Prayers for Anne and her family.

Heart felt sadness for the loss of this bright young woman who had so much left to do. What a loss to us all. I pray they are able to find the person who did this and bring them to justice.

Dear Lord,

Take this child of Yours into Your arms, tonight. Comfort those who are hurting and missing her at this time. She was a wonderfully and fearfully made creation of Yours and will not be forgotten. May the loved ones be rejoined, again, with her when it is Your will.

Amen.

the paranoia is unbelievable (and embarrassing)

Please don't cloud her death with that crap.

They have said from the beginning she was ‘critically’ wounded.

I am thinking the same thing. Jilted lover, stalker, someone who knew her, saw her in the movie "W" and went crazy with jealousy at her budding fame. Burglars burgle when no one is home, they usually don't smash a woman's face in.

Taking the entire purse is a too-obvious ploy at making it look like burglary. A burglar would have taken any valuables in the house and only the valuables from the purse. Why risk getting caught with a handbag full of your victim's ID?

Did you have to?

With all the rest of the crazy, paranoid, conspirisy theory stuff getting thrown around, did you have to attempt to add this one to the list? Can we not sully this young woman’s untimely death with it?

Amazing.

My sympathies go out to her family, indeed. I just hope LE jumps on this quickly. Any and all leads are needed, including all circumstances of her work, I’m sure.

This is so tragic and sad. Prayers are being sent out for this family

Has there been any more information about who may have used her credit card later that night? I had read that the location where it was used had security cameras. Hopefully the evil person who did this to that poor woman will be found and brought to justice.
