**Megyn Kelly** (0:45)
Something wakes her. She looks at the clock on the bedside table, 1 37 She rolls over on her back and looks up at the ceiling listening. Half asleep, she tries to think. She knows the sound, but is she imagining it tonight? She listens hard. Has he come back to the house? What is he doing?
It is the middle of the night in a house in Tacoma, Washington in the winter of 2000 Her name is Mildred Muhammad and her marriage is over.
She has flushed both of her wedding rings down the toilet. Her soon-to-be ex-husband moved out a few months back, but he still has a key, and he keeps visiting in the middle of the night.
She is listening for the sound of the key turning in the front door lock. And then it does. The door opens. Mildred later describes the man in the doorway to investigation discovery.

**Mildred Muhammad** (1:41)
The man that I married became a complete stranger. He was full of rage.
I was terrified.

**Megyn Kelly** (1:52)
She sees him coming. The bathroom light is on for the kids. She sees his body cross the light, about to enter her bedroom doorway, and shuts her eyes. Then he is standing at the foot of her bed, watching her.
She thinks of a thing he said to her once, that when a man hits a woman, it means he has lost all respect for her, and that after that, it would be easy to kill her. Her spirit tells her to be still, pretend to be asleep. Her heart is pumping against the sheets, she knows he is doing this on purpose. He plans everything, but she does not know what his plan is for her, so she tries to just breathe normally. Her spirit says, be still.
She wants to squint and see his face, but she knows he will see the whites of her eyes. He comes around to the bedside and leans over her, listening to her breathe. He walks around her for two or three more minutes. She keeps hearing her spirit say, be still. She does not flinch or move a muscle until he is gone. He finally crosses her room and tiptoes out of the house, closing the front door behind him.
Her spirit guides her through, and she believes that is why she is still alive. She lies in the dark until morning, then picks up the phone.

**Mildred Muhammad** (3:11)
So the next day, I called the locksmith to get the locks changed.

**Megyn Kelly** (3:18)
So Mildred changes the locks. A new lock can keep a man out of the house, but it cannot change who he is. Two years later, almost 3,000 miles from Tacoma, the man who stood over her bed in the dark begins killing strangers in the suburbs of Washington, DC. People with nothing in common but the ground they are standing on. Ten of them will be dead in three weeks, each one dropped by a single shot no one sees or hears in time. And Mildred Muhammad, who fled across the country and hides in a Maryland suburb outside of Washington, DC., will become convinced that all of it, every random body, is chosen to bury the one murder that matters, hers.
Before John Allen Muhammad was half of the DC sniper team, he was a soldier for 17 years, a husband and a father of five. Tonight, we go back to the beginning. I'm Megyn Kelly, and this is MK Confidential.
A lot of skin care makes big promises but often underdelivers. But OneSkin is different. In fact, they never set out to become a skincare company at all. It was founded by four PhD Longevity Scientists, who spent over 10 years researching skin aging and testing more than 900 novel peptides before developing OS01. It's their proprietary peptide, designed to address a leading driver of visible skin aging. That research is the foundation of every OneSkin product, helping support smoother-looking skin, a more even tone and radiance and visibly fewer fine lines. And the results are backed by four peer-reviewed clinical studies and more than 10,000 five-star reviews. Born from over 10 years of longevity research, OneSkin is helping you unlock your healthiest skin now and as you age. For a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off using the code MEGYN at oneskin.co.
