I always try to have as much faith in LE as I can when they’re as quiet as they are in these cases. I try to think of how quickly they arrested Chris watts, Patrick frazee, more recently Riley crossman’s killer. Sometimes their silence is mistaken for lack of knowledge, when there is so much going on behind the scenes that the public is unaware of.
Rumor has it that the guy has been in police and/or FBI custody for about a week. (Hearsay, but it seems a lot of the students and teachers have the same story). Again, it's merely the story that circulating, but they claim one of the school administrators, or former administrators who is married, was having an affair, and she was pregnant and not willing to terminate the pregnancy, so he killed her. [Which makes ZERO sense, and proves what a coward and a monster he is, if it's true].
I don't have any info to corroborate that, but it does appear that there's quite a backstory. I do not think this was a random, unplanned attack at all.
I was frustrated with LE's seeming unwillingness to release the details, as well — but then it dawned on me that this all happened around finals week, and they probably knew the effect it would have on the students, especially the seniors. She was close with a lot of the graduating class, and HS graduation was today. A few others have put forth the theory that because it (allegedly) involves school administrators, it's possible that someone on the School Board has some influence, and didn't want the story to get out.
Regardless of how the details pan out, I hope whoever did this is locked up for life. I think there's bound to be evidence - texts, phone records, emails, etc., once it's all said and done. Students are devastated. Many of them are in college now, and are saying how she was the person who pushed them academically, prompted them to start writing, was their "Mom" at school, etc. It's a devastating loss, for the community, and her family.
