Two words for Norwood - ROW and GAIN!!!!!
The story never gave a motive or don't they have one yet?
Also, were the heck is that street in Bethesda? I don't recognize it at all and I lived up there for 20 years.
It's next to the Apple Store (I only know that because police reports mention that Apple Store employees heard women fighting next door around the time of the murder). I grew up in Bethesda and I don't recognize any of it either.
I wouldn't say I "called" it -- that's something frat boys do in between high fives and chugs of Wiedemann's -- but it didn't ring true for me from the very beginning. Mainly because people organized and focused enough to presumably case out and burgle a store, after hours, with ski masks even, don't take time out from their burglary work for a murder/rape.
It also seemed odd that they'd do their burglary right after closing time, when Bethesda is still pretty busy, rather than waiting until the dead of night.
Finally, the fact that the dead woman returned because the other "forgot her wallet and needed to be let in" just sounded highly bogus from the beginning.
I'm sure the Montgomery County Cops doubted all this from moment one, too, and it sounded like there was a ton of other questionable details as well, but it's not good form to publicly question a rape victim's story until the evidence is lined up.
The motive was that the woman apparently was a freakin psycho! but beyond that, apparently the dead woman caught her stealing that same day and reported her to a manager.
