Police are on the lookout for two attackers who police believe severely injured a 79-year-old woman in her Taylorsville home.
Peterson said she doesn't think her attackers stole anything. "I heard one of them say something like 'money,' and I can remember saying, 'If I had some, I'd give it to you.'""My neighbor happened to come out and I hollered at her," Peterson said.
Peterson is covered in bruises, bumps and cuts all over her body. "I'm feeling better, it's going to take a while," she said."I kind of wondered if they were going to kill me," Peterson said."We've just not had issues like this," Pierce said. "We've been here, my wife and I, 17 years. This really shook things up."
While Peterson heals, she's focusing on her family. Her daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are by her side. She said one question haunts her. "What if I had had my grandkids in the house? I just wonder why do some people act that way," Peterson said. Taylorsville police are seeking the public's help in finding the attackers shown in surveillance camera images. Any information should be reported to Taylorsville dispatch at 801-840-4000 and refer to case number TY23-25127.
