I'm sure this has been shared and I just missed it, but I don't recall seeing that Lonya was a Russian adoptee in the thread.

I wonder if the arrested man was Lonya's dealer. (only say this because he has had multiple drug arrests)
Owed money is a definitely a common motive for murder.
I hope justice is served
