Bradford,
I have no record of this event for these people. The only thing I have for Heather is a traffic accident in 2011. I have no records for 3210 Edna except for them reporting a barking dog in August of last year. As far as the 1020 E Waco address the only thing they have is burglar alarms.
Christina
