This whole thing is confusing. Did the son kill the mother? Earlier I had read that it was someone else who did it, and the person who tried to help her was chased into an oncoming train. In that version, the perp got away.

Interestingly, published reports have thus far revealed the identity of the beheaded victim as Patricia Ward, a beloved professor. No mention is made of the identity of her son...yet.

• Farmingdale.edu has the victim listed as Patricia Ward, Assistant Professor

  According to number2name.com, her address (one of three found online) is different from the location of the murder/suicide:

• 130 Secatogue Ave. Farmingdale NY:

  Example A: 9 Reese Pl Farmingdale NY, 11735 2.04 miles from murder scene

  ZabaSearch has two additional addresses for her (all share same phone number):

  Example B: 17 Paula Dr Farmingdale, NY 11735 1.97 miles from murder scene

  Example C: 90 Crestwood Blvd Farmingdale, NY 11735 1.73 miles from murder scene

  Begs the question(s):

• Why was she at the Secatogue Avenue location?
• Why was her son there?
• If neither she or her son reside at that location, is someone else involved after all?
