Summary
A kind grandmother’s act of compassion turned into a nightmare when she sheltered a stranger who soon became a violent predator. Therese Garcia, believing Erik Navarro’s story of being robbed, fed and housed him for days—only to be brutally attacked with a baseball bat while asleep. The assault lasted hours, leaving her with life-altering injuries and no health insurance. Navarro fled with her belongings as neighbors called for help. Authorities are hunting him, and Garcia’s family is rallying support through a GoFundMe while warning others he may strike again.
