At around 10:55 a.m. on Saturday, a relative of the female victim called 911, the District Attorney’s Office (DA’s Office) reports. The call came from Rehoboth police.
After the relative reported hearing shouting while speaking on the phone with Barbara J. Cruz, 77, from Tiverton, Rhode Island, she contacted the police to request that they perform a well-being check on her.
The relative reported that the phone chat with Cruz ended abruptly, and when she tried to call him back, no one picked up the phone.
