Journalist's Death Ruled Homicide

Police continue to search for who may have killed a long-time journalist and contributor to the Washington Times.

Viola Herms Drath, 91, was found dead in her Georgetown rowhouse on Q Street early Friday morning.

Police said they originally responded to the report of an unconscious person, and when they arrived at Drath’s home they found no signs of life and pronounced her dead. But by Saturday, D.C.’s Chief Medical Examiner ruled that Drath’s death was a homicide.
