BOSTON (WHDH) - A routine bus ride left MBTA bus driver Patty Hardy fearing for her life. “He came to my door and he said, ‘I’ll stab you. I will kill you,’” Hardy remembered. “I’m like, is this how I’m going to die today?” The memory of one of her passengers threatening her life is still one that Hardy vividly remembers. “I could not get my seat belt off fast enough because I didn’t want to sit there and be a sitting duck, just in case he did want to stab me,” Hardy said.

PLYMOUTH, MASS. (WHDH) - The excitement of moving back home was quickly replaced by shock for Meghan McIntyre. “It’s like a never-ending nightmare,” McIntyre said.

Instead, someone else is living in the house.
