The cops were looking for her and questioned me about her whereabouts after we finally got rid of her. It's a bizarre story, really bizarre. My daughter (in her Air Force uniform) went over to try to collect some rent for me (also unsuccessfully), and she marched right into the place, and in the kitchen saw an emaciated old white man, just skin and bones, lying on a dirty cot. He looked like a skeleton or zombie. She asked who he was, and they told her it was an uncle and they were taking care of him.

What we later found out, was that he was the former landlord. They had kidnapped him and kept him drugged up, all the while collecting and cashing his Boeing retirement checks. His family was looking for him, and contacted the cops. I finally got the Haitians out, just about the same time the cops found the old guy's body, and traced his Boeing retirement checks to our place. (Another great reason for direct deposit!) I never heard if the cops caught up with the Haitian woman. I sure hope they did, she was one evil woman. The cops said she was deadly dangerous. She had a rap sheet a mile long.

The way I finally got her out was interesting. She had several big mean Dobermans tied up guarding each door, and my daughter and I went over when she wasn't home, and took canned dog food which we had laced with massive doses of sleeping pills. When the dogs were out cold, we bound and muzzled them (duct tape), went in the house (and intimidated all the very young kids she had left home alone). We looked for the old man my daughter had seen, but he was gone. (They had probably killed him by that time, but at that point, we still didn't know who he was or that the former landlord was missing.)

I had installed "landlord locks" on the place previously, and I took the cores out of the locks with my master key, so there was no way to lock the doors. (Landlord locks allow you to change locks on a place from the outside, so tenants can't figure out why their keys don't work. The master key pulls out the whole core of the lock, and you can either leave the core out, or insert a new one which uses a different key.) She came home to find her guard dogs sawing logs and immobilized, her kids terrified, and her house wide open. The next day, she was gone. That's when we found she had booby trapped the place with razor blades. (Had to use a metal detector to find them all. They were even buried in kitchen cabinets, so that cleaning out the cabinets, you'd slice your hand open.

She was my all-time worst tennant. Still makes me cringe when I hear of Haitians coming ashore into our country. (shudder)
