Woman killed in Farmingdale identified as longtime professor Patricia Ward
A woman's decapitated body and a man killed by an oncoming train are being investigated as a murder-suicide of a mother and son, a source told Newsday.
Patrick Calabria, vice president of institutional advancement at Farmingdale State College, said Wednesday that the woman killed was longtime language arts professor Patricia Ward -- a 28 year faculty member. She worked in the Long Island Educational...
Update from earlier post ...
Excellent argument for concealed carry.
Indeed. The language arts professor wasn’t able to talk the killer out of doing it.
She was surprised. But, no one on the platform was armed either, and that's why the good Samaritan died after being chased into the path of the oncoming train.
Yes.
This whole thing is confusing. Did the son kill the mother? Earlier I had read that it was someone else who did it, and the person who tried to help her was chased into an oncoming train. In that version, the perp got away.
Ping for clarity.
According to number2name.com, her address (one of three found online) is different from the location of the murder/suicide:
Example A: 9 Reese Pl Farmingdale NY, 11735 2.04 miles from murder scene
ZabaSearch has two additional addresses for her (all share same phone number):
Example B: 17 Paula Dr Farmingdale, NY 11735 1.97 miles from murder scene
Example C: 90 Crestwood Blvd Farmingdale, NY 11735 1.73 miles from murder scene
Begs the question(s):
WAITAMINUTE!!!! Was the killer a Democrat or was the killee a Democrat? Or both?
Hard to follow this story and need the facts before I can pass judgement.......

Has son’s name as Derek
Ban knives!
Thanks, just finished reading it when I saw your update.
If her son had a drug problem, then the rest of this makes perfect sense, especially if he was hooked on meth. The psychosis is real for meth users. My prayers for the woman’s family, and for the repose of the souls of Ms. Ward and her son.
Sad case.
Wonder if his brief rap sheet included incarceration where he could have reverted.
Was it “Derek” Before or after her son's conversion to radical Islam? /rhetorical question
This was the first day I heard about this on the local radio. However, I read the story the day this story was promoted (don’t have to view) http://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/hidden-camera-records-100-catcalls-aimed-york-woman/story?id=26541089
As I read the news link to the hidden camera video, I thought why is that news and not the beheading.
WTF is going on out here? Saw this earlier on Drudge and it is now on the right hand side of the site: http://www.okcfox.com/story/27167688/one-charged-after-near-beheading-in-stillwater
"... In the affidavit Isaiah Marin is called a "religious zealot" and "heavy drug user."There was some evidence at the scene that the suspect might have been involved in the use of some illegal drugs," said Capt. Dickerson."....
"Marin had strong religious beliefs and was watching videos on YouTube related to his Christian beliefs and the Book of Matthew before the murder, according to an affidavit obtained by the Daily News.
"He had been watching YouTube videos related to his Christian beliefs and the Book of Matthew just hours earlier reports tulsaworld.Marin and Crockett had sparred in the past because the victim had been practicing witchcraft, which Marin saw as contrary to his strong religious beliefs.
"Stillwater police arrested Isaiah Marin after they say he called 911 to report he had killed someone.
Nothing in either of the reports indicates whether Marin's brother Samuel, who was at the apartment when Crockett was killed attempted to call police/ambulance.
