Sad
Oh my. How unbelievably sad for a 17 year old to die like that.....just awful.
I used to be friends with a long time police chief of a small city in North Carolina. He was a really sharp old guy and must have just enjoyed his job as he was filthy rich.
One time he mentioned that a lot of suicides are actually murders that they just don’t have the evidence to convict or prove otherwise.
My spidey-sense is tingling.
Wonder if he was trolling for victims?
Unusual “suicide”?
Where was Daddy at the time?
holy cr@p on a stick.
An alleged “7.62 cal. rifle,” but at least one CBS outlet is reporting the mystery rifle as an M-4, meaning a .556 mm. AR type rifle. Why don’t they just show us a picture of the thing???
“a lot of suicides are actually murders that they just don’t have the evidence to convict”
Incinerating a girl’s body would definitely eliminate any incriminating bodily fluids, and make it certain that she would never testify.
.556 mm? Now that's a small caliber...
Very very tragic.
Children in foster care tend to have lots of problems to begin with. How sad that this girl apparently saw no way out, and decided to kill herself. I thought I heard he was belligerent
and violent towards her, which may well have pushed her over the edge.
According to Mara Liasson we’re all to blame for her self-immolation.
Suicide? Or murder?
I don’t believe a 17-year-old girl would commit suicide in this matter. Pills maybe. Car exhaust maybe. Not this.
This Democrat man, IIRC, had physically abused his own daughter. Dragged her by her hair. He was a mean SOB and probably offed this foster child.
And I don’t agree with people who call him “crazy”. He’s a Democrat and typical. Dubbing him crazy just gives him a pass.
Very strange.
I saw one report that it was an SKS.
Weird how the British press actually REPORTS NEWS and the American ENEMEDIA only spouts leftist propaganda.

Judging by what we know, most likely a Godless home filled with hate and resentment. Very sad.
