With all the factors in this story, I have a theory. She was arrested on drug charges and wore a wire for the sheffiff's department to set up dealers. Word got out. That woukd give motive to the extreme act. It was definitely personal. Also explains the gas being poured into her mouth = example to others who talk to the cops. The police have done a terrible job with facts in this case but perhaps it's because they did a crappy job protecting her as they had her in the streets "working" for them. Someone will eventually come forward but the fashion in which this murder took place is serving as intimidation. Who wants to be the next snitch in that community?

My personal feelings are that it was a horrendous crime and the folks that did it deserve the harshest of consequences. Above it just my theory on motives and such.
