Detroit police say they've identified several people of interest in synagogue president's killing

CNN

DETROIT (AP) — Investigators say they have identified several people of interest in the fatal stabbing of a Detroit synagogue president.

Authorities found 40-year-old Samantha Woll’s body outside her home early Saturday. Detroit Police Chief James E. White said during a news conference Monday that Woll attended a wedding Friday night and left the event around 12:30 a.m. He says there was no sign that anyone forced their way into her home. He says investigators have identified a number of people of interest, but that they believe a suspect acted alone.

Woll led the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue. Police have repeatedly said they found no evidence that her killing was motivated by antisemitism.
