There is a growing unease in Upper Chichester Township this morning.
Last night more than a hundred friends, family and neighbors gathered outside the house of Dana Felts, who was brutally stabbed to death by an intruder Tuesday night.
It was the second violent incident in as many days in the normally tranquil township.
Earlier this week an 83-year-old man was tied up and brutally beaten in his home.
The incidents have left longtime residents on edge.
It’s also got them looking over their shoulder. Most believe these incidents likely involve someone they know.
“It’s disgusting,” one person said at last night’s vigil. “Somebody knows something and I think it’s best if someone comes forward.”
Police do not believe the two incidents are linked. Maybe it’s just a sign of the times.
One theory making its way around the neighborhood is that Felts recently had a good day at the casino and that robbery was the motive.
That also seems to lean toward the suspect being someone who knew her.
Let’s hope police make an arrest in both these incidents soon. And Upper Chichester can get back to their quiet lives.
If that’s possible.
