A bit similar to Karina Vetrano who was killed in NY;
Similarities, both went out jogging. Both beaten badly.
It probably isn’t the same perpetrator, the perp would have to travel, this happened in Massachusetts but something to bear in mind.
This was “Liberal-on-Liberal” crime, not to be highlighted or talked about in polite circles.
Why do we have to go to British newspapers for this kind of news?
Well, yes.
Serial killers may kill more victims than we think: IU News Room: Indiana University
http://newsinfo.iu.edu/web/page/normal/7225.html
Serial killers may be responsible for up to 10 times as many U.S. deaths as previously estimated, according to an analysis by a criminologist at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.
Kenna Quinet, associate professor in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at IUPUI, makes the case for the higher death figures in an article titled, “The Missing Missing: Toward a Quantification of Serial Murder Victimization in the United States.” It was published recently in the journal Homicide Studies.

Quinet writes that a lack of reliable data about the “missing missing” — including marginalized groups such as prostitutes, transients, gay street hustlers, foster children and “thrown-away” teens — is likely to contribute to undercounting of the victims of serial killers. Recent academic estimates of the average number of serial killer victims each year range from 67 to 180. Quinet’s analysis, based on conservative extrapolations from existing data, would add at least 182 and possibly as many 1,832 victims.
“We’re talking about a factor of two clear up to a factor of 10,” she said. “And this is not new — these are victims that we’ve always been not counting.”
The article marks a return to a subject of early professional interest for Quinet, who is also a Faculty Fellow at the Center for Urban Policy and the Environment at IUPUI, teaches a course each spring titled, “Murder in America,” and is a member of the Indiana Violent Crime and Homicide Investigator’s Association.
In research published in 1990, she debunked wildly inflated claims about the number of serial killer victims that had been circulated by special interest and advocacy groups and in the news media. But the much more conservative calculations of victim numbers that followed were also inaccurate, she said, because they were based on incomplete data.
“The true number of serial murder victims in the United States is a function of what we know — apprehended killers and strongly suspected serial murder cases — as well as what we do not know — serial murder cases that for one reason or another are off the radar of police, coroners, medical examiners and others officials,” she writes in the Homicide Studies article. “The exaggeration and hype of the 1980s have been replaced by more reasonable estimates, but we may yet be undercounting the number of serial murder victims in the United States by discounting what we do not know.”
What we do not know includes: How often are the bodies of murder victims never found or never identified as victims? What happens to members of marginalized groups who disappear but are never reported missing, because no one cares enough about them or knows enough about them to file a report? How often do we fail to detect murders of people who were expected to die, such as hospital patients and nursing home residents?
Quinet applies known information about serial murderers and their victims to available data about missing persons, overall U.S. deaths, hospital census figures and information about the “missing missing” — missing persons who were never reported as missing — to calculate that current estimates may be failing to account for between 182 and 1,832 victims of serial killings a year.
The article cites the case of the Green River serial killer in Washington as an example of how including the “missing missing” could change the numbers. One-third of the killer’s 48 known victims were never reported missing, had been mistakenly deleted from police missing-persons databases, or were never identified.

2nd raped and murdered female jogger in one week. There truly are monsters among us.
Get off your 'girl power' high horses, gals.
The US media won’t touch this story until they can confirm the suspect is a white male. If not, or if otherwise (as it almost certainly is), then no mention of it, at all.
I don’t see that it says how she was killed. If she wasn’t shot the MSM will never mention her death. If she was shot, but by a minority or immigrant, same thing.
Awful!
Joggers: buy a couple of doggies for jogging in the great outdoor woods: a German Shepherd and a Doberman. The rapist wouldn’t get far.
Dreadful. RIP.
Damn shame. The extra weight in each hand, carrying a loaded 38\380\9mm\etc., might have saved her life...and improved her work-out!
Setting on fire to destroy dna evidence.
gut impression: pre-planned hate crime of random victim with more than one perp under 30 involved. People don’t normally carry combustible materials around in their back pocket to burn hands, feet and head - the three identifiers of the body.
