My youngest son's Godmother was murdered while she was at work almost three years ago.  She was a pediatrician in Austin and is sorely missed!

I think I remember seeing that on the news...was that the hostage situation?

Would assume so.

There was a girl at another school, who a friend of mine dated for a while.  She and I also had another friend in common.  She and her mother were murdered by her father at their home when we all were freshmen in high school.  Just before it happened, as the story I heard goes, she was on the phone with that friend-in-common and said, "Hey, I've got to go, my dad says he has a surprise for me."

 

I still get chills thinking about how that phone conversation ended.

 

My sister was friends with Elena Semander, whose dad was my precal teacher in high school.  She was murdered by Coral Eugene Watts in 1982.

Yes it was. Hostage taker / murderer was another pediatrician (retired) who had been diagnosed with cancer.

I have some Uvalde connections.

Besides the recent obvious ones, there's also Joey Del Toro. Drove to Florida and killed that mom with her quadruplets in the house.

Was nice guy, but dumb.

Well the last I checked I wasn’t posting the story in CR so figured we could stay on topic. But you are right that’s my fault I should know better.

None taken and I agree. The ironic thing is we were military police and very well trained on the use of force and she should have known what was going to happen. I think it speaks to the power of the cultish brainwashing by maga.

I tend to think she was maybe murdered for her belief in her white privilege... she was probably, actuality killed for her lack of self awareness of her actions,  thinking that they wouldn't shoot her,  a white woman who had served her country...

 

Of course,  she was wrong

I might have mentioned this in the thread on the old site:

Back in the early 90s pre-internet days when you actually needed a phone number to use your 1200 baud modem to dial into a BBS, I would chat or play text-based games with a bunch of anonymous people (maybe 20 at a time, max) and flirt with several ladies. I was in my early 20's fresh out of the Air Force. One particular young woman took a horny liking to me and wanted me to come to a party one of the guys was throwing at his apt off 51st street for that BBS' users. I went, met a bunch of people including the guy, met the chick and eventually left with her and fucked her. There were a few other get-togethers to play pool or whatever, and I hooked up with that chick several times.

The guy who had the party at his apt? James Noer, the guy who killed the Red Rose dancer in 1991-92.

I graduated HS with Brooke, her mom lived in Lompoc and her dad lives here in our hometown still. I guess she'd go back and forth often enough to be considered a resident of both places. I would see her around town and actually saw her about a month ago and we talked for a minute. Very talented athlete when we were in school and a natural beauty. Sometime after college she got into drugs pretty heavy and was in some pretty bad relationships. Anyway, small town gossip is that her mom was trying to force her into rehab and they got into a fight.

Spoiler

The woman killed in a Vandenberg Village homicide over the weekend was the mother of the suspect arrested in the case, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office revealed on Monday. 

Denise Ann Carter, 71, was found dead inside a residence in the unincorporated community near Lompoc, said Raquel Zick, sheriff’s public information officer. 

Sheriff’s deputies responded at approximately 6:45 a.m. Saturday to the area of Sami Lane and Khouri Circle for a report of suspicious circumstances.

They discovered Carter dead inside a residence on Khouri Circle, Zick said. 

Detectives identified and arrested Brooke M. Carter, 46, of Lompoc and Oklahoma in connection with the killing.

The suspect is the victim’s daughter, Zick added.

The cause and manner of death and possible motive were not released by the Sheriff’s Office.

Carter was booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail, where she remained Monday night, with bail set at $2 million.

I hung out with this guy a few times.   He was a different cat back then and I wasn't surprised when he got busted on his trip.
