Chelsea Murder Victim Apparently Killed by Boyfriend During Break-Up

That is purely non-sense. However, some people try to just sleep around with anyone they wish and think they can go away doing like that with multiple guys out there. Which is not true in every case. There is a very much possibility of someone being a sick-head like this guy who killed his own love out of jealousy. Although there is no jealousy in love but she must have provoked him to end up being dead like that. The real story will always remain hidden cause she is dead now and he can't narrate her story. He will be dead soon. The point here is that both of them tried to play with fire and ended up dead. How pathetic!

#15s no compromising attitude is exactly right. The guy that abuses you is not a lost puppy - he's a predator plain and simple. There's nothing more dangerous than a wounded predator except for a wounded predator who is also human.

Anyone who physically or psychologically abuses you is not to be reasoned with.

I am dating in my age range, and sometimes my SO can get a bit jealous (and sometimes even now). There's just no way of changing someone... if they get jealous over every little thing you do, they'll always be jealous unless they *really* take steps to fix it, and the same goes with any problem in a relationship.

Maybe age range does matter, but that's not often the case.

This also should be a lesson to date people within your age range. I was dating someone 10 yrs. younger than I was and she, the relationship, or simply I just drove me nuts. The relationship was not compatible and never was to begin with. She was way too young, I was too old -- she wanted to (still)to have fun, I wanted to settle down. She was into Gossip Girls, I was into PBS. She was still reading Harry Potter books, I was reading John Updikes. Etc., etc... We argued a lot, and most of the times I was jealous for no reason -- she was just being who she is at her age. Thank G_d we both realized that it was not meant to be and walked away.

Why oh why do women continue to stay with men who are described as jealous psychos or "raging alcoholics"? I dated a guy for nearly 8 yrs. During the 8th year, he struck me-- never had before then, although I can look back now and see redflags that I never took seriously. Wanna know how quickly I got out of that relationship? FAST, faster than I could type the word FAST.

That's what you women need to do: you can't change them, you can't save them and you owe them nothing when you KNOW in your heart it's time to GO. Just GO. Even though I had a court order of protection, I knew he knew it was just a piece of paper. So I moved out as soon as I had the paperwork (he was forced to go live with his brother because I was alowed to stay in our apartment) and I took only the necessary items with me. Good friends who didn't judge helped me and I was out in less than 4 hours in one afternoon. I changed my cell # and instructed managers at work that he was not allowed access to my work building under NO CONDITIONS-- my job was the last link allowing him any kind of access to me. Thankfully he gave up after a few weeks and left me alone. A few months aftwerwards I got a new job and I felt safer in the knowledge that he really had no idea where I was.

It works. You have to make it work. Or you'll wind up in a bathtub cut to pieces.

Holy crap, I think I knew that girl.

And yeah, poor girl. Had so much going for her. Men who rely on their physical dominance of women to control them are the lowest forms of human beings.

Flag poles have always gotten in the way of a good fall. In Buffalo, many years ago, a disturbed Psychology student did a swan dive from the top of City Hall only to impale himself halfway down the flagpole like a coctail weenie. The pictures were amazing. That said, I feel for the family of that girl who died so needlessly at the hands of a total loser jerk. I wish there was a DNA test for guys like that.

Offbalance how silly. As if he wouldn't know where to find her? A determined psycho would care less about any of those things.

kind of eerie; it's an image of hillary clinton and the nomination. if i can't have it nobody can - look out barack...

This is the sickest story ever.

And what is up with calling her a "cunt", Jaja? I don't get you.

She may have been foolish to stay with him, but then most women are foolish to be with most men.

I hope this is a lesson to any woman out there dealing with a possessive or addicted man. Dump him politely very early on while it's still not too complicated, and move right away. I did it. It was easy. Dump men at the FIRST very slightest WHIFF OF that kind of TROUBLE. It's not worth taking the chance. There are plenty of undangerous, very nice men out there waiting.

"If I can't have her, no one can!" That was exactly what this douche bag thought of before he killed her.

Sadly, she died... Happily, he saved the New York taxpayers and the Powers family the grief of a "not guilty" trial.

This is why you break up with an unbalanced ex in public, over the phone, letter or via a restraining order.

Cant all these scumbag loser boyfriends do the world a favor and just kill themselves instead of people who actually arent scum?

"Both families need time to heal"

Well, if Smith wasn't such a pathetic loser then there would be no need for healing at this point. An intervention by the currently healing family might have spared the Powers family their own need to heal. Then again, it's tough to confront your own son about his drinking and mental illness, especially when there are so many other things to get to during your busy life.

I wish all of the murder-suicides would switch the order to suicide-[murder]

i guess you can say he was really "broken up" over being dumped. he really "fell to pieces."

jumped off the building, "his body splitting in two when it hit a flagpole while hurtling toward the pavement below."

wtf!! that's like something out of a bad movie.
