piece in a pot. They worked at the same physical Therapy Center called Healing Hands. They go on vacations with each other. This person was the boss what do they seem to be doing . They got along. You knew they were friends because they were always with each other. And then, we would also tell stories about their sons baseball, especially during the baseball seasons, because they were best friends, the suns. And kay becky even enjoyed Weight Watchers together. Who is up a pound, who is down a pound . Yes, every day. And one day in march 2009 begun like any other. Kay, Little League mom, gone up to take their to school. And becky, the mother of five, left her house a few minutes later to drop off her kids before her workday began. All very routine, until 8 30 a. M. , one contractor mitch cozart showed up to do some Maintenance Work on kays backdoor. You come to the corner, you lift the large gate, tell me what you see . When i walked back to the back door i immediately knew it has been broken into. Did you put your head inside the house and look around, call out a name . I just put my head just inside, just enough to holler up for her. And i got no response. He tried calling case phone, no answer there even. He came back out front and noticed a young man sitting on a rock across the street. His name was michael, the oldest of kays friend becky five kids. Michael overheard the contractor talking on the phone. What an opportunity. I said, did you Say Something about this house being broken into. And he is like, yeah. And i was like, mine has been too. So now, two broad daylight breakins across neighbors. Was the thief still lurking . I actually went out and got one just in case. You know, somebody can run out or whatever. He called 911. Yeah, the backdoor is broken and the next Door Neighbors door is broken. I called the owner but she is not here. I dont think if shes gone, i mean, i hollered into the door. And i didnt get no response. I dont want you to go in. The contractor followed instructions. And within minutes, Law Enforcement responded to the scene, ready to investigate two potential burglaries right next door to each other. Police taped off the area. Now, tamaras neighbors were calling her at work, including kays husband, david, he was traveling on business. He asked me have you spoken to kay . And i am like, no, not today, im at work. And he says, okay, im just trying to get to to the bay, i mean california. First responders at the scene alerted investigator jim edmonds with the Columbia County investigations office. It is really where to have two houses sidebyside hit at one time that same way. You are thinking where is this guy going to go next . Correct. Definitely thinking where he is at. But as edmonds turned his attention to the breakins at these two homes, he and his team discovered something ugly. She was in a pool of blood. This wasnt going to be a simple burglary. This was a violent attack, with a bloody trail between the homes of two best friends, and a female body lying in the garage. She was beaten so severely we didnt even recognize her. What had happened on hot springs a drive . And whose sanctuary was about to be violated next. Coming up a badly injured victim in one house. Was something worse waiting for Police Next Door .

March 25th, 2009, just after nine a. M. , sheriffs deputies have rushed to this wide residential street in grovetown, georgia, to investigate not one, but two burglaries, worried about her friends and neighbors, kays and becky, tamara headed home to what has become a crime scene. Did you see lots of vehicles and uniforms . A lot of police cars. The entire corner was all taped with crime tape. Now, you see two houses, and if i have to pass to get home, you wonder whats going on . And what the responders found inside these homes would put this neighborhood into fullon panic mode. Investigator jim edmonds entered the home of kay, the Little League mom, through that shattered glass door, the one that the contractor first noticed. Then, edmonds saw it. A trail of blood. Immediately, i started seeing spots of blood on the floor. I could see an empty coffee cup spilled on the floor for mcdonalds. A mcdonalds food bag on the floor and a purse. And i started seeing signs of blood on the sofa and The Living Room on the carpet. And then, you go to the foyer area, theres a lot of blood on the walls, door, floor. This is suggesting a moving struggle . Definitely. It looks like the homeowner came home and surprised the burglar in her house. And a struggle ensued where she was beaten. The bloody Path Let Edmonds further to the house, to a bloody handprint on the door out to the parsons garage. And you can tell there is more beating going on in the garage. There is Blood Spatter on the walls. So, she was arguably dead before she got to the garage. And thats where this apparent struggle had ended. That deputies found 41 year old kay parsons lying there on the floor. Have you ever seen a scene like that . Nothing that drastic, no. She was beaten so severely in her head. It was about. But, amazingly, kay was alive. Emts hurried her to the hospital, with her life hanging by a thread. She still had a heartbeat. She was in very bad shape . Very, very bad shape. Investigator edmonds made the call to alert kays husband. He was in los angeles for work. I was able to talk to him on the phone, let him know he should come back here as quick as possible. How did he take that news . Pretty devastated. I tried not to tell him on the phone. I try to tell him, you know, you need to come back. There is been an accident, you know . But he guessed it pretty much what was going on. Kays husband, dave, it booked a flight home, as investigators turned their attention to the house next door. That is where kays friend, becky, the mother with five kids lived. Could there be another victim there . The back door, it was also there, we found spots of blood in the back door. Inside, beckys place was ransacked, but as they looked around, there wasnt any new victims. The blood smears they have noted appeared to be from the crime scene next door. That means you have somebody that is brave enough or just cool enough to just beat this woman so severely, and then, go door next door and commit another crime. Becky had been at work that morning with her 19 year old son christopher. The two of them raced home to the scene and met up with her older son michael. They were both there. Your mother and christopher are there. Yes, they pulled up together at the same time with the county officer. We all walk around back to kays house, and my mom, she sounds very distraught. She is screaming kays name. She shows up in her house while you are all in the backyard . Right. They show up on the scene and they are wondering whats going on. And they are pretty, pretty shaken up. Everyone else in beckys family was accounted for. Her husband Tony A Long Haul Trucker was away on the road. Her three younger children or fine at school and take care. The investigators said beckys focus event turned to kay. Understandably, she was upset. She did not know what happened to her neighbor. She just knew her neighbor had left in ambulance. And in fact, edmonds says becky was less concerned about that burger in her own home, and more anxious to get to see her neighbor. Michelle emerson is a longtime friend of becky who also lived nearby. Her sister drove becky to the hospital. She got to the hospital, you know, she was demanding to get to see her friend. She goes bedside for kay . Yes, she wanted to get there. I said, what hospital they get to . News of the attack quickly spread to another close friend of kays, suzanne frazier. I heard of the attack, and i was shaking. And so i, called my boss. And i said, i gotta go. I gotta go. And i left. Broke some laws . Iran red lights. I flew. I just flew. Tamara rushed to the hospital too. Did you get to her bed site, be able to take a look at her . I did not. I just stayed in the waiting room. There was a whole lot of other people in the waiting room. But the prognosis was very bad, wasnt it . Machines keeping her alive at that point even. Yeah the friends all kept an edgy vigil for news about kays condition, waiting for her husband to get to her bedside. Lives all changed in an instant, a Home Invasion and burglary in broad daylight, eight woman fighting for her life. And now a perpetrator on the loose. What do you do when you have a guy on the loose, who could be ready to burst into another house in this area . Exactly. We dont know if we had a mad man on the loose here. Setting up security on these streets . On every one of these streets, every one of these houses, we are stopping everything that comes in and out of this neighborhood. Asking everybody. In your neighborhood, somebody out there who was apparently a very violent person. You need to be terribly scared, no . I was. And i am thinking that there is someone who is Walking Around the neighborhood, watching, and seeing what people are doing, when they are leaving, and basically attacking. On hot springs at, right now is to gaiters knew for sure that they had a serious crime on their hands. But as they learn more from that bloody scene, shockwaves only kept rolling. Coming up they said, oh, god, no, no, kay. A husband returns home to tragedy and questions in the hospital, you meet him in person, you see him . Right. His wife is on life support, you know .

Friends and family gathered at the hospital, keeping a vigil for kay parsons, suburban mom who had been brutally beaten that morning in a Home Invasion. And while her next Door Neighbor, beckys home had been burglarized too, becky didnt seem to care as much about that. Good friend tamara says that for becky, it was all about getting to see kay. She continues to ask, well, can we go in and see her . Can we go in and see her . They tell us no. Eventually, one of the kays closest friends, susan frazier, did get back to her bedside. Did you recognize her . Did you know it was her . Not really, not really. She was all puffed up . Her face was very full, head wrapped, so i asked the nurse, will she make it . And she didnt answer me. Kay was just clinging to life. Some wrenching decisions had to be made. And doctors were waiting from guidance from her husband david, who arrived back from a Business Trip in california. What did he do when he saw her . He seemed very distraught. He seemed very upset. You could hear him screaming, with the double doors. And he said, oh, god, no, no, kay. Investigator edmonds saw david too. And a Law Enforcement tends to see things a bit differently especially with husbands. And the hospital, you meet him in person, you see him . Right. His wife is on life support. He is pretty distraught. I just got a weird feeling that something wasnt right. I couldnt tell if it was overboard, or i just couldnt put my finger on it. But there was something that was bothering me. So, even though the husband had an alibi, that out of state Business Trip is on your radar, and you both know that . Yes. Im watching pretty closely. By that point, edmonds was trying to determine exactly what happened on hot springs drive. He had his team take pictures of kay, collecting any physical evidence from that confrontation in the house. And they came up with something a bit of human hair found under kays fingernails. It just might be from her attacker. She had Defense Wounds to her arms, to her hands. She was, there was bruises everywhere all over her body. All indicating Something Else, kay had fought back. And whoever assaulted her had been on the
