Tragedy in Wonderland

A few days ago, a terrible crime occurred on a different part of this trail. A 36-year-old woman was brutally beaten and then raped while on her morning jog around 6:30 am.
The crime occurred in an affluent neighborhood with a normally low crime rate. I’d be surprised if there were any crimes there, to be honest. But here we are, three days beyond something that isn’t supposed to happen in such a neighborhood. It isn’t supposed to happen in anyone’s neighborhood.
The photo itself is textbook, with the trail fading off into obscurity, bordered by young oaks on each side. How quickly a picture of serenity can become a crime scene photograph.
There were more patrol cars there than I had ever seen. This guy is at-large and there’s little to go on. The newspaper reported that he casually got in a car and drove away. That’s it.
Stay vigilant. Violent crime has no boundaries.
