Are we off topic? Want to start a separate thread? This looks like another interesting NC case.

You know that crowd doesn't take baths.

Great article...many thanks for the ping.

In light of this thread, was the request for home addresses an attempt to establish deniability by Nifong - "Hey, how could I know who the wealthy ones were? I tried to get a subpoena to find that information."

[freespirited]

Further, if she had another kind of help, like somebody with access to one or more of the several good subscription databases that provide information on private individuals such as property ownership, property valuations and mortgages, SSN, and other personal information, it would be easy to find out which boys came from a level of wealth and which did not.

Excellent point. She could have bought such access herself for a day or month for a small fee. Not to mention that in a lot of counties, the assessed value of homes is public information.

[Mad-Margaret]

IIRC, the court did grant his motion as to the addresses. It seemed unnecessary because all the players were represented by local counsel.

[Dukie07]

LOL!

Wasn't Smith engaged to a Greenboro PO?

Oh, yeah.

I'm thinking a woman spurned.

[Alia]

Ping.

All indicators were that this was a female type of crime; adding up all the variables. But still ... the shots earlier, the victim found two hours later at bottom of stairwell, only blood trace is found on the step above her head... "distraught" woman driving away.

I'm thinking Denita was murdered elsewhere.

[Howlin]

I heard she was shot on the landing and fell down the stairs into the area like where you would put a bicycle. Am I wrong?

I'm waiting for the 11 WRAL news.

[Sue Perkick]

I agree. It would explain why the cops didn't find anything when they came out.

[Alia]

I don't think you are wrong. But there would, I think, have been more blood. Maybe they found blood on the landing and we don't know that. And the shots fired two hours earlier were heard at another building. The police searched "over there".

I actually left, and came back on in re the "women scorned" thing. It would have been a classic 'woman scorned' had the murder occurred in Greensboro and with body left on fiance's beat, no?

The murder occurred on a Thursday morning. Was Denita returning to or exiting her apartment, I wonder.

Fiance, a Greensboro Man in the Blue. 911 Dispatcher, Greensboro.

Crime of passion? Premeditated murder?

[Howlin]

If she drove down here, isn't that premeditated?

Mug shot of suspect.

[Alia]

Yes. She drove down to NCCU, Crossings Campus. Watch the usual lawyering suspects and their MSM toadies try to turn this INTO a "crime of passion". You are right: Premeditated (if in fact she is the murderer).

Will she be identified as the "distraught" female driving the burgundy Explorer? Or did police get other information...

[Ken H]

Looks like everyone went here - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1765083/posts

I don't know how long Denita and her fiance were engaged, but I have a feeling that he was playing Crawley on the side and she only recently learned of the engagement.

[Jezebelle]

Yes, assessed valuations are public record in all jurisdictions that I'm aware of, but that doesn't tell you much about the real property value or how the owner came to own the property. If it was acquired through inheritance or a foreclosure sale, it doesn't tell you much about the wealth of the owner. A county recorder's office has a lot more information than an assessor does. A database repository designed to collect the information has much more yet.
