    Default Stripper Murdered - Tempe, AZ

    According to my husband, they believe she was followed coming home from work at Skin's Cabaret in Scottsdale. Here's the article:

    Latest Tempe murder has police grasping for clues

    TEMPE - Police say they're still stumped as to why a young woman was murdered last week. She was found bleeding from her head and lying face down in a parking lot outside her apartment.

    Georgia Thompson's death Thursday was Tempe's third homicide of the year. The 19-year-old Skin Cabaret employee and Hooters waitress was found about 1 a.m. at the Saddle Club Apartment Homes, near Mill Avenue and U.S. 60.

    It was only a week after two other Tempe murders and took place within the same square mile. Police have few clues, no witnesses and little information on why Thompson died, said Detective Sue Schoville, who is leading the investigation.

    This is what they do know:

    Thompson came to Tempe in July from her hometown, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. She had aspirations of becoming a model, her family said.

    The afternoon before she died, she met a female friend at the Acme Roadhouse in Tempe. A surveillance camera caught an image of her. She was wearing the same orange T-shirt and jeans she had on when she was found outside her apartment, police said.

    After leaving the bar, she had gone to work at Skin, a Scottsdale topless bar. Just after midnight, she returned to Acme to get her car, police said. A bouncer remembers spotting her getting into her vehicle, investigators said.

    Thompson's family wasn't happy about her work in Arizona, her father said.

    "None of it is something you can make a dream out of for your child," Bill Thompson said of the sixth of his nine children.

    Police have ruled out robbery as a motive, Sgt. Dan Masters said. Thompson was found with her car keys and several shopping bags.

    Anyone with information can call Tempe police at (480) 350-8311 or leave anonymous information by calling (480) WITNESS.

    That is very sad. I really hope they find out who did this and they get what they deserve. AZ is really strict with prison sentences and believe me, if this asshole gets caught, (s)he WILL get what (s)he deserves.

    OMG this makes me feel even more unsafe coming home at night. I already feel a bit uneasy going from my car to my front door because of the layout of my place.

    BUT - how do they rule out robbery as a motive? She was a stripper just coming home from work, found with car keys and shopping bags but no cash? Where was the cash? Or did the cops take it?

    I think I'll make the drive to my new place after work tonight. Even though I'm always careful and watching for someone following me, you can never be sure.

    I hope they find the asshole. Poor girl.

    Ugh....I'm thinking serial killer too.

    You should all familiarize yourselves with where the police station or fire station is in the town you work in case you feel like someone is following you. I'm not incredibly confident in cops, but there is usually someone there 24-7. And the firemen are sweethearts.

    Anyone can be targeted. The press might make this out to be a person preying on young women, but it might just be an opportunistic killer, picking targets when he or she finds them or when the whim strikes.

    It is terrible - but also in Arizona you can get a concealed weapon permit or actually without a permit strap on a firearm to your hip( in plain view) - it may make them think twice - , it sounds as though they are going to kill you if they catch up with you which is not good at all . Be aware of where you park and your surroundings .In other words hang up the friggen phone and pay attention in the night , just my personal observation but people dont seem to have a clue or care about whats going on around them . Call me paranoid or prepared but I am always aware of whats going on around me as much as I can be .

    I agree with you CuriousJ 100%. Things happen when they are least expected, so by being prepared and paranoid you are protecting yourself. Just because your car is 200 feet from the front door doesn't make it safe to walk alone (or unarmed for that matter). First of all, dancers, bartenders, and waiters are a walking ATM machine when they get off from work and criminals know they carry cash on them. Second, while I think "self-defense" lessons are a good idea for women, in a way they may do more harm than good because we may be overly confident that we can protect ourself against an assailant. Unless your built like Chyna, most men are going to be stronger, faster, and more powerful than you; So if an assailant wants to get you and he's within 10 feet of you, then chances are he's already got you. A woman's most powerful weapon is her brain, she just has to use it.

    God bless her soul.

    Very scary, this does seem to be a very safe area. Strangely enough, this is the first I heard of it. If she was working at Motorola, it would be all over the news....
