NORIEGA — A young girl was found brutally murdered yesterday morning, and is being recorded as the worst homicide case since the founding of the town, 25 years ago. Officials say the victim, 21 year-old Rose Thompson, was found mangled and decapitated by Bow Valley River.

“It was absolutely ridiculous! I couldn’t get any sleep since I heard the news,” says Jayma Woods, a resident of the area in which the crime took place. “The yelling and screaming yesterday evening scared my children! There is no way I’m letting them outside alone. I dare say, we have a predator on our hands!”

Police were called to the river after receiving several reports of horrific screaming being heard throughout the night. Mrs. Woods was just one of fifteen total complaints. Here they found the victim dead, with something else laying at her side.

They discovered Amanda Anderson, unconscious and bleeding alongside the body. At first believed to be dead, police viewed the deep claw marks surrounding her eyes. It is alleged she tried to claw her own eyes out after catching sight of the victim. The witness was driven to the nearest hospital once officers discovered her pulse, which was extremely weak, but certainly there.

Upon further inspection on the victim Ms. Thompson, investigators found several bruises around her neck. The search for fingerprints was unsuccessful, as there was not a sufficient amount of epidermis left for impressions to reside. However, the wounds were identified as fairly new, revealing the crime had mostly likely taken place the night before. Witnesses are being gathered as forensic scientists continue their search for clues.

All those involved are hard at work as the investigation continues. Police remain in the surrounding area, keeping a close look out for suspicious activity. A list of counsellors has also been posted on their website, in hopes that those deeply affected by the crime get the help they so desire. Close friends and family are being reviewed at the station, but so far no recent updates have been shared.

In the last known sighting before her untimely death, Rose Thompson was seen in a heated fight with her brother, Devon Thompson. The two were reportedly causing commotion, while yelling and screaming at his apartment, before the fight eventually became physical. After being pushed in pure rage, Mr. Thompson slapped the victim across the face. It was only then that Ms. Anderson, believed to be involved with the two, appeared out of the house to break up the fight. No persons have come forward in providing information as to what exactly caused this meltdown.

Meanwhile, the demand to solve this case continues. As the whole community begins to feel the impact of her death, more and more pressure is being held against officials. A funeral service will commence in Rose’s honour, on October 15th, 2016 at Westfield Chapel. It is our only hope at Micklaine’s Magazine that we all become one, under the wake of this distressing occurrence, while bringing peace to the ones in which Rose’s life had impacted.
