Pat said that two police officers wanted them to look at a picture of three people to try to figure out who she was.
The Blairs reportedly told WFTV that the police wouldn’t tell them if the people in the photos were suspects in the murders or if the woman who tried to get into their home had anything to do with the murder.
Police said they should be able to give more information on Monday. They have been in touch with the victim’s son, but they won’t release names until he gets to town.
