WHATSAPP TRICKS

HARRISON – In their social media profiles and in the accounts of those who knew them, Alissa Hochman and younger sister Deanna Hochman seemed like typical Westchester teens.

After their shocking deaths on Saturday, those glimpses of their public digital lives became painful testaments to tragedy.

"I have known the Hochman family since I was little and I just can't even believe that this happened," wrote Julia Martinez on Twitter.

"Whats going on in this world," Alejandra Diaz wrote Saturday on Twitter. "I dont understand(.)"

Hashtags popped up on Twitter with the names of the two sisters, #StayStrong Harrison and #HuskyPride.

Like many their age, Alissa and Deanna were active on social networks, publicly chronicling moments in their lives both big and small.

Pictures posted on Facebook depict lives surrounded by family, school and friends and centered at their Adelphi Avenue home. An older sister, Samantha, 22, was out of town Saturday and was not harmed.

On her Facebook page, Alissa, 17, a Harrison High School senior, said she enjoyed volunteering with the Harrison EMS, and posted pictures of her adventures, often with her boyfriend. She was an avid hockey fan, and often wore a No. 20 New York Rangers jersey after Chris Kreider.

Deanna, 13, a student at the Windward School in White Plains, shared photos of herself laughing with friends, frequently flashing a smile that showed off her braces.

"Growing up too fast," their grandmother Barbara DiPietro wrote at the bottom of one her posts.

Both teens appear to have doted on their grandfather, Samuel DiPietro, who died in 2010.

Outwardly, at least, the family seemed happy. Mother Anamarie DiPietro-Hochman was also active on social media, posting numerous photos of the family, including one of Glen Hochman shaking the paw of the family's German shepherd.

At least once, however, Alissa hinted at frustrations at home.

Her final post on Facebook on Jan. 30 was a link to an article titled, "Do Not Get Married Unless You Ask Your Partner These 15 Questions. Or Else You'll Wish You Had."
