The local Fox affiliate here in Atlanta is reporting a "major break" in the investigation into the murder of Auburn University freshman Lauren Burk. A press conference will be held Saturday morning in Auburn to address any new developments in the case. My Fox Atlanta reported that the suspect led police on a high speed chase. The suspect may also be responsible for armed robberies in Newnan, GA and Phenix City, Alabama.
Lauren Burk was killed Tuesday night. Shortly after she was found mortally wounded beside Alabama Highway 147, Burk's car was discovered in flames on the Auburn Campus.

It looks as though Auburn police plan to charge Courtney Lockhart, age 22, with the murder of Lauren Burk.
WRBL TV in the Auburn area is reporting that Lockhart will be charged Saturday morning. The CBS affiliate also says that "investigators have recovered evidence connecting" Lockhart to Burk's death.
