After owner Carole Barnish died in August, Shalena Earnheart filed a deed for the house and a probate case for Barnish’s estate. Earnheart said she was Barnish’s “only help” and “constant companion” for many years. But long-time neighbors say they’d never seen or heard of Earnheart until she took title to the home.

We’ve definitely seen all three games that we have to be a little smarter when you’re that aggressive.
