She is a big loss to her mother and her family. She is a human being. My heart goes out to her family. And while I agree with the judges that she was not right for AI, her voice was not that bad. RIP Alexis!

That's cold. of course she was a human being that did not deserve to be left on the road like roadkill. I'm happy there was an arrest. This is unjust way to die. I only wish this on Bin Laden perhaps but not this poor gal.
