Preliminary rescheduled for Dec. 4, Keatings atty had dropped out due to conflict, new atty needed more time. Newtons charge was changed to concealing body still class 6. No one has been charged with the actual shooting yet. Previous newsman stated it was Newton (that wasn't in the paper) also confirmed by Keelyn.

The article says she was killed two or three days into a drug party at Keatings House in spotsylvania. Newton and another rummaged through her purse and found her probation officers card with “investigator” written on it. They falsely believed it meant she was an informant, she was shot. Everyone at the party had to put keys and phones together to ensure no one called police or whatever. She was decapitated, her head was found in Birnvenidos home in a cooler. Rest of body put in her trunk, car set on fire. Two of the guys took gun to Washington where it was sold for more drugs. That’s what I got from it- sorry I haven’t figured out how to paste directly from the article.

Thanks a bunch Sunshine! Much appreciated. How horrible....
