Junior Kristin Dravis didn’t feel the man’s touch on the back of her leg at first.
“I kind of woke up and didn’t think anything about it because the sensation wasn’t there,” she said. “I fell back asleep again and then the guy grabbed my thigh, and I woke up and the guy was standing over me.
“I didn’t scream,” Dravis said. “I said, ‘Oh my God.’ The guy wasn’t scared. He just very calmly turned around and walked out.”
Between 5:30 and 6:30 a.m. Friday, an unidentified man entered the houses of two groups of students living off campus, including Dravis and her roommate Catherine Smith, who live on the 300 block of Church Street.
Chapel Hill police spokesman Lt. Kevin Gunter said in both cases the man entered through unlocked front doors, after which he entered the bedrooms of three students. He left upon his discovery each time.
But Dravis and Smith said they locked their door, and students have more to worry about besides remembering to turn the dead bolt.
“I’m 99 percent sure the doors were locked,” Smith said. “Nothing is 100 percent, but I’m pretty sure.”
Dravis said she left a spare key hidden outside for her boyfriend. She and Smith think the intruder watched the house, stole the key and used it to gain entry.
