Binns worked hard and played hard, whether he was on the job as a state trooper, bowling, playing baseball or poker, or riding his motorcycle. Family members weren't surprised that he served with the state police for 26 years. As a 15-year old growing up in Cheektowaga, he spotted some people stripping cars one day.

The body of Valerie Soos, 43, of 29 Riverside Avenue was discovered at about 2:30 pm outside Campbell's Pub at 1591 Niagara St., on the corner of Forest Avenue. Patrons on Sunday said she wasn't a regular at the bar, and her neighbors remembered her as a devoted housewife who often was seen working in the yard. "It's such a terrible thing," said a friend, Jan Nimo, wholives at 23 Riverside. "I can't get over it - seeing a person one day and the next day they're gone. It's devastating." Ms. Nimo said Mrs. Soos and her husband, Andrew, have two daughters, ages 8 and 15. Detectives spent several house at the Soos home and emerged with a garbage bag of items, which they took to Police Headquarters. They also searched a van parked outside the house. Today, investigators returned to the scene in search of more evidence, police officials said. *** Buffalo News - 11/5/1996 RING FINGER CUT OFF BODY OF CLAIM WOMAN The ring finger was cut off the body of a woman found dead behind a Niagara Street bar, police sources said Monday. That mutilation apparently occurred after the death of Valerie Soos, 43, of Riverside Avenue, sources said, citing the lack of blood flow from the wound. Mrs. Soos' body was found Sunday afternoon in her car behind Campbell's Pub at 1591 Niagara St. An autopsy was performed Monday by the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office, Homicide Bureau officials declined to comment on the results. Andrew Soos had reported his wife missing approximately 14 hours before her body was found. He had given police a detailed description of her clothing and the car and noted that she may have been carrying several hundred dollars. Police sources said the body was entirely nude when it was discovered at about 2:30 pm Sunday. The victim's husband has been questioned by police, as is customary, and the couple's home was searched. The couple has two daughters, ages 8 and 15, according to a neighbor. *** Buffalo News - 11/6/1996 HOME FILLED WITH TROPHIES IS MONUMENT TO SLAIN MOTHER'S DEVOTION TO HER CHILDREN Valerie Soos helped her two daughters dance their way to the top in studio competitions/ The Soos family home on Riverside Avenue is filled with trophies that now stand as monuments to the 43-year-old mother's devotion to her children, Agela, 8, and Tamara, 15, family and friends said Tuesday. Few details have been made public no how the Riverside woman met a violent end this past weekend. Homecide investigators Tuesday continued searching for suspects. What is known is that Mrs. Soos left her home for the last time around midnight Saturday to purchase food items from an area supermarket for Sunday breakfast, acquaintances and reltives said in interviews. When her husband, Andy Soos, awoke later that morning and discovered his wife was not home, he called her sister, Vanessa J. Bichler, at about 8:30 am, seeking assistance, the sister said. Mrs. Bichler, of Grand Island, picked up their brother, James Riexinger, from his home in Riverside, and headed to their brother-in-law's home and together they filed a missing person's report with Hertel Station police. As word spread that the well-liked woman had disappeared, a search party was formed and area neighborhoods were scoured. At about 2:30 pm Sunday, Mrs. Soos' station wagon was located behind a Niagara Street bar. "The car was found by the dance teacher from the dance studio where Valerie's daughter Angela took dance lessons. Calerie was close friends with the teacher and would help her out answering phones at night at the studio," Mrs. Bichler said. The dance teacher, who had called Mrs. Bichler at Mrs. Soos' home at alert her she had found the car, also contacted police to say the vehicle had been located, the sister said. "When my brother Jim and I went to where the car was, we were told no one should go near the car until police arrives. "I didn't think Valerie was in the car. I just thought someone stole her car," Mrs. Bichler said. That assumption would soon change. Police inspected the station wagon and found Mrs. Soos' naked body in it. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that her ring finger had been severed, according to police sources. But, Capt. Joseph Riga, chief of the homicide Bureau, refused to discuss any details fo the case Tuesday, for fear it might hamper the arrest of those responsible. "My sister called herself a big welcome mat. She was a good person and there was nothing she wouldn't do for anayone," said Mrs. Bichler, who with Mrs. Soos worked together cleaning homes. The lack of information on the slaying, including Mrs. Soos' cause of death, weighs heavily on family members, according to relatives and friends. "No one wants to go on and not know what happened. That's what's killing us," Mrs. Bichler said. A funeral is scheduled for 7:30 pm today in James E. Grace Funeral Home. | RIEXINGER, Valerie (I3154)
