It’s a relief that this person has been apprehended, and there’s still a long way to go before he is brought to justice, but I do feel better that this person is off the streets. I sincerely hope this will help bring some kind of closure to Lauren’s family, and that she will be able to rest in peace. I commend the task force and the Phenix City police for getting the job done so well. I hope they will remain vigilant on campus for the protection of all of our students.

I didn't know her but I know some of here friends. I cant imagine losing a friend like this.

well,i didn't know her actually,as a matter of fact i don't live in the u.s.a but what had happen to this young lady is very terrible,i'm so sorry for her lost and maybe i will not feel as bad as her family is but it is very sad that she died the way she did,i saw one of the videos of her and because of what i've seen about her she was a very cool,and carrying person,very fun to be around......R.I.P LAUREN,god bless you(im from dominican republic)

The students and faculty here at AU are heartbroken over what happened to Lauren...the atmosphere is bleak. I did not know Lauren but I am member of the Auburn student body just as she was and will always be. To the Burk family, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Your little girl is smiling down on all of us.

I didnt know Lauren Burk, however my sister Lauren did. My older sister is a Delta Gam as well and met Lauren Burk through rush in Auburn, both freshmen. My sister called the morning after completely devistated, one of her friends had to go through this horrible tragedy. It hit a little close to home for us because the dorms she had left that night happen to be the same dorm complex my sister lives in, therefor she was walking the same footsteps my sister takes everyday. My cousin was murdered in a similar way in the early 80's, so I know what a family goes through after a tragedy such as this one....It stays with you everyday, and will effect you for the rest of your life. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. Lauren Burk was a beautiful, and from what I understand a wonderful person. No one deserves this, no family deserves a phone call with news like this on the other end. I will continue to pray for justice, and for the Burk family

" I cant think of a person less deserving of such a tragic death. It is heartbreaking when a beautiful person inside and out is senselessly murdered.Lauren will be greatly missed. "
