Prayers for her soul, and for her family and friends.

For all of us who did not know her, I would ask that we be circumspect, when speculating about her murder.

It was either a vicious random crime, or a targeted murder.

It may or may not be related to her work as a reporter. Either way, I hope the killer is caught soon. Chances are her family and friends will be combing the net for information. Let them not find DU type crap at this website.

WHy is this a political issue? I don’t see the relevance to anything.

It was posted under News/Current Events. Completely appropriate. Free Republic is not limited to strictly politics. Other worthy news topics and human interest articles are welcome with few exceptions.

Something similar almost happened to a childhood friend, Leanne Gregg when she was an Anchor in Springfield, MO several years ago. She had returned with her boyfriend to her apartment and the boyfriend was waiting in the living room as Leanne went to the bedroom to change cloths. When she opened the door to her closet, a crazed man jumped out and brutally attacked her! She would in all likelihood have been killed were it not for her boyfriend in the next room who came running.

Thank God her boyfriend was armed with a (legal) hand gun and was able to kill the attacker. Some of you from TN may also remember Leanne from when she used to be a reporter (TV) in Chattanooga. She is now a field reporter for NBC. Her family lived directly across from us growing up in a small West Virginia town and her brother Mike was my best friend as a kid. Here's a Clip of Leanne reporting She appears near the end of the clip.

Leanne was lucky someone was there to help. I hope they catch whoever the slug is who did this to such a beautiful young lady.

Okay, but what makes this murder poll thread more interesting than another?

There are just some things on Free Republic that can't be easily explained.

I guess some of us must care about it.

If you don’t care about it, you don’t have to click the thread.

several days after she didn’t answer her wake-up call

So after that attack, she was left all alone??? no friends or family/a nurse around her, just a wakeup call?? thats crazy in itself, the whole thing is sad but i dont get how she’d be totally unattended after a crime like that, hope they catch the perp soon.

??????....She wasn’t “left unattended” after the crime. She was essentially beaten to death and it took a few days for the crime to be discovered because she lived alone.

No. Her mom called her every morning.

Emergency services were there within the hour.

THAT was several days ago.

Typical bad/ambiguous news reporting.
