Leifheit's second cousin David Goldsborough was arrested in the murder. He didn't like Destiny and went to the home with the intention of murdering her.:furious: This is a 31 year old man goes and murders a child like that?:furious: Because he doesn't like her?

From Filly's link:
"We never had an inkling that David had these psychotic tendencies," said Candice Fusco, who lives with the victim's uncle and grandfather. "We are completely shocked. None of us had any clue about any dislike and there was no reason for it."

Yeah, I bet. The article also says the neighbors weren't surprised at all.

An intense dislike for a 13-year-old from someone more than twice her age? What is this man's maturity level- 5?

Hm, wonder if he tried or wanted to molest her? She had problems last year but turned her life around? Could he have been part of the problem? So sad. Why didn't his parents see problems? He doesn't seem mentally stable at all from what brief info they gave about him.

You asked the question I was going to ask, Malapoo... him being in his 30's and her only 13, really makes one think something more than "dislike" was going on.

This poor little girl. Such a beautiful child.

This freak according to a 19 year old neighbor had shoved or pushed this little girl. The neighbor said "We talked to him about it". Obviously they didn't tune his sorry azz up good enough. Another neighbor said the murderer hated Chico the little Chihuaha (sic) that belonged to Destiny and repeatedly told the guy he was going to kill that dog.

Destiny's mother is now coming from Tennesse as she has been notified of her daughter's murder. Looking at some of the replies/comments on this link neighbors and locals are fuming. A 13 year old baby girl. Her life was just starting.
