A woman looking for her soulmate found herself trapped in the chimney of a man she met through an online dating site. Genoveva Nunez-Figueroa, thirty, was rescued by a team of firefighters after attempting to enter the man’s home in Los Angeles, California on Sunday, police say. Neighbors alerted authorities after the soot-covered intruder became stuck and started screaming for help.Rico says yet another reason not to use on-line dating...
The whole rescue operation was live-tweeted by Captain Mike Lindbery from the Ventura County Fire Department. Firefighters carefully removed bricks to reach the woman, and then used dishwashing soap to lubricate the chimney so she could be safely lifted out.
Homeowner Lawrence Fernandez said the pair had been on six dates before he broke things off. "She seemed totally cool until the first flag was her actually being on my roof two weeks ago,” he told KTLA. “Having someone in your chimney is like kind of a weird thing you wouldn’t expect to come home to,” he explained to CBS LA. “It wasn’t Santa Claus, that's for sure.” He added: “You have to be careful who you meet online.”
Nunez-Figueroa was arrested for illegal entry and providing false information to an officer.
