Investigators probing what they described as the torturous killing of a 24-year-old transgender man in upstate New York, allegedly at the hands of five people, say they have found no evidence that the homicide was a hate crime.
The remains of the victim, identified as 24-year-old Sam Nordquist of Minnesota, were discovered on Wednesday in a field in Benton, New York, in Yates County, according to Capt. Kelly Swift, a New York State Police investigator.
Swift said investigators suspect that Nordquist was tortured and killed in neighboring Ontario County and moved "in an attempt to conceal a crime."

Not likely in the Empire State but yeah.
Insufficient information. The female victim was subjected to sexual torture by people, some of whom she knew, for what reason? Something to do with drugs? Money? Plain old psychopathy?
It’s NY, could simply be “oh geez we don’t like you today”.
One of the many reasons I dislike living here.
To be fair, it could happen in South Carolina or Idaho, too.
Was this another one of those ultra violent tranny cults? The real FBI should look into this.
Yep, there are clusters of dirtbags everywhere.
In Columbia SC, 5 corners area probably.
I could easily see it happening there.
No evidence of a hate crime = no white, heterosexuals were involved.
I’m kind of slow sometimes.
Was it male or female genetically?
Looks like it was a woman dressed as a man. RIP. Nobody deserves that. Sounds like an online setup.
From another article:
“Nordquist traveled to New York in September to meet his online girlfriend and had purchased a round-trip ticket, his sister Kayla said in a GoFundMe campaign for the family to travel to New York after losing contact with Nordquist”.

I don’t know why this info wasn’t included in this article. Pertinent info.
There are a lot of awful people out there these days.
Female.
Lookimg at that picture of her she sure looks kind of naive. Meeting strangers online is not safe.
From Penn.: “Blue city faces calls for corruption probe in teacher’s ‘suicide’ by 20 stab wounds case”
Sounds like another DEI investigator (Capt. Kelly Swift, a New York State Police investigator.)
The assailants knew the victim. People can behave in a very depraved and sickening way with acquaintances. According to report they were all lgbtq+ etc...and one of the assailants had lived with the victim.
Could it have been a schizo-, drug fueled, rage game?
Did the victim lie or steal from other group members? Reminds me of groupthink toxicity like Jonestown or Heavens Gate groups. Definitely disgusting.
There’s no such thing as a ‘hate crime’ because there’s no way of knowing what’s in a person’s heart when a crime is committed.
People are tried in a court of law for their actions, not for their thoughts, or more specifically, their emotions.
Hate Crime legislation is left wing corruption of the legal system, giving them the authority to punish ‘thought crimes’, which is wildly and incredibly obviously UNCONSTITUTIONAL. This is 1930s NAZI Germany stuff, punishing people for what they think.
All ‘hate crime’ legislation, verdicts and penalties, including incarceration, should be declared to be unconstitutional by both Congress and SCOTUS.
It is left wing vengeance run amok.
DAMN STRAIGHT !!!!!
All LGBetc, so NY authorities decide it is NOT a hate crime? Oy vey :(.
Not my circus not my monkeys.
Could be an older pic....she could be easily suggestible low IQ person....If we think we’re gonna get the inside scoop from the media....forget it. The killers could have tortured and killed her cause they like to hurt weak people.
