Neighbor arrested in the homicide of Wolfe sisters in East Liberty (Pittsburgh, PA)
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | 3/5/2014 | Liz Navratil and Jonathan D. Silver

A neighbor of two East Liberty sisters found slain inside their home early last month has been arrested and charged with killing them.

Allen Wade, 43, a convicted felon, faces charges of homicide, burglary, robbery, theft, access device fraud and carrying a gun without a license.

-

The foyer was in disarray, police said, and the walls, floor and basement doorway were spattered with blood.

In the basement, police found Susan Wolfe naked, and bleach and laundry detergent had been poured on her. Sarah was found clothed with a blanket over her head and liquid detergent had been poured on top of her.

Both had been shot once in the head.

The contents of Susan Wolfe’s purse were poured out on the basement floor, her driver’s license, credit cards and keys missing, as well as her cell phone.

A search of bank records shows that Susan’s bank card was used between 12:43 and 12:51 a.m. Feb. 7 at an ATM on Penn Circle.

Surveillance footage from the ATM showed a man wearing gray sweatpants, a red hooded sweatshirt, a pair of bright white shoes and something white covering his face. Video also showed the man taking off the gray sweatpants about 1 a.m. Feb. 7 on South Whitfield Street near a Midas Muffler shop.

Police found Sarah Wolfe’s distinctive lime green Ford Fiesta parked on that street about 24 hours later, and found a pair of sweatpants nearby that contained a business card for someone who interacted with Susan Wolfe.

A blood sample on those sweatpants matched Wade, police wrote.

I cannot recall reading about a white man breaking into a black woman's home, a neighbor's home, and murdering her. Not in the last thirty years, not in the whole country. It's happened, probably. But there have been three cases in the news like this one in my state alone, in the last year.

Suspect is old enough to be a brother, not a son, for what it's worth.

We had a case of a white guy murdering an elderly black neighbor near me a few years ago.

He was nuts, they found him in her dress with her head in a bag. He claimed she was emanating rays at him.

As far as I can tell, the only time "gun laws" are enforced are:

  1. against law-abiding citizens who draw attention to themselves in any way whatsoever, or...
  2. when a LEO's weapon is stolen

The rest of the time, law enforcement has better things to do.

Basically, if they wait until someone is shot, they can be sure the gun is at least partially unloaded.

So, as soon as I saw this thread, I had a suspicion about the ethnic background of the perp vs the victims. I was 100% sure it was not a white on black crime. I wonder if Holder knows about it.

The victims’ sister is a Democrat state representative in their native Iowa. Psychiatrist Sarah Wolfe unfortunately just bought this house in a bad neighborhood next door to the killer.

There are, of course, cases of white people murdering blacks. Evil knows no color.

East Liberty was known to be a rough area of town when I used to visit Pittsburgh relatives in the ‘70s. Just looked it up, and it is described as culturally diverse and undergoing gentrification.

My cousin was raped a couple years ago in Lansing. The man poured bleach on her, then took the blankets and sheets and fled. It turned out there had been a few others in the area, but the police kept it quiet. Got to love my cousin. She said she wasn’t going to let that son of a bitch ruin her life. She is doing well. I believe he is in prison.

The bastard simply went to a contact and bought the gun, the same way the mob got booze during Prohibition. Prohibition - guns or booze - simply won't work in America.

The perp makes no attempt to mask his identity as he parades about the local media, blubbering only that he is 100% innocent. Yeah, sure. Some cop probably planted the slain women’s DNA on those sweat pants that he was throwing away in the dead of night.

The goblin decided that these women were not part of “my people” and simply regarded them as prey. A large price to pay for “diversity”..

I know East Liberty, and I wouldn't drive through it after dark for any reason. In this case, "gentrification" just means that naive targets are buying property there.

And for what it's worth, I have a liberal friend who bought a townhouse on Pittsburgh's North Side, another "gentrification" area. She tells me she's not hearing as many gunshots as she did a year ago. Like that's something to brag about.
