Fox Nation host Nancy Grace unpacks the case surrounding a New York dad killed during family weekend at a hotel near Marist College.
A student at the University of Noth Carolina (UNC)-Chapel Hill, on Oct. 22 reported a sexual assault incident that allegedly occurred in a dormitory on campus.
The student told campus police that the incident occurred between 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. that Saturday, when an "unknown individual" followed the student into Carmichael Residence Hall and then into the student's room, where the assault took place, according to UNC - Chapel Hill.
The suspect is described as a White male, about 6 feet tall, in his late 20s or early 30s, with short brown hair and short facial hair, the university said in a Saturday Facebook post.
Campus police are investigating the incident, which occurred just after students returned to campus following fall break.

The school has a text service available to all students, faculty and staff for voicing security concerns and problems. Chapel Hill also uses an alert system called Alert Carolina, which issues alerts when events occur on campus.
"UNC campus police issued an Alert Carolina Crime Alert to notify the campus of the assault, based upon the guidelines for engaging Alert Carolina posted on the UNC Police website. Students in Carmichael Residence Hall have received additional communication from Campus Housing…" Spandorf said.
