GUILTY NY - Kelly Owen, 27, found strangled in parent's Long Island home, 16 Jan 2020 *Arrest*

LE hasn't said much but the reference of ME was to "homicide" and not "suicide".

Given the description we have received from the ME, I'm not sure how self inflicted fits with the narrative here.

But info is so limited that its hard to say much about MOD.

So we wait....

You misread my intention. I'm not in any way saying I believe it to be suicide, what I am stating is that LE's attention to it and the reporting it seem a bit off to me and it has the same feeling as if it was a suicide instead of a homicide. Maybe I'm just wanting to see more interest and activity on the investigation. And, yes, I'm well versed that LE keeps things to the vest, we don't need to know, LE doesn't have to enlighten us and all the other comments I'll receive. I've been at this for a long time and this is just my opinion here and right now, the interest from LE seems a bit lacking. Hopefully something will break soon.

It feels to me like LE has their POI picked out and it is someone well known to her. So no need for pressers to ask for help from public?

I want them to move already! It’s just awful. I hope we have good news soon.

 

[MinnyPin]

I wondered the same. They look like typical condolence comments.

I thought it was interesting there were only 5 comments on the memory wall, and 2 of the comments were from mothers of ex-boyfriends...

IMO

@lonetraveler, sorry I misunderstood your statement. I agree that the LE comments here haven't provided much to work with. So, we will just have to wait.

I saw funeral details and the comments on the memory wall - but not an obituary?

Why? I saw the mother of one ex boyfriend, and the mother of someone who took her to Prom. I just see it as two ladies that knew her and that have nothing but nice things to say about her.

It appears to me that almost everyone that knows her is keeping quiet and letting LE do their job. At least I hope that is the case.

An arrest has been made!

Wow, quicker than I thought, justice for Kelly!

 

[Sixcats1]

Michael Owen is her ex, and her daughter’s father.

The poor little girl .

 

[Mind your biscuits]

Sigh. Poor family, heartbroken for her child.

 

[PayrollNerd]

Another one that hates their Ex more than they love their child. And the entire family loses.

 

[momsof3]

I'd say I'm leaning the same way you might be. Interesting silence from family and friends. IMO

I wonder if the family's silence was because they knew or suspected all along that it was the ex. and they had confidence the police were taking the investigation seriously. I'm so glad the silence from LE was a case of LE getting ducks in a row to make an arrest. In that way it reminds me of Carolyn Byington, where it seemed like nothing was happening and then, bang, an arrest. Though Carolyn's killer (alleged) had a much more distant relationship and it took longer to resolve.

Why oh why can't some guys just MOVE ON.

 

[Sixcats1]

In my opinion, he was the suspect from the beginning. Everyone that knew her kept quiet and let the police get what they needed. Even on sm there was very very little chatter.

If this was the case , I really admire the family for restraining themselves, I don't think that I would have handled this situation that well.
