I thought they lived in New York. Westchester County IS in NY, not NJ, isn’t it?
Yes North Salem NY. Rt 116. Windswept Farm. She was murdered in November.

And the plot thickens…
Workers were found to be stealing hay and selling it on the “black market.”[/QUOTE]
I’d sure look closer at that Agway guy. That’s a lot of hay bales, a LOT of hay bales stolen, and the Agway guy is like well, people pilfer so they can feed their pets. Hmmmm. That much hay was not going to feed somebody’s horse at home.
While offering the family my condolances, and having a thought for the sensitivity of the situation, I can see the poster’s immediate connection to a number of books that are who-dun-its with famous horse people involved and the bad-guys who did it. I thought the same thing, and suggest it was never
her intention to be callous.

Most of us read. Most of us read horsey books, fiction and non-fiction.
When a person is murdered, some peoples’ thoughts might immediately remind them of a horsey book.
My thoughts just don’t go there, but supposing they did, I’d be sure to take the time to consider that reality (the horrible death of a human being, one who may be known to people on this forum), and fiction, and crimes that happened in the past, are quite distinct from one another.
Perhaps just a bit of time to think about reality vs books, and remembering that just because a thought pops into your head doesn’t mean you have to verbalize it , would allow some sort of filter to kick in , if it doesn’t do so naturally.
Being thoughtless is no excuse for gross insensitivity.
