Woman's Body Found on Malraux Drive near Trail
Please see section in bold below. Doesn't this mean she was found pretty much on/near the trail? Over the years, the trail has been the site of numerous criminal attacks.

Fairfax County police have arrested a 30-year-old Woodbridge man in connection with the July 4 slaying of a 25-year-old Vienna-area woman.
A resident found the woman's body shortly after 6:30 a.m. on the sidewalk in the 2300 block of Malraux Drive.
The victim, identified as Homaira Rahman of Litwalton Court, apparently had suffered upper-body trauma, police said. An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death, officials said.
Police arrested Ehsan Amin of Woodbridge at Inova Fairfax Hospital on July 4 and took him to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, where he was charged with abduction and murder.
Authorities said the victim and suspect may have known each other.
Rahman's body was discovered within sight of the Washington and Old Dominion Trail. Police ask anyone who may have been on the trail or in that vicinity recently to call Crime Stoppers at 1 (866) 411-8477 or county police at (703) 691-2131.

No, she was not found on the trail, but on the sidewalk of a neighborhood street. The killer appears to be someone who knew her. This is a tragedy that even I can't blame the town council for.

It does appear to be an isolated, domestic tragedy.
I just think the violence in the Vienna area, in general, is on the rise. Why?

It doesn't stop there....
A 13-year-old girl allegedly was sexually assaulted on July 1 in a house on Nutley Street, N.W., Vienna police said.
The alleged assault occurred at about 9:30 a.m. while the girl was staying at a relative's house. The suspect allegedly entered the home and sexually assaulted the girl, police said.
The girl and her mother reported the alleged assault on July 8.
The suspect is described as a black male, about 18 to 19 years old and 5 feet 11 inches tall. He had twisted or braided hair, two vertical shave marks on each eyebrow, single-diamond earrings in both ears and a tattoo on his right shoulder that depicted a cross with the letters “RIP” under it.
The suspect was wearing a black V-neck T-shirt, black socks, new black Jordan sneakers and a silver chain necklace with a heavy 5- to 6-inch cross hanging on the end, police said.
Police ask anyone who has information regarding this case to call Vienna Police Detective Tina Brook at (703) 255-6395.
