Investigators believe the man stabbed her at his home and then dumped the body in a minivan which he later abandoned. He has now been arrested on suspicion of murder and arson. A Facebook post read, ‘Please keep her husband and two daughters in your prayers. May God's comforting arms envelop her family, friends, and loved ones.’
