I wonder if the Straits, like a lot of old folks, lived in a neighborhood that went downhill (turned ghetto). My old boyfriend's grandparents were attacked in their home. His grandfather lost an eye and was never the same. Where they had lived and raised their children, and had once been a nice family neighborhood, was turning ghetto. Like a lot of old people, it was their home and they never thought of leaving it. With what moved in, the property values had probably plummeted, too, so moving would have been financially difficult. I really worry for the elderly trapped in neighborhoods gone bad.
Sad and sickening story.
