Yes. I friggin CAN NOT BELIEVE that people are looking to publicize the victim's name. WTF is wrong with you people?

wah wah wah. Now go make a essential toiletries basket to be sent to Japan. What? you hadn't thought of that? I thought for sure given your superior character and empathy you'd be leading a team of disaster relief workers. Yet you're not. (neither am I).

give it a rest, o holy morally superior PPs. and go make a donation to the Red Cross so big it hurts your pocketbook this month. Or don't, and shut your sanctimonious pie hole.

I have read this blog and another one and it was said that the one that was murdered was murdered with a box cutter and a hammer. That tells me that the murderers did not come in with the intent to murder. I would imagine that they found those tools in the store! A box cutter would be used for unpacking merchandise. I still think it was a set up and that she recognized the criminals and that is why they murdered her! Until I hear differently I think I am stuck here. I think that it didn't go as planned and that more than likely it was a big cash week. I guess we will find out....hopefully sooner than later.

My god, you are an idiot. She is anonymous because the police and media DO NOT RELEASE THE NAMES of individuals of have been sexually assaulted. There may be other reasons for her anonymity, but that's the only one we (and you) know for sure.

God, you speculators are sickening, disgusting wrecks of human beings.

Console yourself thinking that the families shouldn't be googling for this stuff if it helps you sleep at night. If something so horrifying had happened to my sister, cousin, niece or acquaintance I would google. Most people would google. You may be CERTAIN that her family knows that the drooling public is condemning the victim, who they don't know, as complicit in this crime. And be certain that you've made the families feel worse by participating in that.

Give yourself a gold star; you're an empty human being.

STAY OFF THE SITE THEN! ENOUGH name calling! You so called self righteuous people are the ones calling names!

Because nothing is getting through to you at-home detectives that putting out crap on the internet about crime victims being involved in the commission of their own rape and/or murder is a shitty and disrespectful thing to do. Do you have the right to do it? Sure, but that doesn't mean that you don't suck as a person for doing it.

People let's go back to civility here. I am actually looking at this thread for information and discussion. OK, this sounds pathetic but I get some of my best news and links on this site. Thanks J Steele!

Well I hope that you enjoy getting through your life by calling people names and making fun of them for thinking through situations. If you ask me YOU ARE the VOLATILE one on this site. Enjoy your day screaming at others...you are obviously miserable.

I have yet to see any justification for people wanting to publicize the victim's name.

Justification for the speculation, yes. I am the PP who said I don't have a problem with the speculation, but I have a major problem with people wanting to dig around and publicize her name.

Still waiting for a valid reason on that one.

Oh, and go ahead and keep thinking that because I am not making an aide box for Japan, that gives you the justification for your gossip-mongering desire to publicize the name of the victim. There is no other reason one would need to know her name.

There is plenty of need to speculate, wrap our heads around this, etc. But gossip is the only possible reason people would want to so badly publicize her name despite the fact that it could have disasterous effects on the victim, whether emotional or physical.

[Anonymous]

Oh, because you are the final judge on all things that are posted on the board?

Those of you losing your shit may want to slowly back away from the computer now, darlings.

I was very close to someone who died in a very public way and it is true that his loved ones, including me, could not stop googling the situation. There were speculative articles and blogs set up just to discuss what happened and we all became obsessed with googling because we all wanted answers just like everyone else. I will say that when something beyond terrible like this happens, there is not much anyone can say that will make it better or worse. You can't get any worse than it already is for the loved ones. Nothing will change that. I do not think it is disrespectful to try to find some answers.

There is NOTHING wrong with speculation on a reality! People speculate everyday! And through our speculations anyone that might be working on this case may hear something that opens up a new possibility in breaking this case! Everyone on this site has questions. I for one live and work in that neighborhood and as a result I am extremely curious to know what happened for quite a few reasons. One is for safety reasons as I and my family frequent that neighborhood on a daily basis! I certainly am concerned about the better welfare of everyone involved not only the crime victims but anyone that works in that store in the future and any store in that neighborhood.
There are many things about this crime that don't add up and so therefore the speculation is actually giving rise to more information that may or may not change my thinking but even if it doesn't I have more facts! For instance they didn't lock up until 9:45 which makes coming back at 10 much more reasonable! Although I still find it questionable that these 2 men had gloves and masks to rob the Apple Store. Something is missing. And there are NO coincidences....so the fact that they showed up at the same time is strange!

Of course there are coincidences. That's why the word exists.

Keep waiting because there is none.

13:13, have you never heard the term "crime of opportunity"?

Hate to break it to you, but there are coincidences. Happens all the time.

As for the speculators who'd like to think one of the victims was in on it: you're grasping for something to make the victim NOT THE SAME AS YOU. If the victims were not complicit, but just nice law abiding women engaged in mundane daily activities, well then - that means that you too could be brutally beaten, raped, tortured, murdered - all because you forgot your cell phone or ran out to help a friend with something that seemed perfectly safe.

Guess what? It could have been you.

It's crazy that everything can feel so normal and safe one minute and be completely devastated the next. I hope the police catch the horrific people who did this.

how do you know this is the victim?

It's not the victim in the video. The posting account is the victim's. See the other videos under the account, which are linked to by the Washington Post and contain messages of condolence.

My point was, it's horrible that this can happen in a place you feel safe.
