Police continue to investigate the death of Samantha Woll, 40, who was found stabbed outside her home Saturday morning, Detroit Police Chief James E. White said in a statement Sunday.

As I've argued before: She was stabbed multiple times inside her home, in a moderately densely populated area that seems like it would have lots of Ring doorbells.

If it was an attack on Jews in general, why didn't they target an area with multiple victims? If it was a targeted attack on her, why not in a place with less people, less potential surveillance, and a better weapon? This reads more like a spur of the moment attack, a crime of passion.

It's possible that the passion was Why are you saying that Hamas' actions weren't entirely justified?!. But -- most women are killed by men that they know, and the majority of the killers are current or former partners of the victim.

The most important thing to remember is that the investigation is still ongoing and until it's concluded we're all just speculating.

Could easily be a targeted attack seeing as she was the leader of a synagogue.

Cops said she was attacked inside her home. With the current hostilities, she's unlikely to invite a stranger inside. And again, the area is moderately densely populated, likely has a bunch of Ring doorbells, and they used a knife? If you were trying to kill someone, does that sound like the conditions you would choose to do it in?

Could have been a "friend" or acquaintance.

Guns for show, knives for a pro.

Maybe they were murdered by a felon 😆 felons can't have guns... /s

Just speculation... Gumption.
