SUSPECT IN TEMPLE VARSITY STUDENT"S MURDER HAS CRIMINAL PAST

By


A former Temple University student has been charged in the death of a current student whose remains were found over the weekend.
Joshua Hupperterz, 29, was taken into custody Friday and charged with murder after authorities found a body, confirmed to be missing college student Jenna Burleigh, 22. Burleigh’s body was found on property belonging to Hupperterz’s grandmother.

Burleigh was reported missing on Thursday night, and was last seen on surveillance footage leaving a bar near campus in north Philadelphia, with a man police identified as Hupperterz.
Hupperterz was charged with murder, and faces charges of possession of an instrument of crime, evidence-tampering and abuse of a corpse.
Hupperterz last took classes as a junior at Temple last spring, Philly.com reported.
Court records showed he pleaded guilty to theft from a motor vehicle in 2013, and drug possession in 2011.
In 2013, Hupperterz allegedly broke into a home and stole electronics, credit cards and beer.
Hupperterz gave a “partial confession,” according to Philly.com. Police say they believe he killed Burleigh in his Philadelphia apartment, then moved her body at least twice.

ARREST MADE IN SLAYING OF TEMPLE UNIVERSITY STUDENT
When investigators entered his apartment – which was near the bar where investigators believe he and Burleigh met – they found blood, drugs and cash.
Philadelphia Police Capt. John Ryan said the murder did not appear to be premeditated.
Burleigh’s cause of death was determined to be from a mixture of blunt trauma and strangulation, according to the news outlet.
Burleigh, who was studying film and media arts, had transferred to Temple last week from a community college and commuted to school.

Casey Pigge is shown in an undated photo provided by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. An investigative report by the Dayton Daily News has found that the strangulation of an inmate on an Ohio prison bus by Pigge, a twice convicted murderer, was preventable. After Casey Pigge was taken into custody last year for using a brick to kill his cellmate by repeatedly smashing his head, he made one thing clear to investigators. "Pigge denied any desire to be a serial killer, but could not promise that he wouldn't kill again," a prison social worker said after interviewing him. On Feb. 1, just two days after pleading guilty to beating cellmate Luther Wade to death, Pigge was placed in a prison transport van with several other inmates. As the bus headed south through Pickaway County in central Ohio, investigators say, Pigge used a chain meant to restrain him around the stomach to strangle inmate David Johnson. "I guess you never seen that on a bus before,...
