The common law informed police that she was inside when Hyde stepped out to go to the store, and not long after he left, she heard a commotion outside. Fearing for her life, she called the police. But it wasn't until her daughter arrived home. A few minutes after she called that they discovered Hyde's body with multiple stab fatal wounds.
