The boss of the Detroit Police Department (DPD), James E. White, reported that the death of Samantha Woll, president of a synagogue in that city, who was stabbed to death last Saturday, October 21, in her home, was reported.

Through social media, he detailed that DPD investigators are working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to forensically analyze all the information obtained so far.
