Cole Creek Update
Victim Found In Cole Creek Still Not Identified

Police said Wednesday they've been unable to positively identify the 16-year-old girl whose body was found Tuesday morning near Blondo and Cole Creek Drive. Sources tell Channel 6 News she was a freshman at Benson High School.

"It's just really sad because she is just so young and she was a freshman and she was nice and stuff and she could have made a difference in the world and stuff and it's just really sad,” said Benson High School sophomore Tierra Hickerson. “That I had to see her go like that and nobody really knows how she died.”

Students said there was a grief counselor at the school Wednesday. It's finals week with just two days of classes left.

Everyone is asking questions, waiting for answers. Police continue to investigate and are calling the girl's death suspicious. Anyone with information about the death is asked to call police at 402-444-5656.
