- Share via
The body of a University of Vermont student was found along a rural road, and police said they were questioning a man who lent her his cellphone on the night she vanished nearly a week ago.
Michelle Gardner-Quinn’s body was discovered about 13 miles east of Burlington, Police Chief Thomas Tremblay said.
The 21-year-old senior had become separated from her friends when she borrowed Brian Rooney’s phone to call them as she walked up heavily traveled Main Street, which runs between downtown and the campus. Rooney, 36, has not been charged in her case but was being held on unrelated charges of sex abuse.
