David Eisnehauer, the 18-year-old Virginia Tech student suspected of killing 13-year-old Nicole Lovell, made an initial appearance in Montgomery County court and was appointed an attorney.
Lovell went missing on Wednesday night after pushing a dresser against her bedroom door and climbing out of the window of the apartment she shared with her family, according to CNN.
Nicole’s life was not easy, her mother, Tammy Weeks, told The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/201JsDS).
Police say Lovell’s remains were found Saturday in Surry County, North Carolina.
Eighteen-year-old David Eisenhauer is charged with first-degree murder and abduction in the death of Nicole Madison Lovell.
Another engineering student, Keepers, also was arrested over the weekend and is charged with improper disposal of a body and accessory after the fact in the commission of a felony. Police say Keepers helped Eisenhauer dispose of the girl’s body.
Nicole, the youngest of four, was in seventh grade at Blacksburg Middle School, her mother said.
The Baltimore Sun reported the following.
At this point in time, both Eisenhauer and Keepers are being held without bail at the Montgomery County Jail in Virginia.
A state police search and recovery team has been searching a pond on the Virginia Tech campus, but state police spokeswoman Corinne Geller would not say what they were looking for.
Keepers participated in several extracurricular activities at Virginia Tech, according to her LinkedIn page.
Eisenhauer, a freshman engineering student and member of the cross country team at Virginia Tech, has been charged with abduction and murder. Raising the question, where was the 13 year old teen between the hours midnight and 7am (when her disappearance was eventually noted) heading off to and whom had she meant to meet?
Stay on topic – This helps keep the thread focused on the discussion at hand.
“God got her through all that, and she fought through all that, and he took her life”.
Nicole didn’t like going to school because girls called her fat and talked about her transplant scars.
She survived a liver transplant, MRSA and lymphoma when she was 5, Weeks said.
Pangburn said Keepers was in many ways a typical high school student who was ambitious and active.
There was no answer Monday afternoon at the family homes of David Eisenhauer in Columbia and Natalie Keepers in Laurel.
“We discussed it with teachers, but it got worse”.
He was majoring in engineering at Virginia Tech.
“We’re all just in utter shock”, Keating said.
Drake said privacy laws prevent her from commenting on Nicole’s experience, but she said the school has anti-bullying and Internet safety programs. The university has dealt with tragedy before – in 2007, student Seung-Hui Cho gunned down 32 people there before taking his own life.
