On Saturday, Jan. 14, 2012, Summer Dawn Paiva, age 26 (pictured), and Michael Anderson, Jr., age 25, both of Gresham, were arrested and charged with Burglary I and Theft I in connection to a burglary committed on Thursday, Jan. 12 in Boring, Ore.

Both suspects were lodged in the Clackamas County Jail and scheduled for arraignment today (Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012) at 3:00 p.m.

On Jan. 12, 2012 at approximately 5:30 a.m., a home in the 11000 block of S.E. 312th Drive in Boring was burglarized. At approximately 5 a.m. that morning, the homeowner had left for work, leaving his 11-year-old daughter at home.

The daughter was in bed when she was awakened by the sounds of burglars in the house. The girl immediately sent a text message to her father telling him there was someone in the house. The girl’s father called 911 and headed back home.

The girl then called 911 while hiding under her blankets and giving information to the emergency operator. The burglars continued to move through the house, taking property, as Clackamas County Sheriff's Office deputies rushed to the scene.

The burglars fled from the house just prior to deputies’ arrival. Deputies secured the home and found the 11-year-old girl unharmed. They conducted an immediate search of the vicinity but did not locate the burglars.

Within 48 hours of the crime, the investigation led to a hotel room in Troutdale where Paiva and Anderson were found in possession of stolen property from the burglary. Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office detectives from the Property Crimes Unit arrested both subjects at the scene.

It was determined that this burglary was not a random act -- and that the victims were familiar with Paiva from prior contact.

Detectives continue to investigate this case, and are looking into any possible connections between these two suspects and other as yet unsolved burglaries in the area.

911 tapes from the initial call have been impounded as evidence and are not available.

The homeowner and 11-year-old daughter are not available for contact.
