It happened Tuesday morning as the woman entered the home she lived in alone. That's when her attacker ambushed her, putting a pillowcase over her head before beating and kicking his 89-year-old victim.
Detectives say he then tied her up with electrical cords and packing tape before shoving her down her basement stairs. The intruder then ransacked the home.
"It shocks us. It shocks me. You are talking, basically, about a 90-year-old woman who didn't deserve something like this. And I don't know what would trigger someone to do something like this to someone. I really couldn't answer that," Trafton said. -
