According to newly released court documents, 29-year-old Lauren Heike was found with 15 stab wounds along her hands and forearms after being attacked along a community trail in Arizona.
DNA, video and cell phone evidence all linked Teasley to the crime, prosecutors allege. "I do believe at this time that the attack was random, however we have not concluded our investigation." "We are breathing a sigh of relief this morning knowing another family will not have to walk in our shoes because of this person."

Investigators say they believe the 29-year-old woman had been chased over a barbed wire fence along the community trail based on the condition of her clothes. Her belongings were found scattered along the trail.
Security cameras in the area recorded Heike and the suspect walking separately along the same path around the time of the murder.
