White Woman Student Murdered by Former Black Lover, Who Owed Her Money



[From article]
A couple have been charged in connection to the savage murder of a Minnesota college student whose body bearing 22 knife wounds was found dumped in a field last fall.
Shavelle Chavez-Nelson, 32, and Ashley Marie Conrade, 24, were both charged Friday with second-degree intentional murder in the slaying of 20-year-old University of Minnesota student Anarae Schnuk.
The victim was reported missing September 23, 2013. A week later, her naked body turned up in a ditch next to a cornfield in Rice County.

The 32-year-old was brought before a judge from prison, where he is serving a nine-year sentence for an unrelated burglary.

Officials working on the case said they have found ample DNA evidence on items Nelson had brought to the home of his estranged wife in St Paul after the killing.
The recovered black plastic bags contained Schnuk's white UMN jacket covered in blood and bearing more than 20 holes in it and other items of clothing, which looked as if they had been cut off a body.

Ms Schnuk was last seen outside Nina's Grill with her ex-boyfriend and Conrade, 24, of Rosemount, in the early hours of September 22. Police believe she asked to meet with Nelson to talk about the $5,000 he owed her.

Anarae Schnuk, an accomplished chess player, met Nelson at a bus summer in the summer 2012. He lied to the college student that he was a stock broker.
When Schnuk learned the truth about his criminal past, she stuck by him, believing she could help him turn a new leaf.
She broke up with him a few months later when she discovered that Nelson had been living with a woman and the pair had a child together.
