Philadelphia Attorney Writes Message On Social Media For Woman Found Dead In Home

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A heartfelt message was written on the Facebook page of attorney Charles Peruto, Jr. for the woman who was found dead inside his home.

Twenty-six-year-old Julia Law was found face down in a bathtub inside the home of Peruto at about 10 a.m. Saturday (see related story).

The following message was posted on Peruto's Facebook page Sunday:

"I never thought I'd post something personal, but I'm just unable to thank each and every one of you individually, for your warm wishes.
It's very hard to find someone who really matches you on all eight cylinders.

I found my soulmate hippy, and can never replace her. We worked and played, and never got enough life. I'm grateful we made every minute count, without a single dispute about anything ever.

I'm especially sad for her 10 yr old brother, who was her life, along with her loving and close sisters, mother and step-father.

Earth lost the best one ever. Happy birthday baby."

Authorities say Peruto, Jr. was questioned by homicide detectives, but is said to be a witness and not a suspect for now. The investigation is ongoing.
