Texas police say that a Chicago door-to-door salesman entered an elderly woman's home in Texas, raped her, and then set her on fire.

23 year old Daniel Deshawn Neal of Chicago was reportedly arrested yesterday night in Fort Worth, Texas based on information from another door-to-door sales person that allegedly linked him to the crime.  It is alleged that Neal entered the 78 year old woman's home, raped her, and then set her on fire with rubbing alcohol.  The elderly victim survived, with second degree burns, and is being hospitalized.
