    So terrible. It's too close to home even 2500 miles away.
  • @dednoodl6356
    The fact that we arent holding the murder accountable is absolutely sickening. Its been 18 hours and we still have no idea who the perpetrator was, only that they where still in the apartment when it happened.
  • @AJZona-AJR79
    Murder is not groundbreaking, even if it happens in a small community.

    Real crime is that kid thinking "groundbreaking" was proper choice of expressions
  • @KurtJarrell
    Sad.truly sad that a life of such promise was extinguished.

    How absolutely awful. The poor girl. May she rest in peace, and I pray for the end of attacks on women. 💔
  • @geogeotagz
    Remember that this could have been a knife if guns weren't an option. Nothing indicates it wasn't a close range altercation.
  • @SpeedyCorky
    no photo or description of the 'suspect'... HRM I WONDER WHY
  • @John-jy2qi
    When they don't give a pic or description it means it wasn't a white man

    The very first weekend we moved to "the country". an elderly man accidently ran over and killed his own wife in a Dairy Queen parking lot. She had stepped over the trailer hitch in the rear of the truck, just as he pulled forward to look for her. A Minister across the street saw it all and ran over and prayed with her for the two minutes it her took to die. I told my wife, "Just because we moved to the country, don't think Death doesn't have our forwarding address."

    They think because its a small town and people are nice its not likely to happen. That's truly stupid to think
