They have not been able to locate her car.

She just met him that night and gave him a ride home. They were both found at his home shot to death. Double murder? Murder suicide? Was it her ex? His ex? There was no robbery and no forced entry.

Mods please change title to Man and woman murdered in Newport Beach. They were not a couple and it wasn’t in Costa Mesa. There’s also nothing saying the apartment was locked.

Her car was still missing as of this morning.

Hmm, wonder if there is anything to this angle.

ETA: Can't imagine so but worth a thought for a minute.

This is so perplexing!

 

[WhatDidYouDo]

A lot of people in my abuse survivors community are mourning her as a warrior against cluster personality disordered/narcissistic parents who continue to abuse through the court system. I don't know her or her back story but those that do are not surprised by the murder and believe that the man responsible is obvious. And the other gentleman that lost his life was just wrong place/wrong time

WHO would that be?

Turns out the "obvious" man responsible for the 2 deaths, was a completely random burglar. Little consolation that her work had nothing to do with her death. It's still sad since the work she was doing is important, and they both sounded like decent people who were well liked.

 

[WhatDidYouDo]

was someone arrested overnight? I haven't caught up yet.
