4-Year-Old Was Left Alone With His Mother’s Body For 24 Hours (2026)

In the quiet seaside town of Port Hueneme, the summer of 1993 transformed from a coastal escape into a waking nightmare. Within just nine weeks, three women were taken in their own homes, leaving a small police force overwhelmed and a community paralyzed by the fear of a serial predator. Among the victims was Norma Rodriguez, a devoted mother whose life was taken in a manner so personal and so strange that it baffled investigators for nearly a decade. When her four-year-old son was found alone in the house, the only clue he could offer was a chilling observation about his mother’s face—which had been meticulously wrapped in silver duct tape by an intruder who stole nothing but her life.
