Over 5 years ago I used to live about 3 blocks from Palo Verde Dr. It wasn't the greatest or safest neighborhood. It wasn't THE WORST, but there was certainly enough crime to make me uncomfortable. Our neighbors across the street had their car and home both broken into on separate occasions. A lot of the homes around that neighborhood look really nice and pretty but the areas surrounding that neighborhood are pretty rough. And just a few blocks away. And you know the riff raff wanders into the part of the neighborhood that looks the nicest to see if there is anything of value they want. Our house was decent. Our neighbors had gorgeous homes, but I was so glad when we moved and would never live there again, not because of our neighbors, but because of the crime.
So, I once lived about 3 blocks away from Palo Verde, but I don't ever remember being on that street. We probably never had reason to go that way or if we did, I plain don't remember.
Having said that, I find wilcox boulevard and wilcox tunnel area even worse than the neighborhood we/Dana lived in. Seems like there are more drugs/crime there. Please come home, Dana, safe and sound to your family.
ETA: I had been following this case and didn't even realize I lived in the same neighborhood as her until I looked her street up on google maps and saw where it was and saw my old street right there. I was like "Whoa." Also, I don't have a whole lot of knowledge or experience with the wilcox area. I just know it has always been one of those places people talk about and warn you not to go. I do hear on the local news, too, of course, about crimes and drugs happening there often as well.
