$5,000. Reward Offered For Information On 92 yr.old Leesburg Woman's Death
http://www.wftv.com/news/local/5k-r...t-92-year-old-leesburg-womans-death/492872888

This link says Rubye would feed strangers for help around her house,I wonder if this is what led to her being killed.
From Strawberry's video the people who lived in the house near where her remains were found would help her with work.I think it said 5 miles from her home.Lake Co. is very rural,you can bury a body anywhere.Why bury her by this house?

Perp walk video.

'I loved that woman,' says suspect in death of 92-year-old Leesburg woman

Krystopher Laws, 21, and Joshua McClellan, 19, were arrested about 6:30 p.m. on charges of first-degree murder and robbery.

As McClellan was being booked into jail, he said he did not kill Rubye Harrison James, that he just wanted cash for pot, and that he didn't know it was her car. He also said that he loved her.

Laws did not speak to reporters.

RIP Miss Rubye

Just heinous. This poor woman lived 92 years, saw things that we whippersnappers will never know, and was exterminated by two young men at the start of their lives. For pot money. Sheesh.

That's just despicable. What cowards!

May Rubye rest in peace.

"That" woman had a name. "That" woman showed you kindness. "That" woman was your elder and deserved your respect and admiration Mr. McClellan. Her name was Rubye James.

"so sad I can't bring myself to cry. I just can't do it."

Ummm, I pretty sure I've cried over dead cats and dogs, some I never knew that I saw dead beside the road. And yet, YOUR NEIGHBOR, and you don't cry??
She's in a better place, and won't be hungry? Do WHAT?

Oh Rubye James, you lived 92yrs and avoided evil murderers. There's nothing you could have done for anyone to inflict this death sentence. I just can't believe people thinking they have the right to take away a life, and for a mere few dollars? What has the world become??

May your spirit fly free. May your presence on this Earth not be forgotten.

I wonder if the dear lady had any family nearby or living? In my area, I'm seeing more and more elderly with no family nearby, and no way caring or checking in on them. I had one live with me for 8 yrs because even though she had family, none would help her. None would take her to doc appts, or call daily to check on her. I just don't understand this lack of human compassion! Where in the heck is our respect for the elderly?? *sigh* How I wish I was in great health, and had lots of money to take in all that need someone to care about them.
