In Russia, a suspect was arrested and charged with murder following the death of an American student and New Orleans native, Catherine Serou.
The last message 34 year-old Catherine Serou’s family would ever get from her said she was in a car with a stranger and she hoped she was not being abducted. Three days later, she was found stabbed to death in a wooded area about 250 miles east of Moscow by Russian Police.
According to the local court, Alexander Popov allegedly picked Serou up around 7 p.m. local time June 15. The reason is unknown at this time.
She was pursuing a Masters Degree in Law at a Russian university in Nizhny Novgorod according to a GoFundMe started by Serou’s sister, who still lives in New Orleans. Serou’s sister is asking for donations to help bring her body back to the U.S. and give her a funeral befitting a veteran.
