SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Police in Chile are investigating what appears to be the slaying of a U.S. citizen in the South American country.
Twenty-two-year-old Erica Faith Hagan was found in the bathroom of her apartment in the southern city of Temuco Saturday morning.
A local prosecutor says she suffered at least three injuries to her head with a sharp object and police are investigating.
Hagan was a recent graduate of Georgetown College in Kentucky.
Chilean police said in a statement Monday that she had been in Temuco since July 28 working as a teaching assistant at a local school.
The Georgetown College site says Hagan was from Murray, Kentucky, and was scheduled to return home in December.
