Visitation Planned For Md. Woman Slain In Ga.

LAUREL, Md. (AP) -- A visitation is planned for a Maryland native and recent law school graduate who was found slain in Georgia.

The gathering for 27-year-old Lauren Giddings will be held Friday at St. Mary of the Mills Catholic Church in Laurel.

A funeral is planned for Saturday evening at the church.

Giddings, a recent graduate of Mercer University law school in Macon, Ga., was last heard from on the evening of June 25. Five days later, police discovered her torso wrapped in plastic in a garbage bin beside her apartment building.

Authorities are searching for other remains.

A classmate, Stephen Mark McDaniel, is charged with killing her.
