This is definitely a tragedy. We had a similar case at my university this week, and we are still in shock. Eve Carson was definitely someone who was going to go places and do great things...I really hope the perpetrator is found, although I'm not sure if there can ever really be justice in cases like this.

Anne-Marie, yes I had read about Lauren Burk earlier in the week and initially thought that the first stories about Eve Carlson were about the Auburn case. You probably already know this but both young women are from Georgia, having grown up about 70 miles apart. What a terrible loss for both of our communities and their respective families.

so many of our wonderful young college students are being killed . what is it that we as a nation and community are missing or not seeing in people that do this. to me this is a real question , not a criticism, by any means ,maybe there is things that happen and no tell tale sign was given. it makes my heart sick to see pictures and hear on the news that such precious youth are being killed. the scurge of our society is that we let creeps run the street,whom the justice system has turned loose to soon because of overpopulation of the prisons.
