She Stepped Outside for One Last Hug. She Was Stabbed 32 Times.

On the night of January 24, 2012, 20-year-old Melissa Dohme stepped outside her home in Clearwater, Florida, believing she was about to have one final conversation with someone she had once loved.

She didn’t know that the next few minutes would change the rest of her life.

Melissa had gone outside to say goodbye to her ex-boyfriend. There was no reason to believe the moment would become anything more than a difficult but peaceful ending to a relationship.
