I recently read "While the City Slept" by Eli Sanders. It's an account of the events leading up to the brutal rape and attack on two women in their home in Seattle and the aftermath about 6-7 years ago. One of the women (Teresa Butz) died in the attack. The author also writes about how the killer, a young mentally ill man who sneaked into an open window on a mild summer night, failed to receive help from his family or the mental health system that could have prevented the attack.
After reading the book, I did a "Teresa Butz" check of the windows and doors of my home every evening for about a month.
