Family: ‘Friends’ torture, kill disabled woman
Six charged in death of 30-year-old whose body was dumped at Pa. school

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."

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.

[sigh] Yes, you said as much about my family in your earlier response.

But my point remains, while yours...remains unclear.

READ MY POSTS
I’ll make this simple as possible:

1) Scripture = God forgives those who seek forgiveness.
2) Scripture = God demands justice (death) for those who murder.
3) I = Believe what Scripture says.

Ergo: I/Scripture = Believe these murderers should get justice (death) for their crimes regardless of God’s forgiveness.

And cool the comments regarding my family being “snuffed”. It would be easy to construe such talk as a threat, and that does not reflect well on the community.
