Former NYC Lawyer Shot to Death on Tiny Island Where She Was Attorney General
A former New York City human rights lawyer was shot and killed on the tiny Pacific island of Yap where she was the acting attorney general — with friends saying Tuesday that she was planning to return soon to the U.S., reports the New York Post.
Rachelle Bergeron, 33, had just returned from her daily jog Monday when she was murdered. The FBI is sending a team to help the investigation, bureau spokesperson Michelle Ernst told the paper Tuesday.
Her husband, Simon Haemmerling, was inside the home and raced out at the sound of three gunshots, reports indicate.
