Elizabeth Lightfoot Murder, Dallas TX - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This case is pretty bizarre, you guys. My sister was telling me about it.

A 22 year old hairstylist named Elizabeth Lightfoot was out with friends at a burger joint, left without saying goodbye, picked up some ramen noodles at a grocery store, drove away alone, and a couple hours later her car was found driven partially into a ravine, and on fire - with her inside. It was ruled a homicide. No sign of the ramen noodles in the car.

It's unclear whether the boyfriend might have been involved. She received texts from him that evening wanting her to come home, but their home was not near the grocery store or where she was found. It's possible that these texts were a ruse to throw off police, or that he got angry and decided to track her down on the road, but I think that's kind of a stretch.

This Dallas Morning News article is pretty thorough.

Darn, it says you need membership to read the article. What a strange case, is my thought, after reading the brief article.

Ugh. Sorry. I went through the Dallasnews.com website and was able to read the entire article without signing up. Maybe try that? Here's a shorter article from a Dallas news source.

Elizabeth Lightfoot's death has been ruled and accident by the medical examiner. The police say that they are still treating the case as a homicide, but I don't think this bodes well for a thorough and comprehensive report on exactly how she died. Her blood alcohol level was 4 times the legal limit. Accident or not, I think there are still lots of unanswered questions...
