She was such a beautiful young woman.

Prayers for her family always.

Agree with prior posts; however, hundreds of young women in the area have been murdered or raped or kidnapped or all three in the same period of time. That Miss Spencer was a very attractive, young, white girl should not be a factor.

This site, with regularity, has girly contests (which denigrates females and champions their sexual value), posts about the value of T&A and has many posts which seem to position women and girls as possessions and sex objects. Then when a bully acts out and takes the life of a woman, suddenly we grieve as anniversaries roll around. Think about that.

Well, I'm black, but I don't criticize the posts about Heather.

When someone is savagely murdered like her, no amount of tributes will ever compensate for such a loss.

Such a level a grief sees no color. It sees wounded souls.

That's why I never criticized posts like this or the Natalee Holloway coverage. If my child were missing (which I pray never happens), I would be on TV 24/7 as well. If the coverage was because they were white, oh well. That's MY child, and I'll support 150%.

Please leave race out of this. She might have been young, attractive, and white, but that still wasn't enough to stop someone she loved from taking her from this earth.

Rest softly Heather.

Your self-righteous attempt notwithstanding, hundreds of young women in the area have not been murdered or raped or kidnapped or all three in the same period of time.

YOU are the one making it a factor that she was a very attractive, young, whit girl. Get over it, some people are more magnanimous and garner attention when something awful happens to them. Some times it's just circumstantial or timing that makes a specific event bigger than others in the public eye. Attempting to equalize events demeans all of them because it removes the focus.

Additionally, attempting to equate the appreciation of females that are attractive and the recognition of the same as somehow correlated to such events is part of the same (personal) attempt to remove focus. We get it, you are unattractive and attention-starved.

But, beautiful women are beautiful by definition. Sexy women are sexy, by definition. Women get breast implants and other plastic surgery in record numbers. You posit that it "seems" to position females as possessions. That's just your failed attempt to tear down those that are attractive.

God forbid, an attractive SMART female is recognized.

" hundreds of young women in the area have been murdered or raped or kidnapped or all three in the same period of time"

Really? I don't see a record of "hundreds" during that time period. Why don't you post the statistics, actual news articles, or anything identifying these women. If a black, yellow, purple, pink or green woman had been murdered by a so-called boyfriend or husband, the outrage would still be there, especially if the family publicized it as greatly as Heather's family. They wanted the world to know the utter heartbreak of losing a family member to domestic violence, in the hopes someone experiencing DV would get out of the situation before the same happened to them. Try again. We know who you are. on Remembering Heather Spencer

And here is another one that accidentally got deleted:

T&A Winner Announced has left a new comment on your post "Remembering Heather Spencer":

Elsewhere tonite, on this very site, we see the winner of one of these Kingfish sexist contests is Jennifer Ortega, with, what else? Pictures provided. And you wonder why women are viewed as possessions and objects?

But, by the way, prayers for Heather. Selective indignance?

Well my little troglodytes, its time to address your disgusting comments.

The woman was brutally beaten to death and then sexually assaulted. She was known in the community. The killer was the son of a known businessman and his mother was well-known in the media and business community.

However, something didn't add up and the police sure did seem awfully closed-mouthed. Cops informed me that they were being told from Mount Olympus to shut up about the case. Then when George Bell pleaded guilty, he claimed he strangled Ms. Spencer to death. It didn't add up as the family protested it wasn't true. However, no one could get anything out of the police.

The legislature changed the law in the same year to allow the public and media to obtain police reports. I requested them, Jackson denied them. I filed a complaint with the Ethics Commission. Five months passed before they ruled on the complaint but they ruled in my favor. Its now precedent.

Then the city provided a heavily redacted police report. Ridiculously redacted. Worst mistake they could have made as it raised suspicions there was a coverup of something.

At this time Robbie Bell had been indicted for accessory after the fact but Jim Hood dropped the indictment.

I eventually obtained a copy of the raw police file. That is when we saw the real story. The brutal nature of the murder. The fact that the autopsy did not match up with George Bell's claim that he strangled his girlfriend. Then we see in the report Ms. Bell is represented by none other than Ed Peters. Click. Jim Hood could have prosecuted her for obstruction or harboring a fugitive but chose not to do so. Delaughter was going to hear the case when Jim Hood dropped the prosecution.

The mother was never prosecuted and indeed, in my opinion, tried to help him avoid law enforcement if her actions and James Bell's statements are to be believed. The Ed Peters connection is merely icing on the cake.

THAT is why this story garners attention to this day. But keep on trolling.

Hey 6:30. No one cares

I know I for one couldn't possibly care any less about the rampant black on black violence you people are committing. Don't care at all.

Nothing surprises me with JPD etc.
Have had my issues with JPD. Some good and depends who you know I guess, Haven't figured it out and probably never will.
