The young lady who was murdered at the spa was actually a sex worker. The massage parlor had problems with the locals because it was located right near a residential area. The massage parlor hired mainly strippers and neighbors complained that it was noisy and lots of weird stuff going on late at night.

When I read the Google reviews, the major complaints were that the clientele were scammed, robbed or overcharged and that the majority of attendants had attitudes.

I'm guessing that this particular spa had problems and it was targeted because of many factors.
