It does feel very voyeristic. I'm very sorry for the family's loss, and I hope the police find who did it. He seemed like a nice guy and a loving dad.

Nice guy? Has an affair with a married woman; knocks her up, and let's her cuckolded husband think it is his kid? Then battles his AP to prove paternity.
You call this nice?

police say no threat to the public so why get so fixated on it?

Again, the police called it a homicide and specifically asked the medical examiner not to release details of how he died.

If it was sexual asphyxiation, it would likely not be classified as murder. Why would they not release the manner of death? Something is definitely fishy. This is not an area where murders are very common.

Homicide and murder are not the same.

Please explain the difference between the two.

Would the police call a suicide a homicide?

Homicide is the killing of one person by another person. Murder is criminal homicide. In other words, the justified and/or legal killing of another person is a homicide, but not murder while murder is a subset of homicide.

So if it was a sex act with someone gone wrong, a homicide. Anyway, domestic issue. Not something for nosey neighbors to worry about.

If that is what happened the results from the corner would have been released and there wouldn’t have been dead silence from the police.

I wouldn't assume that they would release anything so soon.

Read the thread. The NBC4 article specifically states the police have instructed that the corner not release the results.

Whoa buddy. You didn't know this man or anything about his situation. I would not leap to such big conclusions about someone you never even met.

Obviously the man loved his kid.

And...that really should be good enough. If there was a threat to the public that would be one thing but it sounds as though the police have an investigative strategy for this.

My heart goes out to that sweet little boy.

Yes. Sounds like they aren't ready to release it. Still doesn't mean there is a threat to you.

Sounds like some kind of freaky, kinky sex accident.

Are the police ever going to announce what the situation here was/is?

Maybe Fairfax Undergroud has updates.

Something like this happened in our apt building (missing woman, body found in a car 2 miles away) in 2010ish

The complex was very concerned, and the police did a community session to answer Qs. Huge turnout. .....and they didn’t answer a single Q about the case. Every answer was, ‘we are withholding that info in order to help the case. The less info we put out there, the more we can track down each lead.’

However, they did relay to us that whatever the case it didn’t seem to be a community concern. They went over some safety tips, and asked those with info to step forward.

When it was all solved and revealed, it wasn’t some serial killer. It was a domestic / love triangle situation.

Actually, I do know one of the parties
