It’s happened before. What I was saying that obviously went over your head is that she probably wasn’t dead before being put in the trunk. You act like it’s out of the realm of possibility. What’s the more likely scenario, that she was killed by someone randomly or by people angry that she ran a museum?LOCKING A 75 YR OLD WOMEN

IT DOESNT MATTER IF SHE WAS DEAD OR NOT.
PUTTING AN OLD LADY IN THE TRUNK
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER
THEN DRIVING AROUND WITH HER IN THE TRUCK IS DONE WITH THE INTENT TO MURDER
AND IS MUCH WORSE THAN GETTING SMASHED OVER THE HEAD.

When that National Museum of Brazil, 200 years worth of collected/studied 20,000,000 artifacts and specimens burned down last year, Massive fire at National museum in Brazil, I found a new respect for museums. Brazil lost a shiit ton of it's heritage in a few hours, because a lousy government and less than insightful rich patrons cared not to donate
.A year later they managed to find only 2,000 artifacts/specimens out of 20,000000 Around 2,000 Artifacts Have Been Saved From the Ruins of Brazil’s National Museum Fire | Smart News | Smithsonian.
I'll be honest none of my proposed trips about visiting Brazil included going to a museum, but now that it's ashes and I'm aware of it's significance, I would definitely have gone
Museums house pieces of your cultural and historical richness, most of them on shoe string budgets. These are some real heroes, they are protectors and translators of the past. We take museums for granted in alot of ways.

Sadie Roberts-Joseph, founder of an African American history museum, is found dead in the trunk of a car
(CNN) — A beloved activist and founder of an African-American museum in Baton Rouge was found dead in the trunk of a car, CNN affiliate WBRZ reported.
The body of Sadie Roberts-Joseph, 75, was located Friday but it wasn't immediately clear what led officers to the car. The cause of her death is still unknown, police told the station.
The vehicle was about 3 miles from her home, CNN affiliate WAFB reported.
Roberts-Joseph was a renowned advocate in the Baton Rouge area. She founded the Odell S. Williams Now and Then African American Museum in 2001, where she had been hosting the city's Juneteenth celebration for years.
"Ms. Sadie was a tireless advocate of peace in the community," the police department said in a statement. "Ms. Sadie is a treasure to our community, she will be missed by BRPD and her loss will be felt in the community she served.
She also founded Community Against Drugs and Violence, a non-profit organization focused in creating a safer environment for children in North Baton Rouge.
Local politicians, advocates and community members on Saturday mourned Roberts-Joseph's death.
State Representative C. Denise Marcelle said in a Facebook post that the activist "never bothered anyone" and was looking to expand her museum.
The NAACP Baton Rouge Branch remembered Roberts-Joseph in a Facebook post.
"We lost a Cultural Legend Yesterday! #RIP Sadie Roberts Joseph," the group wrote. "From reviving Juneteenth, to the Culture preserved at Her Museum, she was a trendsetter and icon in this City."
Police investigating the activist's death urged anyone with information about the case to call police detectives at 225-389-4869 or Crime Stoppers at 225-344-STOP (7867).

Mystery as African American museum founder, 75, is discovered dead in car trunk three miles from her Louisiana home
A 75-year-old Louisiana woman who founded an African American history museum was discovered dead in the trunk of a car Friday afternoon, police said.
Baton Rouge police Sgt. L'Jean McKneely said investigators were still waiting for a coroner to determine a cause of death for Sadie Roberts-Joseph, 75, of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, after her body was found about three hours away from her home, according to The Advocate.
'Our detectives are working diligently to bring the person or persons responsible for this heinous act to justice,' the Baton Rouge Police Department said in a Facebook post, also noting that it joined the community in mourning Roberts-Joseph.

Sadie Roberts-Joseph (right in 2004) founded the Baton Rouge African American Museum in 2001 and was described as a 'tireless advocate of peace in the community' by police
'Ms. Sadie was a tireless advocate of peace in the community. We had opportunities to work with her on so many levels. From assisting with her bicycle give away at the African American Museum to working with the organization she started called CADAV. (Community Against Drugs and Violence) Ms. Sadie is a treasure to our community, she will be missed by BRPD and her loss will be felt in the community she served,' the department also wrote.
Roberts-Joseph was the founder and curator of the Baton Rouge African American Museum, which she started in 2001. The museum sits on the campus of New St. Luke Baptist Church, in Baton Rouge, where Roberts-Joseph's brother is pastor.
Roberts-Joseph also organized an annual Juneteenth festival at the museum, marking the date June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers delivered belated news to Texas that President Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all Southern slaves free. The document had been finalized more than two years earlier.
The museum features African art, exhibits on growing cotton and black inventors as well as a 1953 bus from the period of civil rights boycotts in Baton Rouge. It also has prominent exhibits on President Barack Obama, whose presidency Roberts-Joseph cited as an inspiration to children.

'We have to be educated about our history and other people's history,' Roberts-Joseph told the newspaper in 2016. 'Across racial lines, the community can help to build a better Baton Rouge, a better state and a better nation.'
Beatrice Johnson, one of Roberts-Joseph's 11 siblings, lives two doors down from her sister's home on a quiet street in Baton Rouge. She said Roberts-Joseph would come by every day. Johnson said her sister came over Friday because 'she had mixed some cornbread, but her oven went out, and she brought it here to put in the oven.'
Gesturing toward her kitchen, Johnson said: 'The bread is still there. She never came back to get it.'
The Baton Rouge Police Department is asking that anyone with information about Roberts-Joseph's case call detectives at 225-389-4869 or Crime Stoppers at 225-344-STOP (7867).
