Going Home After Work

It was sometime in late May of 2010 when Joanne had gotten off an extra shift and headed home where she lived with her parents. Her father, Pete, worked as self-employed courier while her mom, Valerie, was a home help worker, and Joanne usually walked to and from work.

Waking Up In Pain

Once she got home, Joanne was so tired that she decided to get a quick bite to eat, after which she fell asleep while watching television. But sometime in the middle of the night, she would feel a major pain in her lower back.
