Woman Killed by 1 Train Remembered as Joyful Mother

As reported in DNAinfo:

A preliminary investigation revealed that she might have fallen onto the tracks while walking in between subway cars and losing her footing, according to the NYPD.

I suspect "preliminary investigation" really means "no investigation."

O'Garro Family

Regular riders of the subway know how difficult it would be for a person walking between cars to fall to the tracks accidentally.

Readers of this blog know that killers had to lift the safety chains in order to throw women to their deaths.

I note that there is no mention of the safety chains in this report.

Let's review what could happen if the MTA and the NYPD did not automatically rule out the possibility of homicide.

The NYPD could announce through the media that Lorraine O'Garro's violent death was perhaps a homicide and request any witnesses to come forward. 

They could even offer a reward.

A serious police force, one that knows from history that criminals throw women off moving subway cars. would also instruct all members of its large force of detectives to contact their CIs (Confidential Informants) to see if any of them might have information concerning this apparently unwitnessed violent death.

But it is my opinion that when unwitnessed track deaths occur the NYPD is only interested in serving the MTA, an organization whose lawyers are very proud of the fact that in such events the dead person is always blamed and the death is treated as "accident."
