PLYMOUTH, N.C. (WNCT) — On September 26, 1994, Sonja Spruill Day’s 11-year-old son came home to find his mother dead.

Day’s son and his two friends came from school to the apartment around 3:30 pm. The front door was locked and he did not have a house key so Day’s son climbed up to the second-floor balcony. Once he entered through the unlocked sliding glass doors, he found a gruesome scene.
