smoke so darota do back had actually been murdered her death wasn't just a tragic accident caused by the house fire she had been strangled to death and then the fire had clearly been set by the killer in an attempt to cover up what they had done so now that they had derota's autopsy results the police were hopeful that they might be able to find some of the killer's dna on darota's body because obviously dna evidence should help them identify the perpetrator quicker but unfortunately because of the fire if there was any trace of dna evidence on her body or at the crime scene it would have been destroyed which would have obviously been what the killer wanted and intended so because of this setback they started looking into darota's background trying to determine whether this murder was personal whether she had been killed by someone that she knew however this line of inquiry didn't really result in any suspects derota was a woman that was very well liked she didn't seem to have any issues or problems with anyone in her life although the police did quickly conclude that the killer hadn't broken into dorota's bungalow there were no signs of forced entry so it seemed as though she must have let them into her home she let the killer in it was also discovered that derota was actually selling her home at the time of her mother she was privately selling it on her own and she had a for sale sign outside of her property with her phone number on it and it was following this discovery that the police had an idea of what might have happened here they theorized that maybe derota's killer was someone that had contacted her and asked to view her house they pretended that they were interested in buying it so they set up a house viewing with darota and when they arrived at her home they sexually assaulted and killed her and this theory was later backed up once the police spoke to one of dorota's friends you see shortly before the fire started that day derota had spoken to this friend on the phone and she told her that she was waiting in her home for a man to arrive because he was going to have a look around her bungalow he was interested in potentially buying it however darota said that she was feeling a little bit nervous about this house viewing because she told her friend that that same man had been over just the day before to see the house and he was just a bit strange just the way he was the way he acted made dorota feel a little bit uncomfortable there was just something off about this guy and as i said he was due to come over for another viewing that day the day of her murder in fact when she was on the phone to her friend derota said that the man was on his way over and he should be arriving any minute now and dorota even said to her friend can you please phone me back in a little while just to check on me that's how anxious she was about this person coming over again however when this friend did ring back about NUMBER_TOKEN minutes later derota didn't pick up the phone and so her friends started to worry and so she got in contact with the police and she asked them if they could conduct a welfare check if they could go over to darota's house and just make sure that she was okay however around that same time the furnace repairman arrived at the property derota also had an appointment with him that day because her furnace was broken and
