The murder of Janet Abaroa happened in April 2005. It was a crime that terrorized a Durham neighborhood around Ferrand Drive north of I-85. The 25-year-old pregnant mother was found dead in a pool of blood in a second-floor bedroom. Her 6-month-old son, Kaiden, was in the next room. Janet's husband, Raven, claimed he arrived home from playing soccer in Morrisville to find his wife dead. Raven Abaroa said Janet was the victim of a home invasion and claimed his laptop and a knife were missing.
Police found no sign of forced entry, and other valuables in plain sight were untouched, casting doubt on the home-invasion theory. An autopsy revealed Janet was stabbed to death.Related Subjects
