A 22-year-old Binghamton University nursing student was found dead Friday and her former romantic partner has been named a person of interest.
Haley Anderson, a senior at the public research university, was a few months away from graduation before she was found dead at a residence located on Oak Street during a welfare check, police in Binghamton said.
The beautiful blonde student was originally from Westbury, New York, her Facebook page reads.

Her co-worker, Athena Anadnostakos, who worked with her for years at Jazzman’s Cafe on campus, spoke highly of the late student in a statement to Fox 40.
‘She was a very good girl. She was friendly, joked around… we had a good time together,’ a sullen Anadnostakos told the news station.
‘Everybody is sad… a lot of students came to New York together and they cried today. They were all so close, she said, in tears.
