DARTMOUTH MURDERS
Two teenage boys, Robert Tulloch and James Parker, went to five homes planning to kill and rob people. After cutting the phone lines at the first home, one teen hid nearby as the other knocked at the door and claimed his car had broken down. But the homeowner had come to the door with a gun and frightened them away. ... At the second home, they posed as students doing an environmental study but the man who answered the door said he was too busy to participate. They then surveyed a third home, but lost their nerve on the way up the driveway. They targeted a fourth home but the residents weren't home. ... Their fifth target was the secluded home of Half and Suzanne Zantop, two professors well known for generously helping students. In the middle of a sleepy New England day a few miles from the Dartmouth campus, 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, 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.
