UVa graduate student Elizabeth Hafter has been missing since Friday, and a body fitting her description has turned up at Humpback Rocks. And a 37-year-old Georgia man has been shot dead by Florida police shortly after driving Hafter’s car off the road, concluding a multi-state killing spree as he fled from Georgia to Virginia and then south to Florida. Media General News Service presents the story as it’s known now, though presumably there’s much still to emerge.
