"Omg have a total weirdo in my bathroom a little scared," Sheri Carter texted to her boyfriend, Mark, on January 31. "Like think he's on..." she didn't finish the sentence.

Carter was working in her Boynton Beach home as an independent escort. The man in the bathroom, police say, was Jimmy Dac Ho, who was allegedly carrying an Interarms Rossi .38 special that he had bought from a woman in Lauderhill in 1995, when he used to worked as a police officer there. He was employed on the FAU Police Department.

"Dont let him sniff my deodorant..lol.." replied Mark.

"No really u have no clue...." These were the last words

that Carter ever wrote.

Carter's boyfriend, once he returned, provided his cell phone to officers on the scene, who took the above photographs.

Carter later died in a Delray hospital. Ho is in jail awaiting trial for first-degree murder.
