Suellen Evans (April 1, 1944 – June 30, 1965) was a college student taking summer courses at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) who was stabbed and slashed to death at the campus' Coker Arboretum when she fought off a rape attempt. The killer has never been identified, and investigations have gone cold over the years, the murder having a lasting impact on the community and local police force. Renewed interest was brought into the investigation of Evans' murder by more recent murders of female students at the same university, specifically Eve Carson and Faith Hedgepath, and the police are asking the public for information leading to answers and even the killer(s) responsible.
