Journey Began With A Visit To Walmart
The journey began with a trip to the nearby Walmart. Accompanied by her three-year-old daughter, Hailey, Melissa intended to pick up a few essentials for their kitchen.
Normally, Melissa avoided taking Hailey out in public, preferring to leave her in the care of her husband, Tom, or a babysitter.
However, with Tom unavailable and unable to secure a sitter, Melissa found herself venturing into the store uncertain of what lay ahead.
