I think this is the cousin of a FReeper’s stepson. It sounds like the one a FReeper asked us to pray for yesterday.

Prime suspect will be the husband. And usually he is the perpetrator.

May God have mercy on her soul and give comfort to those who loved her.

Thanks. It sounded like it may have been the same incident, and you saved me digging around to see if they matched up.

You could have left out the second sentence.

Prayers sent for her and her family.

Smells like someone waited, knowing the husband would be out of the house. May they find the murderer soon and sentence him to the full extent of the law.

He's already been ruled out. She succumbed to her injuries. Cops are looking at robbery as the motive.

That's just what they're saying right now. This early in the investigation I can guarantee you that they haven't even begun to look at the husband. The detectives will look at finances, cell phone records to include text messages, credit card statements, computer hard drives and a whole lot more. No competent police department rules out the husband before the body is cold.

You were right. It was not the husband. The suspect was found using Amanda’s credit card. He is a felon with a long arrest record. It seems that there is some “subsidized housing” not far from the victims house. You will not find this on Nancy Grace, know what I mean.

By the way Amanda was raped.
