That's for sure, sadly. Even small towns are not immune to tragic crimes like these. And you can truly never really know what happens behind closed doors, you can really never truly know your neighbors, coworkers, close friends, etc. There are a lot of sick people in this world and most of them hide it very well. No matter where one lives or how "safe" they think their town/community/city is, people have to use common sense....always lock your doors, don't go walking around alone when it's dark (ever!), etc. Where I live recently there have been cases where people have been finding their large garage doors open at strange times and it's believed that thugs are driving around with garage door remotes to see which doors they can open (many garage doors have a default code setting and people should routinely change them)......so change your codes and if your garage is attached to your house, ALWAYS lock the door from garage into your house, always have proper deadbolts as exterior door locks, keep exterior well lit at night, do NOT answer your door to people you don't recognize or know (ever!), ensure you have a peephole on your front door. Never park, at night, in poorly lit parking lots where you'll be walking back to your car alone. So much of it is just really common sense and not having a false sense of security because one lives in a seemingly sleepy little "safe" community.
