The day before Vanessa Marcotte went jogging near her mother's home in Princeton, Massachusetts, she had dinner with her father. It would be the last time he saw her. "I went to eat with her at the Chop House Saturday night. After that, the next day, she was dead," John Marcotte told The Boston Globe Tuesday outside his home, with tears in his eyes.
