UNC Student Body President Murdered
|
|
I meant to post this yesterday. A couple of nights ago, Chapel Hill Police were investigating a "shots fired" call in a nice neighborhood in CHapel Hill. When they got there they found the body of a young woman and she had been shot several times in the head. A day later they found out she was the student body president - Eve Carson. Sad Sad day for Tarheel fans.
Here are a couple articles:

CHAPEL HILL - Police are following leads in the slaying of Eve Carson, the UNC-Chapel Hill student body president, but say they have no suspects or motives they are willing to discuss."It feels like a fairly random crime," Police Chief Brian Curran said.
Carson's 2005 Toyota Highlander was found Thursday less than a mile from where she was discovered shot to death early Wednesday, just outside Chapel Hill's downtown.
Curran could not say how long the sport utility vehicle had been there but said police think that in the hours before Carson, 22, died, the vehicle was driven from the cottage she shared with four roommates.
"I can't tell you why I think that, but I'm confident it was," Curran said. "We think that whoever perpetrated the crime was at some point in that car."
A woman reported the car to police about 2 p.m. after seeing it parked on a dead-end stub of North Street, around the corner from Carson's house at 202 Friendly Lane.
"I wasn't even paying attention," said Erin Rice, who was listening to the news on the radio. "And I said, 'Oh, there's a blue Highlander' ... and my heart just starts pounding."
The day before, a report of gunshots had led police to the Hillcrest neighborhood, a collection of architectural gems on a rolling, wooded hilltop northeast of the UNC-CH campus. Police found Carson with gunshot wounds, including one to the head, about 5:15 a.m.
Carson was wearing a dark blue T-shirt, gray sweat pants and white athletic shoes but carried nothing that might have helped police identify her. Carson's roommates identified her body Thursday morning. A man at the house later Thursday declined to comment. |

Detectives in three states on Thursday were hunting for clues in the mysterious shooting murders — a day apart — of two college coeds from Georgia, and sources have told FOX News that an arrest may be imminent in one of the killings.
Police in Auburn, Ala., said Thursday afternoon they are pursuing promising leads as they try to identify who killed 18-year-old Auburn University freshman Lauren A. Burk of Marietta on Tuesday night near campus.
Local reporters told FOX News' Greta Van Susteren Thursday evening that authorities are said to be close to an arrest, though no suspects have been named.
WBRC's Dave Bondy told Van Susteren that Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones had said investigators are investigating the possibility Burk knew her attacker, but the sheriff wouldn't say whether police had confirmed that detail.
Meanwhile, officials at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill said town police had identified the young woman found dead Wednesday near the campus as 22-year-old Eve Marie Carson, the popular president of UNC's student body.
Police Chief Brian Curran said her death appeared to be a random act, and police don't know what she was doing in the upscale residential area where her body was found. University Chancellor James Moeser said there was nothing to link Carson's slaying to anyone on campus. |
