Kathleen Dudosh, 37, of Allentown, Pennsylvania, was killed on March 28, 1985 by her estranged boyfriend, Richard P. Miller, despite having a protection-from-abuse order against him. Dudosh had contacted police multiple times to report harassment, abuse, and specific threats by Miller before the fatal attack, but those contacts and the court order did not prevent her death.

Her family later sued the city of Allentown, alleging the police had a duty to protect her based on the protection order and her repeated reports. The lawsuit, Dudosh v. City of Allentown, was settled. The case drew attention to what responsibilities law enforcement and the courts have toward people who obtain protection orders.

Does anyone have information about Kathleen’s interactions with police in the months before March 28, 1985, or about enforcement of protection orders in Allentown at that time?
