Blacksburg Police have made a second arrest in the abduction and murder of Nicole Lovell, who went missing from her Blacksburg home last week.
19 year-old Natalie Keepers is being held without bond in the Montgomery County Jail. She was arrested Sunday morning. 18 year-old David Eisenhauer is also being held without bond on first degree murder and abduction charges. Both are students at Virginia Tech.
It’s not clear how Eisenhauer and Keepers know each other. Police said Eisenhauer is from Columbia, Md. and Keepers is from Laurel, Md. So far, police have only said that Eisenhauer and Lovell “were acquainted” prior to the girl’s disappearance.
13 year-old Lovell’s body was found Saturday afternoon in Surry County, North Carolina, after a four day search.
Her body is being returned to Roanoke, Va. for a medical exam.
