studio B
Molly Burkett, 21, was found dead from strangulation on Saturday morning in Studio B, a recording studio on the sixth floor of a downtown Chicago building.
There was evidence that she had ascended the dilapidated fire escape using a Forever 21 belt as a climbing rope, and jimmied open the window using a Cactus Flower bangle bracelet. The red orb around her neck appeared highly valuable, and police were baffled that it hadn’t been stolen, but a standard jewelry appraisal revealed it was purchased for 50 cents from a child’s machine in Kroger.
The following images were found on a Canon digital camera at the scene. It seems the victim took several fashion photos of herself inside the studio before the attack took place. When questioned Sunday afternoon, Studio B owner and equipment manager Jake Nelson said, “Serves her right for touching my bass.” Co-owner Kyle Tidd, who moonlights as an art curator, added, “Those photos are a joke. She’s just ripping off Who Killed Amanda Palmer.” Both men are being held for further questioning.

Hahaha Kyle. You’re my favorite! Even if, no especially BECAUSE, you are suspected of my murder.
On the photos that appeared in Ms. Burkett’s blog, Tidd was later overheard stating “This looks like a lawsuit in the making.” Nelson could not be reached for comment.

It makes me happy that this is the way you let me know you arrived home safely.
