"He was in the service," said Kenneth Legasse. "I see him ride his motorcycle, and she jogs up the road."

Normand Dubreuil lives on Pine Knoll Road and was awakened by the sound of a girl knocking on his door.
"She was very, very panicked, she said 'Let me in, I don't want to die tonight," said Dubreuil.
He said it was around 2 a.m. when the girl knocked, then ran up the street waving a flashlight.
"It looked like she was walking backwards, looking to see if anyone was coming after her," he said.
He is still shaken up, remembering what she said.
"She said, 'My brother has a gun, and he's going to kill my other brother,’" Dubreuil recalled.
He called police — and later learned about the discovery of the two bodies in the house just a few doors down.
"It's one of those unsettling moments," he said.
