Indeed, the bathroom window has already been pried open, and the screen is bent, so I bend it a little more and squeeze myself through onto the toilet seat and then open the porch doors and let Boemio and her husband in. There's a Rolodex's worth of real-estate-agent business cards on the kitchen counter, but this home has been sacked and stripped: black mold creeps across the ceiling and walls near the pipes...
