AZ Woman Crawls Through Doggy Door Smears Blood On Two Young Girls Home Alone

Kristen Anderson, the Phoenix woman who allegedly crawled through a doggy door into a residence where two young girls were home alone, is facing a slew of charges including burglary, kidnapping and aggravated assault of the 10- and 12-year-old who were home alone.

Anderson, 34, was arrested Tuesday in the Norterra area of Phoenix, AZ., which is north of 19th Avenue and Happy Valley Road.

According to court paperwork, Anderson grabbed one of the girls and threw her on the couch. The girl’s sister then stabbed Anderson in the chest.

Anderson “started rubbing her hand in her blood then rubbing it onto her face saying ah, blood [sic],” the arresting officer wrote in his probable cause statement. “The defendant rubbed her blood onto the face, legs, and hair of [one of the girls].”

It started with a 911 call from a resident. “Witnesses reported that a female adult suspect had been seen acting erratic, jumping fences and striking walls,” Sgt. Mercedes Fortune of the Phoenix Police Department explained. Minutes after the first call, a man called 911 to report that his 10- and 12-year-old daughters had called him about an intruder in their home. Police later identified that person as Anderson and said she had gotten into the house through a doggy door.

The children managed to get away and go to a neighbor for help. They were not physically hurt.

A judge set Anderson’s bond at $5,000 and ordered electronic monitoring should she be released.
