Court documents: Slain UNC student was kidnapped
CNN ^ | June 27, 2008 | not specified

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student who was slain this year was kidnapped from her apartment and forced to provide her abductors with access to her bank account before she was shot to death, according to court documents released Friday.

Student body President Eve Carson, 22, was found shot to death in the early hours of March 5 in a suburban neighborhood not far from campus. Two men, Demario James Atwater, 22, and Lawrence Alvin Lovette, 17, have been charged with killing her.

Police initially theorized that Carson may have been carjacked, saying she was extremely busy and sometimes worked in her office in the wee hours.

But according to applications for search warrants unsealed Friday, a confidential informant told police in the days after the death that Atwater had told her he and Lovette entered Carson's home through an open door and forced Carson to accompany them in her car.

The informant said she talked with Atwater after a picture was displayed on television showing someone attempting to use Carson's ATM card at a convenience store two days after Carson's body was found.

The informant said the two men drove Carson to an ATM, obtaining her PIN from her.

"The [informant] learned that Carson was forced into the back seat with Atwater, and Lovette drove Carson's vehicle," the court documents said. "That information is consistent with video footage taken from an ATM camera on that date."

The witness told police that Atwater said the two got about $1,400 from Carson's account. Bank records show that was approximately the amount taken from the account over a two-day period, the documents said.

Is this being prosecuted as a “hate crime?”

Wonder what the Supremes would decide here? Won’t be long when the death penalty will be called unconstitutional, cruel and unusual punishment.

Good thing he’s such a pretty-boy. I’m sure he’ll have lots of boy friends in prison.

May she rest in peace... Stories like this are just depressing. You have a girl who was working constantly to better herself and the lives of others who happened to meet two slugs who haven't the slightest respect for themselves or human life who contributed nothing and only took.

And society and this poor girl obviously lost out on the encounter.

The Supremes already decided that 17 year old murderer rapists are constitutionally entitled to a long life and natural death of old age.

So that upstanding little Scandinavian in the first picture will be eating good and sleeping warm for a very long time yet.

“Bring back the KKK?”

Combatting one form of ignorance with another isn’t the direction I’d take this. But some heads need to be knocked and cages rattled.
