On January 7th, 2008, Denise was on her back porch cutting her sons hair, when an unknown man approaches her home. She would end up being kidnapped by the man later identified as Michael King. There was a series of 911 calls made over a span of 3 hours regarding her kidnapping. Had these calls been handled properly, Denise would likely still be alive today.
