-Police arrest neighbor of the Burke family and charged him with rape.
A 6-year-old girl placed a 911 call after intruder breaks in her families' house with a knife and rapes her mother.
Laura Burke was at home with her mother, Lynn Burke, when their neighbor, Andrew Caspinwall, broke into their back door with a knife and hit Lynn. Laura hid in her parent's bedroom as she cried and made her brave 911 call. Three police cars showed up to the Burke's residence at 412 West Ave. to arrest and charge Caspinwall for the rape of Lynn Burke.
Laura worked very cooperatively with the 911 dispatch as she gave them the address to her home and described what was happening. The 911 dispatch told her to lock the room door to keep her safe as she corresponded with the dispatch's procedure. They found Laura's father, Randy Burke, and got him to come home to the scene.
"My mommy, what''ll happen to my mommy," crying Laura asked.
Lynn was taken to a hospital promptly. Caspinwall is currently being held in a county jail and his bail is set for $250,000.
