She told TV station WPXI: “But I can’t call the police and say, ‘There’s a blanket in my basement’.”

On one Saturday morning, she went upstairs after hearing some sounds which she believed was caused by her cat.

She says she was shocked to find Cary Cocuzzi, 31, standing there.

She explained: “Nobody in my home uses the bathroom that way. And I didn’t have any visitors, so I just thought, ‘Gosh, is this guy in my house? This is so strange.’

“I had an intuition about it, but I ignored it. I brushed it aside. I didn’t want to seem paranoid… you know, you never think this will happen to you, but I should have trusted my instinct because I was right.”

She told the TV station that ‘she is grateful her daughters weren’t home during the confrontation’.
