I read this story in the Culpeper Star-Exponent newspaper several weeks back. Patricia Cook was a very nice looking woman, much younger looking than her 54 years, so he could have been hitting on her. She may have been looking for a job at the church’s nursery. You are parked in church parking lot, someone thinks you are a suspicious person and you get murdered by a overzealous police officer. Mayberry R.F.D. this ain’t! Sheriff Andy Taylor had better confiscate this deputy’s pistol before he shoots Opie.
The State Police should wrap up the investigation in a week or two and I see no reason why they would want to cover anything up. It is infuriating because there is NO information coming out and we want answers. Logic tells us the officer overreacted, considering the information we have.
I am willing to wait a bit longer to become outraged..
the only thing we know is this woman who has no record, known as a good person who helps children, married, was in a parking lot, in her own vehicle when she was murdered....
driving away from a cop is NOT a reason to arrest her, charge her, convict her, then murder her....
wake up people
