Jesus.

 

RIP

Hopefully not work related, but, shit, is it good to think any reason is worse than the other?

 

RIP.

 

RIP.

 

Sarah worked as a freelancer for a couple of publications where I worked. I can't remember meeting her, but she may well have come through the newsroom in Warrenton or Leesburg at some point and I just don't recall it.

Here's an update on the case from the Washington Post:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/killing-of-fauquier-reporter-remains-a-mystery/2012/07/19/gJQAXhG3wW_story.html

For what it is, I thought this was exceptionally well-written.

 

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but the absolute lack of compassion people show in the comments section is awful. Imagine a family member having to read that.

 

You're right, but I have to say the comments about her final Facebook post were pretty true to the mark. One should never, never, never put that kind of info out there on any social medium. May well have cost this poor woman her life.

 

And stuff like this is why I wonder if it's worth it to have Facebook any more. I closed my page last month and have no interest in restoring one.
