    Slain woman's complex life was a study in extremes, says family ,

    WESTPORT -- Suzanna Alvarado could be nice.

    "If you needed money and she had 10 bucks, she'd break the 10 and give you $4, only keeping enough for herself to get by," recalls her husband, Alex Sanchez Alvarado.

    "If you needed food, she'd open our refrigerator and give you our food, only leaving enough for us to get by," said the scallop fisherman who works on boats out of New Bedford Harbor.

Why does everyone think he's dating his best friend Maria? And is it time to talk to the only out gay guy at school? Or do more than talk?
