Grisly details regarding the murder of Joan Galligan in Glen Ridge only leave more questions. From the New York Times:
A woman found dead this week at her Glen Ridge, N.J., home with a bag over her face died from a blow to the head and suffocation, an investigator said yesterday.
The investigator, who did not have authorization to speak publicly about the case and thus did not want to be named, said that the police were still trying to determine the exact time of death, and whether the woman, Joan E. Galligan, 58, was hit first and then suffocated, or vice versa.
Alan Cullinan, Ms. Galligan's brother and a former New York City police officer, said he did not think robbery was the motive for the killing. "You don't put a bag over someone's head if you're going to rob the house," he said. "It's either a crime of passion or it was an intentional murder."
The police have not said what they think the motive might have been.
I think the word you want is 'grisly,' not 'grizzly.' Unless a bear was somehow involved ...

Cause of Death Determined but when will they have a suspect? Another 10 years?
