As police continued to investigate Detroit synagogue leader Samantha Woll’s brutal stabbing death, her family revealed at her Sunday funeral that Woll’s last text message was a heart sent to a friend, “just because.”
“You sent hearts to cheer people up and let them know you’re thinking of them — because you cared,” Woll’s sister, Monica Woll Rosen, told attendees at a heartbreaking funeral service just before the 40-year-old was laid to rest.
Rosen also told a story about a friend who received birthday flowers sent by Woll on the day she was killed — one of her last acts before her tragic demise.
“Happy birthday! Wishing you many, many, many more. You are the greatest gift of all. Love always and forever,” read the attached card, which Woll had signed as being from her and 10 others.
“That was you, Sam,” Rosen said. “You didn’t even ask. You just sent flowers and signed 10 other people’s names because you knew it would make the receiver happy — and the others would have wanted to say happy birthday if they knew it was your birthday.”
The stories were only two in a parade of many told by the family, friends and colleagues who spoke at Woll’s funeral about her selfless nature, unending positivity and love for her fellow people.
Detroit police found Woll’s body at about 6:30 a.m. Saturday when they responded to a 911 call about an unresponsive person outside her home in the city’s Lafayette Park neighborhood, according to several reports.
They also reportedly found a trail of blood that led from the suspected crime scene to her residence.
But two days later, there is still frustratingly little information about who murdered Woll — a politically connected activist who worked on several politicians’ campaigns — or why they did it.
Authorities have warned against jumping to conclusions, or assuming that her killing had anything to do with the burgeoning conflict between Israel and Hamas terrorists.
Detroit Police Chief James E. White said in an email that while cops are investigating, there is no evidence so far to suggest her killing her was motivated by antisemitism.
“I again ask the community to remain patient while our investigators and law enforcement partners continue their work,” White said in the statement Sunday. “Everything that can be done to bring this matter to closure is being called into service.”
Cops have promised another update Monday.
Woll had led the Isaac Agree Downtown Detroit Synagogue since 2022 and previously worked for Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin and on the re-election campaign of Attorney General Dana Nessel, both Democrats, the Detroit Free Press reported.
“Detroit Police Chief James E. White said in an email that while cops are investigating, there is no evidence so far to suggest her killing her was motivated by antisemitism.”
You’re brain dead if you believe that. The squad caused this. Every last one of them should be removed from office and the muslim members deported.
We don’t know enough yet to blame antisemitism. It would be one of the obvious possible motives given our current world but don’t forget this occurred in a crime ridden, democrat run, shithole city.. Don’t rule out black violence just yet.
The media’s complete bias is really showing. They jumped all over Hamas propaganda, that Isreal was to blame for the bombing of a hospital that killed over 500 people. Which was only 10 to 40 people in a parking lot next door to hospital. and the rocket was one from hamas. But when a Jew is murdered and stabbed to death they have to make sure they wait and find out all information before coming to a conclusion. The msm and Democratic party’s antisemitism is on full display for everyone to see. Only a complete ignorant fool, or more like low IQ cultists leftist couldn’t see this obvious bias.
Prayers for comfort for this sweet lady’s family and friends. Senseless and tragic. I also pray that the person(s) that did this are found and jailed as soon as possible.
If she voted for democrat anti-crime/anti-incarceration policies, she fucked around and found out.
I hope they find the scumbag and hang him from the top of his mosque.
