A Detroit synagogue president was found fatally stabbed outside her home Saturday morning.

Samantha Woll, 40, led the congregation of Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue. The synagogue confirmed Woll's death Saturday in a statement writing, “We are shocked and saddened to learn of the unexpected death of Samantha Woll, our Board President.”

“May her memory be a blessing,” the statement continued.

Authorities said a 911 call was made to Woll's home early Saturday, reporting an individual lying on the ground unresponsive. Police discovered multiple stab wounds on Woll's body and found a trail of blood leading to her house, where they believe the crime occurred.

An investigation is underway. At this time, the motive for the crime remains unknown.

At this time, the motive for the crime remains unknown.

Unknown? Clearly this prominent Jewish community leader in Detroit was viciously stabbed to death for her playstation, there was no other reason possible.

  • Attempted robbery
  • Hate crime
  • Targeted attack by someone with a personal vendetta unrelated to Woll's religion
  • Random attack by a nutter

Among any number of other potential motives. There's a definite hierarchy of probability but random blind assertions in public are not how you build an actual fucking criminal case.

You missed the most obvious one: most women are murdered by men they know, and largely by current or former intimate partners. Especially since

[Police] found a trail of blood leading to her house, where they believe the crime occurred.

Thank you. Also worth noting is that this is Detroit, so, while death is always tragic, it's not unheard of in the city.
