Wow, that's sad. Condolences to her family and RIP to her.

My only hope is that someone near the scene of the crime saw something that may be of value to investigators. Let's all hope that her killer(s) are caught and brought to justice.

Very sad, one of our original models. RIP.

Amanda was one of the first transsexuals I ever met. She'd appeared on Shemale Yum in 1999 and that was the year I went to New York to shoot the first ever Grooby videos with Tony Vee, "Shemale Yum's New York Transsexuals". Amanda was on my shortlist along with Lisa Kage, BamBam and Kitty.

We picked up Amanda at her place and suggested we do some out door scenes. She was immediately into it. For a young, English guy who wasn't exactly a stranger to traveling and to NYC, Amanda was still, very exotic, very different to the girls I was used to - and very funny and cool. I enjoyed my time with her a lot and the scene stuck out as one of the most memorable I ever shot.

Frank worked with her in a fantastic shoot in 2005 and of course, she also appeared in a wild scene in Joey Silvera's Rogue Adventure #11.

Honestly, I know very little about Amanda apart from two brief encounters. The fact that this sort of crime is committed is bad enough but it does touch home a little more, when it is somebody you've met and worked with.
I hope by running this blog and putting this sad news out, people will become more aware of the tragedies that happen to so many, of the girls that we see on our screens each day.

Amanda was 29 when she was murdered, in the last week of March 2010.

and I understand that ABC Channel 7 was a bit confusing. But at least they attempted to cover the story.

F U to NBC with your gazillion hours of useless olympic hype last month. Guess a 29 year old woman brutally murdered in her Queens apartment doesn't warrant you sending over one of your elite news teams to report the tragedy

Not suprising about the coverage.

But the Olympics are only on every 4 years. Sadly, woman getting beaten in their Queens aprt happens way to often.

I wish her family well
