Virginia man set to enter pleas in 2 student slayings
(AP) — Two remarkably similar murder cases that amplified concerns about campus safety are expected to end when a Virginia man enters a plea deal that will spare him a possible death sentence.
According to authorities, Graham and Harrington were young women in vulnerable straits when they vanished in Charlottesville five years apart.
Graham, after having dinner and attending parties off campus, was captured on surveillance video walking unsteadily, and sometimes running, past a service station and a restaurant.
Graham's disappearance, which came at a time of rising national concern about sexual assaults and other crimes on college campuses, prompted a massive search.
