Do you have a source or reference for this? I'd be really surprised if some of your items (e.g. her house being shot up, her dog "disassembled") wouldn't result in some level of journalistic coverage.
My apologies, but my time on the Internet has definitely trained me to be skeptical of extreme reports that make me enraged, without additional evidence.
I suppose one would have to take OP's word. A 3 year old account doesn't seem to be the kind (hopefully) engaging in false rumors. And after all this I definitely wouldn't expect her to go forward lest her family gets harmed.
Sidenote, but coming from a country where it's "known" that speaking up against corruption can likely end up killing you, it's funny to see people being skeptical about it. It's maybe similar to racism/sexism - yes, don't believe anything without proof - but if someone claims it's happened and give details, it's certainly quite plausible.
People exaggerate or flat-out lie about these sort of things all the time if they feel victimized (rightfully or not). Threatening phone calls I can believe, but it gets more and more unbelievable the further down the list.
I make no judgements, but this is absolutely a "trust, but verify" type of situation IMHO.
