This is a very disturbing story, so if you choose to read on, you have been warned.
As I’m scanning the news today I came across a gruesome murder story about a young Ohio woman that was brutally beaten, raped, set on fire and left to die as she wailed next to the edge of a country road. It took her a week to die. This sounded eerily similar to a story we ran regarding a young Mississippi woman.
I did a news search wondering if the suspect was the same in both cases? Then I found a 3rd similar case. But, this time she was a Kansas woman. Three young women, all white, living in three different states, all beaten and burned to death, two had been raped. 2 of the three cases were Black males with long arrests records that raped the victims and the third suspect was ( ? ).
We wrote about the 3rd case here on PS. The victim was Jessica Chambers, you may recall the story. Anyway, she was from Mississippi and just before she disappeared she was seen in the company of several Black males. Investigators said she had recently broken up with her boyfriend, who coincidentally was Black, but he has an alibi. No suspects have ever been charged in this case.
The victim (Chambers) gave information about her attacker/s before she died, but police are not releasing any details…. I mean nothing! All we have are 3rd party claims, nothing official. There is an unconfirmed story that at least one federal investigation is looking at the possibility that a white gang dealing in meth was responsible for this murder. If true, the police aren’t saying, but it is known they have been investigating primarily within the Black community. Feds looking at Whites and local cops looking at Blacks. They couldn’t be any more divided.
The 3 crimes occurred within a fair close time frame from each other. Two of the victims were raped, all brutally beaten and all set on fire to die… that’s unusual. Is this a crime that is supposed to send a message? We just don’t know, but such casual brutality is stunning.
Two of the crimes have been solved and the suspects in those case are Black males (see pics). The murders occurred in 3 states, Mississippi, Kansas and Ohio and they appear unrelated.
What are the odds of this happening and what are we to make of it? I don’t know either, however, given the level of racial animosity in this country lately and all the media attention, I have to wonder: Is there some underlying connection here as in kopy Kat killers, one highly publicized crime begets another or is it a racial thing? We just don’t know.
