2 charged in murder of Ansonia native

As regular readers know, I prefer to write feature stories and post news about happenings in the community. 

Dr. Teresa Stievers

I leave the hard news to other media outlets that cover the Valley.

But I must mention it was good to read today that two suspects were arrested in the brutal murder in Florida of an Ansonia High School graduate, Dr. Teresa Stievers, 46. 

She was not only a member of the Class of 1986, she was its valedictorian.

My sincere condolences go out to her family and friends.
