A neighbor who did not want to go on camera said he heard someone screaming around 11:30 p.m. Thursday.
"I was going to go to sleep, and I see all these flashing lights, and I look in the window and there's a policeman," said neighbor Rosa Euger.
An officer knocked on Euger's door and asked if she had seen anyone running through her backyard, which she had not.
