As of tonight no new information from authorities about the investigation.
Update 2:02 p.m.: Multiple Sources close to the investigation confirm that detectives were working with Philadelphia police linguists yesterday to interview family and friends of murdered business owner Annie "Kim" Huynh.
Sources also claim that police are investigating a "few suspects", but one source say not much new information was given today.
Investigators were also on the scene again this afternoon focusing on the area behind the shopping center where friends of the deceased told us she parked and entered her business every morning.
Shortly after noon Southampton police Chief Ron MacPherson said, "We are still conducting our investigation and exploring any possible leads."
9:43 a.m.:
Upper Southampton police and County Detectives are remaining quiet on the murder investigation of Annie “Kim” Huynh, 30, of Philadelphia who was murdered Monday morning in her popular Second Street Pike nail salon but sources close to the investigation exclusively tell BuxMontNews.com that the suspect wanted in the murder was someone who close to her. Huynh’s friends and family set up a small memorial with burning incense, gifts, oranges and fake money in front of the crime scene tape outside of Kim’s Nails Tuesday afternoon.
While the memorial was set up investigators were taking measurements of the crime scene which we are told will be used to build a 3-D model to aid district attorneys.
When customers spoke of Annie Huynh they all spoke highly of the young mother of a 6-year-old son.
“Great person, sweet, this was a senseless crime,” said long time customer and friend Ilana Feldman of Huntingdon Valley, who said she was holding back tears when she saw the storefront with crime scene tape around it.
“The salon was always so clean and welcoming to the public. She was always willing to help the next customer and always greeted them with a smile. Every customer, even the most picky, treated her with respect., “ said an anonymous person who commented on our website.
Employees of the nail salon arrived at work around 9 a.m. Monday morning to find the door to the bathroom locked and Huynh was no where in sight which was strange of the caring salon owner who would come in early to do customers nails if they could not come during the salons regular hours posted on the door.
When police arrived they entered the salon and made entry into the locked bathroom where they found Huynh dead on the bathroom floor no obvious signs of trauma were discovered, the death was ruled a homicide after an afternoon autopsy.
In a statement police believe that Huynh was murdered between 8 a.m. and 9:20 a.m, no motive for the murder was given but a source close to the family told us Monday night that authorities were looking into Huynh’s ex-husband “John”.
Upper Southampton police and detectives with blue gloves on searched dumpsters and the surrounding area behind the Pikes Place Shopping Center.
By mid-day Monday Bucks County detectives were on-scene assisting police investigate the murder.
Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler told BuxMontNews.com yesterday afternoon, "We are optimistic this case will be resolved."
The D.A. also says that the state police crime lab is aiding the investigation by expediting the testing of evidence found at the scene.
