Body in NYC Park Is Missing Drama Student
NEW YORK (AP) - A woman found strangled in an upper Manhattan park was identified through dental records Wednesday as a missing Juilliard drama student, the medical examiner's office said.
The death of Sarah Fox, 21, was declared a homicide after the autopsy determined the cause, said Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office.
Fox, who lived less than a mile from the spot in Inwood Hill Park where her body was found, was last seen May 19 as she left home to jog or work out at a gym.
Volunteer searchers found the body Tuesday in a wooded ravine south of the Henry Hudson Parkway, near the northern tip of Manhattan.
She was a third-year drama student at the Juilliard School, one of the nation's most elite institutions for music and drama. Among its drama alumni are William Hurt, Elizabeth McGovern, Christopher Reeve and Kevin Kline.
Fox had taken a semester away from the pressures of Juilliard to get to know the city and herself, said her mother, Lorraine.
``One of the things she said to me is, 'Mom, I'm exploring my neighborhood,''' Lorraine Fox told the Courier-Post of Cherry Hill, N.J.
The discovery left students at the school shaken.
``It can't be possible,'' voice major Solange Merdiniam, 20, said tearfully.
Fox previously attended Southern New Jersey Academy of the Performing Arts. Elsewhere, police and volunteers in Corvallis, Ore., were searching for a 19-year-old college student who they said might have been kidnapped.
Brooke Wilberger a student at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, was last seen Monday at an apartment complex managed by her sister and brother-in-law.
Police Capt. Robert Deutsch said Wilberger's purse, keys and other personal items had been left in her sister's apartment. A piece of her clothing was found in the parking lot, a possible indication that she was abducted, he said. Her car also was still in the lot.
Also, my friend Sharon found this bit about Sarah on the Julliard diary website about some kids visiting the school.
One morning, I woke up at about 5 a.m. to a lamp's light and the sound of a stapler. I looked down from my bed to find my roommate, third-year actor Sarah Fox, making something. When I asked what she could possibly be making at such an hour, she said, "Oh, I am making a going-away present for my student. She's leaving really early, so I am making it now. Sorry for waking you up; I just wanted to make her feel special and let her know that whenever she comes to New York, she always has a couch to crash on." Sarah also told me how much she enjoyed the Experience students' giving spirit: "As students here, we are always so busy that it's not often that we have the opportunity to share the energy they brought to us. I just wanted to thank her."
I didn't know Sarah well, but I am still shaken. Death can come for us at any time in any place.
Thank you everyone for your kind words, thoughts, and efforts.
