Prominent Detroit synagogue president Samantha Woll was found dead outside of her home early Saturday morning, police said.

Police found multiple stab wounds and a trail of blood leading to her home, which is where law enforcement believes the crime was committed, Detroit police said in an email.

There's no apparent motive for the deadly attack, according to police, which assigned the case ot the homicide division.

The 40-year-old leader led the Isaac Agree Downtown Detroit Synagogue since 2022 and previously worked for Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin and the re-election campaign of Attorney General Dana Nessel, both Democrats.



Detroit police declined to answer Fox News Digital's questions about leads on a potential suspect or if this was considered a hate crime.

The FBI said it's "aware of the incident, and we will assist the Detroit Police Department as requested."

No motive?  She's Jewish. The cities with largest Arab American populations are Los Angeles, Detroit, New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C. The Greater Detroit area hosts a diverse population of Arab Americans. Arab Americans are believed to be the third largest ethnic population in the state of Michigan.

What Happened to Samantha Woll?
by Abe Greenwald
Commentary

On October 21, Samantha Woll, the 40-year-old president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Detroit Synagogue, was found stabbed to death in front of her home in the city’s Lafayette Park neighborhood. A mere two days later, Detroit’s police chief, James White, said that the police were “confident” that Woll’s murder didn’t seem to be a hate crime.

Why “confident”? Given that the prominently Jewish Woll was murdered amid a nationwide explosion of anti-Semitic violence following Hamas’s October 7 pogrom in Israel, one might assume that White had slam-dunk evidence ruling out Jew-hatred.

But if he did, he wasn’t sharing it. “Right now, the evidence doesn’t take us there,” he said. “When we talk about hate crimes, there are certain tracks they take. We’re confident that we don’t have any indication of that at this point.”

In times of widespread unrest, it’s reckless to speculate about unsolved crimes. I don’t know who killed Samantha Woll or why. And I hope, for the sake of the Jews and the state of our country, that White is correct. But his logic isn’t impressive. ...

Police still aren't releasing the identity of the (alleged) killer - whom they've now released.

Police release suspect in Samantha Woll homicide as investigation continues
George Hunter
The Detroit News
Nov. 11, 2023

 Detroit Police late Friday released a suspect who had been held for 72 hours in the killing of Jewish community leader Samantha Woll, whose stabbing death last month raised concerns about an antisemitic attack targeting a popular religious leader coinciding with the Israel-Hamas war.

The man's defense team, Allison Kriger and Mark Kriger, confirmed his release as investigators continue looking into an ambiguous statement the suspect made to police about the Oct. 21 killing, four police sources told The Detroit News.  ...

White has insisted that there's no evidence linking Woll's Oct. 21 killing to ongoing tensions about Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza, or that the stabbing was motivated by antisemitism or the victim's position as president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue.  ...

Four sources told The News the man was an acquaintance of Woll's who was arrested Tuesday night in Kalamazoo after giving a statement to police about the killing, although the sources said they didn't think the declaration alone would be enough to bring charges. ...

... Earlier this month, Detroit police announced the arrest of a suspect, who was released without charges a few days later. Under Michigan law, criminal suspects cannot be held without being charged for more than three days.  ...

Police did not directly indicate whether detectives still believe the same suspect committed the crime. Multiple sources said the suspect, who was arrested in Kalamazoo on Nov. 7, was close with Woll and attended her funeral. ...
They ruled out anti-Jewish "hate crime" from the outset. Maybe they should reexamine that possibility.

Yet another update ...

This is such a strange story. New Twitter thread: It's been 6 weeks since the murder of Detroit synagogue president Samantha Woll. No suspect in custody. At the time it was declared definitely not an anti-Semitic hate crime. National media moved on. Now the police chief appeared to walk that back.

Suspect identified and charged.

DETROIT (AP) — A stranger accused of breaking into the home of a Detroit synagogue leader was charged with her murder Wednesday, nearly two months after her body was found outdoors with multiple stab wounds, authorities said.

There was not a “shred of evidence” that Samantha Woll was killed as a result of antisemitism or any hate crime, prosecutor Kym Worthy said.

Michael Jackson-Bolanos, 28, of Detroit, was charged with murder, home invasion and lying to police. A not-guilty plea was entered during his appearance in 36th District Court, and he was subsequently returned to jail without bond. ...
The AP didn't want to show us his photo, however, claiming:


Nonsense, of course. Here he is:
