In November, I went searching for Rae Carruth.
The former Carolina Panthers wide receiver has been out of prison since Oct. 22. He was released after serving nearly 19 years in North Carolina prisons in connection with the murder of Cherica Adams, his pregnant girlfriend, and the permanent disabling of their son, Chancellor Lee Adams, in 1999.
Carruth was known to be living in Pennsylvania. State officials had confirmed that, although they were careful not to say where exactly he resided.
But I found out. And so I flew to Pennsylvania, rented a car and parked in Carruth’s driveway. I walked seven steps to his porch.
And then I rang his doorbell.
