HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Searchers hope to find the remains of a slain Marshall University student, following directions from a man who pleaded guilty in her death.

On Monday they visited a wooded area in West Virginia where Chadrick Fulks said they could find Samantha Burns’ remains.

Monica Caison, who founded the nonprofit Community United Effort Center for Missing Persons, said she planned to meet Tuesday with FBI agents in Huntington to develop a search strategy.

Fulks and Brandon Basham pleaded guilty to a federal charge of carjacking resulting in the death of the 19-year-old Burns during a two-week crime spree in November 2002.

Fulks and Basham are awaiting execution in the murder of another woman, 44-year-old Alice Donovan of Galivants Ferry, S.C.
