DEATH ON THE PIAZZA: No Libs Drug Hit Kills 2

INQUIRER: Rian Thal, 34, was a party girl. Known as “the white girl,” the 5-foot-4 blonde threw parties in Society Hill and Northern Liberties which drew aspiring hip-hop rappers, pro athletes and the city’s top drug dealers, according to law enforcement sources. Even star rapper Beanie Sigel showed up sometimes at parties around 2nd and Market streets, the sources said. “She was not unfamiliar with drugs, money and rappers,” one investigator said. “She might have been questioned a lot of times.” On Saturday, her lifestyle apparently caught up with her. Thal and a male friend were shot several times and killed inside the Navona apartment building in the trendy Piazza at Schmidts complex, where she lived, in Northern Liberties. Investigators said they found four kilos of cocaine and more than $100,000 in her seventh-floor apartment. MORE
