What gets into these kids these days?
In this case it was a knife…repeatedly.
Not repeatedly this article Is bullshit.
This isn’t an article. It’s a press release from law enforcement. If you have information to the contrary, please contact them.
They Failed To Mention That She called 911 for help because that’s what they said to do from the last incident and that the phone was ripped out of her hands and thrown down the stairs or that the male was stabbed in the neck with a broken tea cup not just once not twice but 3 times and multiple times in both arms…
Drugs and/or alcohol literally get into them.
This is nothing new. The current homicide rate is not significantly out of line with national rates going back to the 50s. The 70s, 80s, and 90s, saw significantly higher homicide rates
LEO had her… and let her go ? Or is the photo of a previous encounter with LEO ?
It says it is a drivers license photo and a camera photo. Not a booking photo or picture taken by EPD. Perhaps they hadn’t developed enough information at the time to arrest her.
Read it again ? yeah read it again! It’s a photo from a body cam provided by EPD pretty sure E stands for eureka the P stands for police and the D stands for department so yeah they let her go!!
You do understand it’s possible the body worn cam could have been from a previous incident before the homicide even happened right?
Could be from a previous interaction with her. Could be they did not have enough to arrest her. Who knows and does it really matter?
What about the ‘male friend’? Cops looking for him too?
good question, they didn’t mention his name or whether they are also looking for him. sound like they should be.
We don’t know the circumstances, of course, but there could be so many possible situations here. A love triangle, a failed business deal, or something as simple as “Don’t use my stuff” being repeatedly ignored. I remember myself 40 years ago shaking with rage, in an absolute fury with a housemate and seriously struggling with the urge to do physical violence to her. She was a very sick young woman and was literally taunting me to go ahead and hit her. Something I would never do, but nevertheless I grabbed my purse and fled from the house until I cooled off. I think drugs, alcohol and a society that subtly and not so subtly condones violence have moved the goal posts.
Since the US violent crime rate was far higher 40 years ago do you mean we’ve moved the goalposts to a better place?
I told you 15 times to stay out of my corn flakes!!
Thanks for not killing her!
Almost two months to figure out a stabbing death? Two pictures don’t match well? What about the male? Doesn’t pass the smell test…
Maybe the victim merely fell onto the knife multiple times.
What ever happened to that Destinee Rhamy or the boyfriend? searched online and found nothing? Is she still sitting jail? was there a trail? Murderer turned loose? ????
