My condolences to the family and friends of Deborah. As a resident of the surrounding area where this occured, it is tragic to know that this happend without any criminals caught. I drive on this freeway daily and it is unfortunate to know that an innocent person died at the hands of evil. May God punish the murderer(s) who did this to one of ours. I hope they catch scum.

Oh please, you know how many of these murders occur in a decade. They never find the individual who is up in the hills with a rifle or riding in a car besides another when suddenly "POW," blood spurts, car careens and voila - tragedy is served up for the evening news. We watch it and someone says to themselves "Its just another day in LA\" thus removing the impetus for correction. I wish that all the murders would stop for a week. Just a week without people being murdered in LA.

This is a very disturbing incident, and possable the begining of serial incidents. Is the calaber of the bullet known? I feel it is important to know what type of gun was used pistol (car to car) or rifle (stationary with a scope).

There is a technology that would be useful that can idenitfy a gun shot and location from where it was fired. I would hope the CHP or LA County Sheriffs would be using this.

My heart goes out to Deborah's family. Someone must have seen something. This is absolute madness and damn senseless. Something is very wrong in our society. It's time to get rid of the 'PC' crap and go after these thugs, gangsters and murderers who commit these crimes. They must be eradicated. There is no other way for innocent law abiding citizens to survive.
