Dorothy Dow, 83, was a mother and grandmother. They took her medical alert device and disabled her phone, broke her arms and fingers. Cut her face and head and burned her alive. She used a CPAP water reservoir to douse the flames but died in agony weeks later. The national media was silent.

Police believe the motive was robbery. They say Dorothy Dow owned a blueberry farm and would pay locals cash to pick the berries. Some of the attackers were former employees.
