It’s not just for this case but we have so many that pop up weekly no need to start a thread for most of them. If we already have such a thread please combine this with it OR retitle the other thread to this. I am not the only one here fascinated by all these types of crimes and follow them. So it’s a good catch all thread (not starting them just because I’m thirsty folks or a phantom drowner of people.) just put the recent crimes like this in this thread. There will obviously be other crimes that deserve their own thread.

“Laken Riley, 22, nursing student and graduate of UGA, was found dead yesterday after going for a jog, on the university’s intermural fields and never returned.
Police found her unconscious and injured in a wooded area behind the fields around 12:30 p.m. Thursday. She was pronounced dead at the scene.”

They cancelled classes at both schools (where she was found and where she was a nursing student) yesterday and today and told all female students to walk in groups.
I understand today that police have swarmed an apartment complex near where she went jogging. It’s been reported on X that there are people in custody but it is not clear right now if that is connected to Laken.
Laken’s crime is also reminding people of an unsolved homicide of a female jogger in California. No other information on why people believe that might be connected to the case of Laken’s homicide in Athens.
