So I’m just tuning in here but curious to see if anyone has heard of any new information about this crime or any updates with regard to the status of the criminal investigation?
Like many people have already mentioned in this forum, the lack of communication and transparency across news outlets and police over this local homicide, coupled with zero mentioning of a tragic incident ever occurring on his friends, family, or GF social media posts about SR, seems a bit to.....suspect.
My friend worked with him at the corporate sales job mentioned in reports. A few rumors have circulated that I came across recently but nothing adds up. After multiple google searches later trying to find some sort of indication or recent info that this case is moving along or closed, here I am on this forum looking for some inkling that the investigation is at least moving behind the scene... yet it seems like I’m on the same page as the rest of the commenters.. aka nowhere.
If there was a charge made on a potential suspect(innocent until proven guilty), then that would be considered public knowledge and the public would at least be notified that someone was brought in for questioning or charged without disclosing personal details. However, I haven’t seen a single post that indicates any advancements to the investigation nor have I seen from friends, family, news, etc. a that an investigation is taking place or took place PERIOD.
I don’t know about y’all, but for a cleaned up, good standing (or so it seems on the outside), 24 year old boy with a decent job and clearly a nice apartment that’s described in the above comments, it doesn’t add up to me that SR was found in his Arlington, VA apartment with many “trauma wounds” in upper body, supposedly blood coming out of his hands/ neck, and with first responders at the crime accounting for bleach at the scene. This is a boy that went to Whitlows on Wilson for Thursday’s HH drink specials to hang with preppy coworkers to give you an idea. And If this was a ‘suicide’ (that some people claim) why would SR cover up his own suicide with bleach? .. yeah... unlikely.
Having multiple “upper body wounds” ..aka most likely a brutal attack that’s not disclosed.. doesn't seem like a random impersonal attack to me. It doesn’t seem like this would be done by someone you pissed off in a given moment either. This is a crime of passion. Clearly the murderer had a motive and a plan of attack, proven with the bleach coverup. Also, not surprised that the cameras didn’t work. I bet the attacker had an eye on SR for a while and knew this was the case -whether the attached is from a close connection that’s unbeknownst to the public yet or someone that doesn’t know SR personally but maybe was put up with the task be someone who does. I guess we will never know now but for this tragic story to play out like it did, someone would have needed to know the exact apartment #, how to find it, what floor, location of stairs, how to get in the building in the first place etc.
Also, there is zero mentioning of his phone being located, whether police went through texts, bank accounts, day he was last scene, what SR was planning to do that night, etc. So many questions and so many missing clarifications that seem pivotal to solving this case. My guess would be is that if you followed the money, you’d find the answer... check cash withdraws, venmo charges, PayPal’s, etc. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is an answer there or at least a lead of who he hangs out with, what he was buying, time stamps, locations, etc.
I feel awful for the family, gf, friends. Such a terrible story and I hope this gets resolved for their sake.if anyone has any updates, please share. I’m curious to see if this case is closed or if there is hope for justice.
thx
