Woman Found Murdered in Queens

2006_11_1087.jpgWhen 24 year old Priscilla Pimentel didn't go home to Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving, her family was worried. Her brother and sister went to her home at 102-9 87th Avenue in Richmond Hill and found Pimentel stabbed to death in her bathtub. She was stabbed in the chest and arms, her hands were bound behind her back and the body of her pet pit bull was next to her. A neighbor said, "Her sister ran out crying and screaming. I went upstairs and saw her in the tub with the dog." And apparently paint was found all over the room and on Pimentel's and her dog's bodies - possibly to hide evidence.

The NY Times reports that Pimentel had worked at as a bartender in Queens, but mentioned going back to school recently.

The Times says that it was a "small dog" found next to the body while the Post says it was a "pit bull." Given the circumstances the Times' version is probably correct!

It's Pimentel, not Pimental.

The pit bull must have done it.

She was the sweetest person you could ever know...It's ashame what a person can do to one who is so innocent as Gods angel. I love you Peaches..R.I.P
