"Zynea Barney, 26, said she began interacting with Danueal Drayton last November after he messaged her on an online dating and matchmaking application, for "two days straight."
Barney "wasn't looking for love" at the time, so she said she ignored the messages at first, but she eventually replied... The first time the pair met in person, they stayed in a hotel together but slept in separate beds, Barney said. That night, they watched movies and joked around with each other.
Then, Barney and Drayton began seeing each other every day, she said, whether it be a walk in the park or going out for a meal."https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/dating-app-murder-suspect-dream-guy-girlfriend/story?id=56950404
When Barney caught Drayton possibly cheating on her and he admitted he was talking to someone else online, she broke the relationship off. He started sleeping outside her house, begging her to forgive him.
At some point later, having gotten her to drive to a park, he told her that he was leaving town and asked her if she sees them getting back together. When Barney said "no" he lunged across the car and wound up with his knees on her knees and started choking her.
Three men nearby saw what was happening, stopped Drayton, and called the police
Less than 2 weeks later a judge releases Drayton, who subsequently murdered Samantha Stewart in Queens, NY.
In the weeks before he was suspected of killing a New York nurse, New Haven resident Danueal Drayton missed multiple mandatory meetings with his Connecticut probation officer, state officials acknowledged Monday.
Connecticut officials said they searched for but couldn’t find Drayton, who has reportedly told authorities he has killed other women, although they are not certain if he is telling the truth. What Connecticut officials say they did not know was that Drayton had been charged on Long Island with choking his girlfriend on June 30 and released on July 5 — less than two weeks before authorities say they believe he killed nurse Samantha Stewart in Queens.

Drayton has confessed to killing 7 other women. Again, this has not been confirmed.
When the judge was asked why he released Drayton after choking Barney, the judge has reportedly stated that he couldn't have possibly known about other issues in a different state. But I'm trying to figure out why the attempted murder of Zynea Barney wasn't enough to keep him in prison all by itself?
Was the judge's decision a matter of black lives not mattering...again?
Or was Drayton's release a matter of domestic violence not being considered "real violence" worthy of high bail and prison by our male dominated legal system?
Or was it both?
And why isn't our mainstream press asking these questions about why Samantha Stewart is dead?
Details are still sketchy, but it sounds like Samantha Stewart would still be alive now if law enforcement had taken the attempted murder of Zynea Barney seriously. And this seems so obvious, I feel like I MUST be missing something.
I guess I'll keep reading as more details come out.
