When a single man is murdered near or in his home, more questions will come up that many may want to avoid, other than the who, the what, the when, the why. We are not going to rule out that the suspect who was arrested isn’t a magazine exec who was pissed at Giles. But there are the obvious that raises other questions as well. At 47 Giles was single and lived alone. Was he living a secret life that he kept from family, friends and colleagues? Was he murdered by someone who was part of this secret life, or was this someone he met online, and this was the first meet up gone terribly wrong? Trust, we aren’t trying to dog the fact that a man who was clearly well liked was murdered. But, these are things we are sure ran across the minds of investigators. Giles was a 6-foot-4 former varsity basketball player and looked to have weighed over 200 pounds which is puzzling to people who knew him, wondering how someone was able to get the drop on him. It is due to these facts, that no one should be surprised if the person who committed this sick act of violence is someone he knew and the attack was a total surprise. But we will leave that part for when investigators start to release details about their findings. One of Giles’s final proud moments was giving back to his community by organizing a youth basketball competition.
