Radford murder victim Alexa Cannon shared a post on her Facebook page four days before she was fatally stabbed saying in part “I don’t need, sympathy, I need strength”. It is unclear whether this reflects circumstances leading up her death Thursday morning. Radford Police say Cannon’s roommate, Luisa Cutting, stabbed her at least 30 times in the apartment they shared near the Radford campus.
