Laura Szendrei's Murder

On September 25th, 15 year-old Laura Szendrei was walking through an open park in her hometown of Delta B.C, just south of Vancouver. It was a recreational park in broad daylight (rroughly 12p.m.), but at that time, Laura was attacked (no more details reeleased). She died later in hospital surrounded by her family.
Laura was, as described by family and friends, a "happy smiling young girl". Her life was cut short.
Was Laura involved with any shady people? Was this a planned meeting on Sunday morning?
Was Laura mentally stable? Was she troubled or just a happy teenager? Was she just in the wrong place at the wrong time?
Also, police are working to see if any ties can be made between the death of Laura and two other attacks on women in the same area earlier this month. Her death is very troubling, and police and family and friends are working to bring the murderer to justice.

My Thoughts

For the most part, there weren't many shockers. I knew, but didn't really want to believe, that poverty was on the rise in Canada. We are having more and more people come to Canada, not able to find work because they were trained differently or they are unable to join the work force in higher paying jobs. More people with fewer jobs, means that poverty must be rising. It is good to know, though, that in spite of growing poverty, violent crimes are in decline.
