From CBS Philadelphia:
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia police say a voicemail led them to the discovery of a woman’s body inside her home and now they are searching for her accused killer.
The bizarre set of events began at about 11:59 p.m. on April 5th when a male entered the 12th Police District and said that he received a voicemail on his cell phone which stated that a female was dead inside of her home.
Police went to a home in the 5600 block of Willows Avenue and found the victim unresponsive in a bedroom with a bruise on her head.
The victim, 36-year-old Andrea Roberts, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Medical Examiner’s office conducted an autopsy and the cause of death was ruled strangulation and the manner of death a homicide.
Homicide investigators say they are looking for 38-year-old Omar Lewis of Darby, Pa. Lewis, a Jamaican National, also goes by Maurice Lewis and is known to frequent West Philadelphia and Upper Darby.
Anyone with information on Lewis’ whereabouts is urged to contact the Homicide Unit/Homicide Fugitive Squad at 215-686-3334/3068 or call 911.

Thoughts? This is obviously a bizarre but tragic case but I still have a lot of unanswered questions after reading the articles such as A) Who was Andrea in relation to Omar Lewis and B) Did the man who received the voicemail have any connections to victim or suspect, or did Omar Lewis just randomly call someone?
Also, Lewis is listed on the Philadelphia Police Most Wanted website, so you can submit an anonymous tip on there: phillymostwanted.org/default.aspx?act=incidentmapgallerytop10detail.aspx&category=MostWantedFugitives&IMID=215&menugroup=Public%20Most%20Wanted
