GREENSBURG, Pa. - Jennifer Daugherty's mom and stepdad didn't press for details when she mentioned she had made some new friends. The 30-year-old had the mental abilities of an adolescent but wasn't the kind to get in trouble, and she was even thinking about getting her own place soon.
Police found her body Friday stuffed into a garbage can in a school parking lot; they say she had been forced to consume detergent and urine and to write a fake suicide note before she was fatally stabbed by attackers who also shaved her head and painted her face with nail polish. Six suspects have been charged, including her new "friends."
**SNIP**
Police say she was beaten with a towel rack, vacuum cleaner hose and a crutch, and her body bound with Christmas decorations, an affidavit said. Police said she was fed vegetable oil, medications and spices in addition to soap and urine.
She was stabbed multiple times with an unknown weapon in the neck, chest and head, Westmoreland County Coroner Kenneth Bacha said. Authorities said they found the victim's belongings in the building's attic, as well as items that had been used to clean up blood.

Six people were charged with criminal homicide, kidnapping and other counts: Robert Loren Masters Jr., 36, Ricky Smyrnes, 23, Melvin Knight, 20, Amber Meidinger, 20, and Angela Marinucci, 17, all of Greensburg; and Peggy Darlene Miller, 27, of Mount Pleasant Township. All were being held without bond in the Westmoreland County prison. Prosecutors didn't know whether any of them had attorneys.

I am beyond appalled that these types of predators walk amongst us.
Death penalty. And not an easy death for the lot of them, either.
They deserve to meet the exact same fate.
But they aren’t animals.
They are people.
Animals don’t behave this way, they are more civilized.
We had a case like this here in New Jersey a few years ago. Same modus operendi only thankfully the victim wasn’t killed. The poor soul did suffer terrible abuse from people he thought were his ‘’friends’’. The perps were all like the suspects pictured here. The shallow -end of the gene pool types. This poor young woman. Mercifully she is now beyond pain and is being cared for by The Virgin Mary, Mother to all children. As to the perps, well, use your imagination. Mine is diabolical.
Animals are more civilized.
They don’t even kill to eat
if they’re not hungry.
They dont even kill to eat if theyre not hungry.
Oops, that doesn't read right. But you know what I mean, I hope.
I’m with you on that one.
Manson Revisited......X-terminate them ASAP
They need to be shot through the head and dumped in the nearest landfill.Leave them for the rats and buzzards.
They are going to love the new friends they meet in the slammer.

The first guy Robert Masters, looks like he is pure evil. The others look like retards.
Pure and unadulterated evil.
You are so right.
Evil exists in people, not all people certainly, but in some there is something truly wicked.
you are correct! I hope u don’t get nailed for saying retard!!!
but I know what you mean....the human race is so strange......good thing we've got a loving and forgiving Father.....
You can clearly see the evil in the face of Masters.
Interesting name as well.
I would be interested to know if Masters is the “ring leader” of this group.
