Louisa County Investigation Continues in Death of VCU Student


Posted on Jan 07, 2010

Louisa County Investigators are calling Kristan Charlene Fox's death suspicious as they continue an investigation into her death but say it doesn't appear to be a homicide. They are awaiting toxicology testing and trying to establish a timeline of her movements from phone records and video surveillance in the Zion Crossroads area.

Fox, a doctoral candidate at VCU, also taught an introductory course in criminal justice at VCU, was pronounced dead about 5:40 p.m. New Year's Eve at Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville.

Two men who knew Fox took her to the hospital the previous day, arriving shortly before 1 a.m., said Louisa sheriff's Detective Jeff Sims.

The two men told hospital employees they found Fox lying behind a McDonald's restaurant at 11445 James Madison Highway off Interstate 64 near Zion Crossroads (exit 136). The men also say they picked Fox up there after she called and asked them to do so, Sims said.

"We just have to see if that's really what happened," Sims said.

Sims added that Fox was seen in the Richmond area the evening of Dec. 29, the day before she turned up at the hospital.

Sims said Fox's body had no outward signs of trauma.
