<<At the scene, McDavid learned that Randi Mebruer had been snatched from her home while her 3-year-old son, Michael, slept in his bed just a few feet down the hall.

Inside the house, police found the hallway streaked with blood. Someone had attacked Randi in her bedroom, then dragged her down the hall and into the kitchen.

On the floor of the hallway, detectives found Randi's contact lenses. They were side by side, just inches apart. "She was hit hard enough, face down, to knock her contacts out," Sergeant Ray Day recalls.>>

Poor woman... but I still have doubts... Was she a random victim? Or was he looking for an opportunity to attack her? Why didn't he attack her son? Apparently he only went after white women... but hitting her so hard that her contact lenses popped out... was truly brutal...
Whatever it is
Rest in peace, Randi
