Virginia Tech students charged in death of teen girl

Virginia Tech students David Eisenhauer and Natalie Keepers have been charged in connection with Nicole Lovell’s kidnapping and death.

But police in Blacksburg, about 40 miles (64 km) west of Roanoke, Virginia, said investigators had determined the two teens became acquainted before her disappearance.

He is now being held without bond at the Montgomery County Jail.

CNN reported “tips and leads” about the case were found on social media.

He was a three-time state champion in track, including the Class 3A Maryland title for the 3,200-meter race, which he won in 2014.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – Blacksburg Police have made a second arrest in the abduction and murder of Nicole M. Lovell, who went missing from her Blacksburg, Va., residence January 27, 2016. Virginia State Police found the body of Nicole Madison Lovell on Saturday near Route 89 in Surry County, after four days of investigation.

Ms Weeks said her daughter was bullied at school and often cried so she wouldn’t have to go.

Albert says Eisenhauer is a freshman at Virginia Tech. Hours later, police announced the arrest of another Virginia Tech student, 18-year-old David Eisenhauer, a freshman engineering major from Columbia, Md.

Authorities planned to continue to comb the scene where Lovell’s body was found and her remains will be returned to Virginia overnight for an autopsy, police said. However, they were terribly concerned about her health, because she was the recipient of a liver transplant.

Davy Draper, who said he’s a close family friend and knew Lovell most of her life, said she had a liver transplant when she was a child and had to take daily medication. She previously attended Margaret Beeks Elementary, said Montgomery County School spokeswoman Brenda Drake.

“She was an awesome little girl”.

“I just have this internal thing saying I want to be the best”.

The investigation into Nicole’s abduction and death are ongoing, police said today. He was placed on immediate interim suspension from the sports team and from the engineering program after being charged. “I will personally not stop until I reach my peak performance which could be anywhere”. Late Saturday night, the investigation led us to David E. Eisenhower, a Virginia tech student.

A Facebook page had been created to support the search for Nicole, and in the afternoon it bore the words “KEEP HOPE ALIVE”. On Sunday, Virginia State Police said divers in scuba gear were searching a lake on campus, WDBJ reported.
