So sad. RIP Briana!

I believe LE is on the trail though of the perps who did this.

This is horrible. My husband's college roommate is from Camden. Poor girl. I hope the truth comes out.

Very sad, hopeful LE can locate the male she was with Tues night and get some answers.

What a beautiful young girl. Gone much too soon.

I thought for sure LE would have the POI by the time I woke up this morning. Hoping today they will find him!

More from the article:

"We have a good deal of evidence that was collected by SLED. We have some DNA evidence, we have some prints. We have other kinds of evidence I really can't go into right now."

"There's no real indication that who she was with is responsible for this, but it is certainly somebody we want to talk to," Matthews said. "We are gathering a lot of evidence and I can't ever say with 100 percent certainty, but I feel pretty confident that we'll have a real strong person of interest soon in this case."

Very sad a classmate found her body.

If this man is not guilty, why can't LE find him, I wonder?

 

[PeterThomasFan]

I have been following the Heather Elvis case from day one. It's so sad it just makes you want to scream.

I live down the road from where Heather's car was found and where LE is now saying the murder occurred. I'm not 100% convinced yet but, then again, I don't know what evidence was found to confirm or deny.

Feeling helpless to find Heather, I took to the computer and found several things that I thought would be helpful to the initial investigation and reported them to LE.

When I saw the news yesterday about Briana, it brought back the same sadness and helplessness I felt when Heather went missing.

I'm not even sure to what capacity I can help with this case? I'm just glad that LE is on track with a POI and have DNA evidence to lock-up whoever did this for good!

This article quotes the Sheriff as saying the male she was with on Tuesday evening is not considered a POI

I wasn't even looking for a connection between Heather and Briana but, shortly after looking into who Briana was as a person, I found this:

Save me I don't wanna be at work anymore (Heather Tweet - 2/17/13)

Come see us (Briana Tweet - 1/10/14)
