This is so sad. I glanced over her IG account and she seemed so full of life. A quick google search shows how many people loved her, and seemed to have a very large group of friends who have been quick to comment on how much they care about her and will miss her.
I would guess who ever did this to her possibly had an accomplice, as her car was found in a rural area and would need to get out of there quickly once the car was light on fire. We also don’t know if she spent any time in the car with her attacker. But, if she was kidnapped as the IG post may suggest, I think a solo attacker might have a hard time with this young athletic woman.
looking at this circumstance, I think there’s a few possible scenarios. it may have been either a carjacking, but why kill her if you just want to steal her car. It seems entirely unnecessary and a far worse crime to commit if all you want is a car. Another possibility is a sexual assault and murder. And i think lastly, someone mentally unhinged who murdered her because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is unlikely, because they stole the car and tried to make the car undetectable by burning and removing the VIN.
At this point, I don’t believe there are any leads. Whoever did this tried to remove any evidence by what they did to the car. There has to be surveillance videos and images of some interaction that will hopefully lead to a suspect.
