<quoted text>Lady, I'm from Broomall, PA and I knew Claire. She had a good job teaching at a Catholic school. She had a good family that cared about her. Yet she threw it all away to smoke crack with a hoopty n from the ghetto. She not only threw it away, she thumbed her nose at guys like me who aren't in the "scene". Cause she was gonna be a star. When she was murdered, she lived in a garbage pit with no electric or running water. Her boyfriend strangled her over who got to smoke the last of the crack. Wow, ha ha. All those times she called me L7 (square) really hurts my feelings now. It's this simple: If you dance with the devil, you are gonna get burned. That's why I have never done a drug in my life and to hell with those who have...Ken.

I knew Claire very well. Much better than you have. She never, ever did drugs not once in her life. She didn't throw anything away, cause her family always cared about her and thinks idiots like you should leave her alone.That guy who murdered her wasn't her boyfriend, and he only kiled her because he was jealous. You are a square, and you only dislike her cause she didn't like you

The man deserves it, but I think he should get life in prison for all that he did. I'm a member of her family and she was the nicest person I ever met.

White girl from the suburbs,killed,torched,and strangled. Black male, boyfriend,junkie,criminal,lose r,Philly, scum. Sadly, This is happening more and more nationwide. Brainwashed by MTV, and interracial couples? Draw your own conclusion. Spread the word, and protect our women. It's sad R.I.P.

Agreed. I had not seen her in 5 years when she was taken from us, but Claire was the kindest hearted person I have ever met. She changed my life by helping me find my way back to God. I am eternally grateful for her and hope her family knows that the spirit she shared with us is carried on by all those who were lucky enough to truely know her.
