I don't know every little detail. I do know this is in Ohio though. She said the papers were dropped off at her house and were very informal in appearance - no envelope, no staple, etc.
Perhaps the person who attempted to serve her saw her through a window and decided it was safe to just leave the papers. I read somewhere that you don't have to accept the papers to be officially served. The source where I read that suggested that a person could technically identify you in the street, drop the papers at your feet, and run and you would officially be considered "served".
I read somewhere else that if all reasonable attempts fail, there is some type of notice you can put in a local newspaper that also counts even if you never read that paper. I don't know how true any of this information is.

how can there be a default judgement is she was never served? doesn't make sense, she must have been properly served at some point in time.
