24 years old...I met Rebecca at the John Mayer show here in Jackson back at the end of February. She used to work at Rock 93.9 here in Jackson. Let's all keep Rebecca and her family in our thoughts and prayers. :frown:

<a href='http://www.wmctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=1779693' target='_blank'>Rebecca Fox</a>

Monday night, Memphis police detectives were still on the scene at the Gayoso Apartments between Front and Main Street . Just before noon Monday, this woman's body was found in her fourth floor apartment. She went by the name " Madison " when working as a DJ at Q 107.5. However, a friend close to her family identified her as Rebecca Glahan. "This is a profound tragedy." Shea Flinn and Glahan's other co-workers were shocked to learn of her death. Glahan worked for Flinn broadcasting for less than a year and went by the name Rebecca Fox when her radio station was called The Pig and switched to Madison when the station changed formats. "She was a tremendous radio personality, very talented, bright young girl with a tremendous future in-front of her." said Shea Flinn. At Glahan's downtown apartment, word of a death there spread quickly. "I feel for her family and friends." A friend of Glahan's said she last spoke with her Saturday. She was happy and excited about a date that night. "Security at Gayoso is pretty tight, doors are locked and to get in you have to be buzzed in or if you live here you can swipe your id. Once you get inside there's another set of doors and security cameras around the buildings." "The security guards here are really good and I’ve never felt threatened at any point." Police cannot confirm how Glahan died and area continuing their investigation.

Here's the CA's story on it Wiz. That building she lives in predates the War Between the States. It was formerly The Gayso Hotel from which a Confederate General escaped in his bed clothes when the Yankees took Memphis. It's a really nice place since it's latest renovation. I'll really be interested to learn what the medical examiner discovers.

Sorry about the loss of your friend. :frown:



Radio deejay found dead in apartment

April 13, 2004


METRO

Memphis homicide detectives Monday were investigating the death of a 24-year-old woman whose body was found shortly before noon at her downtown apartment.

Co-workers called police when the victim, who lived in the Gayoso House apartments at 130 S. Front, did not show up for work Monday.

Police would not release the victim's name, but co-workers identified her as Rebecca Fox an afternoon disc jockey and personality at the top 40 radio station Q107.

"She was a valued employee, a talented personality," station general counsel Shea Flinn said. "Our thoughts are with her family . . . we are concentrating on her family."

Police were awaiting a ruling from the Shelby County Medical Examiner's Office on the cause of death.

You can't be serious. I hope I run into that guy on the street in Memphis when I go to the Beale Street Music Festival. It'll be his turn in the body bag. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Matt, bro, I'm sorry to hear this. I knew the name Rebecca Fox sounded extremely familiar, but then I saw the pictures of her and Nate and the subtitle at the bottom said 93.9 Jackson....then it hit me, I used to listen to her all the time down there. That is the rock station there, ya know...LOL. And that's when I saw your post here that said she worked in Jtown, sorry I missed that the first time. This is truly sad, unbelievable. :frown:

Here's a link to the latest. These are sick individuals, and you can clearly see why I would celebrate if someone shanked all of them in that jail.

It's strange. Like I mentioned before, I didn't even know her when she worked in Jackson. I did listen to her quite a bit, but I didn't meet her until the John Mayer concert on Feb. 29th. It's still like I've lost a close friend. I remember standing outside the coliseum before the show, asking her how she liked living in Memphis. Radio is like that though. We're a family, and we've lost one of our own, and shouldn't have.

No Wiz, they're not sick they are just trash that should have been disposed of a long time ago.
It's sad to think that these people were out on the prowl to do someone harm. Most likely the defense will be some garbage that the prosecution will let them plea to man slaughter and be out in ten to twenty. :bang:

So true GW. Just think. If the justice system had worked when it was supposed to, Rebecca would still be here. I know it's not a very Christian thing to do for me to wish for bad things to happen to these three individuals, but I do. Warm up the Tennessee electric chair and give me front row seats.

Gayoso dwellers losing sense of security
Three slain in or near area in as many years

By Jody Callahan
Contact
April 15, 2004

Kristin Brenner sat in her Gayoso House apartment Saturday night, watching movies while fighting a bout with bronchitis.

Feeling safe in the controlled-access building, Brenner left the door to her fourth-floor apartment unlocked, as she often did.

Meanwhile, police say, 23-year-old Stanley Andrews walked along that fourth floor, knocking on doors at random.

Just four doors down from Brenner, near the laundry room and garbage chute, Andrews knocked on Rebecca Glahn's door, then burst in when she opened it.

Once inside, police say, he raped, robbed and strangled the 24-year-old Glahn, a deejay for Q107.5 who also went by the names Madison and Rebecca Fox. Her body was discovered Monday when she didn't show up for work.

Andrews was charged with first-degree murder in perpetration of rape and aggravated rape. Lontrell Williams, 27, and Marquita Thomas, 19, have been charged with forgery and accessory after the fact to first-degree murder.

Standing in the bright sunlight outside the building at 103 S. Front Wednesday, Brenner wonders how she was lucky enough to escape.

"I never had a knock on my door, and I'm probably smaller than she is," said Brenner, 18. "I just wonder why it wasn't me."

The incident Saturday marks at least the third slaying in that area of downtown in three years. Overall statistics for the downtown precinct, which covers a wide swath of area, show five slayings since 2002.

In April 2001, Robin Elizabeth Yevick of Hot Springs, Ark., was stabbed to death on Gayoso between Front and Wagner Place.

Last June, Automatic Slim's employee Kelly Clayton Wilson was shot and killed at Second and Gayoso as he was walking to his car.

Last New Year's Eve, three people also reported being stabbed during revelries on nearby Beale Street.

Still, downtown advocates insist the area remains safe.

"I say this with mixed emotions because a life has been lost in our community. It is, first and foremost, a tragedy," said Jeff Sanford, head of the Center City Commission. "But the facts are the facts, and statistically, this is not a frequent occurrence in downtown Memphis."

The latest incident has folks living in the Gayoso House on edge, while many of those who work in the area say they've become extra cautious.

Brandy Henley, 27, requested daytime shifts at the Hard Rock Cafe after the slaying, despite the fact that she'll make less money than working at night.

"I definitely would not walk alone at night again," she said. "I switched all my shifts to days so I don't have to deal with it."

Eating lunch near the Gayoso House, Donna Windham said she's become more aware of her surroundings.

"It doesn't change where I go or what I do," said Windham, who works downtown. "It changes the way you pay attention to what's around you."

Gayoso resident Doug Flowers, 18, said he used to consider his a safe building.

"The day before we found out about this, I was telling somebody how safe this building was," said Flowers, who's lived there about four months. "It just makes me question how safe is this building."

The president of the company that manages the Gayoso said he's added extra security and arranged for guards to walk people to their cars.

"All we know is it's a horrible situation. We're all very saddened by what has occurred, as everybody in the city is," said Jeff Kelly, president of LEDIC Management.

Much of the talk about the slaying this week revolved around questions as to how the assailant entered the secure building.

Residents are required to use a pass-card to enter while visitors must be buzzed in by someone inside.

However, as with many similar systems, it's not foolproof.

"For five years, (my art gallery) was over there," said Pam Craig, owner of the Rivertown Gallery near the apartments. "I would see people come in, hit the buzzer, then come around to talk to us when they couldn't get in. Then they would say, 'Never mind' and follow someone else in."

Wednesday afternoon, a man rang the buzzer in the rear of the building, said he was a Time Warner employee and was admitted, with no guard present.

Kelly said general deliveries are supposed to go to the security desk, but that "regular vendors" like postal carriers and cable workers are an exception.

Four days after the slaying, Brenner has changed her routine. She now uses both locks on her door. She's more cautious. And she's thinking about moving.

"It's just weird running down there (toward Glahn's apartment). It's really creepy. I run really fast by there now," she said. "It's really put me on edge."

Before we moved, my girlfriend lived three doors down from her. It wasn't that hard to get into Gayoso and I blame a lot of that on management. My girlfriend went out of town one weekend and someone came by looking for her and management actually let them into her apartment. They'd open the door for anyone to let them in. I understand that wasn't the case here, but even though they had security guards who patrolled, anyone could get in if they wanted.
