terrifying investigation into a random attack of a woman in New Jersey her name is Donna oshako she was Home Alone after
00:00:07
midnight this was 10 years ago when she heard a noise by her door and she assumed it was her cat went to check on
00:00:13
it but instead it was a teenager who stabbed her multiple times Jim Axelrod now looks at the search for her
00:00:19
attempted murderer and here's an early look at his 48 Hours report it was the Fourth of July weekend in
00:00:27
2013. Shaco had just gone to bed when she heard a noise downstairs by the front door when she opened the door I saw
00:00:38
someone standing there in the Split Second after seeing this person on my porch I saw the knife a
00:00:48
young man pushed his way into her home and began to stab Donna repeatedly I felt like my legs were going to give out
00:00:55
so I braced myself against the corner of my bathroom right next to the front door
00:01:01
before leaving with her car keys in purse the assailant stabbed on a one last time in her chest
00:01:09
I lost in total close to three quarters of the blood in my body there's no earthly reason why I'm alive
00:01:17
none Monmouth County detective Andrea tazi she got upstairs and was able to call 9-1-1
00:01:25
[Music] he was probably about 17. White real skinny curly hair blonde dirty blonde hair it's a backpack a male
00:01:39
carrying a knife was spotted shortly after the attack on security cameras at a nearby shopping center we've done his
00:01:46
help a sketch of her assailant was soon plastered around town a tip would lead them to 16 year old
00:01:53
Brennan Doyle with a fresh haircut investigators learned he normally wore his hair long like this sketch
00:02:01
so that's a big red flag yes Doyle was arrested and faced multiple charges including attempted murder
00:02:09
his reason for the attack he blamed his actions on being under the influence of hallucinogenic mushrooms
00:02:18
Jim Alex joins us now what a story wow brutal okay so he says he was on magic mushrooms which is not saying I Didn't
00:02:25
Do It um did prosecutors believe that as a defense well it's interesting so he says
00:02:30
he's on hallucinogenics only he then gets in the car he stole drives five miles to a shopping center and has the
00:02:36
presence of mind to get rid of the weapons so if he is on mushrooms he's certainly thinking rationally for a guy
00:02:42
who's supposedly on hallucinogenics it would be bad enough to do this to someone you know but he had no tie to
00:02:48
her whatsoever nothing no connection no tie and Gail the craziest part of this whole thing well there's a lot of parts
00:02:55
yeah he's going to draw viewers interest but she lost you heard her say she lost
00:02:59
