A 12 YEAR OLD
HOME ALONE.. AND HIDING FROM A
BURGLAR!
>> A 12-YEAR-OLD HOME ALONE
AND HIDING FROM A BURGLAR.
>> I CALLED 911 AND I WAS
THINKING, WHAT AM I GOING TO
DO, WHERE AM I GOING TO GO TO
GET AWAY FROM THE GUYS.
>> A TUKWILA BOY HID IN A
CLOSET AND CALLED FOR HELP
WHILE A CROOK RANSACKED HIS
HOME.
GOOD EVENING, I'M JOHN
DISEFALO.
HE TOLD HIS STORY TO JOEL
MERINO.
HE'S LIVE IN THE SATELLITE
CENTER WITH HOW A YOUNG BOY
STAYED SAFE DURING A BREAK-IN.
>> THAT BOY, RAY TAYLOR, WAS
TERRIFIED BUT DETERMINED TO
STAY CALM.
HE TRIED TO BUY TIME BY HIDING
IN A BACK CLOSET, BUT HE GOT
LUCKY WHEN THE INTRUDER OPENED
THE DOOR TO LOOK INSIDE.
THE KNOCK ON THE DOOR FELT
LIKE TROUBLE TO RAY TAYLOR.
HE LOOKED OUT AND SAW A MAN ON
THE PORCH BUT DIDN'T ANSWER.
WITHIN MINUTES --
>> THERE'S A BIG ***.
>> IT SOUNDED LIKE THE BACK
DOOR GETTING BUSTED DOWN.
>> SO I GET UP.
I GO THROUGH HERE.
>> THE 12-YEAR-OLD WAS HOPEFUL
ALONE AND GETTING WORRIED.
>> YEAH, I RAN THROUGH HERE.
>> HE CALLED HIS MOM, THEN
CALLED 911 AND LOOKED FOR A
SAFE PLACE TO KEEP OUT OF
SIGHT.
>> CAME RIGHT THROUGH, OPENED
THIS CLOSET DOOR, HID IN IT.
>> MEANTIME RAY'S MOM WAS IN
HER OWN FIT OF FEAR.
SHE CALLED A FAMILY FRIEND
NAMED PHIL TO DRIVE OVER TO
THE HOUSE.
>> I WASN'T GOING TO GET HERE
IN TIME.
THAT'S WHY I WANTED SOMEONE
ELSE JUST TO COME CHECK.
>> FROM BEHIND THE CLOSET DOOR
RAY COULD HEAR FAST STEPS AND
LOUD BANGS AROUND THE HOUSE.
HE KNEW THE CROOK WAS TAKING
WHAT HE WANTED AND SUDDENLY
THE INTRUDER OLD THE CLOSET.
>> AS SOON AS HE OPENED THE
DOOR, SOMEONE SHOWED UP IN MY
HOUSE THAT WAS CHECKING ON ME
AND IT PROBABLY SCARED THE
PEOPLE OFF.
>> THAT FAMILY FRIEND HAD
PERFECT TIMING.
SOMETHING TWO KIDS IN FEDERAL
WAY COULD HAVE USED.
THEY EXPERIENCED A NEARLY
IDENTICAL BREAK-IN CAPTURED IN
THIS 911 CALL.
>> WHERE ARE YOU AT?
>> ME AND MY LITTLE SISTER ARE
HIDING IN THE GARAGE.
>> POLICE ARRESTED ONE
SUSPECT.
THE OTHER FLED WITH A WOMAN IN
A WITHOUTING CAR.
INVESTIGATORS SAY THESE ARE
THE PEOPLE WHO GOT AWAY.
POLICE ARE LOOK INTO WHETHER
THE SAME MAN BROKE INTO RAY'S
HOME AND OFFICERS TOOK
DOORKNOBS AND OTHER ITEMS TO
CHECK FOR FINGERPRINTS.
>> I WAS HAPPY THAT THEY
DIDN'T FIND ME.
PHIL GOT HERE JUST IN THE NICK
OF TIME.
>> A BRAVE KID.
RAY'S FAMILY ADDED NEW
SECURITY MEASURES TO THE HOME
AND MADE NEW ARRANGEMENTS SO
HE'S NOT LEFT BY HIMSELF.
THEY HOPE THIS MAN IS CAUGHT
AND POLICE DO STILL HAVE A LOT
OF EVIDENCE TO PROCESS.
LIVE IN THE SATELLITE CENTER,
