Virginia Tech student David Eisenhauer charged in death of 13-year-old girl

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- A Virginia Tech student has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a 13-year-old girl whose remains were found in North Carolina.

Blacksburg, Virginia, police on Saturday arrested David Eisenhauer, an 18-year-old Virginia Tech freshman from Columbia, Maryland, and charged him with abduction. He was charged with murder once the remains of Nicole Madison Lovell were found in Surrey County, North Carolina, later on Saturday.

The girl had been missing since last week. Her family says she pushed a dresser in front of her bedroom door and climbed out a window Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.
