brenda and brian, eager to warn others about the threat, called a neighborhood wheeling. but they say the police asked them to cancel it. the objective was to keep this man doing it, and they thought they had to catch him in the act. wait a minute. using the neighborhood as bait? exactly. the police were doing what they could without success. by november 2009, almost a year after the break in at the home, the intruder was still out there. more than a dozen break-ins had been reported. many involving store lynn underwire. shockingly high, with a snuggie, safe neighborhood. brenda and brian, now on the nervous alert. could not stop wandering. who. who? who could ve done this? a woman named and martin cook. and a friend named howard gray started asking that question.
the belleville police. my words were, don t fall in the police. there will be nothing good. my first reaction was to phone the police, because someone had been in the house. but then he said, think about it. so really it was embarrassment. no! it was just. we were just thinking the reality of what would happen if you found. they were also trying to decide if maybe they should be them [inaudible] maybe really was a joke. but if so? who could ve been behind it? i was thinking. somebody that knows me. it will come up in the morning, maybe a mailbox with a ha or something like that. there s a reason they recalled that in minor detail. a terrifying reason. but on this evening, they did not know that yet. as they prepare to return to howard s house for the birthday party he was throwing her. and it was simply an excess of caution when he told her. bring her pajamas. i said to her, obviously someone s been to the house. you re not staying alone
dollar bills. so, it made me laugh. because that was marie. that was marie. then, march and cook, and howard gray, live just a 45 minutes drive from the house. they heard about the murder on the news. they never connected it to and sprayed in. or the tweet attacks for that matter. no, absolutely not. it was, you know, she was military. but that was before they knew what they had no now. before another awful crime shook their community. only then, with all these crimes be connected. only then would the perpetrator be unmasked. in a story that would rock the nation. coming up! a 47 year old woman wouldn t believed back her blackberry, purse, wallet, kharkiv, how skis. a young woman disappears without a trace. it s just a mystery. an absolute mystery. when dateline continues! when dateline continues
Gray enjoyed teaching herself languages French, Spanish, Hebrew, Italian, German and even some Japanese. She had a photographic memory and was full of contradictions.
