South Carolina Coed Strangled With Bikini
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Law enforcement officials continued their investigation Monday into the apparent murder of a Clemson University student.
Pickens County Coroner Jim Mahanes said 20-year-old Tiffany Souers was found strangled in her off-campus apartment. According to the Clemson police captain, Ms. Souers was strangled with her bathing suit top.
Souers, of St. Louis, Mo., was found dead Friday morning by a friend. Police say there is no sign of forced entry into her apartment.

University spokesman Robin Denny said Souers was a junior majoring in engineering and was enrolled in summer school. She was living in the Reserve apartment complex in Central, S.C., just a few miles away from the university.
Denny said the school also is looking for them to see if they need grief counseling.
