The Murder of Milton Sawyer: The Intruder She Knew

Milton Sawyer was a familiar face in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The 55 year old father of three owned The Treasure Hunter, an antique and collectible shop where he knew his customers and loved finding something worth keeping. At home, he and his wife, Angel Sawyer, were raising a blended family of seven children. In the early hours of August 2, 2018, Angel appeared at a neighbor’s door with a head injury and duct tape still attached to her wrist. She said a masked intruder had entered their home, demanded money, and attacked them both. Officers found Milton dead on the bathroom floor, and the ransacked bedroom seemed to support her account of a robbery. But details about the intruder’s access to the house raised questions, and investigators began hearing about a relationship Angel had kept hidden. In this episode, we follow the supposed home invasion, the inconsistencies detectives uncovered, and the unexpected call from Oregon that helped expose what happened to Milton.
