District Attorney Kevin Hayden emphasized the significance of surveillance footage in this case, stating, "We live in an era of widespread commercial and domestic video surveillance, which when used judiciously can be a tremendous asset to investigators."
The victim, unable to articulate her suffering, was helped when a relative saw her distress and reviewed the video footage, leading to the investigation.
