Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber spoke to Georgia criminal defense attorney Meg Strickler to find out details about her suspected killer and where the investigation goes next.

I find it a little weird that she went to walmart to sell something to a man, and her fiance didn't go with her or even wait for her to get home before falling asleep.

We won’t know until it will be investigated fully.

It seems like we have to do an investigation into why being a TikToker is a common denominator from these cases lol.

[@brians2711]

This story is so sad. I would really like to know what happened. My family has shopped there so many times, and I've always felt safe. I never imagined something like this could happen so close to home. It really just shows that nobody is safe from evil people. And Cornelia is about as small as it gets. Prayers to her child and fiance and any friends and family that loved and cared about her.

[@sabrinahernandez5425]

Sounds like she was doing shady stuff and her fiancé let her go by herself to go do it which is more shady

[@bettywith2girls]

@@sabrinahernandez5425 Yeah...this wasn't any ordinary trip to Walmart and meeting someone. She put herself in a dangerous situation and this is, sadly, what happened. I wouldn't be too hard on the fiance...she probably reassured him that she "knew" the guy, thru Tik Tok, and she'd be perfectly fine and home soon.

[@brians2711]

My first thought before I knew anything about her was either drugs or prostitution. But she was really into fitness. She has a 9-year-old child. She was engaged to be married. She had over 20k followers on IG and her whole life ahead of her. So everything I first thought doesn't add up.

[@justinejustice_league1857]

Yes, but don't be so evasive that even your loved ones can't ascertain your whereabouts and routine. A routine isn't a bad thing. They covered a woman who was beaten almost to death by a man she'd hired for maintenance work. The only reason she was found quickly was because she failed in her daily routine and it sparked suspicion. Two of her coworkers left work just to come and investigate the home and thats when they found her laying in a pool of blood inside.
