FIT Student Found Dead In Queens Home

Last night, the body of a 23-year-old woman was found in her family's Queens home on 30th Avenue. WABC 7 reports, "Authorities say the lock on the front door was broken, and that it appears someone broke in" and "there were brusies all over the body" of Carmen Saldana, a student at FIT. Saldana's mother apparently made the discovery after coming home from cleaning homes in the Hamptons. A cousin told WCBS 2, "Her mother came in and saw the lights on in her room. She called her. She went into her room and touched her feet and they were cold." The cousin also suggested that she was sexually assaulted. And according to the Daily News, "Saldana grew up in the quiet neighborhood and recently moved back in with her mother after breaking up with her boyfriend."

Monsters and other human-like creatures continue to walk amongst us spreading their violent disease wherever they go. Whether it's a creature from Boston murdering escorts, street trash shooting at grandmothers or rabid dogs breaking into homes and killing people where they most feel safe, our society really needs to do more keeping garbage like this off the streets. Perhaps twice a year psychological profiling for all citizens is the answer. Identify the potential sociopaths and segregate them early.
