Couple Called 911 After ‘Disoriented’ Woman Knocked on Their Door. She Froze to Death While Waiting for Help to Arrive: Lawsuit

Reread my post dingus. Women do know how to act. How to lure. Do you know how many times females have persuaded help from someone - only to have her partner come out of nowhere and murder the helper? It happens more than you might think.
People use to hitchhike all over this country back in the day. Not anymore. Want to take a guess why?
There is no way in hell I would just automatically help a person if they appear in need. Unless - I deem it safe for my family and myself to do so.
In the case above - I would most likely help.

You are a scared little man.

I'm a smart man with God-given common sense. Can I make the assumption that you voted for camela?

But you would not just ignore her right? It wouldnt take to long to tell if she was truely stranded or if it was a ploy. For those people just to ignore someone as they freeze to death means they were seriously lacking in something.

It’s too bad the US is a high litigation and frivolous law suit society. Help someone crossing the street can land you a suit if that person falls and got injured.

This is why I'd never more to Alaska. Wisconsin is cold enough.

This is a sad story, she had a lot of other shit going on in her life...

"Police records reviewed by Alaska’s News Source show Lindsay was dealing with mounting financial, legal and personal pressures in the months before her death. Among them: a two-year legal dispute with her parents over her grandmother’s estate.

Court records show Randy and Susan Kaer had an extensive history of litigation before the dispute with their daughter. They had been defendants in 25 lawsuits dating back to 2003, involving debt collection, eviction, real estate disputes and homeowners’ association complaints — most resolved through settlement or default judgments against them.

They also accumulated significant secured debt: a legal claim filed against their Big Lake, Alaska property in 2020; a $431,386 home equity line of credit on their Anchorage home in 2022; and a $1.345 million refinanced deed of trust on their Big Lake condo, also in 2022. The Kaers also owned a hotel in Juneau.

When Alecia’s grandmother, Ai Liau Mayo, died on June 7, 2022, her will named Lindsay as personal representative of the estate.

Within weeks, her parents filed a civil complaint alleging Lindsay had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of jewelry from her grandmother’s safes.

A court order dated Feb. 7, 2023 removed Lindsay as personal representative of the estate.

In March 2023, the Kaers filed a financing statement using their Juneau hotel as collateral. By January 2024, they had filed additional financing statements using both the Big Lake condo and the Juneau hotel.

Rather than continue litigating, the parties reached a settlement. Under the agreement, signed by all parties and approved by Superior Court Judge Andrew Guidi on Nov. 27, 2023, Lindsay received $256,000 from the estate in exchange for forfeiting all other claims — and returned the jewelry to her parents.

The theft allegations were never proven or disproven in court. The settlement agreement explicitly states it is not an admission of wrongdoing by any party, and no restitution flowed to her parents.

The building manager at Lindsay’s complex told investigators she had received about $250,000 in cash in the period before her death — consistent with the settlement funds.

Despite the settlement, police found Lindsay was two months behind on her $2,500 monthly rent by the time of her death. She had borrowed money from tenants and, according to the building manager, some stopped responding when she could not pay them back.

Her ex-husband told police because of the lawsuit, Lindsay had lost contact with her family.

When officers searched her apartment after her death, they reported her thermostat set to 61 degrees, clothing still in the washing machine and notebooks filling the apartment — the handwriting so illegible investigators said they could not decipher it."

An Anchorage woman froze to death. A lawsuit claims a 911 dispatcher failed to get her urgent help.

If you have two blankets, coats, warm cup of coffee, and your neighbor lacks, GIVE IT TO HIM/HER

It's just wrong to live in fear like these people did

Good Gawd, how do people manage to **** up that kind of wealth?

This is a classic case of common sense colliding with legal facts. There is no obligation whatsoever to help someone in need. BUT, if you do help that person, you are fully and absolutely liable for everything that happens. They choke on a warm cup of coffee. They are allergic to the blanket. You are on the hook for absolutely everything that happens. Good intentions mean nothing.
