OK...I answered my question. Mario Atwater pleaded guilty.
Demario James Atwater, a 21-year-old resident of Durham, North Carolina was charged with her murder,[2] and on May 24, 2010, Atwater pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in a plea bargain agreement that will have him serve two sentences of life in prison without the possibility of parole.[3] A second suspect, 17-year-old Laurence Alvin Lovette Jr.,[4] was taken into custody early morning March 13, 2008.[5] Later, investigators also connected Lovette to the January 2008 murder of 29-year-old Duke University engineering student Abhijit Mahato.[6]
