After Natalia's adoptive parents had her age changed from 6 to 22, they set her up in her own apartment -- where she allegedly told neighbors she wanted to kill her adoptive family, showed up in their homes uninvited and behaved inappropriately around men.
, the Ukrainian orphan who made headlines thanks to her adoptive family's claims she was actually an adult woman hellbent on killing them, was allegedly a nightmare of a neighbor.
A quick refresher: Michael and Kristina Barnett claimed Natalia -- who was born with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia -- came to them through an adoption agency in 2010 and were told she was six at the time. But they began to doubt her age and, in June 2012, Marion County Superior Court agreed to legally change the girl's birth record to indicate she was born in 1989 and not 2003. Shortly after, the Barnetts set her up with her own apartment.
It wasn't long until Natalia -- who was either around 10 or in her early 20s -- started to make quite the impression on her neighbors. Toby said it was clear she"needed some help," regardless of her age ... while most of the neighbors said her family rarely visited. Another neighbor, Sue McCallum, said Natalia's adoptive mother Kristina would just leave groceries for her on the sidewalk, for Natalia to carry in herself ... and was shocked to learn the girl was on food stamps after seeing her parents' nice cars.
