Mitchell has moved all of Valentine's belongings out but doesn't know what to do with them. She hopes the woman's relatives will reclaim the goods.
"It's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen," Mitchell said.
Investigators at the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said they are unsure why Valentine moved into the woman's home. The suspect has not yet explained her actions.

Valentine was being held in Douglas County Jail on a $25,000 bond. If convicted, she could face one to 20 years in prison.
