Well, these detectives here, who are real experts at handling homicide cases are like all of the other around the country to tell you, first 48 hours, really the key to catching killers and closing cases, but now, we are in hour 49 since the murder victims body was found, and this is really, really tying up their mind right now, because not only do they not know who killed her, they dont know why even. So, usually, you know the motive in a murder, but in this case, still no obvious motive. So no for sure direction for detectives to take meaning, yes, still likely, and possible, that it was someone she encountered at random, wrong place, wrong time, casino of scenario, women power walking alone in the dark. But, also, possible, that someone she may have known. Yes, her phone is still missing, but with would somebody killer to cover up for cell phone robbery . Thats usually doubtful. So the cell phone turnoff by who ever took it at 93 only half hour after Connie Murray left her home in northeast philly to go exercise. So unless she did it herself or just ran out of battery juice, both doubtful, who ever killed her, did soon after, and she left her home, and probably shut the phone off, knowing that they could be tracked and traced to them, and that is what is causing the quan dray for police here. The only thing she did have on her was her cell phone. And she had some headphones. Neither one of them were at the scene. However, the scene is very densely populated, so we still have detectives, and we also are going to have uniform out there taking a look to see possibly during the struggle, is it there. But there is a possibility that it was taken berks we dont know as of yet. People should be cautious, run in pairs, if you can walk, walk in pairs. Whether this turns the to be a homicide, heart attack, whatever it is, people should always take precautions. Obviously killer in the area, we will do everything we can to find him, bring him to justice. But for right now. My message would be that if youre running late at night, always have somebody accompanied with you. If you dont have to run at night, dont run at night. Run during the day. They know for sure a murder right now, autopsy toll them confirmed case of strange list, also told them it was not a case of rape. That doesnt always mean that that wasnt the initial reason somebody may have attack her, and could have been as scared off before they got the chance, or the opportunity to finish what they started. Now, police say kill did he put dna in, if to see if it matches any other crimes, killings, rapes, not just here, but that will come around the country. Remember they caught a guy who did commit a rape in penny park park in indianna once, thats how that data base works, hopefully will work against in this case. Absolutely. Steve, thanks.
