Warrants show Roanoke woman's murder was a crime of passion

Warrants released show that Pizzi’s injuries are consistent with a crime of passion. The law definition shows it's when the defendant's excuse for committing a crime is sudden anger or heartbreak in order to eliminate the element of "premeditation."

Other than the "crime of passion", there isn't anything else new in the above article.

I wonder if Cassandra was one of the two people shown in the video or it was 2 people, neither of which was her.

As the investigation into the March killing of Cassandra Pizzi continues in Virginia, the people left behind by the 33-year-old mother's death are now grieving a second relative: the murdered woman's mother.

Pizzi's cousin Ryan Reilly tells PEOPLE that Rizzi's distraught 53-year-old mother, Patricia Jefferson, died by suicide on May 1 — a little over a month after her daughter's body was discovered in a wooded area of Roanoke.

So.very.sad...

There is so little information out there online, I can't believe it.
Where is her little boy? Who has him? Did she have custody?
They're calling her homeless. 'Other homeless people are scared'.
I can't even find an obituary.

Cassandra's mother Patricia Jefferson, passed away May 1, 2020. There weren't any funeral arrangements for her either.

 

[California Sunset]

I'm really disappointed in the lack of information and what I'm interpreting as a lack of interest in Cassandra's death. It's now been almost three months?

 

[California Sunset]

I'm not finding any more information online on this. Is she going to end up unsolved because she doesn't have anyone alive fighting for justice for her?

Thank you for the information.
Does anyone know if someone would be allowed to ask him to post here? Or ask him for information?
I don't like because they take a portion of the donations for themselves. I'd donate to something else.

I have nothing against you, but I'd like to ask, what investigation? I haven't found anything on this since May, except her cousin's donations of socks in her memory. That is something, but it isn't part of an investigation. I realize details of an ongoing investigation are not available for public consumption, but seriously, isn't there something that could be reported? Like 'an investigation is ongoing' , or detectives are following up on available leads', something.
This young woman was a human being and deserves some justice.
