Summary: On March 14, 2007, Shamaia was in the midst of her regular adulting routine: wake up, go to work, get off of work, rinse and repeat. Unfortunately, a customer of hers permanently disrupted this routine. The police close in within two months of Shamaia's murder/disappearance.. but what's something else that sends shockwaves? The fact that the culprit lived a seemingly uneventful/normal life as a wealthy white "family" man.
