WHOS WHO IN MICHELLE YOUNG MURDER CASE
Note: Hi all. For newcomers, regulars, lurkers and for referencing, I spent the day compiling a Who's Who to double check. If I've made a mistake or as and when new info, names, dates, etc come in, please pm me and I'll enter your info in.
Felt this would be a handy One-Source Info Link without turning into a comments thread.
When more info is released and when it comes to arrests, trial etc we might add/amend etc. Please note, where I've entered "TBC" this info will be clarified or confirmed when we know more. ALL INPUT WARMLY WELCOMED.
If the thread sinks and is not required - well heck, lol, I learned a WHOLE lot myself. All following info has been collected and compiled through various news reports, independent web research and is on registered disk/CD.
Let's build a case!
.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
CASE BACKGROUND:
AT 1:30 pm Friday 3 November, Michelle Marie Fisher Young, 29, was found bludgeoned to death, on the master bedroom floor, face down and on the floor in their leafy Birchleaf Drive home in Enchanted Oaks, Raleigh, NC. No forced entry, no sexual assault and Michelle suffered multiple blunt force trauma. Varying reports of whether or not Michelle was nude or covered with a sweat-shirt. This will be clarified as we move forward.
Michelles sister, Meredith told officers shed called by on a fluke, having been asked by Jason Young via voicemail, to retrieve documents from their home. Cassidy, Michelle's toddler dau of 2 and half was alone in the house and had left a "trail of bloody footprints everywhere" and the family pet was "freaking out". It is not known where exactly in the house (or on the property) the dog was - or what the dog's name is.
Cassie can be clearly heard chatting coherently in the background and asking for a washcloth. Meredith sounded distraught at first and then gathered herself, perhaps due to 911 ops request and for Cassie's sake.
Sheriff Donnie Harrison stated this was no random crime and the community had nothing to worry about.
Michelle's husband had left the previous evening to get a head start on a business trip. Michelle had friend/s over to watch Gray's Anatomy and he was witnessed leaving. He allegedly placed a call home at 11 PM, some 30 minutes after guests left. The investigation continues.
