I know Isaac and he was half black. RR you're just an ignorant fool spewing hate.

Do you have any positive comments ever to say?

I dont understand exactly what your talking about, but what does this have to do at all with illegal immigrants? Regardless if your praising them or putting them down, this particular case has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with illegal immigration. Choose the proper time and place, a poor girl just got murdered and her body was dumped.

Great comment i never thought of that but come to think of it that is something the police should investigate.

Condolences to the friends and family of this poor victim and it goes to show you VIOLENCE AND MURDERERS ARE EVERYWHERE you cant just criticize and run. It is all our responsibility to help in any way we can.

I am glad he got caught. It is very disturbing, I used to to know this guy a few years ago. I would have never thought he was capable of something like this. We should all be careful of who we let in our house.

Caught in Minnesota! He was definitely on the run. This Isaac Campbell guy worked out all the time at the LA FITNESS in Alhambra, It wasn't until my friend showed me a headline on a news paper and we saw his wanted photo on the front page. He stood out in the gym because he was always one of those loud guys that would grunt and yell when he worked out, It was funny at first but we got used to it. If Liya went missing on Aug.11 & found Sep.15, That means he was still going to the gym because I seen him on sep 10.....U never know who you are working out next to.

Just to throw it out there...I wonder if "STEROIDS" played a part in this because he was getting pretty big within a matter of months....Hmmmmm.

it's a whole different kind of crime. nobody worries that this guy's cronies are going to kill any witnesses. I guess it's not the immigrants that are doing all the killing. wow. a white person who commited a murder. there must be some logical explanation for this. we all know white americans aren't animals like the illegal immigrants. yeah he killed a girl...but at least he paid his taxes.

Arcadia is like day and night difference compared to Los Angeles, most years there are no homicides in Arcadia. When a woman like this is killed the first suspect is the husband/boyfriend. The cops did not need the community involvement to solve this crime. I'm sure the first thing they did was look for this woman's husband/boyfriend. And when the boyfriend all of sudden is in Minnesota the cops went quickly looking for him.


I'm glad they got this guy!

What a contrast compared to south LA....... in the SGV, people help the police find murderers.
