Couple's new Dream Home turns nightmarish after their harassed by a mysterious stranger
For most people buying a home is high on the list of lifetime goals and since the process of saving for and choosing a house
Can be difficult it ultimately makes it all the more special when you finally decide where you'll settle down with your family
For one couple finding their perfect home was a bit tedious, but with the help of their realtor
They were eventually able to outlast the bidding war and move into the right one
It wasn't long after however that their dream turned into a nightmare
Buying the first home is a major achievement for anyone this was something that Jerry Rice and Janice Reuter of San Diego
California certainly understood the parents of one child with another on the way, they had to find the perfect house pronto
Eventually they found a small home in Carmel Valley
Thanks to the help of their agent Rene, Milton
The house was quaint in in a peaceful neighborhood as their move-in date approached. They could barely wait to unpack their boxes and get settled
Once they moved in Jerry and Janice's lives seemed perfect
And they truly loved their new neighborhood a month later though a note offering to buy their home for
$100,000 suddenly appeared on their doorstep. They soon realized that their new Dream Home was nothing if not a total nightmare
The following day the couple was stunned when they notice their home had been listed on the popular online real estate website Zillow
When they learned their realtor had nothing to do with the listing they were even more confounded
Jerry and Janice chose to ignore the anonymous letter
But that only made things worse
Soon the person began harassing the family
They were signed up for a number of random magazine subscriptions, and they even received bills for $1,000 worth of bladder control
When someone created an online invitation for a New Year's Eve party at their home Gerry realized they were being targeted
But who could possibly have any reason to harass such a nice couple like that
The pranking if you could call it that only worsened from there
One evening Gerry and Janice's neighbor Paul Abel suddenly appeared at their door upset
He said his wife Tanya had received a Valentine's Day card signed by Gerry
Gerry had never met Tanya before let alone sent her a romantic card
Tiny wasn't the only person who received a Valentine's Day card from Gerry one was sent to every wife in Carmel Valley
Gerry was forced to apologize to everyone and reassure them that he didn't do it
Play spoke to authorities. They suggested that someone was harassing the couple that's when Gerry and Jen has decided
They'd had enough they installed security cameras around their home, and they even put spikes on their fence
Janice also signed up for self-defense classes and planned an escape route in case of emergency
Gerry's fear that someone was watching them turned to torment
he lost sleep became distant and obsessed over his family safety all he could do was wonder what their harasser would do next and
It wasn't long before that happened
suddenly an ad appeared online featuring Janice's face address phone number and the headline Carmel Valley adult
Entertainment a portion of the ad read come see me during the day while my husband is at work
And we can get our freak on
Enraged Gerry contacted police men were already reaching out to Janice
One man received a response that read just stopped by any Monday through Friday 9 a.m.. To 3 p.m.. I like the element of surprise
Janice's imposter added I'm pretty much home all day every day bored and incredibly horny
I love to be surprised and have a man just show up at the door and forces way in
One of the would-be customers actually showed up at their home
But when he realized Janice wasn't there because Jerry answered the door the man ran away
the man
Then emailed Janice's imposter and said a guy was there had to make up an excuse why I was there after
Exhausting all options Jerry and Janice desperately dug for clues with the hopes that they don't cover the anonymous person's actual identity
That's when they remembered that note. They'd received from the person who wanted to purchase their home
They quickly located the woman on Facebook and Janice immediately recognized the woman. She'd actually visited the home of trick-or-treating on Halloween
The couple immediately alerted the county prosecutor. Who'd never seen this type of harassment before
police soon learned that Kathy Rowe a 53 year old county worker with an ill husband and disabled daughter
Had been one of the people who had been interested in the Carmel Valley home before being outbid by Jerry and Janice
Extremely upset Cathy apparently decided to get revenge
Kathy couldn't stand that someone else had won the home
She wanted to move into with her family when I walked in. I felt like it was my house
She revealed during an interview with dr. Phil
I was jealous destroyed and devastated with pain and depression a
Task force was eventually able to trace all evidence back to Kathy when she was arrested
she
Openly admitted to putting Jerry and Janice through mental anguish
With her series of pranks for which she faced up to nine years in federal prison
Yet after making an apology and a plea of felony stalking kathy was only sentenced to serve one year on house arrest
She'd have to wear an ankle monitor around the clock and she'd be on probation for five years
Kathy claims she never intended to harm the family and she blamed her actions on a lack of sleep after caring for her daughter
While her sentencing was incredibly lenient Jerry and Janice still live in fear the Kathy. They attack their family
What an awful introduction to the new neighborhood?
It's so depressing that the this couple was just beginning their lives who made it go through such mental distress
