they say shows a younger severance stalking murder victim nancy dunning. bureau chief, julie carey joins us look with this chilling video. >> reporter: you might remember we saw two photos made from that video way back in 2004 right after nancy dunning was killed. alexandria police said at the time the man was a person of interest and he was never identified and fast forward to 2014 when charles severance is arrested and charged with three murders. that video took on brand new significance, and now prosecutors say it could be key as they tried to proof that severance killed dunning and two other alexandria residents. nancy dunning had planned her day shopping for gifts to donate and meeting hear husband sheriff jim dunning and son for lunch after, but she never arrived. this security video from the potomac yard target shows dunning making a stop around 10:15 a.m. december 5, 2003 and not far behind her a man in
