YPSILANTI, MI – It’s been eight years since Eastern Michigan University student Julia Niswender was found slain in her off-campus apartment and no arrests have been made.
Niswender, 23, was found dead Dec. 11, 2012, at her shared off-campus Peninsular Place apartment in Ypsilanti, her body discovered face down in the bathtub.
Her death was ruled asphyxiation associated with drowning, though police said the oxygen deprivation occurred prior to her being placed in the tub. Police said they believe she’d been bound.
