Police Investigating Several Persons of Interest in Stabbing of Detroit Synagogue President Samantha Woll

Detectives "just short of calling one of the people a suspect" in synagogue leader Samantha Woll's murder case, lengthening the investigation process as they conclude that the crime was not motivated by antisemitism.

Samantha Woll, the president of a Detroit synagogue, was found fatally stabbed in her yard and police believe the crime occurred inside her home where no signs of forced entry were discovered.
Woll had attended a wedding on the night of her murder and left around 12:30 a.m. Saturday; her body was found at about 6:30 a.m.
Detroit Police Chief James White conveyed that the authorities are investigating several persons of interest but have not publicly labeled anyone as a prime suspect yet.
Investigators have found no evidence indicating that the murder was a hate crime, despite Woll's prominent position in the Jewish community and her advocacy for interfaith harmony.
Woll, 40, previously worked for U.S. Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin and on the campaign of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, both Democrats.
