I am familiar with the statistics. I also understand that the evidence in this case is pointing to the boyfriend. However, this is a very good opportunity to point out that this is the biggest reason that most providers have a screening process. Yes, we do screen for other reasons, but avoiding the psychos is the most important. Put yourself on the other end of the situation. Would you want to meet with a strange man in private, sometimes in your home, if he wouldn't even tell you his last name??? I don't think so. Besides, why would one even call a provider that they can't trust with a little personal information??
I'm pretty sure she came to Atlanta once, on a tour.
June 20, 2003 -- Cops yesterday were hunting for the killer of a pretty 19-year-old Nigerian woman found savagely stabbed to death in her Upper East Side apartment, as new details emerged about the victim. Ifeyinwa Ikechukwu, who was found dead at about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday in her fourth-floor apartment at 60th Street and First Avenue, allegedly worked as an escort, and advertised her services in newspapers, including the Village Voice, police sources said.
The voluptuous victim, who worked under the name "Tiffany," also advertised on an adult Web site, the sources said.
But Ikechukwu - stabbed repeatedly in the chest and throat - was "trying to go legit" and become a model or an actress, a source said.
Several private modeling photographs were found in the $2,000-a-month apartment, which had been ransacked.
Police have already talked to the man who reported her missing, but he's not a suspect, they said.
Ikechukwu, who moved to the city about a month ago, was last seen Saturday night by her doorman at the Bridge Suite Apartments, cops said.
The victim, who emigrated to the United States in 1994, "had vicious fights with her boyfriend at all hours of the night," according to a neighbor.
"It was just very violent," said the woman, who asked not to be identified.
Just another reason that people trying to schedule appointments need to bear with a provider's screening process. I have received several calls in the past few weeks from guys that don't want to give any information. Because of a few close calls I've had in the past, my policy is safety first.
As a provider, I mourn the passing of this lady. Although I never knew her, she seemed to have been a classy and intelligent woman. I'm sure that she will be missed!!!
Erring on the side of caution may have a double meaning here. Please don't delude yourself that extraordinarily vigerous screening equates to safty. The vast majority of murders are not committed by strangers, but purpatrators know to the victim, and early indications in this case are consistant with that statistic as the boy friend, not a client, is the leading suspect. There seems to be profound truth in the statement about not worrying about your enemies harming you as much as your friends.

My point was missed...which was the need to be vigilant on all fronts all the time...and the potential for a false sense of security if being overly focused on the front door allows someone to come in the back door...I've had experience, I'd been shot at during an armed robbery in the most unlikely place, but because of the advice I've tried to share with you (and God's blessing), it was the shooter that fled and I'm here making posts. The spent bullets are harmlessly resting in APD's evidence locker instead of my body only because I didn't focus all my resources on the most obvious risks.
