[Brigid]

He wishes to remain anonymous to avoid media attention, but spoke to local paper to tell of victim's courage.

1. wow. what a story. a horrible story. how ugly people can be.

2. Terrible story. Poor woman, she must have been in agony.

3. This is heartbreaking but I'm not shocked

I live in Perry County 1 county away, I moved back a year ago, after living in the South for 17 years, and was sickened by the outright racism in this part of Ohio It was less racist in the South as a matter of fact

4. If someone else was responsible for that woman's death

they need to be brought to justice...

5. someone else?

Are you suggesting that the guy who covered her with a blanket, held her hand, called 9/11 and didn't leave her side, is the murderer?

[Blue_Tires]

6. no...

there are no details, so it is possible the woman burned herself in an accident? Maybe a meth store back in the woods?

EDIT: I do see there was a rope involved, so there probably was someone else...

7. Are you for real?

[Blue_Tires]

9. That was my mistake

I first scanned the piece and thought a badly burned woman found close to a wooded area in central OH, and I instantly thought "tweekers"

8. It was a murder not self-inflicted

10. Just FYI

The woman was white, and a prostitute not that has anything to do with the price of tea in China, or the fact that an innocent was butchered. And yes, she was murdered. Only human beings commit such atrocities against each other. What a piece of work is man indeed.

11. I take a bit of offense at your title,

Having been in the position this man was, taking care of somebody who is horribly mutilated and injured, it isn't a horror show, but rather a labor of love. The horror show would have been if he had passed her by.
