S. Ben-Neth told us that at approx. 2300 hrs she heard noises outside her apt. She then heard the voice of her estranged husband Richard yelling for her to let him in.

When she didn’t let him in, she heard a window break in the bedroom of her apt. & she ran out the front door, got in her car & went to the 7-11 to report it.

S. Ben-Neth related that she is getting a divorce from Richard. (he filed on her)

Richard has been bothering her quite often. And Shelley related that he has even assaulted her but she did not report it because she is afraid of him.

Shelley related that she met Richard at McNiel Island where she lived with her first husband, a correctional officer & Richard was a con.

R/OS ran a records check on Ben-Neth & no record was found. We had Records check with Seattle P.D. & found out his Aka or possibly a true name with some larceny background.

S. Ben-Neth was taken to the YWCA & advised of the Domestic Violence Unit & protective orders.
