Yes, yes - and to Wendy and her helpful husband! To all of you who've helped and who've just been here - this makes me feel so helpless and alone - except not so alone, knowing you are all here. Poor Diane. Diane - when you get back to this board, please know how much your efforts are appreciated. She was very distressed when she left for home. Long drive, too. She said she'd check in when she got home safely.

Not sure yet. Oh, and if anyone asks--Matthew's a member of Patti's family. Cousin Matthew, I knew that. Like I said before, the Fire Dept usually do not care what the police think. The police apparently just don't want to be responsible for securing the house. That usually means someone (a from the Police Dept. not the Fire Dept.) has to sit there until the occupants return. But has that ever stopped a firefighter from knocking a door down when necessary? Not around here it hasn't.

He said that once EMS is dispatched to the scene, it is out of the Police Dept's hands. They run EMS out of the Fire Dept. so a Fire Truck will probably be dispatched with the EMS and they have nice big axes on their trucks and they are not afraid to use them. Once they have busted a door or window and secured the scene in a medical way, they will then turn it over to the cops. For now it is in the EMS's hands.

And apparently Matthew just had the following exchange with the EMTs:
"So you aren't in houston either?" "NO! IF I were I'd be ripping the bars off the fucking windows myself!"

But... will be we be able to find out what happened? Diane is on her way home so now we have to hope the EMS will give Matthew the info once they break into the house. Yes?

OMG - I've just finished driving everyone and I gather EMS is checking her house now?
I have been freaking out and telling everyone all night how worried I am.
So the status is we are waiting and Matthew is part of Patti's family? What a good idea!
