Family doubts Federal Way police did enough to protect slain woman

While Chan Kim proceeds through court trials for the alleged slaying of his girlfriend, Baerbel Roznowski, her grown daughters wonder if police could have done more to protect their mother. Roznowski, 66, sought an anti-harassment order May 1 against Kim, also known as Paul Kim, her live-in boyfriend. She thought the order was her ticket to escaping her 16-year relationship with Kim in a quick and safe manner. Instead, Roznowski was found slain in her home May 3, hours after Kim was served an anti-harassment order and told by Federal Way police he must immediately leave the residence.
