God grief what a horrible ordeal this poor woman was forced to endure. This is a very serious and all too frequent crime and yes it is the same as breaking and entering and murder. I can't believe something couldn't have been done, if not state wise then federally. I am going to have some friends in Washington look this situation over and see whats what. This could happen to any of us the way the system is set up now and people like Dotsie and most of us are not aware of what to do....scary!!
