Experts say murderers hard to stop in domestic violence cases
Domestic violence experts say Gloria Heising could not have prevented her murder by Ronald Downs Sr. Last week in Cedar Rapids. They note stalkers appear normal yet have obsessive tendencies and laws often fail to deter them. Therapists urge victims to seek escape and emphasize warning signs of isolation and jealousy.
