Yes, exactly.
I wouldn't have any trouble visualizing a scenario where she went to a party with somebody who picked her up, then turned down somebody like Huguely
and had him follow her and kill her, but that wouldn't exactly be a stranger situation.
Esp. if MH was already with someone else, H would not likely be enraged to the point of murder over a rejection from a woman whom he did not know ...
More likely MH tagged along with some group, the group was doing crack & booze, one thing led to another, and then they ended up killing her.
(BTW: Just using "H" for the alleged killer because "GH" is MH's mother. )
The one thing that bothers me is the report that he had Love's bloody t-shirt with him. Keeping a souvenir like that after a quasi-domestic incident isn't the usual thing, is it?
If H is guilty of involvement in both crimes, more likely he participated in the murder and/or cover-up of the murder of MH, then YL may have suspected this fact, or maybe she just "knew too much."
Crimes of passion typically get lesser sentences than the cold-blooded killing of a potential witness to a murder investigation would. Were H & YL actually that romantically involved with each other?
Maybe the group put H up to take the fall. That's why he waived his Miranda rights. He wanted to cut the investigation short.
Maybe more than one person participated in the murder of YL; the DNA will hopefully reveal that information.
However, if H's killing of YL is a
genuine "crime of passion," then any connection to MH's murder is highly unlikely.
Is there any news link to the story about YL's tee shirt?
