This is my building. I saw a bunch of cops in the lobby last night around 10:30 when I was taking my dog out for a walk. Didn't think anything of it until now.

Hi Athan, Tara was my neighbor she lived right in front of me and my family. Everyone's shocked that such a horrible thing happened to her. I was wondering if you didn't mind..if you had a picture of her that I could print out because my mom wants to have a picture to remember her by.
