Muncie Police crime scene technicians were observed entering the residence hall Friday night and leaving with evidence bags just after 2 a.m. Saturday. Officers and detectives from the Ball State University Police Department were also at the scene.
When asked for information about the investigation at Studebaker West, university spokesperson Kathy Wolf said in an email to The Daily News that she didn't have any information.
Winkle said police are still in the middle of their investigation. The female victim is a "local," he added, but no further details are available.
