That report doesn't surprise me at all -- I never thought that this awfulness had anything to do with drugs on the part of that young woman.
She had just graduated, she was on her way to the community college -- so excited about that new part or her life, and I'm sure her parents were supportive and proud of her. What a waste and a horrible thing.
