By you calling the police the last time, she should know you mean business. She is being careful right now, b/c she knows she is under scrutiny.

The cop said something similar to this as well.

I find a lot of your advice very helpful (and VERY MUCH appreciated). Even in threads that are not related to my sitch. I'm sure others on this board feel the same way.
The lawyer advised me to show up in court on every court date and be ready to testify.
