Short version, since I think that perhaps dropping dark hints like that and then going completely silent is a bit unfair: if it's true, then two days after such a horrifying murder of someone so young there is no coverage in the news at all. That's strange, but could be explicable. But I find it odd that in the absence of such coverage the writer (writing yesterday, less than 24 hours after the death) could possibly know so many details - down to the exact timing of the attack, the length of time the girl spent crawling to help, the weapon used, the condoms, the absence of fingerprints, etc. Would even the police know all that yet? Who would have told the writer these things, especially that last?
Furthermore, when I was trying to find more information, I stumbled onto this (http://http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/blog-entry/4473/very-difficult-me-say). A remarkably similar case, down to the (surnameless) name, sledgehammer, condoms used by the rapist - but two years ago and resulting in a coma rather than a death.
There is an internet phenomenon known as "pseuicide."
It's a horrible possibility to even raise but given that the alternative - that it's true - is worse, I hope I'm right.
