Coming to a network crime drama series near you in the next few weeks.

A troubling story ... I wish she had told her sister more about the nature of the problem.

According to the Ledger, Durkin was openly gay, but her family does not think her sexual orientation had anything to do with her death. Earlier newspaper reports indicated that the Durkin family said she may have been a target because she was gay.

Because to newspaper editors everything is a hate crime. Why not consider that she was killed in Afghanistan because she was an American Christian?

Also, if she was in a finance group, she may have become aware of some corruption (not necessarily US).

It can be very dangerous to know too much in this part of the world.

If you discover irregularities, it's best to wait until you're home for good before you take any real action.

Why did you feel the need to alter the headline?

'If anything happens to me, you guys make sure it gets investigated,'

When I was a messcook, I heard that line plenty of times. Especially on "Mystery Meat Thursday".

Will this story be on Greta tonight?

Well, maybe not. Specialist Durkin was not a young, long-haired blond.

On the other hand, the story has murder, feminism, sex and a beret as components.

Ah, so many decisions Greta's producers have to make.....to go with it or not.

BTW, Greta looked tired and worn-out last night. This last crucial trip to the sandy shores of Aruba must have been too much.

It is sad to hear of any death of a soldier. Blessings to the family of Specialist Durkin and hope that the killer is found and brought to justice. I also hope that her concerns are investigated and any involved in corruption are brought to justice.

It is good to hear that the family has said that reports that focused on issues outside of her service assignment are not the issue in her death. It shows a loving family concerned that their loved ones wishes are followed in matters that the young soldier was dedicated to support.
