CUMBERLAND COUNTY, N.C. — A military spouse, whose husband is deployed in the War on Terrorism, was murdered by an intruder in her home early Thursday morning.

Cumberland County investigators said Angela Mosden, 40, was stabbed and possibly beaten with a baseball bat in her home on Blackbird Road.

Cumberland County investigators said Angela Mosden, 40, was stabbed and possibly beaten with a baseball bat in her home on Blackbird Road. The home is located in the Beaver Run subdivision off Cliffdale Road.

Deputies said someone broke into the back of the home around 4 a.m. They said the intruder, described as a white male in his 20s, went through a back gate, broke out a glass door and entered the home, setting off the family’s home security alarm.

Two of the woman’s daughters, ages 12 and 15, heard screams and saw their mother being stabbed. Deputies said the 12-year-old tried to pull the intruder off her mother.

When she was unable to do so, both girls escaped unharmed through a front window. They ran to a nearby home to call for help.

Deputies said someone broke into the back of the home around 4 a.m. The intruder, described as a white male in his 20s, went through a back gate, broke out a glass door and entered the home, setting off the family’s home security alarm.

Neighbors said that two weeks ago, Mosden saw someone suspicious around her home early in the morning. Since then, they said she was careful about her family’s security.

“She did indicate that someone cut her cable line, and I told her to contact the Sheriff’s Office and that’s what she did,” a neighbor said.

As a result, the family reactivated its home security system.

Investigators have interviewed Mosden’s children, including an 18-year-old daughter who recently moved out of the home. The two girls that lived at the home are currently in the care of a family support group at Fort Bragg.

The girls have spoken to their father, Special Forces Sergeant Major Richard Mosden, who was deployed in Afghanistan. Officials said he is now on his way home.
