How traumatising for the daughter to not only lose her mother under these circumstances but to be there to witness it herself. It's shocking that there isn't much online about it. I'm in the UK so certain links won't work for me.

I wonder if at the time she had any sort of connection/relationship with someone Hispanic/matches the suspect description. Someone from her her work, dating etc.

Also what the relationship was like at the time with her daughter's father. From what I've read Peggy lived alone with Allysa and I haven't seen any mention of her father. AMO.
