Police: Va. Tech Student Accused Of Killing Teen Used Screen Name "Dr_Tombstone"

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Police believe they now know how Maryland man David Eisenhauer first made contact with a teen girl they say he kidnapped and killed.

A search warrant obtained by the Roanoke Times shows that David Eisenhauer used the screen name "Dr_Tombstone" on the social messaging app Kik. He has been charged in the kidnapping and death of a teenage girl.

Investigators believe that Nicole Lovell had only begun communicating with "Dr_Tombstone" a few days before her death.

The paper explains that the Kik account is registered to "David A." and was linked to a Gmail account that has been connected to Eisenhauer.

Eisenhauer has been charged with kidnapping and killing Lovell. Natalie Keepers, who is also from Maryland, faces charges in connection with her death. Their next court date is March 28.
