EXCLUSIVE: Karen Fraser had no idea what was going on when police arrived at her home and said she had five minutes to leave. Half of me was backing away and staring in horror, she told Fox News. The other half was trying to think clearly. They didn’t have a search warrant and I was fully aware of it. I really didn’t have to pay any attention to them if I didn’t want to. But when the officer said a serious crime had been committed and Bruce McArthur had been arrested, I then knew it was serious, she continued. The officer was clearly upset so something big was happening. That was the first of many decisions, to have faith in the system. So we cooperated and left.
