ATHENS: Investigators from the Athens-Clarke County police and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation continued searching for clues Sunday in the slaying of Jennifer Lynn Stone, a 22-year-old University of Georgia student from Roswell who was strangled and sexually assaulted at her off-campus home Thursday.

More than 40 investigators scoured the house — a block from the city bus station — and the surrounding area for evidence throughout the weekend. Fiber samples, fingerprints and other evidence will be taken this week to the State Crime Lab in Decatur.

Police interviewed more than 70 friends and acquaintances of Ms. Stone, who was found dead on her bed. All have been ruled out as suspects, including any boyfriends, police said.

Ms. Stone, a graduate of the Lovett School in Atlanta and the youngest of five sisters, lived alone in the house. She was due to graduate this quarter with a degree in journalism.
