Teen accused if killing girlfriend in dorm room by: Milan Hamilton

The call to police was for cardiac arrest. But the strangulation and trauma wounds on the 18-year-old woman suggested something far more violent happened. Karlie Hall, 18, was found dead in her dorm room Sunday morning at Millersville University, about an hour west of Philadelphia, the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office said. Her boyfriend, 19-year-old Gregorio Orrostieta, called 911 around 5:20 a.m., prosecutor Craig Stedman said. An autopsy Monday revealed Hall suffered trauma and strangulation wounds. Orrostieta has been charged with criminal homicide. He is being held without bail. About three hours before Orrostieta called 911, a residential assistant heard a struggle and knocked on Hall's dorm room door, Stedman said. But no one answered the door, and the residential assistant went back to bed.


This is so sad because the you should be able to trust someone who claims they love you. I'm praying for the family of the girl. This led me to think of the reasons why he did it. Was he drunk? Was he mad? And then I remembered the 18th amendment and how maybe the government was looking ahead as to the reasons why there was prohibition.

  1. This is an example of an abusive relationship where one person is trapped or oblivious to what is going on. She could have been blinded by what she thought was love and missed the signs of what was seriously wrong.

  3. But why would the boyfriend and main suspect call 911 if he planned on killing his girlfriend?

  4. I like the connection to past US History, Abuse is honestly one of the most sickening crimes to this day. I feel america should provide more options and care for people trying to excape abusive relationships.

  5. I agree but we can't let alcohol be the scapegoat. Obviously this problem has to do with the person more than what beverage he consumed that night.
