How would you handle this?

Good afternoon! It's been a couple weeks since I've posted. My rental property is now cleaned up and I've had 2 showings with another set for tomorrow. Today, however, I received a call from someone in Texas that sounds too good to be true. She wants to submit an app sight-unseen. She told me I will find she filed bankruptcy 4 years ago due to her son's medical bills and "the economy" but she has been in the same rental property in texas for 4 years and is "a great" tennant.

I e-mailed her an application. If she wants to lease the place and I've never met her, how would you proceed? How do I know if the background and credit checks I'm going to run are actually for the right person? Do any of you have experience leasing to folks you've never met?
