No perp???
Erm, no. She had been rehoused, moved to a different location because of the abuse. To say that there was no perpetrator of the abuse is stupid.
The victim was living in fear. Hardly a week goes by without a victim of Domestic Violence winding up dead. Most of them were already known to the police. Most of the perpetrators already had restraining Orders against them.
Most victims of domestic violence are so afraid of their abusers that they don't report the crimes.
I agree with the OP, the follow up story will probably be that her body has been found...
The woman who gave out the details should then be charged with being an accessory to murder.
