Detroit police said Sunday that they have found no evidence that indicates the fatal stabbing of a Detroit synagogue president this weekend was linked to antisemitism.

Police continue to investigate the death of Samantha Woll, 40, who was found stabbed outside her home Saturday morning, Detroit Police Chief James E. White said in a statement Sunday.

    I don’t think that’s necessarily always true. There are plenty of scenarios where investigators pretty much know the motive before they find the culprit: robberies, crimes of passion, signs of forced entry, etc. I’m not a cop but whether you an investor sees certain signs will point an investigation in one direction or another. Anchor thinking is always dangerous because it can subconsciously cause someone to discount contradictory evidence.
