SUPER dis-like. "He was widely celebrated as the first American to win the New York race since 1982. Having immigrated to the United States at age 12, he is an American citizen and a product of American distance running programs at the youth, college and professional levels. But, some said, because he was born in Eritrea, he is not really an American runner."

Perry Accused of Stalling Investigation into Wrongful Execution | NBC Dallas-Fort Worth - http://www.nbcdfw.com/news...

http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2009... - "The chairman was replaced by a DA named John Bradley, "one of the most conservative, hard-line prosecutors in Texas," who /never heard of the position/ until Perry offered it to him on Wednesday."
- Andrew C
I wish this would get more media coverage.
- niniane
Perry is trying to shore up the hardcore base before his primary with Kay Bailey Hutchison. I'm sure no one will mind a little cover-up in the process.

Well, it's not like anybody died... =P No, seriously, this should be national news, not just Texan news. Is it?

The New Yorker article a few weeks back about this case is really fascinating
- Jennie Lin
There is very little coverage of it compared to coverage of David Letterman's extortion / coworker-shagging scandal, or the alleged Safe School czar issue from decades ago that now may turn out to be moot. There should be a lot more coverage of it! This is an actual life-and-death situation that affects a state election.
- niniane
Everyone can imagine workplace affairs, so they're interesting. Most people have never visited a true prison (I haven't), so they're distant. There should be a lot more coverage of this!

I think everyone can imagine an execution though (there are many movie scenes of them). And everyone can imagine a corrupt governor who wants to cover-up a potential scandal before an election.

Fatal Stabbing of East Harlem Resident, 21, May Have Stemmed From Mistaken Identity - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
Such a heartbreaking story. Captain of the robotics team at a NYC public school, surprising everyone by going to the national competition. Third youngest of nine siblings, taking care of a younger brother with Down syndrome after his mother died a few years ago. Applying to college while attending CC and volunteering at his high school. Stabbed to death on Saturday night. Too many young people are still dying unnecessarily in New York City.

It's disturbing how little they seem to know about what happened, but perhaps they just aren't telling reporters.

How tragic.
- Anne Bouey
@Bret - I think they're still in the 'gathering evidence' phase of things. The article on CNN mentioned that they have a great deal of physical evidence from her lab that they have to go through, as well as whatever they're retrieving from the waste processing plant. It's so sad that it turned out this way.

The killing is sad enough but the fact that it happened on her wedding night is just horrific.
- Spidra Webster
O, I have been monitoring this but but this is first I heard of her murder. Prayer for her parents and betrothed. deep Sadness
- Melanie Reed
@Spidra: the reference to the 'wedding night' is that the day that her body was found is *supposed* to be her wedding night, had she not been missing. The act of murder itself IMO happened several days prior. Of course she went missing so there was no wedding.

from fftogo
@LAG, her body was found in the crawlspace behind the wallboards, i.e., the space used for cables, plumbing, etc.
- Pandu ● IT Optimizer
from fftogo
It sounds like she got a call from someone she knew associated with the lab (she left her purse , ID and cell in another building). Someone close or or someone she had worked with? She was aware of taking care of herself (she wrote an article on protection and being safe in the city), so why would she leave her cell unless she knew and trusted who ever she was last with?
- Melanie Reed
now, a personal dilemma for me: I think this news is important; but I can't bring myself to 'like' this... What to do? That said, condolences & prayers to her family and her fiancé.
- Pandu ● IT Optimizer
from fftogo
Or it could be that this call unnerved her and she rushed over to the lab without thinking. Whatever it was, to help or in anxiousness, she broke a habit.
- Melanie Reed
@Pandu as long as you comment on it, the story gets moved to the top of FF and more people can see it. That helps a lot. I want to share my condolences & prayers to her family and loved ones too.

Probably someone she rejected who couldn't handle the fact she was getting married. Proabably a guy who she considered 'a friend', but felt much stronger for her. He confessed his love there in the lab, she rejected his final plea and he killed her. That's pretty much the way I see it going down. Guys can be nuts like that over women.
- Vince DeGeorge
from iPhone
My thoughts exactly, Vince. Had to be someone she worked with.
- Ginger Makela Riker
Vince, yeah, I think that should be considered. It was either because she was too smart (jealousy) or too loved (jealousy). Or there could be a third reason because of something we don't know about something that she may have been involved in that threatened her future that is an unknown. The killer was not very smart about hiding her body. If they were, they would have taken the time...

Now, the picture I saw was of her outside the building in the daylight. How could you kill someone with wounds that would obviously cause crying out in pain and no one in that building or in an office nearby not hear it? Someone had to see something or hear something. Was the office completely empty?

One other thing strikes me as strange: They were in a lab. She was a pharmacology student. It took 3 levels of security to get in there: "He said it took three levels of security to get into the basement of the lab building on Amistad Street, including two swipes of a security card." This seems another indication that lends itself to someone she knew and that it was a crime of passion...

Here's a meta-post http://ff.im/7ZvND I'm been following this story for the past few days. I used to work in biochem labs, so it's pretty spooky. (1) Animal rights activist? Jealous/unhinged guy who's a staff member? Stolen security card? (2) Early on I heard mention that she went in the building with a guy...but haven't seen that since. (3) She walks from/to her office & this lab...

"We're not believing it's a random act," said officer Joe Avery, a police spokesman. No one else is in danger, he said, though he would not provide details other than to say that police believe no other students were involved. He also denied reports that police had a suspect in custody. Several news organizations reported that police were interviewing a possible suspect who failed a polygraph test and has defensive wounds on his body. Avery denied those reports."
- Melanie Reed
The problem is the relationship to the killer. How long and how close? Why didn't he/she do this where she lived? Why in a public lab?
- Melanie Reed
Creepy stuff. Only students and staff allowed in the building. There is a real creep on campus.
- PJ Edwards
I think a phone call can be ruled out IF this was a routine day for her. On one article it states that she could be seen with a cart going back and forth with the lab mice. The lab mice are located in the basement where her body was: "The body was found in the basement in the wall chase — a deep recess where utilities and cables run between floors. The basement houses rodents, mostly...

It's possible if the scenario above is true that she might not have even known the killer that well at all. Perhaps the killer was already there and was doing something that was wrong and she threatened to report them. Then they killed her and stuffed her in the most immediate and convenient place.

"The story behind Ms. Stevens’s dramatic rise from nowhere to the top echelon of an international sport isn’t the usual cliché of hard work, sacrifice and perseverance. In fact, if there’s a lesson aspiring athletes can take from this, it’s that it helps to be blessed with very good genes. The truth is that Ms. Stevens is one in a million: She was lucky enough to stumble into the exact pursuit she was born for."

I've always wondered what it would be like if Michael Phelps had never entered a pool, if Earl had pushed Tiger into track and if Federer and Nadal had taken up soccer instead. In a much lesser way, I think it's what we all hope for, that we stumble into the exact thing we were born to do.
