Tiffany Souers, age 20 a Junior at Clemson University was murdered by strangulation.
The murder weapon was her bikini top.

At this time there isn't much information.

Authorities have confiscated Tiffany's computer hoping to find clues and leads.
They are questioning people of interest.

Tiffany wasn't involved with anyone and appeared to be a young woman focused on studies and humanitarian issues.

Authorities, also believe the perpertrator knew her and this was a crime of passion, based on the strangulation.

One thing I found most disturbing, many felt they were living in a community where it was so safe they didn't have to lock their doors when they went to sleep at night.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

This is the 3rd Clemson University co-ed murdered on this campus, none have been resolved.

The first murder took place in the late 80's.

The second co-ed was murdered in 1997.
She was with 2 male students, an argument ensued between the males about a car they were riding in which got stuck or broken down.

The next thing they realized she was missing and gone.
Not to be seen again, until her body was discovered in a river.

So, we have the late 80's, the late 90's and now 2006.

Authorities, are hopeful to have Tiffany's rape test results back within the next 24 to 48 hours and other possible evidence of DNA.

It is always sad to read of the wasting of alife, especially a young life such as this one.

But criminals will not fear the law when there is no real retribution.

Unfortunately, we have to live in fear and the criminals do not.

Sadly, the days of trusting your neighbour with anything, as you would a close family member are gone.

Hey tolla36,

Welcome to the forum, glad you joined us!

I have a correction in facts of the previous murders.

The first murder took place in 1992.
It happened to a 30 year old Clemson grad student.
She was stabbed to death.

The 2nd murder in 1997 was by strangulation.

Authorities will soon release an enhanced photograph of the suspect in the Tiffany Souers case.
It will not show his face, only his back shoulders, etc.
They are hoping this will be enough for someone to recognize him.
The suspect, alledgely drives a chevy blazer.

It's been reported, the bed sheets were removed from Tiffany's home and authorities are in search of them.

Tiffany lived on the ground level and in this very nice apartment complex, they were not in the habit of locking doors or windows when they left their homes or went to sleep.

On CourtTV, lastnight I learned that when We the public find out who the suspect is, that we are going to be absolutely astounded.

The photo has been released to the public.

The suspect was photographed using Tiffany's bank card shortly after her murder, but used bandanas to cover his face.

Authorities, also found her driver license about 6 miles outside of Clemson.

Experts are alluding to an obession from a grocery store clerk, someone that works in the library and things of this nature.

The rape kit results have not come back as of yet.

Authorities have rec'd many tips and calls since the photo has been released.

One of Tiffany's neighbors had been charged with a sex crime a month prior to her death.
His lawyer says, that he is not a person of interest.
The alledged crime was an attempted date rape.

I just had to come back with an After Thought.

The experts and the profilers, all were saying that We the public and society at large, were going to be so surprised at Who committed this murder, right?

Well, who would possibly be surprised that a 2 timed felony and twice registered Sex Offender committed this!

Boy...were they off the mark.

Reportedly, Jerry Inman Buckman has called himself a Sick Animal.

In Alabama, he's been charged with attempted rape of a 24 year old, burglary, robbery, theft of property. He has a few counties and states, that are waiting on him.

He admitted to Authorities, that He drove around looking for women he found attractive. However, when he entered Tiffany's home he thought she was fast asleep, he didn't mean to disturb her.

In other words, his intent was just to rape her, violate her, invade her personal space and go.

Lord Have Mercy Jesus!

While he was in prison for 16 years for rape, he raped an inmate in prison and had charges filed on.

He wasn't suppose to be out on the streets the day he raped and murdered Tiffany--he was suppose to be locked up in prison.

He was out on a early release, a Sexual Predator.
