Police have a suspect in custody after a beheaded woman was found dead on a Shakopee, Minnesota, sidewalk in the middle of the afternoon on Wednesday.
Officers with the Shakopee Police Department responded to a stabbing report just after 2:30 p.m. local time and found 55-year-old America Mafalda Thayer's body near a downtown intersection, police said.
A search warrant application disclosed that when police arrived, officers discovered the victim's headless body, according to local reports. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police subsequently arrested 42-year-old Alexis Saborit for suspected second-degree murder and found a knife and a sheath nearby. Saborit is being held in jail on pending charges.

RIP America Mafalda Thayer

(3,851 posts)Because apparently she once worked at MyPillow, the conspiracy theories were flowing last night on Twitter.
At least one MAGAt was convinced that this poor woman was killed by the Deep State to teach Lindell a lesson 🙄.
