A single mother of five children in Rock Hill never expected reuniting with her ex-boyfriend she dated for a year 12 years ago. Drugs and robbing a flower shop got him a stint in jail and made her move on.
But he wasn’t quite done with that relationship. She found him living in her attic a year after he helped her with installing doors and windows when her house caught fire.
She was feeling that something was not right with her house as things were constantly becoming misplaced. Finally, she heard a sound upstairs and decided to call for help to go look in the attic.
There, they found a single man sleeping inside the heating unit. She also found out that he was keeping an eye on her through the vent.
After discovering him, he walked away without giving an explanation before the police arrived. He still remains at large. (Source)
