ORANGE COUNTY — Think back one week ago.  The stories were coming out like this:

In the early morning hours of March 5, 2008, shots were heard and a woman was found dead near the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus.

She had been shot multiple times in the head, according to Chapel Hill Police.

During the first 24 hours, investigators struggled to identify her.  They issued a public plea for tips, describing the victim as a white female with blonde hair, approximately 18 to 25 years old, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds. 

With no suspects or possible motives disclosed, officers spent Wednesday, March 5, and part of Thursday, March 6, following up on leads, knocking on doors and trying to identify the dead woman.

Police found no identification with her body, but they said a physical description and a pair of unusual tennis shoes she was wearing helped them determine who she was.

During the morning hours of Thursday, March 6, the news spread rapidly.

The victim's name had been revealed:  Eve Marie Carson.

To this day, solving the murder of Eve Carson remains the highest priority for an investigation team working 24/7 in Chapel Hill.
