About this listen
In this harrowing episode, retired Detective Sergeant First Class Harry Gavel of the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office recounts the most haunting case of his 11-year career in homicide. "Before The Ball Dropped" tells the true story of a home invasion that turned into a brutal double homicide and hostage crisis, leaving a three-year-old girl orphaned and a city shaken to its core.
As the clock ticked toward midnight, a cold-blooded killer burst into a family's home, executing a respected physician and his wife before taking their daughter hostage. This isn't just a story about crime—it's about heartbreak, heroism, and a community that responded with swift justice. Listeners are taken inside the intense police standoff that followed, the sniper’s split-second decision, and the lifelong impact left on a child who witnessed unimaginable horror.
