Mother found dead in Arlington home

[Anonymous]

I wonder if the kids saw anything? Not the actual murder, but the father coming to the house.

You'd have to be the unluckiest son of a bitch on the planet to have your wife murdered by a random person while she has a restraining order against you. Seriously horrible luck.

^^^^

I realize the circumstances are not the same, but that dude was the obvious suspect for so many reasons...except he didn't do it.

You're right (and I'm impressed with how fast you came up with him!).

But one difference is pretty huge: Gary Condit did not have a history of violent behavior toward Chandra Levy.

I don't know why, but although he was obviously sleazy, I still felt bad for the guy in the end that he really didn't have anything to do with it, yet he lost everything in the process. Unfortunate circumstances and the whole country knew your dirty laundry.

Like I said, yeah he's a sleaze and you can't pity him too much, but seriously, everyone thought he'd done it until they figured out some crazy dude had. Bad luck, Gary.

Yes, I did say not exactly the same. This guy is even more suspicious because of that.

Just saying there is a possibility he didn't do it and it's just incredibly bad luck...

And wasn't there a security guard wrongly accused of the Atlanta Olympic park bombings and someone else wrongly accused initially of the anthrax scare? These things do happen, but rarely. I would assume the neighborhood citizens would want to know if the poor victim had been "targeted" because otherwise there is a random killer on the loose. I live in Alexandria, and this time last year after after those poor two people had been shot in their homes the police was in regular contact with neighborhood organizations to ease our fears.

The husband could have hired someone to do it. It didn't have to be him specifically. Which would better explain the callous disregard for the children's well-being.

Must be some red faces for all of you who had already convicted the husband.

No one here "convicted" him. Read back through the thread.

+1

People speculate about crimes. Its what they do. Get over it, PP.

calling bull shit - the thread, thankfully,went in a different direction. Had it continued on a path, like the original thread about the UVA rape case, the guy would have been skewered without any evidence to suggest he was the one. Just because folks "like" to speculate doesn't make it right and really detracts from the true sadness of this horrific crime.

You're calling bulllshit on what? It sounds like you're saying posters should have a red face because of something that didn't happen on this thread?

I almost hate pointing this out because it seems cold or callous given the suffering of the victim's children, family, friends, etc. ... but stabbing someone to death is a very personal way to kill someone. It requires a lot of direct, violent contact with a victim. Unless a hired killer really took pleasure in killing, this probably isn't the method they'd choose, especially if they wanted the victim's death to look like a random act or like they were a stranger to the victim.

Not that this murder couldn't have been committed by someone hired to do it... I'd just be surprised if that turned out to be the case.

Agree that it looks like the husband did it but don't forget that she worked for the FBI which adds another angle to this tragedy.

I would like to point out that the media convicted these people in the examples above not the police. They investigated each person, but did not bring charges.
