Man suspected of abducting, raping Michigan college student is killed by deputy after pursuit
A parolee abducted and raped a Central Michigan University student, set a house on fire where the woman had fled for help and was fatally shot miles away by a sheriff's deputy, authorities said Thursday.
Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said the man was identified as Eric Ramsey, 30, of Mount Pleasant.
"We don't know what possessed him to do that. We may never find out," Mioduszewski said.
The woman was abducted Wednesday from the campus in Mount Pleasant, about 120 miles northwest of Detroit. The sheriff said Ramsey drove the woman in her own vehicle to a home off campus and bound and raped her there.
He said Ramsey then put her back in the Ford Escape and pledged to kill her, but she escaped the moving vehicle and ran to a home yelling for help.
While the woman was inside the home talking to an emergency dispatcher on the phone, Ramsey "ended up pouring gasoline on the house and then lit on fire," Mioduszewski said in a statement.
