Minnetonka grad murdered in Arizona home

The father of a woman found murdered in her suburban Phoenix house Wednesday said he can't imagine who would want to hurt his "sweet, driven, friendly" daughter.
Police in Scottsdale, AZ are treating the death of MN native Allison Feldman as a homicide.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – The father of a woman found murdered in her suburban Phoenix house Wednesday said he can't imagine who would want to hurt his "sweet, driven, friendly" daughter.

The body of Allison Feldman, 31, a native of Excelsior, MN, was found by her boyfriend who originally called 911, according to Scottsdale police.

Harley Feldman, Allison's father, said he felt something was wrong when his daughter's phone turned off.

"On Tuesday night my wife talked to her about eight o'clock, and then I sent her a text message around eleven and it didn't get delivered," he said.

More calls on Wednesday went unanswered.

"I was driving," said Harvey. "They asked me to get off the road, and they told me she was deceased."

No arrests have been made and police will not disclose if they have pinpointed any suspects.

Police are also not saying how Feldman was killed.

Feldman graduated from Minnetonka High School in 2001 where she was a cheerleader and a member of the dance team.

She left home for the University of Arizona and never left.

Feldman was a saleswoman for a health care company and had recently bought the house in an upscale, seemingly safe Scottsdale neighborhood, according to her father.

"She was the kindest, sweetest person. I'm getting emails and phone calls from her customers today who are nurses and doctors. Everybody loved her and she couldn't do enough for anybody, and she had no enemies, none," said Harley.

A Scottsdale police spokesperson said investigators will likely continue combing the murder scene for evidence into the weekend.

A memorial service will be held in Arizona, and Allison will be buried in Minnesota.
