I don't know about murders, but my daughter and her family live in Huntington and their apartment's been robbed twice in broad daylight in the past year. They live in what you would think were very safe neighborhoods. Their next door neighbor was burglarized a month or so prior to their last break-in.
I know...it's a lot worse than it used to be and these murders just highlight it. I live in a middle class neighborhood with lots of neighbors around and at home most of the time. We have very few break ins or anything like that in this neighborhood. BUT...I'm sure it's coming here too. It's just sad the way the whole country is going and the crime is now hitting small town America with more vengence.
