Amy Gellert had just returned from church and pulled into the driveway of her family’s home in Cocoa Beach, Florida, on March 20, 1994, when a nightmare unfolded with savage fury.
As Gellert stepped out of her car, her stepfather, Bob Lehton, sprinted from the front door of their house — drenched in blood. Running behind him was a man in a black ski mask clutching a dagger and a gun.
The attacker had already stabbed both Lehton and Gellert’s mother, Bunny, and was now headed straight for Gellert, 21, slashing her before fleeing.
By the time police arrived minutes later, Gellert had stumbled to the parking lot of a nearby apartment complex and died. Her parents, who spent weeks in the hospital, miraculously survived.
