Alyssa Jane Venable PHOTO SPOTSYLVANIA SHERIFF'S OFFICEA Virginia woman has been arrested for killing her roommates; three bodies were found in the shared house. Fredericksburg is shaken up after the triple homicide, and cops are perplexed.
Police arrested Alyssa Jane Venable in New York a day after finding her roommates' bodies. The Spotsylvania Sheriff said Robert John McGuire, 77; Carol Anne Reese, 65; and Gregory Scott Powell, 60 had upper body injuries when found during a welfare check. Officials said a concerned friend had called for the check after Venable reportedly said some disturbing things.
Police are tight-lipped on the motive and cause of death but say the killings were brutal. Investigators are piecing together clues in this tragic roommate murder case.
Venable didn't go quietly - she led New York police on a wild chase before they caught her. The sheriff said New York troopers spotted Venable's car after getting a heads-up from Virginia. When they tried to pull her over, Venable reportedly sped away. The chase ended when cops punctured her tires, and she crashed.
Before she was caught, Venable's grandmother expressed concerns about her granddaughter's well-being. She told WUSA9 that Alyssa might be a danger to herself; she could hurt herself and was in desperate need of help. The grandmother's fears hint at deeper issues that might explain this awful Virginia crime.
Locals in the town are still in shock, and a lot is yet to be known about the case. There has been no word yet from the sheriff on whether Venable has a lawyer or how she's pleading.
This situation shows how complex violent crime cases can be, especially when mental health might be involved. As police investigate further, they'll try to piece together what sparked this tragedy that has torn a community apart.
