Why was any female out cycling at 2am in the morning?
Cycling is not safe after dark fall, let alone 2am., plus young woman out along at that hr of the morning, what was she thinking.
1:00am-3:00am, what (%) of motorists, are under some form of DUI?
Do we have a photo of the area?
I find it incredible that someone can commit murder and then be released. I ride my bicycle at about 4:30am because its the only time I can get my exercise.
Blame the dead woman, Marathon Walker. Maybe she was on her way to work? Who knows? She didn’t deserve to die, regardless.
