Michigan state investigators spent hours Tuesday at the home of slain synagogue president Samantha Woll, who was found stabbed to death early Saturday on her front lawn.
DETROIT – Michigan police Tuesday examined a pair of slashed tires near the Detroit home of murdered synagogue president Samantha Woll. Detective Alexander Martinez, with the state's major case unit, inspected the tires of a white Mercedes, as a team of forensic investigators combed through Woll's home wearing blue booties. Authorities haven't publicly named a suspect in the shocking slaying of the beloved Detroit native.
The car owners, who asked that their names be withheld, are a couple who live in the same complex. The woman said they had left town Friday and returned Sunday afternoon to find the driver-side tires of their car, parked about 200 feet from Woll's front door, flat from puncture marks. 'We've never had a tire slashing down here that I've known about, and we've been down here 30 years,' the woman previously told Fox News Digital.
At least 10 investigators were in and out of Woll's home Tuesday removing evidence and taking photographs for nearly three hours. After the flurry of activity, a bouquet of flowers and a blue vase with a single rose were the only outward signs that the townhome had been the scene of a grisly murder. White told reporters that Woll's killing was not motivated by antisemitism. The president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue had returned home from a wedding at about 12:30 a.m.
Many initially speculated on social media that Woll was the victim of a hate crime amid the escalating tensions across the U.S. over the Israel-Hamas War, but police dismissed the theory. The Detroit Police Department declined to comment on whether the slashed tires are related to the murder probe.
