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.

The thug(s) needs the death penalty in the worse way.
Laurence Alvin Lovette
such a pretty boy......
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.
She was also sexually assaulted according to another article.
Kill these men.

"Upstand" them against a wall and shoot the b@$t@rd$!

PS Slowly, starting with the extremities.
Prayers for her family.
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.
i shouldn’t have laughed at your comment (shame on me)
Expect jury nullification.
“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.
Ugh. You really need to rethink your post.
Where’s Don Imus when you need him...
