Audrey Gleave- Murder Investigation

Who: Audrey Gleave (73) a retired science teacher What: She was stabbed to death.
When: December,29/10 (2 a.m)
Where: In her garage on 'Indian Trail' in Ancaster.
Why: No one knows why she was murdered, or what went down between her and the killer.
How: (Stabbed) Her dogs were locked in her house, therefore, they couldn't protect her.

 The article that I wrote about, didn't really change my opinions anout Audrey's death. Saying that, I think she was somehow running from someone or something from her past. Why didn't she get a long with her mom?
Why did she use so many fake names?

No Standardized Tests!!

I do not think tests such as the literacy test, should be mandatory. It involves too much stress and studying. I also think that regular tests and quizes, cover the basic information and work that needs to be done and understood. There is no need for extra work, only the work that is needed to be done for classes.

My Thoughts on Brutal Murder

Last week, an elderly woman was stabbed to death in her own home. I think it is really sick, because who would want to do that to anyone? I also have a feeling that she was paranoid and maybe trying to develop a new life, away from someone inparticular. She had many names, a huge house, and two guard-like dogs, who were unfortunately not available to save her that fateful day.
