I recently discovered that the Choir Director of Trinity Church of Chicago, Barack Obama's former church, was murdered just before Christmas, 2007. I also discovered that news of this murder is disappearing.
First, here's a summary, by KOAM-TV, Chicago, of the murder by a site that, as of today, still posts the story @ http://www.koamtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=7540623:
CHICAGO (AP) - Authorities are investigating the death of the choir director of the Chicago church where presidential contender Barack Obama is a member.
Donald Young was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds Sunday in his apartment on the city's South Side.
His funeral will be Thursday.
Reverend Jeremiah Wright at Trinity United Church of Christ says Young was well-loved by the congregation. He says Young taught fourth grade and was planning to attend graduate school to become a school principal.
The story is also posted at these sites:
- ABC7 Chicago @ http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local&id=5854125
- Fox News @ http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,318267,00.html
Here are links that have since been pulled:
- Google News: Donald Young Dies
- ChicagoTribune.com: Teacher Found Slain in His South Shore Apartment Video (December 25, 207)
- The Associated Press: Chicago Choir Conductor Found Slain (December 25, 207)
- Chicago Sun-Times: South Side Church Choir Director Killed (December 25, 207)
Why? Why would news orgs pull links to stories about the murder of the choir director at the most famous church of this election season? Why has there been no follow-up to this? Doesn't it make sense to take a harder look at the murder of a member of the church of Barack Obama?
I'm not one for conspiracy theories but it's a fact Donald Young was murdered and it's a fact that news of this murder is disappearing.
Why?
