I think someone posted this story before (around the time of her disappearance) but I couldn't find the thread.

January 23, 2012 — GOSHEN, N.Y. (AP) — A sex offender suddenly admitted Monday that he suffocated an aspiring dancer from Texas he met at a Manhattan nightclub, stuffed her body into a laundry basket and dumped her 85 miles away in the Pennsylvania woods.

Garza, dreaming of a career in dance, had moved to Brooklyn from McAllen, Texas, on the Mexico border, five months earlier. Early on Dec. 3, 2008, a surveillance camera captured her leaving the Marquee nightclub in Manhattan with Mele, who had several sex-offense convictions — most involving approaching women while fondling himself — and was on parole.

Bottom line,....be careful who you go home with or take home with you. If u ask me, it's safer to take a complete stranger to some "neutral location" like a cheap but decent hotel like St. Marks Hotel, they have daily/hourly rates. Use those few first hours of interaction at the club and hotel to use your instincts to study what type of individual you're dealing with. Not leaving the club with a stranger to begin with is technically the best option but, like abstinence, not realistic.

Crazy. I grew up ten minutes outside of Goshen.

Very sad story.

You'd think people would have more caution in this type of scenarios, sad story. Women have to be more careful with this. Being a woman coming to live to NY alone is not easy and you always have to have your guard up. It's so much easier for a predator to target you when you are on your own.

Ladies, don't take drinks from people you don't know. A guy might seem all respectful and charming when he's got his game on, but you never know who you meet in a club. A friend of mine was too trusting (met the guy through a friend too) and found herself the next morning in Riverside Park with no pants on during my first year living in NY. Rape kit, police reports and cocktail treatment were actually more traumatic for her than not remembering much of what happened.

That's fucked. Lots of pieces of work out there...I can just imagine how many incidents go unreported
