Some person or persons broke into the Eagle home of the alleged victim in the Kobe Bryant case, sources told the Vail Daily.

Late last week someone broke into the house, being relatively careful not to break anything, and nothing was stolen. But sources said the burglars also made it clear they wanted the victim and her family to know they had been there.

They said whoever broke in moved several items and locked the family dogs in a bathroom.

Regional law enforcement authorities said they are investigating the incident. So far, no arrests have been made.

The incident report was made part of the sealed investigation file and is not available to the public. Acting Eagle Police Chief Gary Ward declined to say whether the alleged victim's house was receiving additional security.

The break-in incident comes in the midst of several attempts to threaten and intimidate the victim, witnesses and others associated with the case, through the mail and by telephone calls.

U.S. Attorney John W. Suthers and Phillip B.J. Reid, special agent in charge of the FBI's Rocky Mountain Division, announced the indictment and arrest of John William Roche of Iowa City, Iowa, on suspicion of making a threatening telephone call across state lines.

Roche was arrested Thursday without incident at his home by special agents of the FBI and officers of the Iowa City Police Department.

Roche reportedly threatened to kill or injure the alleged victim.
