The mother of a New Jersey woman killed
three years ago at a highway rest stop in Morrilton says the state
Highway and Transportation Department didn`t do enough to make the
area safe.
Lynn Di`Benedetto is giving testimony today for her claim that
is before the state Claims Commission. She says the state should
have provided better security at the Morrilton rest stop on
Interstate 40 where her daughter, Kristin Laurite was stabbed to
death in 2000.
Laurite`s killer has not been found but California authorities
suspect a killer in that state was behind the crime.
Before her deposition, the mother said her sister researched the
rest stop and discovered numerous crime problems. The rest stop has
since closed.
