Senseless...


Reflective Windows - A View of Old East from Old Well in the Heart of Campus
Originally uploaded by amongthepines

It was shaping up as a warm and beautiful early spring day, but a dark cloud now hangs over the campus and town. During the lunch hour we found out the identity of the young woman who was murdered and was found lying in a residential street early Wednesday morning. She was the student body president who was a model university representative with a promising future. Why did this happen? We don’t know yet (there are currently no suspects), but, really, even an answer wouldn't make the situation better.

May her spirit find peace.

Oh my god how awful. I hadn't heard anything about that! There was a murder here not too long ago, and the news has been full of the victim's family and friends doing all they can to help the police find the culprit. It must be so difficult for them all!

The university had a very nice memorial this week -- nearly 10,000 people attended. http://universityrelations.unc.edu/alert/carson/

Police did find two suspects and it appears to have been a random crime. One of the suspects was also linked the killing of a grad student (of a nearby university)early this year.
