Plain Dealer reporter killed

Body of missing reporter found today. Speculation online as to cause of deaths but nothing to confirm.

Cleveland journalism community in shock. I didn't know her but noticed her articles because they were good and about topics that interested me. Bright future snuffed out.

how was she killed? Why was she killed?

 

Shot while visiting a family member, who is also dead. Unknown who did it as of now.

 

Made it across the pond:

Visit estranged uncle?

She was shot multiple times, the uncle once.

 

Murder-suicide?

 

I have no info. I advanced a couple of facts. People are going to speculate.

If I was an investigative journalist, there would seem to be an obvious line of inquiry I would pursue.

 

Thanks for your contribution.
