DETROIT — Police reiterated on Monday that the slaying of a prominent Jewish leader was likely not an act of antisemitism and didn't bear tell-tale signs of a hate crime. 'Right now, the evidence does not take us there,' Detroit Police Chief James E. White told reporters, declining to elaborate on what leads authorities to believe that the murder of 40-year-old Samantha Woll on Saturday morning wasn't a bias attack.
Investigators are focusing on 'persons of interest' and a 'number of different theories,' said White, who stopped short of saying police had a suspect in mind. She was stabbed inside her house and stumbled into her front yard before a 911 caller reported seeing the body hours later. Responding officers discovered a 'trail of blood' that led back into Woll's home, which showed no signs of forced entry, the chief said.
