I heard about his today from my husband. This woman was out with friends in Corpus Christi, TX, where she was stationed, on Friday. She was apparantly being hit on by some guy, or he was buying her drinks. She left the group at 2:00AM and walked to her nearby home, alone.

She was found murdered the next day. They have arrested the man that she was seen with at the bar.

Ignatowski was killed shortly after walking home from Murdoch's Bar on Airline- just over a block from her apartment. Police believe the suspect followed her home. There were no signs of forced entry at the scene.

How sad.

She was thatclose to home and the creep wouldn't leave her alone, had to kill her.:furious:
Hopefully he will be charged to the fullest degree of the law.
CNN-News aired a good report about this case.

My husband said she had been to aviation training, here where we live, not more than a year ago. There is a flight going out of his station today to come bring her home to MI. They had a memorial for her at her station in TX yesterday. My husband did not know her, but this hits close to home for all of them.

From February 2010:

A man convicted of killing a Coast Guard aviation mechanic cried Friday as jurors sentenced him to 30 years in prison in her death.

Jurors took about five hours to find Micah Spanutius, 23, guilty of strangling Amy Ignatowski to death on May 31, 2008...

He will be eligible for parole in 15 years, his attorney John Gilmore said.
