An Auburn University professor has been identified as the woman found slain in Kiesel Park. Lee County Coroner Daniel Sexton on Sunday identified the victim as Dr. Julie Gard Schnuelle. She was 59.


quote:

Gard was a full professor in the Department of Clinical Sciences at Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. According to her bio, she studied veterinary medicine at Auburn and biology at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. She received her Ph.D. in biomedical sciences at Auburn. Her specialties included dairy production, bovine embryology and canine reproduction.


This is extraordinarily tragic. The park is a common spot for residents to walk. It apparently is a random attack. I believe a suspect has been arrested but no word on who it is yet.

Tragic, but nothing states it was random.

Got to let the investigation play out

Facebook and Reddit comments. Could be unsubstantiated rumors but they did have a picture of the guy’s truck since yesterday.

This link says Auburn police confirm suspect is in custody. The guy actually stole her truck after he killed her. She was there alone walking her dog.

My wife and I are around this age, and she will refuse to walk in a park alone for fears of shite like this. Most of the time I rol my eyes at her when she is super paranoid around parks, but in reality, she is right.

Tornadoes are rarer than physical violence like this, but we still have a tornado shelter.

Strap up, folks.

Let’s play perp roulette:

Illegal
Person that annoys you
White supremacist

Bonus: is the person mentally ill

Double bonus: how many times has the person been arrested/convicted



My guess:

Person that annoys you
Not mentally ill
4/1

I’ll say person that has been arrested multiple times with some of them being violent offenses.

Will probably end up being a local with a long criminal history and numerous stints in jail.
