Disabled Woman's 'friends' Tortured And Killed Her
When you read cases like this, you must shed a tear or two because the crime is so awful beyond description that only demons in human form could do this to a person whose mental capacity is of a 12 to 14 years old and who she referred as her "friends". Absolutely heartbreaking. Please read the parts in bold. ALL these folks should be put to death IMMEDIATELY!
QUOTE GREENSBURG, Pa. - A mentally disabled woman was forced to eat detergent and urine - and to write her own suicide note - before she was stabbed to death and dumped in a school parking lot, police said Friday. Six suspects are in custody, including some people she had apparently called her friends.
The head of 30-year-old Jennifer Daugherty had been shaved, and she had been bound with Christmas decorations and clothing; she also was hit with a towel rack, vacuum cleaner hose and a crutch, according to an affidavit. Her face was painted with nail polish, and she was fed vegetable oil, spices and medications in addition to soap and urine, police said.
"She was exploited, and her kindness and her handicap made her very vulnerable," Daugherty's sister, Joy Burkholder, said. "She trusted everybody; she believed everyone was good, and no one would hurt her."
Six people were charged with criminal homicide, kidnapping and related charges in the death of Daugherty, who was missing since Monday and whose body was found Thursday at Greensburg Salem Middle School, about 30 miles east of Pittsburgh.
Charged were Robert Loren Masters Jr., 36, Ricky Smyrnes, 23, Melvin Knight, 20, Amber Meidinger, 20, all of Greensburg; a 17-year-old girl from Greensburg; and Peggy Darlene Miller, 27, of Mount Pleasant TownshipAll were being held without bond in the Westmoreland County prison. It was not clear whether they had attorneys.
Authorities said Daugherty willingly went to the apartment where she was killed, but they wouldn't discuss a motive or details on how the visit turned deadly. Authorities said they found the victim's belongings in the building's attic, as well as items that had been used to clean up blood.
"She was at the wrong place, at the wrong time, stumbled in a bad situation," said Greensburg Police Chief Walter Lyons....
