to krissysoto: If this kid was passed out drunk/sleeping, why didn’t your brother just rob his apt and just leave? Why did he have to kill him? What kind of an animal punches someone and strangles/smothers them in their sleep? I think your brother should be shown the same mercy he showed this kid. What did this kid ever do to your brother? Kill someone for a cell phone and ipod? so sad.
September 2, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Reply to KrissySoto. How can you defend your brother for murder. Why kill him if he was asleep? Why be mad at your father and grandmother? Your mother raised him to be a menace. If I said and talked to my mom and dad like that I would lose some teeth. Your brother is a murderer without a soul. It looks like you and your brother don’t have hearts. So what if Kevin did drugs and was gay he did not deserve to die like that. He had a promising future and your brother took it away. This should have been a great year for Kevin and his little brother and now it is full of sadness. I pray for the family Kevin and I hope his killer goes away for a very long time.
September 2, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Kevin was an amazing person, he did not deserve to die.. he deserved to live, he made life a little bit better for those who knew him, he brought smiles to people’s faces. he was a good soul, an amazing person, and one we will never forget and one we will always miss.. life won’t be same without him here… may he rest in peace. i love you Kevin!
this is a tragedy, that monster should rot in jail.
September 2, 2008 at 8:05 pm
I pray for the victim’s family. Like most of the previous writers I can’t understand the need to kill an sleeping man. Jeromie is just a cold person….. I don’t know what KrissySoto wrote but I don’t see how anyone can defend this guy.
September 2, 2008 at 8:44 pm
It’s a sad tragedy for Kevin…what he was looking for or the fact that he was gay has nothing to do with the point that Cancel is a cold blooded ignorant piece of crap. I really wish i saw what krissysoto had to say…cuz i got something to say to her about her rotten twisted bloodline…
Cancel should be made an example out of and put to death… he brings nothing positive or beneficial to this world…just like with an apple tree, if there’s a bad apple, you pick it and crush it and throw it away.
…so have a painful rapey good time in prison, cancel!!!
and rest in peace Kevin…
September 2, 2008 at 11:01 pm
I’m not sure what his sister wrote but people shouldn’t attack her like that. of course she’s going to defend her brother. he’s her brother. Any of us would do the same. This Cancel guy clearly needs help and psychiatric help. Kevin should have been more careful.
I’m not saying he deserved it because no one deserves that but first of all he shouldn’t have been looking for drugs, secondly he shouldn’t have brought him to his house, thirdly he shouldn’t have fallen asleep.
This is just a really sad case of humanity at its worst. But killing him won’t make it any better. He can’t learn from his mistakes if he’s dead.
I think everyone just needs to take this as a lesson to be careful and look out for each other.
note from blog owner
The comment from the *sister* was very illiterate and hard to read. And very rude and immature. It is not that people were necessarily upset that a sister defended her brother (theoretically) but the manner it was done. It was very offensive. If people are going to comment, it should be readable. This comment was not.
September 3, 2008 at 2:49 am
Kevin,
Bro, I am at a loss for words man. What happened makes me sick and terribly sad. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out, and I pray for justice. There is nothing we can say or do to bring you back. It is my hope that your name be carried on and you never to be forgotten. Your killer will do his time. I am believing you are in heaven. Please-let this be a warning to all. SO many people do the exact same thing all over-not just Manhattan, but the world. There are sick, twisted, mentally demon controlled people in this world.
Jesus, I pray you be with us all.
Amen.
September 3, 2008 at 4:22 am
olpisthewaytobe,
For one, if you dont know what his sister wrote, how are you to know she shouldnt be ‘attacked’ for it? Doesnt matter is he was her brother or not, and its OT the case ‘Any of us’ would do the same! His father isnt! Its even more sad you were defend a relative if even proven of wrong doing. Whats this nonsense of ‘he shouldnt of been doing this, and he shouldnt of been doin that..? If a relative of yours was struck by a bus,dragged violently then ran over again, how would YOU feel if i turned around and said…well, they shouldnt of been jay walking…? Dont try to sound senseable, and come off as if ‘everyone just needs to take this as a lesson’ What we can learn from this is the need for a death penalty, if not worse. Alot of what you typed in nonsense.
September 3, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Ok
#1. How does anyone know that comment was REALLY from Cancels sister? (hasnt anyone learned that identity on the internet is easiest place to fake it) If anything it was a 13 yr old getting a rise. I only say cause it is evoking such harsh feelings; it would be best to verify the identity first cause otherwise your just the butt of someones joke…
#2. I think Cancel is a monster as everyone else does and i hope he rotts in prison as well. But whats up with all the rape comments? Ive never been to prison, but in college i had an externship one semester in a Max Prison and im telling you that people in prison dont rape and pillage every inmate that walks thru the door. So your “gaurentees” of “beatings and rapings” might not come true (espicially if this kids a real thug (sometimes they respect that))
#3. I know its a tragedy but holy moly: this kid is too drunk to get home & gets stuffed into a cab; he is this skinny kid who dosent look threatening at all; decides to loiter in union square park looking for drugs (i do not doubt that fact) and then finds a homless man who he lets up into his appartment and then subsequently FALLS ASLEEP?!?!?!? That gets a big fat 0 in street smarts. Absolute ZERO. hasent anyone learned that, as the poilce have stated, a “crime of oppertunity” will present itself in circumstances like this. I mean when i was in college girls were afraid to walk (even on the campus) at night. This kid should of realized that NYC can be safe, but as well extremley dangerous even in the well partoled areas and that his circumstances were exponentially raising his chances to be a target. And unfortunatley it happened.
note from blog owner
No, there is no evidence that the removed comment really was his sister, and I don’t believe it was myself.
September 3, 2008 at 12:28 pm
I also did not get to see the sister’s comment but also like to find some understanding of her trying to protect her brother. I applaud the blog owner for removing her entry though if indeed her writings where nasty, rude and immature.
New York, just like the rest of the country, has issues to deal with that challenge the lives of everyone, whether they’re gay, young, elderly, handicapped, etc. It is still a great city to live in and this city has so much to offer that outweigh the risks by a large margin. To say Kevin should have been more careful is easier said, as most of us should remember the time(s) in our lives, having drunk far too much and lost any inhibition towards any sort of risk. The false sense of security Kevin may have had moving just weeks ago in to this city will not justify what has happened to him. His murderer is simply a very deranged individual (I will not use his name as he does not deserve any sort of recognition from my end).
The larger issue is, that we have raised young adults that have a sense of “entitlement” to demand or take things from others without having to earn it the old fashion way. The killer probably realized that Kevin was gay, saw an easy victim and went for it (also a machismo attitude towards a girly and drunk individual that poses a low risk to try to defend himself).
I can not believe that the drug argument has a leg to stand on, as no drugs seem to have been found at the scene. The “gay-rage” defense has also no bearing in this case, as the victim was clothed, asleep and very drunk. Case and point: if he felt threatened, then why would he hang around and watch a movie after his deed? This kid went there for one purpose only: to rob Kevin and then took it to another level when he strangled him.
Why he had to kill a comatose kid is anyone’s guess. He probably does not know himself. All we know right now is that he seems to have no sense of value or respect for someone else’s life. As a society, we should no longer take the “wrong upbringing” as a quick defense. Parents, and sometimes the siblings, of such idiots must take some responsibility for the upbringing and at the end the behavior of their loved ones. If the killer’s sister made any defensive comments in her post, then why was she not intervening when her brother started misbehaving? She ought to consider her responsibility in not influencing her sibling straying from acceptable behavior to become the ultimate scumbag on earth. Broken homes; tough upbringing; lack of attention; abuse; etc. can not be an excuse for killing, ever.
My hearth goes to the Pravia family, his friends and colleagues as we all where robed of seeing him develop in to a productive member of society. Regardless if he was gay or not, he had a full life of opportunities ahead of him that one slime bucket decided to snuff out for the lousy gain of a laptop, cell phone and an i-pod.
This scum, that no longer is a productive member of society, has now become a burden to all of us as we will have to clothe, house, feed and protect him for years to come. Sadly, he continues to have the opportunity to see and communicate with his family and friends. A privilege he so easily was able to take from someone else, without a second thought (and with a cocky smile on TV to boot). As a death penalty opponent, these are the times where I question whether there are indeed moments where a death penalty is appropriate.
September 3, 2008 at 1:02 pm
hansnyc…
I would beg to differ on your view of the “drug” theory just becasue no drugs were found in the appartment. I dont know if your from NYC but union square park is notorious for drug peddling, especially at night (about 10 years ago it was day & night but there are considerably more officers in the past couple of years)
Im not saying Cancel was a drug dealer. What im saying is this kid probably wanted drugs and was asking to those “sitting around” (as Cancel was as a homless man), and then Cancel probably replied “ok let me call the dude and/or i will sell it to you at your place” (what leads me to think he had to “call his man” is the fact that the kid passed out (waiting presumedly)) becuase what other logical reason would a kid at 6am be doing with a complete stranger in a basic “tourist drug zone” taking him up to his appartment where eventually he was going to pass out? The only other logical connection would be his homosexuality but something tells me that Cancel wouldnt of accepted that offer, even if he wanted to steal his stuff that badly….
I know eveyone wants to think of this kid as a sweet person, which even i will assume he is. But if any individual of age is going to “experiment” with drugs its college kids (especially freshman & sophmores), and if your a lower manhattan college student and you dont know anyone personally either 42nd, 34th or 14th will be the place to go on the street to ask and more likley get a response (wether they are going to rob you or acutally sell you drugs)
so this coulpled with this kids lack of street smarts leaves me to think that if he truly was aware, hed see the signs. n
Now your argument of kids getting wasted and “los[ing] any inhibition towards any sort of risk” as a norm of youth…. i respond that survival of the fittest will dictate that most of the drunk kids, notwithstanding their lack of “risk awareness” will not do what kevin did. Im sorry not eveyone gets wasted and do things like that.
Who i really feel sorry for is the 19yr old who got decapitated by that asian man on the Canadian Greyhound bus, he couldnt of done anything but just sleep like he did (thats random violence at its worst). But i feel like if this kid just had an ounce of genuine expierence with getting drunk or how criminals behave (esp. in a city) he would of thought twice before he went out on the streets of manhattan and invited a murderer into his house…
September 3, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Jim jones…
Point well taken. I do life here in the city for approx. 25 years. I also have lived years ago very close to union square on 16th street on the east side but I, and a lot of people that I knew, where not doing drugs just because we lived near union square and crossed it night and day. Living in Chelsea, a more convenient place to score drugs I would think, would have been Washington Square Park. But that is neither here nor there. Regardless, whether he did drugs or not, he did not deserve to die.
Look, any new kid moving to the city, or anywhere else for that matter, will be exposed to a lot of issues these days. If it’s not mugging and murder, it’s drugs, VD’s or many other issues. Getting drunk till you almost pass out is surely not a “responsible” way to get adjusted in a strange city. That should also not give any slime bucket the opportunity to go out, seek a victim and kill. Just because a young girl wears a mini skirt and has a drink or two, does not mean she is asking to be raped.
I have no intentions to make Kevin look an angel, as I do not know all the details, but I will not start finding a reason why he deserved this. Sure, asking this strange kid to go to his apartment leaves a lot of questions unanswered. We do not know if indeed it was drugs or if the killer was hustling because he was kicked out by his father and looked to make some money. We’ll see, but I do not rule anything out.
I guess the lesson for the younger crowd is to be vigilant. When they move to a new town or city, they need to be careful, explore their surroundings prior to getting wasted and most of all: don’t go out there on your own until you really know what is around in these places.
September 3, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Whether or not whatever left the removed comment was related to this bipedal thing, both of them are complete trash. As for “trying to protect” whatever this is, it is unworthy of ANY such – even its own father has justly written it off. Whether this poor boy Kevin Pravia’s motives were to get some kind of buzz and/or have sex with something he knew not to be a vomitable waste of earthly resources and full functionality of the Terran humanoid life form, he did not DESERVE to be killed to death by that thing. The only palpable difference between him and the people here rabbiting on in the most wild and unfounded speculations and conclusions about someone they do NOT know in the slightest, who doubtless have got their own laundry list of Poor Choices Made, is that they’re still living and breathing and functioning in despite thereof. That qualifies them not one iota to say who Kevin Pravia was or what he would/should have done, especially that far-off-course J. Jones who sounds like he’s trying to float a script of some kind [although he certainly was on point about the Greyhound bus horror]. All of you who have done so need to climb down off that low-horse damn-him-with-faint-sympathy holier-than-he attitude, hiding behind online anonymity from exposure of your own foolish behaviors that no doubt would command in their turn the kind of smarmy self-aggrandized posturings posted here masquerading as Thoughtful Insights. Condolences to the grieving Pravias and their nearest/dearest, and sympathy to the family of this most hideously appropriately named Cancel, whose fault it is not that a twisted degenerate shell of an inhuman sprouted from their family tree – and my most earnest prayer that steps are taken swiftly to ensure that this pathetic thing’s fate does true justice to its dirty bloody name.
September 3, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Kevin was one of my true best friends since we met in 6th grade. He always made my day and put a smile on my face. Kevin was always up for a good time and loved the crazy excitement of NYC. Yes that was a poor choice to talk to a stranger (and ask for drugs) and invite him over, but kevin never judged anyone. It didnt matter who you were or what you looked like he saw beyond that and always saw good in people, not the bad. As for Jeromie Cancel i hope you rot in prison, because you killed one of the all around best friends that one could ever ask for in a lifetime.
September 3, 2008 at 6:49 pm
My heart and prayers go out to the family of this young man. This world has become such an evil place and it seems that there are SO many young people dying at the hands of freaks like this killer. We must pray for our nation because prayer is the only hope we have. Young people…… please be careful!!! A mothers worst fear is for something like this to happen.
September 3, 2008 at 6:59 pm
I met Kevin just one time, and talked to him for a few weeks. He really was a smart, happy, genuinely nice kid. I read this story with shock and disbelief. He will be missed deeply.
September 3, 2008 at 9:54 pm
I didn’t know Kevin very well but I did meet him several times and see him around town a lot. He was very close friends with my neighbor and I know that he was an amazing person. He always seemed to me like the “perfect person.” He was an amazing friend, athlete, student, son, and brother. When I first learned of his death I was stunned. I can not, for the life of me, figure out what kind of sick person would do something like this to poor Kevin. I don’t think that Jeromie Cancel deserves to keep his own life, but that’s just me. If he gets anything short of a life sentence I will be extremely upset.
Kevin, you were a beautiful soul and I’m so sorry that this had to happen to you. I don’t know the Pravia family personally but I would like to take this opportunity to offer them my love and support through this difficult time. You truly were robbed of your wonderful son and I wish life were more fair so that Kevin would still be with you.
Also, for anyone who is making negative comments regarding Kevin’s sexuality or lifestyle, I find you to be extremely ignorant and I am very offended by your comments. If you are going to say something negative why even bother saying it? Don’t you understand how many grieving people are going to see what you have written? Please, have a heart and keep your negative comments to yourself.

I also did not see what his sister wrote but whatever it was has been deleted due to being offensive. So why aren’t the other posts being deleted. The ones with offensive language and material that don’t mean anything other than to bash the sister? I am not defending her in anyway, although as someone stated above, if she is in fact his sister of course she’s going to defend him. I would just like to see your offensive behavior rule apply to everyone here.
note from blog owner
Melissa,
Unfortunately I am not on here 24 hours and can’t catch them all very quickly. I have a job and don’t have time to work on my blog at the same time. And I have over 200 comments a day to go through, so it can be quite time consuming. But I will be removing the offensive comments as soon as I can.
September 4, 2008 at 9:31 am
People make sick and stupid comments because they can hide behind a computer. I’m 47 and come from an era where if you said this to someone’s face you’d get punched or worse. The computer has enabled every moron with an opinion to leave insensitive remarks about accident and murder victims. I think they get a sexual thrill when they see it printed as they probably can’t get it up in a real situation. There is a huge lack of compassion these days especially in younger people. I see it every day. I was lucky to have been raised by my grandparents, parents who are even my age have hard time instilling human decency in their children. I am almost at the point of not reading these blogs anymore, they leave me angry and hating the general public. Kevin whether gay or straight didn’t deserve to die like this. The sad part is his killer will probably languish on death row for 10 years before they execute him.
September 4, 2008 at 9:43 am
And in case you didn’t notice yet, the comment left by Rozz is pretty illiterate and unreadable so why is that one still here?
September 4, 2008 at 9:51 am
Melissa,
I am sorry that I can’t get to them as quick as you like. I have removed that comment, and before you left your comment. Unless you want to pay my wages so I can quit, sometimes it takes time to go through over 200+ comments a day. I do the best I can.
Both of those users have been banned.
September 4, 2008 at 10:06 am
Bonnie,
Obviously I don’t know you personally so there would be no way for me to know you worked a regular job as well. I appreciate your fast response in light of the fact that you are busy but I think you could have handled it without the sarcasm.
September 4, 2008 at 11:01 am
why not try and focus on something else? One of the main problems in this world is people trying to tell other people what to do, and how to run their business. I agree with Bonnie. Unless you would like to pay her wages so she can closely MONITER every asshole that leaves a comment, I suggest you let it go or move on. Too many crimes and problems in this world to listen to unnessary, immature bitching.
September 4, 2008 at 11:04 am
Kevin:
I don’t know you, but I want to wish you peace. May God bless you and watch over your family and friends.
Kevin’s family: My deepest sympathies.
September 4, 2008 at 12:38 pm
I never said that you were.. I have problems with people who get on here and start telling Bonnie what to do. I am not immature just stating facts.
September 4, 2008 at 12:49 pm
For the last time, I did not tell Bonnie what to do. I only said if there is going to be a rule about being offensive then it should apply to everyone. I did not know Bonnie only did this blog on a part time basis and was not trying to “be smart”. I apologize Bonnie if it seemed I was being difficult.
September 4, 2008 at 2:26 pm
I’ve went though and read a bunch of comments and just want to say one thing about them, we dont really know what really happened. We are going by what the killer has told the police, people are calling kevin stupid because he was buying drugs, yet no drugs were found, they are saying he was stupid for letting the guy into his house, yet sources say he was drunk and had to be helped into a taxi, whos to say what really went on, you NEVER KNOW. i don’t think anyone will ever know the exact details. BUT i do know that this guy who took Kevins life deserves to rot in hell for what he did. Kevin had a bright future and many people that loved him, including myself. I dont care if this guy has mental issues, he deserves to suffer for all the suffering he is putting all kevins family and friends though.
I don’t understand how some of you people can come onto these websites and post negative things about someone who has just died. That is disrespectful to his family and friends, they too come on here to read things because it makes you feel a little better to see all the lives he has touched, and to rip that apart and say awful things about him just disgusts me.
AND i pray to god that kevins killer is in jail for LIFE, trying to pull the “im sorry im insane and need medicine” should not be able to work. He laughed about it and had a big smile on his face, now YES hes crazy but he still deserves to suffer for the rest of his pointless life.
September 4, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Melissa, I’m 35 yrs old. Woman enough to apologize to you for calling you a bitch. Sorry, but I ALWAYS got my girls’ back, Bonnie and Lavonna, always. Even though you started it (how elementary) I still apologize.
September 4, 2008 at 2:33 pm
disgusted,
Good post. Good points.
September 4, 2008 at 4:39 pm
i just came back from Kevin’s wake. It was the most awful thing i’ve ever been to in my life. Seeing his family there made me want to hug them and never let go, which i tried to do the best i could. Kevin, you were a great kid. This has left me traumatized for life.
September 4, 2008 at 5:39 pm
It all spawns from bad parenting. All Cancel’s father had to say about it was “You don’t just take somebody’s life like that, he deserves what he gets.” What kind of moron of a father says that about his son murdering somebody. Duh you don’t somebody’s life like that! How can he not care that his son just threw his life away. He obviously didn’t know how to be a father, because if he did, I’m sure his maniac son wouldn’t of done this in the first place. It sucks Pravia made the horrible intoxicated decision of bringing a stranger to his new apartment in a new city. Who knows, if any of us were really drunk and in a good mood, we might’ve done the same.
“Mistakes of the greats / This is what came from their pain / From their hurt we gain / An unfair exchange”
September 4, 2008 at 6:36 pm
*sigh, i don’t want to make it seem like all there is to do is judge at this point. Fact of the matter is…..we all have to be SOOO careful when we’re out partying. Anything can happen at any given time. 1 bad decision and that’s your ass. Please people…handle your drugs RESPONSIBLY and be CAREFUL!!! God bless.

Just a FYI to those who are offended about the speculation talk and open discussions about Kevins murder…
Im not speaking for Bonnie… but this is “BONNIES BLOG OF CRIME”… That leads me to assume its a open dicussion about crime, in which anyone who has any degree in criminology or law will know that when you talk about this stuff (espically in the early investigatory phases) there will be alot of SPECULATION and alot of WHAT IF’s and matters of POLICY DICUSSION of how people should or could conduct themselves better in accordance with the law…
If this were a funeral site blog or the facebook.com site that the Pravia family set up then i could understand the “why are you talking abou this” or “respect the wishes and condolences for the Pravia family” comments… but to tell you as a Bonnies Blog of Crime reader… Kevins murder today will be replaced by another heinous crime tomorrow next week etc etc…
I know it can be hard and emtional for those to bear it thats why only a select few who are educated and can tolerate this stuff are employed as police, crime scene investigators, lawyers etc… So from a stricly professional and acedemic level–to those who are so offended and this “light-speak” of Kevins tragedy–dont come here… dont read these posts and just dont hurt yourself… im discussing these issue in the manner i do because i am not only intrigued in finding out the truth but to also find out the crux of the issues to better understand to make this a better place for us to live…. unfortunatley it is “US” that makes it a bad place to begin with so its a paradox that truly is a daunting task.
I apologize in formality to anyone im offending here but it will not stop my posts… this is Bonnies Blog of Crime.. and when Bonnie tells me that i cant talk about crime anymore… ill go somewhere else…for all other please if this stuff really offends you that badly dont come here….
September 5, 2008 at 11:25 am
Hindsight is always 20-20. It is sad that one o fhis friends didn’t take him home in that condition. This whole thing is a tragedy. Any big city has predators so even if sober people be aware of who and what is around you at all times. Don’t be paranoid just aware. If drinking try to stay with friends. This maniac Cancel deserves lethal injection although I’d like to put him a cell with another killer and give them both knives so they can suffer what the victim went through. Us taxpayers will spend a million dollars on this cipher before he is executed. It will probably take ten years as well to kill this waste of skin and air space.
September 5, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Jim Jones,
Just a note here.
Kevins murder today will be replaced by another heinous crime tomorrow next week etc etc…
Not exactly true. I continually research cases and post updates when I find them. Until justice is served, I do not close the door on a murder.
September 5, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Mylifeofcrime,
Maybe i didnt make my point clear enough:
What i meant was is that these types of crimes happen all the time…and will continue in the future. This blog posts these crimes and people discuss them. All i am pointing out is that this stuff happens all the time, nothing more. I was not suggesting that Kevins murder story will “wash away” 9(i perhaps should not have used the word “replaced” (but you can put every murder as the coverstory)) i am making the point that this blog dicussses crimes and is not here primairly to console the families of the victims.. correct me if i am wrong.
September 5, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Jim,
I did understand what you were saying. I just didn’t want people to think I forget people after the “initial high profile” part of the case. Plus, alot that I post is not even high profile cases. Because every single victim counts.
September 6, 2008 at 5:14 pm
that piece of shit ” cancel ” should burn the fuck in hell! i don’t give a shit what he was buying or what he was doing he didn’t have 2 die like that. It dosen’t say they found drugs. I really hope that piece of shit has a HARD time in jail picking up that soap. He deserves to suffer and get a plastic bag stuffed down his throat over and over and over again.. god dont like ugly he will get his dosen’t have to be today tomorrow or next month but he will and his sister needs to shut the fuck up
have a nice dayyy bye

Nicole,

September 11, 2008 at 8:58 pm
As a life long New Yorker, like everyone else, I was saddend & disgusted by Kevin’s murder. It makes me recall the Mark Fisher murder in Brooklyn back in 2003– white, suburban honors student who finds his way with the wrong people, & in the wrong place at the wrong time. Mark’s only crime that night was drinking a bit much & liking a certain girl, which resulted in him ending up in Bklyn with a very shady crew. There are similarites in these two cases.
To Kevin’s family & friends, I wish you all the best in getting thru this. By the many comments written, it’s obvious that kev had a loving effect on many people.
My thoughts & prayers go out to all.
so sad….
September 16, 2008 at 2:27 pm
The facts are as plain as day!!!
1) Kevin last logged onto myspace on 9/1. Suggesting that after he was dead, someone went into his laptop (YEA, WHO DO YOU THINK) and may have deleted evidence that the two of them had spoken before.
2) Jeromie CAncel’s myspace has 1 friend. That 1 friend, is him. it’s what ppl use to contact him when they want “services”
3) Whatever happened to the building surveillence tapes???????? Did Kevin and Jeromie walk into the buiding together? OR….DID KEVIN COME HOME ALONE AND THEN LET JEROMIE IN LATER?
I think..that Jeromie was a drug dealer who was contacted via myspace.
I think Jeromie lied about him meeting KEvin in Union Square.
I think Jeromie tried to rob Kevin from the jump, there was a struggle which led to him knocking Kevin out.
I think Jeromie was scared of being ratted out by Kevin, so he stole everything he could that linked the two together.
And I bet, that Jeromie went back to kill Kevin because he didnt want to get caught.
I don’t care what you say..nobody coming from Kevin’s affluent upbringing (drunk or not) would go to a park, meet a scrubby ass bum and take them home!!!!!

Jesus said “you must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven” (John 3:3) and Jesus is the “Way, the Truth and the Life” (John 14:6) “and that no one comes to the Father but through Jesus Christ.” Do you have a personal relationship with your God Jesus Christ who came in the flesh to be sacrificed for our sins. This murder is an example of the extreme sin and evil that exists in this world and only through Jesus Christ’s atoning work on the cross are we set free from it. Not on this earth which is corrupt, but when we enter our eternal home which is the Kingdom of Heaven with our Creator God. Jesus says “If you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved..” (Romans 10:9)
