Yesterday the video of a half-naked woman in Texas captured on home surveillance footage was everywhere.

We wrote about the chilling video here, with residents of the Sunrise Ranch area of Montgomery wondering exactly what was going on.

The woman in question rang several doorbells in the neighbourhood at around 3:20AM, but nobody was able to help her.

This video covers the basics, before we get to the update:

Turns out quite a bit has happened since then, so over to ABC:

The mystery of a partially-dressed woman who rang the doorbell of a Texas home in the dead of night and disappeared took a sordid turn on Wednesday when it led police to a scene of violence and death.

The woman from the video was subjected to domestic violence but is now safe, police said, five days after she was caught on the surveillance camera ringing the doorbell of a house…

Police said they arrived at a house on Wednesday in response to a call about a man threatening to kill himself, and found the woman’s 49-year-old boyfriend lying dead of a gunshot wound.

The death is believed to be suicide, police said.

The 32-year-old woman was mentioned in his suicide note but was not on the scene, officials stated.

I suppose it’s good news in that she is safe, but who knows what kind of hellish ordeal came before her rescue.

As for those shackles:

Authorities were still in the dark about what may have been the most disturbing part of the video — something that appeared to be broken restraints on both her wrists.

“There are some issues obviously with the video surveillance and why she was wearing those restraints and the circumstances surrounding it,” Lieutenant Scott Spencer of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said. “She is currently outside Montgomery County and our investigators will be meeting with her to continue the investigation.”

Hopefully, she gets the help she needs.
