Extremely disturbing news--just as my realtor was leaving with signed papers yesterday, we heard an ambulance and then a firetruck, which zoomed down my street and stopped at my neighbor's. We soon heard she was dead. She had a beautiful Golden Retriever named Bodhi. Betsy knew her quite well because she was a Public Defender and Betsy was Exec Dir of Oregon Women Lawyers for a few years. We had heard rumblings about this almost immediately, but today the police presence just exploded, and the entire scene is now cordoned off as a crime scene and this article has just popped up on the online Oregonian:http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/11/portland_police_investigate_ho_1.html
