"The nightmares the headaches not wanting to be in the house and 13 year old girls love their bedrooms my daughter wont go in her room," says McCall.
Investigators say the man who attacked her entered the house through a front porch window. The young girl was alone inside and knew something just wasn't right. "She heard strange noises she had never heard before so it just startled her so she had already prepared to open her window you know for an escape route because she said she heard footsteps," says McCall.
At knife-point the intruder forced her on the bed. In her struggle she kicked the man and got away. A second attack happened five days later on Nancy Road less than three miles from the first attack.
