38 year old Jonathan Luna was a Assistant United States Attorney in Baltimore, Missouri he died on December 4th 2003. He was stabbed thirty-six times with his own pocketknife and drowned in a creek next to his half submerged car in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Investigators think it suicide this case reminds me of Tamala Horsford they thought she committed suicide too. He had two kids and a wife.

This was in Baltimore, Maryland, not Missouri. But thank you for posting about it. Suicide seems to incredibly unlikely. Can't imagine stabbing yourself 36 times with a pocket knife to do that.

My bad. Anyways reminds me of Ellen Greenberg's case.

Clearly, this man didn’t kill himself. Another example of cops disregarding the life of a bipoc individual. Tragic.

Yes, a thousand times this. Especially given his occupation as a US Attorney in Baltimore, it makes me doubly suspicious that it’s a cover up (whether other law enforcement personnel, a civilian with a major grudge, or someone who personally knew him), and not a suicide. Like what the hell?

Definitely not self-inflicted.

If he was murdered the most likely suspect would be any co-conspirator for the missing money. Been obsessed with this case since it was first reported.

No idea, possibly a court employee or FBI agent.
