In 1990, soon after marrying, the Rapozas moved to Maui, where Raye had an office job at Maui Memorial Medical Center and Eddie worked for a fencing company. However it was a very abusive marriage. During a reconciliation time, they moved to Foster City, California in search of a better life. But Eddie became more and more abusive as time went on. They had a daughter, Tehani, and Raye was 8 months pregnant with their second daughter to be named Sienna, when Eddie plunged the family’s 2002 Dodge Caravan plunged over a 150-foot sea cliff.
