I have been exchanging e-mails with Robert Siciliano (Safety Expert, that works with Real Estate Agents) - since the murder of Ann Nelson, here in Wisconsin, about 20 miles from where I live...
this is where I work... sweet little Wisconsin, where all we worry about is cheese, beer, and snow... and now this...
Robert sent me a warning e-mail.
I replied, telling him how much I appreciated it.
In his response, he told me someone complained...
this person did not want to hear this stuff...
this person doesn't want to talk about it...
The following is an excerpt of my response to him: (I hope you can get through it, I did a little editing)
"We mustn't stop talking about it! This part gets a little touchy...
(I don't want to sound like I'm blaming the victim, because I don't, I blame the murderer!)
The property she was showing him wasn't cheap - why didn't she pre-qualify him better before she agreed to the appointment? ... ask him if he had a job? .... ask him who his lender is? (why make an appointment if the prospect hasn't even intiated a mortgage pre-approval) what kind of story did he tell her? I do not know - I wish I knew...
why he was moving here- -he wasn't moving here - that could have put a stop to it, maybe? I do not know - I wish I knew...
once she got there - why didn't she just run out the door when things got weird?
did he grab her from behind - why didn't she reach down and grab his package? why didn't she stomp his foot, or drop to her knees pulling him off balance? if he grabbed her from the front - why didn't she grab his ears and bite his nose, or gouge his eyes or something?? I do not know - I wish I knew... maybe,
SHE WAS A LOVING, POLITE, DIGNIFIED WOMAN!
(Ladies don't do stuff like that, or even think about it)
SHE (WE) NEVER THOUGHT IT COULD HAPPEN HERE,
SHE (WE) NEVER BELIEVED ANYONE COULD REALLY BE SO EVIL, afterall, she was so Good,
SHE (WE) NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT SHE (WE) WOULD DO IN SUCH A SITUATION, THEREFORE, WHEN IT CAME, SHE WAS (WE ARE) TOTALLY UNPREPARED.
That is why we have to talk about it... the fact that it is so sad and so uncomfortable just reinforces the reason why this is so important.
Criminals rely on regular peoples' normalcy and decency - that is why they can take advantage... "
Thank you for managing to get through this miserable post... PLEASE BE CAREFUL! BE SAFE!
