I saw this case featured on one of the MSM programs last night. She was an adorable thing. Already a mother of two under 3 yo, she was eight months pregnant. She worked delivering papers early in the a.m., so that she could be home in time for her husband to go to work during the day.
During the Peterson investigation, we learned that murder is the #1 cause of death of a pregnant woman and that usually the SO was the perp. We also learned that the most dangerous time for the woman was during the first trimester and the third trimester.
The reasoning is that during the first trimester the SO may try to cause the baby to abort by beating the woman, or.............if by the hand of a stranger, he didn't know she was pregnant.
It's said that stranger perps usually do not target third trimester women as they're 'bigger' and not as easily taken over.
IMHO, in this case, it does seem as though this may have been an act of random violence,...........her being in the wrong place at the wrong time. From the sound of it, whoever the perp is probably was trying to rob her. At those hours of the morning, there are many people on meth, etc., out and about. They're often times looking for a way to get $$ for a 'hit.'
This is too, too, sad. Just a woman trying to help raise her family, doing her job, and a baby just a month away from taking his first breathe of air, gone in an instant.
JMHO
