Snipped:

At a press conference Wednesday afternoon, Auburn Police said a body found off Dunning Avenue matches the description of Katie Socci, who was reported missing early Wednesday.

So sad and senseless....

"

This article also mentions that they have a "person of interest" who knew Katie...

Don't they say that in the majority of murder cases, the Victim and the Perp know one another somehow? Like they went to school with them, lived across the street from them etc?

Socci was a nurse in the surgical intensive care unit at Upstate University Hospital.

On Monday night she told her next door neighbor, Linda Diel, that she was afraid of her former boyfriend. “She said I’m a little afraid. He took my cell phone,” Diel said Socci told her.

As they traded cell phone numbers for Socci’s new phone, Socci said “if you ever see anything, or see him around, I want you to call. I said I will,” Diel said.

Lots more info on about her ex-boyfriend (father of her baby):

Great article, thank you. Poor baby girl, she will never know her mom. I hope she has a very caring and loving family that will do her mom justice.

I hope the perp rots in jail.

Lastly, I doubt a restraining order would have prevented what happened.

RIP Katie.

Great coverage gang - keep it up. It's amazing they resolved this case even before it was a fully developed case. Perhaps LE had enough background info on the POI to warrant moving quickly in the right direction.

I agree. I was just thinking today, why can't these people LOVE their children more than they HATE their spouse/partner etc.

If he is in fact guilty, then what sick individual to cause a baby to be alone by itself in the house like that, and to kill its mother, especially when it's his own kid. Epic facepalm.

This is why the neighbor was alert and called police - because Katie had told her that she feared him, and that she was getting a protective order out against him. Makes sense now - I couldn't figure out why a neighbor would call police based on dog in the backyard, and why police would decide to go inside a house based solely on that. It's because they already knew to be wary for her.

"Auburn police name Katie Socci's boyfriend (sic) as person of interest in her death"

 

[SurfieTX]

Auburn, NY—Police this morning identified David F. McNamara, the ex-boyfriend of an Auburn woman whose body they believe was found dead Wednesday afternoon in a shallow grave, as a person of interest in the case.

McNamara, 34, was taken into custody Wednesday for a violation of probation, Lt. Shawn Butler said this morning. He is currently in the Cayuga County Jail awaiting arraignment on violating probation by entering a bar, he said.
McNamara is expected to be arraigned Monday, Butler said.

In January, McNamara pleaded guilty to forgery and a month later was sentenced to three years probation, according to Auburn City Court records.

Yes, thank you so much neighbor. While alerting authorities did not (probably couldn't have) saved Katie, it very much may have saved her baby girl.

Really... He left his own child alone in the house. I imagine that he was going to to go over there in the am and 'pretend' to find the child...

Good grief. What on earth are people thinking?
