Poor thing. RIP mommy & baby

This should be interesting to watch it develop.

Immediate gut - it was a paid "hit"

Reading here has really hit home for me just how sick the world has become. I cannot even begin to fathom how anyone could hurt a pregnant woman. I hope that whoever did this is caught and quick

How very, very sad.

It would seem as if this was someone known to the victim.. the fact that there is nothing missing and no indication that they forced their way in nor any struggle inside... and no gun so it was obviously brought to the scene and removed by the perp. makes me suspicious of those around her like the boyfriend.. andknowing the stats of how many pregnant women are killed by their SO/husbands.. he seems like the the likely suspect here. I wonder why no marriage but dated for 18 years..? and if that committed then why not live together ?

I for once watched NG last night. They were speaking of an old GF of his that was stalking them. They also said a new protective order was issued that day. VERY sad indeed!

The ex-GF sounds like a nut:

Gayle accused Kurowska of sending Reuter and other women he knew harassing letters in May 2006. In November 2006, Gayle accused Kurowska of sending another round of harassing letters to Reuter and others.
Early this week, Gayle's lawyer asked that Kurowska be arrested for sending defamatory e-mails to his friends and business associates, records show. Reached Friday, Kurowska denied the allegations.

Police investigating the slaying of a pregnant Deerfield woman who had been dating former Bears player Shaun Gayle said Saturday they are looking for a teenager seen in the area.

In a statement released this afternoon, Deerfield police said a witness described an African-American male teen with dark curly hair and dark clothing running across the street near the victim's residence shortly after when the shooting is believed to have taken place.

Call me silly, but I think the "ex-girlfriend", Kurowska had something to do with this. Don't know why, the statement she's been "very cooperative" made the hairs on my neck stand up.

Our world is so crazy nowadays that who really knows who killed this poor lady and her unborn baby?

We have home invasion robberies that leave no forced entries. We have seen other murders committed by strangers and there were no forced entries to the homes. We have seen children taken from their own homes with adults inside and they don't even realize they are missing until it is too late and some of those had no forced entries either.

This murder was to have happened around 8am in the morning. She could have easily opened her door to get the morning paper and the perp may have been watching and waiting for her and pushed her back inside without anyone noticing it.

I am getting no ill feeling that Mr. Gayle is a part of this. I wonder if the teenager they are looking for was going to rob her but she protested and he shot her and then ran without taking anything.

imoo

I remember the good old days, where it seemed that a pregnant woman was safe. No one wanted to hurt a woman that was expecting. At least that's what it seemed like.

Our local news made it seam as is if the police thought it was the ex-girlfriend. Gayle grew up here so it made the local news.

How come there has not been a picture posted of Rhoni Reuter? Can someone please post a pic of her?

 

[Lurker]

I really hope this isn't another Ray Carruth type story. Was Gayle still seeing her?

She was a very pretty woman. Such a sad ending.

I hope they identify the teenager running away from the scene. Hopefully they will get a tip.

I clicked on the link but there is no picture of Rhoni Reuter. Only pics of Shaun Gayle on his bike, at the Bears convention, etc.

Pic of Rhoni Reuter?
