Loading ...HILLSBORO OR: Cross Dressed Meth Junky To Surprise GF Enters Wrong Apartment
HILLSBORO — The petite 24-year-old Beaverton woman got out of the shower wrapped in a towel, stopped to watch a couple of minutes of TV and then sat down on her bed.
While putting lotion on her legs, she realized a man was standing in her closet, staring at her with bright blue eyes. He was wearing a lacy negligee with fishnet stockings, a woman’s miniskirt, a sheer white blouse and a long brown wig.
For a second, time stood still. The woman stared back. The man hid his face in the crook of his arm.
Then she screamed twice, ran to another room and called police. The man fled without saying a word, hurrying from the ground-floor apartment in the 15200 block of Southwest Teal Boulevard to his nearby van.
She saw him again about a year later, this time in a Washington County courtroom. And he had an explanation for why he had been in her closet.
DNA connection
Prosecutor Gina Williamson Skinner was clear to jurors what the woman was thinking when she first saw the man in her closet.
“She had no idea what was going on, what was going to happen, how much risk she was at,” Skinner said. “But what she thought at that moment was that she was going to be raped.
“It is every woman’s greatest nightmare.”
For nine months, the woman worried that the man might return. Until police told her they’d found their suspect — they had matched DNA found on a meth pipe the man dropped in her closet to a convicted felon.
