DARTMOUTH MURDERS
Teenagers Robert Tulloch and James Parker went to random homes planning to kill and rob the homeowners. They cut the phone lines at one home and knocked on the door asking to use the phone, but the homeowner had a gun in his hand and they backed out. At another, they posed as students doing a project but the homeowner was too busy to help. They checked out more homes before finding Half and Suzanne Zantop, two professors well known for helping students. In a quiet, safe neighborhood, they let the boys in and were stabbed to death in a vicious frenzy.

THE GOLDEN RULE

The endless varieties of flimflam scams of predators all have the same goal: getting into your home to rob or attack you. That’s why all your family members must always know and trust the person knocking before the door is opened. Better yet, they should never open it without your permission. See Home Security - Scam-In.

TOOLS for HOME DEFENSE

Always using peepholes is an easy habit to develop – and foolish to disregard. Keep a stepstool nearby for youngsters.

Question your visitor through your closed door (though some predators purposely mumble to entice you into opening the door to hear them better). A wireless doorbell intercom is better (see Home Intercom System). It lets you talk clearly with a visitor (or just listen) without opening your door.
