The offender returned five minutes later and opened the door of the apartment with a key she believes he retrieved from her mailbox that management left there when someone destroyed her door locks recently. The woman also told police the man leaves notes on her door and has waited for her to come home from work in the past. The woman said a week earlier the man was waiting for her in the parking lot behind the apartment. When she refused to talk to him he allegedly told her he would kill her and cursed at her. The day before, on Thanksgiving, the man also threatened to break the woman’s car window. The victim said she is afraid of the offender and believes he is going to hurt her.
