Elizabeth Highley, a 56-year-old woman who was later found by police carrying a knife in one hand and a "broken wooden walking cane" in her other.

According to website The Smoking Gun, the victim, Crue Finley, was running away from his attacker after he "rejected her sexual advances, causing her to become angry and violent".
