Mystery surrounds the death of a 20-year-old Princeton student whose body was found near her campus on Thursday, six days after she was reported missing.
Misrach Ewunetie was found 1.5 miles away from her dwelling in a remote area of the Ivy League campus near State Road.
The night she was last seen alive, Ewunetie was volunteering for a live music event at Princeton’s Terrace Club and it was a last-minute decision.
Ewunetie’s brother said that after she completed her duty with other colleagues, she went back to her room at 3 a.m. Sunday.
“Her roommates said they saw her at 3 a.m. Then another roommate of hers said she didn’t see her after 4 a.m. and then after that no one has seen her.”
Her parents told detectives that her phone last pinged on Sunday near Montgomery Township, which is several miles away. Police did find the young woman’s phone near her lifeless body.
“Her death does not appear suspicious or criminal in nature,” Mercer County authorities said.
