Tiffany’s close friends said they already suspected that whoever killed her was not someone known to her because everyone who met Tiffany Marie Souers liked the smart and pretty civil engineering student from Ladue, Missouri.

Tiffany Marie Souers was killed when a registered offender strangulated her in her off-campus apartment.

Jerry Buck Inman, 37, had a DNA match with the evidence found at the crime site and he pleaded guilty to  murdering Tiffany Marie Souers of Ladue, Mo.

Inman will most likely face the death penalty when he is sentenced on Sept. 8.
