Why I created this blog.....

I created this forum for my daughter Kimberly Ann Long who was brutally murdered in November, 2008 in Las Vegas NV. Caught in a domestic dispute with her boyfriend and his father, she did not escape the wrath that they had planned for her. Upon her arrival home from a long night's work at the Gold Coast Casino, she was met by her boyfriend's father, retired FBI agent Edward Preciado, who confronted her while two of her four children lay sleeping inside. Her only goal was to get her children and leave an ever growing tense situation brought on by the breakup of her relationship with the murder suspects' son Jeff Preciado. She had no chance.....the confrontation escalated and she is found beaten many...many times with a hammer to the back of the head and many other parts of the body. Edward Preciado is found holding the hammer,claiming self defense, after beating my daughter to death.
Believe it or not he is not in Jail. He made bail of 250,000 in March to await trial.
Google the name and you will find news details.
My heart has been unable to process this brutal attack and lack of justice until now. I have created this blog in Honor of my daughter, who's story deserves to be told, heard and spoke about in hopes of getting her murderer behind bars where he belongs. Also...to bring attention to the evergrowing cultural and social madness of Domestic Violence!
