I tell you what, 2008 has been a terrible year for family tragedy and lost lives and it's only March!

My heart goes out to this young girls family. Delta Gamma and Lauren Burk are in my prayers.

It was the lead story on the Atlanta news stations, as she was an Atlanta girl. They were talking about the killer being at large and some campus cop said that they didn't feel, after reviewing their evidence, that women were in any "stranger danger". That would seem to indicate that they feel like an acquaintance did it. They referred to "a weird cell phone call" that her friends said she'd made right before she left.

Terrible! I hope they find out who did this...and soon.

It's a little odd that all of the newspaper articles and statements all state that she was "found dead" when it sounds like she wasn't. According to the statements, she was found shot, then died from her injuries at the hospital. The sad end result is the same, but that's a detail they should get right.

I can't but hope she died immediately - I'd hate to think she suffered. So, so sad.

Hard to get a straight story, but I'm fairly certain she was alive when emergency personnel arrived. There seems to be a pretty tight lid on information, and I sincerely hope that this is because the authorities are very close to putting the pieces together in this matter. I've gotten several calls today about "word on campus" type of stuff, but I'm hoping the answers, and justice, will come swiftly.
