A Virginia Tech student has been charged with murder and abduction in the killing of a 13-year-old girl, while a second female student has been charged with helping him get rid of the girl’s body, Roanoke, VA police said today.

 Nicole Lovell, 13, went missing Jan. 27. Her body was found on Saturday in Surry County, North Carolina, which is near the Virginia border, police said. Virginia Tech student David Eisenhauer, 18, was charged Saturday with first-degree murder and one felony count of abduction, police said.

Virginia Tech student Natalie Keepers, 19, was also arrested and charged with one felony count of improper disposal of a dead body and one misdemeanor count of accessory after the fact in the commission of a felony, police announced today.

Eisenhauer and Nicole “were acquainted prior to her disappearance,” according to police. “Eisenhauer used this relationship to his advantage to abduct the 13-year-old and then kill her. Keepers helped Eisenhauer dispose of Nicole’s body.”

Eisenhauer and Keepers are both being held without bond at the Montgomery County Jail in Virginia.
