It seems like there are a lot of murder reports from Richmond. It is just media hype, or is the city's rate much higher than the national average?
You might want to ask the Mods to change the date of your article.
2006...2006...2006
I'll have to remember that when writing out checks later today.

I'll be forgetting for at least the next month. :)
Or else he escaped.
My HTML skills have just gone teeets up as of the last year or so. All that to say, I forgot how to be really snazzy and hide the entire link info...so sue me when I do this:

...but it's the heart that counts.
Am I becoming biased (more biased?) or does this already tell us something important about the potential list of suspects?
What neighborhood was this in?
I always just copy and paste from the article. easier that way.
Like?
It's been a muslim specialty in recent current events, though they certainly don't have the market cornered.
I guess I must be a bad person. That was my first thought, too...
Woodland Heights:
According to investigators, the friend arrived at the Harveys' West 31st Street home about 10 a.m. Sunday with her daughter to drop off the Harveys' elder daughter Stella.The two girls had spent the night in another part of the city with friends from Fox Elementary School.
As they stepped inside, Stella ran ahead and went down to the Harveys' basement family room.
The mother and daughter were met inside the house by Kathryn Harvey, who had just come upstairs.
According to investigators, she appeared ashen and nervous.
The woman asked whether Harvey was OK. She replied that she didn't feel well and might be getting sick.
Not wanting to intrude, the mother and her daughter said goodbye and left, not realizing they may have been the last people outside the home to see Kathryn and Stella Harvey alive.
Less than four hours later, at 1:46 p.m., firefighters responding to a 911 call of a blaze at the home looked in the basement and found the bodies of Bryan Harvey, 49, Kathryn Harvey, 39, and their daughters, Stella, 9, and Ruby, 4. All had been murdered -- bound with tape and their throats cut.
A fire had been set in the basement, producing heavy smoke. A Harvey family friend, Johnny Hott, encountered the smoke when he and his daughter arrived about 1:40 p.m. to help the family prepare for a 2 o'clock New Year's Day cookout.
The family that slays together...
That's not right. All FOUR were bound.
Why didn't the mom warn off the kids? Not fast enough thinking on her feet I guess.
Damm. Just damm.
Oh my.
It's a horrible crime. From all reports, the family was a beautiful, loving one. All were beloved in the community.
I hope Richmond cops and VA state police have gotten better at solving crimes since the murders in '97 of all those schoolgirls, by a serial killer. They botched up that investigation badly. And the Richmond crime lab screwed up all the DNA tests and other forensics. Those responsible were fired from the lab.
That serial killer, Richard Marc Evonitz, committed suicide as cops closed in on him.
From your keyboard to God's eyes.
That they are people with knives, was my first thought on reading your post. I see that you mean muslims, which did not cross my mind, so we'll see how the story develops.
