The next day, officers canvassed the neighborhood and a neighbor told police that several months earlier, she had been sleeping when her grandchildren woke her and told her of a woman screaming for help. The woman went outside, running across the street, and as she approached, she found the woman on the north side of the home, coughing up water. The woman told the neighbor that her husband had tried to drown her and the woman looked like she had been under water. Police were not contacted after the woman begged for her not to call police. Knaub had been leaving the home at the time that the neighbor came to the woman’s aid, she told police.
