I have read about this particular case on crimestoppers I hate to say I think it was a drug deal or a
possible drug related homicide . I hope it gets solved.

[Chris]

I'd agree with that.

Were drugs ever brought up?  I was just wondering.

[rodman]

I dont know if they were but im sure the detectives or coroners office would have ran a toxicology screen
or at least I hope they would have .
