One of my lovely children gave me germs and I'm feeling pretty crummy. Didn't have a great night sleep. But was finally passed out.
And then the doorbell rings at 5:35am.
Dh checks his phone (we have a nest doorbell) and sees that there is a police officer at the door and tells him via the phone that we will be right down. I stumble down to open the door and through the window on my way down see multiple officers with guns drawn in different places on our driveway. I open the door with my hands visible to find 3 officers right in the alcove at our front door.
They let us know that there was an incident on the main road about a mile from us and the police dogs led them to the property and they wanted to look around. We had to get our 4 kids (8, 6, 3, 1) out of bed and were corralled to the other side of the driveway and watched over by an officer with a semiautomatic weapon.
They searched the house (and left dirt all over my carpets) and under the house and all over our 5 acres. Then let us go back inside.
We had left our phones inside so I checked mine when I got in and saw that at 3:30 I had gotten a text alert from the county that there was a crime scene on the main road above us and that the road was closed from our road going north.
Googled and apparently a body was found at 11pm last night a mile or so from us and they are treating it as a homicide.
The 3, 6, 8 year olds went back to sleep, the 1 year old not so much. So we are up and I can't wait till nap time, I will be enjoying a nap along with the two littles today (the older ones will be at camp)!

That was quite a wake up. Did they ever catch the suspect?

OMG, thats crazy. I assume they were looking for a person vs. weapons or something so hopefully they didn't tear the place up too bad (hard to hide a person inside a drawer or under the couch). Gotta say, I'm impressed your kids were able to go back to sleep; I'm not sure I'd have been able to to.

They are still searching. There are multiple sheriff's vehicles at the top of our driveway (I can see them from the house). We have been in communication with our neighbors, one said that they are stationed right at our driveway with weapons visible and they checked her car when she drove by. I'm here with 3 of the kids till 3 or so (unless they tell us to leave!).
Thankfully one of our favorite neighbors is a retired Army Ranger and is hanging out at home today to make sure everything is okay. I have him on speed dial and we are all sharing info as we get it over text.
I'm hoping that they find whoever soon, dh and I are supposed to get to go out on a date night tonight. But I'm not sure I feel comfortable with a babysitter here if they haven't found the person.

I saw that on the news! So they have their guns drawn and they think someone is still hiding near your house? I think I’d be heading up to Tahoe today lol

OMG! I would have had to change my depends! And I agree about not leaving the kids with a sitter. That scenario has all of the makings of a bad horror movie.

I think the guns were a precaution? Our Suburban was unlocked and next to the wall of our driveway (large retaining wall on the hillside) so we loaded the kids in there to hang out. We had one officer stay with us while the rest were searching. The kids were all a little uneasy this morning when we got them back up and asked a lot of questions, that we answered the best we could. The text alerts that keep coming through from the county say that they are investigating and that the road will remain closed indefinitely while they do their crime scene investigation. Craziness! |

Holy smokes! That would have scared me too. I would totally change the plans for tonight. I'm sure your kids were a little shook up. Let us know how it goes.

How completely unnerving! I probably wouldn't have slept again for days after that! How they have someone in custody and life has resumed to normal at your house.

Holy crap, that would scare the bejeezus out of a person to wake up to that! I hope they find the suspect soon and you can get back to normal life!

There was a second victim the night of the 18th. They believe they have the suspect in custody now. The road is back open. It looks/sounds like it was individuals from 30+ minutes away - so no local people involved. All very crazy!! Now dh promised he will no longer give me a hard time for making sure everything is locked up!

I should add that I went to the doctor yesterday and was diagnosed with pink eye in both eyes and strep. So I wasn't just being a wuss about feeling crummy!
