How contact lenses blew a 2005 murder case wide open and led to a husband serving prison time
One evening in April 2005, Raven Abaroa said he was out playing soccer when he returned to his family’s North Carolina home to discover a horrifying scene.
He told police he found his wife, 25-year-old Janet Abaroa, stabbed to death in an upstairs office. Nothing else in the house was disturbed, according to authorities, and the couple’s 6-month-old son, Kaiden, was left unharmed in another room.
“She’s been shot or something. There’s blood everywhere,” Raven Abaroa told a 911 dispatcher at the time.
Who killed Janet Abaroa was a mystery that captivated the Durham, North Carolina, suburbs, and the case remained unsolved for years.

GOOD MORNING AMERICA’S HOMEPAGE:

I believe he's guilty, I don't believe theres enough evidence to support that though. It's just character witnesses and the strange lack of evidence (computer being missing knives being missing) and that's pretty much it unfortunately. The guy is an obvious pos but there's also such a lack of evidence in this case. Which is why I believe the prosecutor accepted the plea deal. Still, it's very possible a jury could have just as easily hated this dude so much theyd convict him regardless. Which is why I believe the defence asked for the plea deal.
Is every neighborhood quiet?
Her brother seeing that side of him and not saying anything is terribly sad.
Wowwwww SMH 😥
I would be surprised if it wasn’t family!

Wow!!!!🤦🏻♀️ Kill his wife, children and all, it’s horrid that these people do this. Not even the love for their children makes them halt.
Dude, you need to make one video with the complete story!!!!
What an unbelievable waste of a gorgeous, amazing woman. I wish I could've been there right before this nutbag stabbed her so I could've punched his heart clear across the house.
The family and friends crying made me cry too. As compassionate as I am for other humans I normally don't cry at these cases. But this one made me cry for real because I can tell she was a great person and that she was deeply loved by family and friends. It's so sad they couldn't save her.
Does anyone know the name of the song that plays at the end of the clip ?
Why does it matter how old she is? How is that the first question the operator asks?
Why do women always end up having children with these guys and taking them back? It's embarrassing for the rest of us women who are strong. It only lets men think they can do what they can do
How'd he know shot? It could have been a stabbing
I guess if i became a 911 operator i would die of trauma and stress in just 1 year.. only brave and focused people are capable of this job.. emotions should be set aside
What with the insurance money? This such a sad story. Were was his family. He is a looser. Police watch him closely. He is prone to it again.
Is no one gonna talk about how Raven looks like pennywise @ 3:31
I knew it as false. No self respecting American would play soccer
You fucking liar.
Do not believe a man who tries too hard to show how good he is because he will change back right after marriage. I had a friend who was desperate to get married and she dated this guy who tried so hard to show he was a Mr Nice guy, always smiling and just made me feel fake. I warned my friend to think twice about marrying him but she went ahead anyway. After their marriage and the first baby, he became a totally different person or I should say his true nature. He didn't carry the baby once. He always wore just the underwear when I went there to see her with that creepy smile. He was abusive and a male chauvinist. I left the states and never heard from her again.
those devil horn signs he makes say so much !
Very marry a man who collects knives.
You see the evil in his eyes..
Who in the hell will name their son Raven🙄🤦🏽♀️🙄🤦🏽♀️
in the USA, a country with high national homicide rates , around 45% of female and 5% of male homicides were committed by an intimate partner.
Thank God i am never gonna marry American.
By claimed that she was "shot" it makes him seem innocent since he didn't "know" how she was killed. So fucking conniving.
Him saying she was shot when she was really stabbed helped him.
Jesus Christ why does it have to be so many videos? Just post the damn story.
Watching these kind of videos gives me anxiety about my two teenage daughters. I worry that they'll meet some asshole like this. I'm definitely going to let any guy that dates or marries my daughters know if they ever put their hands on them or hurts them in any way I'll be facing a jury of 12. And I gaurentee they'll never find their body. I'm also glad that I've had my daughters train in Brazilian Jujitsu and Muay Thai for the last 6 years. I feel sorry for any guy that tries to hurt em.
So the reason/motive you show this to the public is what?? To put fear on people mind or to push crazy people to do so…. That's why so many crime happen….
Don't ever let a man tell you he doesn't want you twice. It could cost you your life!!!!
From Utah? Hmmm imagine that. Huge Morman state 🙄
At 0:41, isn't it weird that he said my wife was shot? how does he know that?? If a normal person was to walk in on a scene where there was blood everywhere you wouldn't necessarily say shot they could have been stabbed or bludgeoned, but he knew she was shot.
I live here in Durham. I remember this story. Smh.
Ok but what was that pathetic song at the end 😂😂😂🤦🏽♀️
Do people not know what divorce is anymore??
Pretty sure Janet was gay but didn’t know it yet.
RAVEN
Large black bird, often seen as a dark omen.
MORmONism is a cult!!!!
Where’s the baby tho
We are watching Hollywood acting.. they sound all same…crying little hysterical yet making sure its that him who killed her.
The family should be ashamed of themselves for letting her go back to this P.O.S and now all mad cause that S.O.B left the state.
Fake tears. The psychopath killed her.
Those eyebrows just desapear lmao her sister are prettier that Jane
life insurance needs to be re evaluated and fast STOP this outrageous behaviour when they pay up after a murder it should be at least a year after the investigation – the current system is plain ridiculous! !!!
So fucked up that guns are acceptable
NEIGHBORS ALWAYS MAKE IT ABOUT THEM🙄
