You have that combo of being Black, murdered, and into the adult industry JMO but I will be surprised if mainstream does touch it again
, personally I think that's about as crappy as it gets but we are in the real world, I was hoping it would be different because ATL 's music scene, but it looks like it wont be.
In the end, the lack of mainstream interest might not matter much.
The mainstream is not going to have any information on it. My guess is that the victim was deep into her hazardous sub culture and that this sub culture comprised her entire world. The murderer, and those who have information about him (or her) are going to be found in this subculture. They are the ones that need to have an interest in the case.
Every working girl in the area needs to be presented with information about the case. Likewise, so do the actors, actresses, production technicians and directors involved in the local pornographic film industry. This effort can then be expanded. For example, such people may favor a certain night club. The employees of that club need to be given information. So do photo agents specializing in sex industry clientel and the employees of boutiques selling stripper clothing.
IMO she was killed by a date or the girl
Possilby, but I doubt it was a date if she was street walking. It is my understanding that street prostitutes loath to undress for their customers as it makes them vulnerable and takes time. Rather, they prefer to perform sex acts that dont require nudity, then quickly move on to the next customer. Even escorts may try to avoid completely undressing and instead give the customer the illusion of nudity.
As she was found naked, my guess is that either the killer (customer) took off her token clothing, or she was with somebody she felt more comfortable with like a boy friend, or adult film actor etc. Though a customer could have removed it, she seems to have worked as an escort, not a street prostitute. That could mean the killer being in a place he was not familiar with (motel room), yet still taking time to remove her body and then remove her clothing. I think this is less likely. Rather, such a killer would have left her at the hotel.
Then again, maybe she agreed to meet him at his residence?
yea, its been mentioned here in this thread (her adult industry occupation) it smacks of some type of jealousy to me too.
I agree. She was apparently found completely naked. That could imply jealousy, or a desire to humiliate her either while she was alive, or to humiliate her corpse.
