## The Story Behind the Video

It was a terrifying Monday morning for one 16-year-old girl in Omaha as she burst into her parents' room. She couldn't really get her sentences out. Finally, she was like, "The guy from upstairs. The one with the stringy thin hair was just in my room trying to pull my pants down," Haley Oleson Rath said. She and her husband confronted the man just minutes after he left their apartment, and he was hiding in one of the back bedrooms.

Oleson Rath said she and her husband went to call the authorities, and Whitman left. Later that night, police found him and took him into custody. The police document says he first denied it but then told them a "gator" on Facebook made him do it. "Thank God nothing worse happened," Oleson Rath said. "Even aside from what happened with my daughter, just the fact that he thought it was cool that he could just walk in that alone is just freaking me and my husband out."

In late February, an Omaha police report details Whitman's admission to having a mental disorder and told police his meds weren't working. The saddest part of all of it is even her daughter said, "I don't want him to go spend his life in prison or get hurt or anything. I just want him to get the help he needs." Oleson Rath and her husband lock their doors but it just happened to be the one time they forgot to.

Whitman will be back in court in late March. NAVIGATE: Home | Weather | Local News | National | Sports | Newscasts on demand.
