Dowsey, 27, who grew up with Taylor in Southern Maryland, was shot to death in September despite the warning, despite the help of advocates, family and friends, despite police attention, and a court-issued protective order by her husband. Her estranged husband is charged in St. Mary's County.
The number of domestic violence calls in Maryland has gone up since 2000, from 362 that year to 450 in the first 10 months of this year, according to St. Mary's County Sheriff David D. Zylak. And the number of cases in St. Mary's reported to Maryland State Police went from 427 in 1999 to 650 in 2002.
