Jenna Burleigh, 22, was reported missing Friday after she vanished from a popular bar near the campus. Her body was found at a home about 150 miles away.

Ex-Temple student Joshua Hupperterz, 29, was arrested and charged with her murder on Saturday, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He had a scratched-up face at the time of his arrest, which he claimed was caused by a broken bowl.
