If you look inside Robert Dotson's garage, it is almost as if time stopped.

His late wife’s SUV sits there motionless, mostly gathering dust, on the same concrete where his she parked it 12 months ago.

On a warm July night, Connie Dotson parked her 2016 Toyota Rav4 Limited in the garage, walked inside her house and went to sleep.

She died alone inside her home of carbon monoxide poisoning, not knowing her keyless car was still running in the attached garage.
