So sad to see her picture - what a beautiful, happy-looking girl. As far as the roommate notifying police so quickly, I agree that it might mean there was a reason for concern. But, I was thinking about my youngest daughter and her roommate. They are very close and if my daughter knew her...

Here's a map showing the trails if I did this right. I haven't heard where she was found yet, other than in the woods behind the lake..Most of the trail area is wooded with a few open spaces. UGA operates a ropes course there - my daughter worked for UGA working the ropes course groups.

I'm local too, have one daughter at UGA and another daughter who graduated last spring and ran at Lake Herrick all the time. I walk out there too and agree with the posters that it would be a difficult place to be sure you were alone. Especially on a beautiful morning like today was. As far as...

Right there with you Yepper Bepper. I attended FSU in the 80s and the horror of Bundy's attack at ChiO was still felt all over that campus. Then, while I was still in college, the Rollins attacks started at UF 2 hours away. This reminds me of those murders so much and reminds me of how scary it...

Body of missing Athens man found in North Oconee River

Sadly, Seth has been found in the river near his home. I'll try to post a link.

I'm local. The river depth and speed fluctuates a lot with the weather. Right now, it's high and fast because we've had rain, but a week ago, I don't believe it would have been very deep or fast at that location.

Incredible news! I was just in that RaceTrac the other day and thought about Elijah, as I always do, as I paid at the counter. So happy for his family! Now I want to know what motivated this senseless killing?

Was there any light at all in that area? I wonder if Bowie maybe went to the bathroom near or under that tree, and Katie bent over to pick up the poop exposing her tattoo? Only if there was enough light that he could have seen it, of course. Maybe if a mentally unbalanced person was in or behind...

New article, but not any new info unfortunately: Oconee Co. sheriff seeks answers one month after gas station shooting

I know. The surveillance video really looks like the killing was the primary goal rather than a robbery, IMO. So, if another employee might have been the target, that opens up a new line of inquiry. I don't know how regular their shifts were. It's just so sad. I live about a mile from this...

I'm local and a local podcast called had the sheriff on today. He said the South Carolina potential person of interest had been cleared as not being in the area at the time. The reward has also been increased to $25,000. And a family member on the podcast said Elijah was covering another...

Long-time lurker here, but finally had to post to ask if anyone thinks LE might be delaying the official ID at the request of the family? I read somewhere (probably here!) that the Grahams have a lot of family in England and that there was at least one very elderly relative (100+). Maybe the...
