Zion William Teasley, 22, is being accused of first degree murder. Police allege he stabbed Heike 15 times, but the motive remains unclear.
Prosecutors say the 22-year-old had a plane ticket to Detroit. He told investigators it was because his aunt died, but that has yet to be confirmed. According to newly released court documents, Heike was found with 15 stab wounds. There were also defensive wounds on her hands and forearms. "The suspect ran after Lauren and then sprinted away before returning to the location where Lauren's body was found and climbing over the barbed wire," read Zion Teasley's probable cause statement.
His former employer identified the suspect recorded on video as Teasley. The management told police that the suspect was wearing clothing that he had recently stolen from their store, court documents allege.
