What's bothering me

We had met at a friends house about 2 years ago. She was married to one of my friends relatives. There was nothing remarkable, just one of those people you meet throughout your life. I remember having a conversation with her about adopting a child. She was watching a child for someone at her church and was interested in become his legal mother. I tried to help her considering my ex wife does adoptions for the County. Nothing really came of it and then I don't think I saw her again.
 

In December I was watching the news. There was a story about a serial killer who was picking up prostitutes on craigslist and dumping their body's on a long island beach. There was a picture of her, clear as day. I thought to myself, damn, that girl looks familiar. Then they showed her name. I'll be damned, the same girl that I talked to those couple days was brutally murdered.

For some reason this has been bothering me and I'm not really sure why. I've known plenty of people that have died before their time. I can't say that I was close with this girl or anything. Just one of those people who passes through your life. I think it's more of how this happened. How does life work? How do you go from being married and having aspirations of starting a family in St Petersburg to being a prostitute in New York within two years? No matter what her story was, nobody deserves to die like that.
