So sad to hear they found the young mothers body. I'm glad her family can have some closure and be able to bring her home. I hope they find the evil person or persons that took her life.

Is anyone saying anything about the similarities between this murder and the murder of Michelle Lozano who lived very close to this girl?

@Yes, there has been a strand of comment about that on the Eastsider, and a call for police to now give that case some attention again.
