It is very painful to even write about the events that happened to Jaimie. It hurts my heart just to think of it. Here is a little bit of information.
Mont Vernon is a very small town in new Hampshire. On the night of October 4th, 2009, Jaimie Cates and her family went to bed. Four local teenagers armed with knives, broke into their home and brutally murdered Kim (Jaimie's mother) and seriously injured 11 year old Jaimie. They chose the home for no other reason than its location, and for no other purpose than to bring harm to the occupants. It was a senseless, random crime that shook the small town and much of the state.
