Woman found dead in area of rapes
More fear for East Baltimore where nine women have been attacked and raped near bus stops after police find a body of female in her 20s behind a convenience store on East Eager Street.
Police have been hunting for at least one rapist in connection with a string of attacks since Oct. 20. Some or all may be related. In this latest case, police are trying to match evidence from the body to determine if there is a link.
The body was found Tuesday about 4:30 p.m. in a grassy area. A cause of death has not been determined but police said the woman had been injured. Anyone with information about the body should call Baltimore police homicide unit at 410-396-2100. Anyone with information about the rapes should call 410-396-2076.

"At least he does something." Is the most common retort I recieve when I ask other prominent folks in Baltimore communities about you.
In the same breath, they usually mention that there is no local media.
I get more confused everyday, as a city resident, looking at this paper.
On one hand, you have editorials that only support the long term political party and suburbinzation, and on the other newer ciy residents, tax payers are without a voice.
This paper's stance remains 2nd half 20th century. If the city lowered its taxes, would GEN-Y and Gen Next move back here? Yes, In droves! This would have a positive affect for the city, crime, employment, schools outlook etc..
From what I can tell people think you really report on stuff. While I disagree, that is the majority opinion.
Ultimately, you have the ear. Statiscally you could do something. .i.e. why are cities being run with a change of party thriving (Boston, NYC)? Again, I believe a look at history and sociolgy would be benificial (you disagree).
Do you think the politics matter? What about the generations who want to live here and make a difference for all? How about telling us the obvious, that a very small geograhic population creates the majority of crime? What about the neighborhoods that rally, have citizens on patrol? What is your stance on city cops being paid less, but sucking up our budget on overtime?
Here we are in the midst of a trial for developer bribes, a budget hole, yet we are going to further pay off to the tune of $10+M for the Superblock project? This project is 10 years behind with little improvement, many taxes have been wasted for this and the one party this paper supports. supports.
Ultimately, shouldn't we be the bastion of everything that the DEMS promise by now? We have had a one party system longer than Cuba. In theroy we should be a model, but the Federal Government has to pick up our bills. We have high profile folks show up to community rallies, that you reported on 28+ times, but you don't mention that.
I have no idea what is going on at this paper. I do know if someone disagrees you will spend this paper's time attacking them.
Thankfully in my time I have changed at least a few opinions. Freedom of speach exists. Just not with you.
