A doctor involved in an "on-again, off-again" relationship apparently tried to force her way into her boyfriend's home by sliding down the chimney, police said Tuesday. Her decomposing body was found there three days later.


Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac, 49, first tried to get into the house with a shovel, then climbed a ladder to the roof last Wednesday night, removed the chimney cap and slid feet first down the flue, Bakersfield police Sgt. Mary DeGeare said.


While she was trying to break in, the man she was pursuing escaped unnoticed from another exit "to avoid a confrontation," authorities said.
I... got nothing.
 
Kind of um police failure there.

Still... 3 days with no food and water, possible to survive?

She should have kept her cellphone with her...
 
That's what I thought too, assuming she didn't die before being "stuck" in the chimney. Let's say she can survive for a bit, wouldn't her scream get some attention?

It's sad because the missing person's report filed 2 days prior didn't cause anyone to bother looking for her... in maybe her boyfriends place... an extremely obvious location.
 
can you really fit down the chute? or would you slide a bit then fall and shatter your ankles and everything else.
