Okay. Then revisit this story from October 22, 2023.
Samantha Woll, age 40, president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Detroit Synagogue was found stabbed to death on her front lawn. The police and civic leaders all quickly said “There is no connection to a motive of terrorism” and said “we realized there has been unease in the community between groups but we do not want this to case any misunderstandings.”
News shows locally had a Muslim leader say he was sorry for her death. Reminded me of the wimpy “We are all together” ads put on TV after 9/11 with a firefighter said to be Lebanese and so on, to promote togetherness.
After weeks of unanswered questions, an arrest has been made. Chief James White said that while other details will remain confidential as the investigation continues, the announcement of the arrest was done out of a “commitment to transparency.”
Police said the 40-year-old returned home from a wedding just after midnight. They believe she was attacked inside her home and that she stumbled outside, where she was found. There were no signs of forced entry at the woman’s home. She was found with her wallet and phone on her, police confirmed.
((Chief Craig said several ways that they still have a lot of work to do and have no further statements to make including details of the suspect.))
This is a terrible case. Thanks for the update.
