About this listen

A mother walks into her daughter's bedroom. The floor is covered in blood. Her daughter's friend lies on the bed with his head nearly severed. The daughter stands over the body, holding a knife. The mother screams. The daughter smiles. The mother calls 911. The daughter asks if she can finish her homework.

The case of Sabrina Zuniga, an 18-year-old San Jose woman who decapitated her 19-year-old friend Andrew Hidalgo in September 2006, remains one of the most disturbing in California history . A motive has never been established. Zuniga was high on methamphetamine at the time, but the prosecution argued that substance abuse does not explain decapitation. Testimony revealed that Zuniga watched horror movies online before the attack . She lured Hidalgo to her home under false pretenses and attacked him from behind. When police arrived, Zuniga was calm. She offered no explanation. She showed no remorse. She was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. The mother who discovered the scene testified that she still has nightmares about the blood on the floor.

Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the mother who walked into that bedroom lost her daughter twice: once to prison, and once to the person she became.
