The apartment complex, The Mansions at Moses Lake, is supposedly a "gated community": http://www.seniorhousingtexascity.com/amenities.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I've never seen the place. It was built in the past year and is a pretty nice place if it is as advertised.

"Gated" does not equal safe.

Nothing is 100% except for death.

Most Christians and adherent of many other religions believe otherwise.

Then you have cases like this: http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/1090779/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Very sad.

OK folks, no discussion of religion in the off-topic area. Get back to discussion on the original issue.

[seamusTX]

No sign of forced entry. No other clues.

You think you got problems? How can a blind person verify the identity of someone knocking on the door and claiming to be the FedEx driver or maintenance man?

She's 19, and a legal adult. May she get her just rewards. Can she be charged with capital murder? I hope so.

[seamusTX]

She can be charged with capital murder only if she committed the murder in the course of robbery, burglary, or certain other felonies that would not be applicable here.
