Collette Kemp said she didn't expect anything from reporters and photographers when she let
 them climb onto her patio roof to watch what police were doing at a nearby apartment where
 Serial Shooters suspects lived.

But Kemp learned this week her act of goodwill will cost her $1,300.92. That is a contractor's
estimate to repair damages to the patio roof from the weight and movement of news people
 on it last week.

Bruce Rasmussen, sales manager for Gryphon Roofing and Construction Co. in Mesa, said the
 damage occurred when people mounted the roof from a ladder and walked across it to access
 the adjoining roof of Kemp's home.

"I'm surprised it didn't collapse," Rasmussen said after inspecting the patio roof and the roof to
 the home.

"A patio roof is not designed for thousands of pounds," he said. "It suffered the most. That's
 the part she will have some leaks in if it doesn't get replaced."

Rasmussen said there also was damage to the roof of the home but he didn't know how much
 of it was caused by the media. Some granules were knocked off shingles, but there didn't
appear to be damage to trusses, he said.

"It certainly decreased the life span by one or two years," he said.

Rasmussen estimated the total cost for repairs at $6,000, including the reroofing of the home
 and replacement of the patio roof.

More than a dozen news gatherers from local and national media organizations, including
The Arizona Republic, converged on the roof as police searched the apartment about
200 yards west of a block wall behind Kemp's home. The roof provided the media a bird's-eye
 view of the apartment's rear door.

Dale Hausner and Samuel Dieteman, who lived in the unit, which is part of a large apartment
 complex in north-central Mesa, were arrested and charged in the yearlong string of attacks.

Kemp said Thursday that she has received flowers, T-shirts, a baseball cap, a sun visor and
sunscreen lotion from television stations.

"But not one person from the media has inquired about my roof, and it has been a week," she
 said. "It's an insult to me."

Executives at three televisions stations and The Republic said Friday that they will review
 the situation and respond accordingly.

"This is an unusual problem, and I don't have any ready answer," said Paul Maryniak,
The Republic's Southeast Valley general manager.

"Obviously we appreciated her cooperation, but I will have to discuss her predicament with
 others in the company to see what, if anything, we can do. I think we should compensate her,
 so we'll try to coordinate with the other media and see if we can reimburse her."

Steven D. Hammel, vice president and general manager of Channel 5 (KPHO), a CBS affiliate,
said the station had not been contacted but "would do what is fair and appropriate."

John Misner, president and general manager of Channel 12 (KPNX), an NBC affiliate, and Joe
Hengemuehler, news director of Channel 15 (KNXV), an ABC affiliate, said they appreciated
 the access and would do the right thing.
