Caution couldn't save woman
East Side victim strangled despite dead bolts, safety alarm, son's visits
Over her casket, mourners will talk about how they all tried to help Dolores C. Carr.
They'll talk about how her son tried, how her councilman tried, how the cops tried. They'll talk about how they'd outfitted her home with deadbolts and an alarm system, how her property had been cleared of tall shrubs that might hide the wicked-minded.
Everybody tried so hard.
But in the end, Carr, 78, died in violence and terror in the middle of the night, and nobody was there to save her.
Police say she died early this week at the hands of a four-time felon who had broken into her home several times over the course of the summer. Early Friday morning, police arrested Donald Washington, 42, and charged him with second-degree murder.
