Pregnant mom Samantha Desorcie says she was terrified Monday afternoon when she woke up from a nap. "From the view of my son's bedroom, I looked over and I could see a hand," Desorcie said.

Thirty-eight-year old Sasikala Narra and her 6-year-old son Anish were stabbed to death March 23rd inside their Maple Shade apartment .
