Sonja Spruill Day, 33, was found dead in her Plymouth apartment at 110G Sawmill Circle on Monday, September 26, 1994, shortly after 3:30 p.m. Her 11-year-old son discovered the body when he returned from school with two friends. The apartment appeared locked from the inside or secured with a dead-bolt; the son did not have a key and entered via an unlocked second-floor sliding glass door onto the balcony.

Ms. Day’s body was found face-up in her bedroom with her throat cut and stab wounds to the neck and chest. Her hands were bound at the wrists and tied to each corner of the headboard with electrical wire cut from the bedroom lamps. One ankle was wrapped with a black bra but not tied to anything. She wore a shirt, shorts, and underpants; no forced entry was apparent. Blood was present in several rooms. Her boyfriend had been murdered in Washington County in December 1993; he had been beaten and stabbed.
