Dolores pimps kill their girls all the time. Spitzer prosecuted and jailed people for doing the same thing he was doing at the same time. He was involved in possible money laundering and as a sitting governor he had the power of PARDON. He should do some hard time.

Why in gods name did they have to kill her, and are they so stupid to think they wouldn't get caught using her atm card??

We live here,Why are they on the streets,build the gallows in Durham,nc and be done with them....

The root problem is teenage pregnancy and AWOL fathers. I bet the mothers of these 2 losers were unmarried teens, and the fathers nowhere to be found. THIS is the issue that needs a lot more focus. Who cares what Eliot Spitzer did for recreation - he didn't kill anyone - why aren't we focusing on killings and their causes?

Were there any signs of a sexual assault?

Repeat felons like Atwater ought to sustain harsher and quicker penalties, instead of prowling on our streets. Better yet, felons should not get a chance to be repeat felons. If Atwater had been incarcerated or executed the first time around, we would not have to deal with Eve's tragic death.
