ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Police say they’ve taken a suspect into custody after the killing of a nursing student whose body was found on the University of Georgia campus in Athens. The 22-year-old was found dead on the campus on Thursday after a friend told police she had not returned from a morning run. The university’s police chief says Laken Hope Riley was unconscious and had “visible injuries” when officers found her. The arrest comes after a highly visible police investigation Friday that centered on an apartment complex just south of the wooded parkland where Riley’s body was found. Police say there’s no further threat to the university community.
