She Called The Police About A Dead Man In Her House, But Her Door Is What Really Caught Their Eye
By Dreamer
In Glendale, Arizona, the cops got a frantic phone call on Sunday morning by an elderly women in the local area. There was a dead man inside of her house and she was confused about what should be done about it. Once a group of cops show up at her doorstep, one officer sees something a little 'off' about her front door and acts quickly.

Geraldeine Tabor was mourning over her husband's death, who just died inside of her home, when she called authorities to remove the body. A group of cops led by Sgt. Jeff Turney showed up and tried to console her during this tragic time as they waited for the coroner to show up. While comforting her, Turney noticed that there was something wrong about her front door and didn't make him feel good. This was when he sent another cop down the street.
Turney reported to Fox 10 that front door's lock was broken and the knob wasn't appropriate for an outside door, the knob itself was more suitable for a bathroom door in the home. Just so happens that he had a Home Depot card in his pocket, so he took it out and gave it to another cop, telling him to head down the street to the store and get new hardware for the door.
Tabor, whose husband died of natural causes, was now a widow and would live alone in this home that Turney didn’t think would be safe with the existing front lock.

“It was a lock that’s normally used in the inside of the house for a bathroom and it wouldn’t latch, there was no latch to it and she was using a deadbolt to try and keep it locked at night,” Turner described to the news station. “I had a Home Depot card in my pocket, so I sent an officer to Home Depot on 43rd there and Camelback and told him to pick up a front door lock and he brought it back, and I pulled my tool bag out and we went to town and fixed it before we left.”
The grieving woman could not believe their kindness, taking it upon themselves to do something above the call of duty. “When the coroner finally came and got my husband, I walked over here and he was working on it, and I have never seen that before, that’s a new one,” she said with an appreciation for what they did for her. “They have enough, a big job taking care of us out there, they don’t need to you know, and I really do appreciate it.”
