Home invaders beat KimRolf so badly, they broke her nose, eye socket and vocal chords.
Kim Rolf said she just got in bed about 11:30 the night of November 17th, 2017 when three intruders broke into her home.
« They barged in and all I could see was a clown mask ready to hit me and then I was out, » Kim Rolf said.
KETV reports Rolf, a retired VA nurse, said she doesn’t know how much time elapsed as she was in and out of consciousness.
« I had no use of anything and I had a gag in my mouth. I was gasping for air and I thought, ‘this is it. This is the end of my story,' » Rolf recalled. « Then I went out because they hit me again. »
Rolf, 43, said she was home alone. Her teenage children staying at their father’s that weekend.
« It’s a nightmare. It’s a true nightmare, » Rolf said.
Rolf said CT scans show she had 17 blows on her head. Ten on the skull, 7 on her face.
« I was being strangled. My hands were tied behind my back, » Rolf said.
She said one intruder held a gun to her head demanding money. They choked her so hard, she said they broke her vocal chords. They also left her with a broken nose, broken eye socket, stitches and plenty of bruises and scratches.
Rolf believes this assault was random.
« If they knew me, they knew they wouldn’t have to do all those things to keep me down, » Rolf said. « What am I going to do run down the street. »
This mother couldn’t escape because she lost a leg in 2009 after being involved in a head-on crash.
« Losing my leg was nothing compared to this, nothing, » Rolf said.
But that loss then may have saved her now. She said when the intruders found the cash in her purse, they also found pain killers.
« He immediately put the gun back in his coat and said if i moved he would kill me. I did what he was told, » Rolf said.
She said she eventually managed to get help from a neighbor and call 911.
Council Bluffs police are still looking for the attackers and said the leads have run dry.
If you can help, call police. 712-328-7867.
Rolf still has surgeries to endure and is looking for a place to live. She said she can’t back to the home on Ash Street.
