Someone has to ask it.

With the revelation that two murdered women were known to each other the obvious question to ask is, do they share the same killer? I will be very interested to hear how Heather Catterton, 17, and Randi Saldana, 30, died.

And let’s not forget that we have had the Ira Yarmolenko case sitting in stasis for almost a year now, 19 months after her murder along the banks of the Catawba River in Gaston County. Should the investigation show that Catterton and Saldana were strangled as was Yarmolenko the state should clear the decks for full-scale DNA cross-referencing of the cases.
