The "mystery woman" in TX who was ringing doorbells at 3 am, with a broken restraint

dangling from her wrist, has been found safe.

The full story isn't being given out, but authorities say the man she was living with shot himself to death and left a suicide note. She is now staying with relatives.

Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Scott Spencer said during a press conference Wednesday that the woman is safe. He said they learned of her identity after finding a 49-year-old man – who had made suicidal threats and comments – dead during a welfare check.

“The preliminary cause of death at this time is a single gunshot wound believed (to be) self-inflicted,” Lt. Spencer said. “The decedent’s girlfriend, a 32-year-old white female, who was not on scene when deputies arrived, is confirmed to be the female in the doorbell video that has been circulating around on the internet.”

Lt. Spencer said they are not identifying the woman because she is a family violence victim, adding only that she is now with family.

When asked about the nature of the family violence, Lt. Spencer said, “There’s some issues, obviously, with the surveillance video and why she’s wearing those restraints and the circumstances surrounding it. We only have one side of the story right now.”

Lt. Spencer said the victim left a suicide note that helped identify the girlfriend and helped explain “some of the circumstances behind why this occurred,” adding that the woman was living with the 49-year-old at the Sunrise Ranch home where the body was found.

The story answers the main question but raises a lot of new ones. Sounds like it was a really bad situation no matter what the details are.
