It sounds like she made bad choices with respect to with whom to associate. There was a guy murdered in suburban Doylestown this past weekend; it was a hit. It seems both cases are more a case of with whom one associates rather than where one chooses to live. Still, I hope they catch the scum that did this soon - what a waste, and what a sick thing to do.

Although there was no forced entry, it's quite possible she was confronted at the moment she was entering the front door of her residence. It wouldn't be the first time such a thing has happened.

Do you have any evidence of this or are you just making a baseless assumption?

Sounds like the latter to me.

Let's wait until more facts come out before judging the types of people the victim associated herself with.

Did you read the link? This is Silence of the Lambs stuff. It wasn't random. If it is, we've got a Charles Manson / Zodiac Killer / Son of Sam-type person in the loose. Street thugs don't tie people up and set them on fire inside a very expensive house where there's no sign of forced entry. This is an extremely sick individual who had alot of anger in them.

Bill has the victim even been positively ID'D ?

I agree with what you say about the guy from Bucks County, but verified info has been released regarding his murder.

Let's wait until there is some concrete info before making assumptions.

Really? How about using fire to destroy evidence. I can think of one major reason to do that but I will not speculate at this point.

Where'd you get your info, Billy Ross? The article contained in the link was pretty vague and made no mention of with whom the victim associated. I know it would make people feel better to know that this was not just some random atrocity, but to insinuate that it somehow had to do with her lifestyle choices based on three paragraphs on Philly.com seems like a stretch.

I guess I'm just believing the links. Hopefully it wasn't the person indicated thus far, and really it's some crackhead who got in a fight with a S.O. If you have any reason to believe that the links aren't correct or are misleading, let me know. Right now we're relying upon the press in a developing story, and that can be dangerous.

Not far from here a few years ago there was a girl who was a recent college graduate, with a great life to look forward to. Then one day her body was found in her mother's burning home. It turns out she got into an argument with her boyfriend, who beat her to death (I think he nearly decapitated her, actually), then lit the place on fire to cover his tracks. He got caught, of course. This one is even worse, since the victim here is even better educated and she was tied hand and foot.

Sometimes you are such a douche, BR. The poor woman was just killed, they haven't identified her, and you're casting all sorts of aspersions. Can't you just give it a rest for a short while?

Exactly !

Two possibilities:

1) She was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and was bum rushed into her house by a sadistic freak straight out of Quentin Tarantino.

2) She became friendly with a sadistic freak with serious anger control issues, clearly not knowing what danger she was getting herself into.

People generally suspect the former, while the evidence almost always leads to the latter. Both are possible. It may have been random - I don't know. Still, I'll be surprised and disturbed if it's the former.

[Marquis]

I don't know.

I strongly agree with this part.

Why does her level of education make it worse?

What other link is there, aside from the Philly.com article and a link to a blog that was last posted to in 2008????? If those are the two sources you're basing your comment on, you'd be well advised to wait a little to see what other information is released (such as a positive ID of the victim, for starters).

[NJbound]

Its just sad to see such a thing happen to a person. Our prayers go out to her family..

I guess I'm just believing the links. Hopefully it wasn't the person indicated thus far.

One link is her blog ending in 2008, the other indicates no one unless you're accusing her dog walker, and you should give it up while you're not ahead.

I would say the two possibilities are:

1. Approached by stranger as she was entering house

2. Handyman doing work in house turned on her.

Anyone remember the two ladies murdered in loxley court in old city in the 90's
By their handyman?

He was referring to the victim.

And might I remind everyone...
Sex offender on Calumet Street

You should get to know him.

Yes we hope it wasn't her but someone else? That would be a relief (not).
