The grim death of a 13-year-old girl and arrest of a promising college freshman has cast a pall over the idyllic college town of Blacksburg in the rugged<span style="color: Red;">*</span>mountains of western Virginia.
The body of Nicole Madison Lovell, 13, was found late Saturday along a highway just over the Virginia border in<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Surry County, N.C., police said. Surry County is about 80 miles south of<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Blacksburg, home to Virginia Tech.
Earlier Saturday, police<span style="color: Red;">*</span>arrested David E. Eisenhauer, 18, for felony abduction<span style="color: Red;">*</span>in connection with Lovell's disappearance. After Nicole's body was found,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Eisenhauer was charged with first degree murder. Eisenhower, a freshman engineering major and member of the cross-country team, was being held without bond pending a hearing.
"This is a sad day for the Blacksburg community," Mayor Ron Rordam said. "As a parent, I know that this is an unbearable loss for the Lovell family. And as the mayor, while I know that Blacksburg is a safe community, on occasion the town and the Virginia Tech community have suffered inexplicable tragedies."
Those tragedies include the 2007 campus shooting rampage<span style="color: Red;">*</span>by Virginia Tech student Seung-Hui<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Cho that left 32 people dead. A permanent memorial to the victims that day remains on the school's rustic, 2,600-acre campus.
Rordam and<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Blacksburg Police Chief Anthony<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Wilson asked the public for help in revealing details of Nicole's death. Wilson<span style="color: Red;">*</span>said investigators were trying to reconstruct the timeline of Nicole's disappearance and death. He said the FBI, the North Carolina Bureau<span style="color: Red;">*</span>of Investigation and the North Carolina Medical Examiner were aiding the investigation.
“This has been an extremely fast-paced investigation,” Wilson said. "We still have a great deal to do as there are multiple interviews to conduct and evidence to (be) collected and analyzed."
Nicole went missing in the early hours of Wednesday morning.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>In a Facebook post, her father, David Lovell,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>expressed his sorrow.
"I'm so in shock I know nothing more to say," Lovell said. "I'm broken!"
Virginia Tech president Tim Sands posted a statement on the school's website saying the school community was stunned and saddened by the case.
"Our hearts go out to Nicole’s family and friends," Sands said.

Eisenhauer,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>of Columbia Md., was an all-state runner as a Maryland high schooler.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>After his arrest, his named was dropped from Virginia Tech's cross-country roster. School spokeswoman Tracy Vosburgh issued a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>statement saying<span style="color: Red;">*</span>the school was assisting law enforcement "in any way it can."
The school police department and Corps of Cadets aided the search for Nicole's body.
"The entire Virginia Tech community extends its support to Nicole’s family and friends," the statement said.
Wilson, in a press conference late Saturday, said Nicole's body was found with the help of tips from law enforcement and social media, The Roanoke Times reported.
"I urge the community to join me in expressing our condolences to the family of Nicole Lovell and remembering them in our prayers," Rordam said.
