A few weeks shy of Alexis Crawford's 22nd birthday, hundreds of family and friends gathered at an Athens, Georgia, church to say goodbye.
"I never seen Lex betray a friend, but she was always there for them," said Darnell Shelton, Crawford's high school college counselor, at the two-hour service Saturday at Cornerstone Church that was livestreamed."I never got a chance to tell her how truly proud I was."Girlfriend and boyfriend Jordyn Jones and Barron Brantley, both 21, were arrested and charged for the Oct. 31 murder. Jones and Crawford were roommates and friends at the historically black university.
"She wanted to be a lawyer, she was a criminal justice major," her heartbroken friend said."We made a bet that whoever had kids first, would make the other the godmother. Well, Lex, I guess I gotta do it. For the both of us, I'm going to get that degree, I'm going to go to law school and live our dreams ... and make you proud.""Three young lives have been impacted -- there's nothing I can say to turn back the hands of time," he said.
"The case was assigned to an investigator in our Special Victims Unit immediately after we were contacted by the victim. The investigation was underway at the time of her disappearance. At this time, the investigation remains open and active, and we are awaiting the results of a rape kit that was submitted to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation," Sgt. John Chafee said in a statement to ABC News.
