Slain Mass. teacher's throat cut, note left

Not saying that you need to be paranoid; but assuming that someone is not dangerous or does not present a threat simply based on age can be a huge mistake. I am not implying that the victim in this case did that, but rather that her terrible murder shows that a 14 can overpower an adult ten years older.

Also, the edged weapon that was used to coerce and ultimately kill her was a simple box-cutter.

“Massachusetts teacher who police say was killed by one of her students was found in the woods, naked from the waist down and with her throat slit…”
