BANFIELD: College students across the countries will tell you that their programs are tight-knit. You study together, you eat together, you live together, and sometimes you hook with your classmates.

Friends of Haley Anderson say that is all that was supposed to happen between this stunning 22-year-old nursing student and a male classmate named Orlando Tercero who was also in her program.

But tonight it seems possible that far more went down. Because tonight, Haley is dead. And she was reportedly found dead in his home just hours after he left the country.

The officers who discovered her body are being very clear that he is not yet a suspect in the case, but they are saying that they`d like to talk to him and they`re saying that Haley was killed. A girl who was adored by everyone who knew her and who is being warned by many more who didn`t.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I am so sorry. It`s just the bottom fell out.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She was literally like the greatest person ever. She never like didn`t have a smile on her face.

BANFIELD: I want to bring in Tyler Brown, a reporter for CNN affiliate WBNG. Tyler, this is a very mysterious story. We have a young woman dead in a man`s apartment, but that man is nowhere to be found, apparently having decided instead within the time that she went missing and was found dead all of about a day-and-a-half or two to fly to Nicaragua.

What is the story about Orlando Tercero and his travels?

TYLER BROWN, REPORTER, CNN AFFILIATE WBNG: All I know, Ashleigh, so far all we know is that he and -- excuse me. We know that he and Haley have had a romantic relationship. I`ve talked to friends of Haley. They have been telling me that they had no suspicion that Haley was in any sort of danger.

They had no idea that this could ever happen to such a girl who was beloved by everyone as you said earlier.

Haley was a nursing student who just loved people and loved to be around people. Nobody saw this coming. Right now, we don`t really know too much about Orlando Tercero except that he happens to be in a relationship with her. We don`t know if they were still in a relationship before she passed.

And he fled off hours before they found her body. And so that is a big question mark. We want to know what happened in between those hours.

BANFIELD: I so will say this about our reporting today that we did speak at length with Mishela Topalli, a very good friend and a house mate of Haley Anderson. She was going to join us tonight. But she`s just so distraught over all of this. She was not able to join us. But I will tell you some of the things she mentioned to us about Orlando Tercero.

And I don`t know if I`m pronouncing that right but I can`t ask him because he isn`t here. He`s in Nicaragua. And I`ll get into that whole deal in a moment. Because the United States had extradition treaties with Nicaragua, if we`re going that route. But it is not as easy as it sounds.

For starters, the relationships, according to Haley`s friend, Mishela, was platonic and that was it. This poor victim`s friend says that apparently Orlando wanted it to be much, much more than platonic but Haley put on a whole lot of brakes and made it a friendship instead and insisted that it was a friendship instead.

Apparently, Haley was last seen on Wednesday night because Mishela and the house mates and Haley were all having fun playing cards together, and board games, having a little wine. And then when they tried to reach Haley the next day, no answer. And that`s odd for Haley. Because Haley was always on her phone, and so, those friends called the police right away.

[18:25:15] I mean, it was just a matter of hours from the last time that they`ve seen her Wednesday night, but by Thursday morning, they were calling the police and saying we need to -- we need to find out what`s wrong, and then they found Haley, unfortunately, they found her body in the home of Orlando Tercero.

So that`s sort of the where, and the why, and how we got to this brown shingled home in Binghamton, New York, surrounded by officers, and snow, and a lot of mystery. But at this point timer, Tyler, what`s the deal with not calling Orlando a suspect? Why is he not even a person -- I mean, all they`re saying is that they`d like to ask him some questions. It seems -- it seems farther along than that. She`s in his home dead.

BROWN: You are absolutely right, Ashleigh. They are -- they are wanting to talk to him. Right now they haven`t really specified as to why exactly they haven`t called him a main suspect at this point, the fact that they haven`t tied it to him. I think they`re looking for more evidence in the case.

Because so far the questions we don`t -- the questions we don`t have answered right now is how exactly she died. And right now I think they`re trying to just piece those together to make sure they have exactly who they want.

But you are absolutely right, Ashleigh. He is definitely being the main suspect. It`s very suspicious that he just happened to flee the country hours before her body was even found and right now I think they`re just trying to make sure they have all the pieces together before they, in fact, move in on and go even further to try to arrest, if they be as he is the main suspect.

BANFIELD: This young woman on the left-hand side of your screen, Haley Anderson, she obviously made a huge impact on everybody, on those house mates, on her friends at school, even her former neighbors are just sort of in another state of shock about the news that Haley away at college in a nursing program is now in the headlines as a murder victim.

Have a listen to what one of the neighbors said about Haley.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I`m still shocked. I couldn`t sleep since last night. You know, it is devastating. It`s sad. There is no word to describe how we feel.

Amazing, smart, and happy and friendly and sweet. We cannot accept. It`s crazy. I am heartbroken.

BANFIELD: I want to bring if CNN law enforcement contributor Steve Moore, he`s a former FBI agent and investigator. Steve, you would probably know the tricks of the trade better than I do. I think it`s odd that this young man, Orlando Tercero, whose home this dead woman was found in is not being called a suspect and a young man who decided to coincidentally fly off to Nicaragua within hours of this young woman being found dead, why is it they`re not calling him a suspect and what exactly do you think investigators are doing at right this moment?

STEVE MOORE, LAW ENFORCEMENT CONTRIBUTOR, CNN: Well, they can say all they want that he is not a suspect. But he is the suspect right now. They`ve some people making sure that they`re on the right track, if they`re good investigators. They don`t just take the obvious points at face value and say well, we`ve solved the case.

But at the same time, the fact that she was in his apartment. He left. I mean, come on. So, what they`re trying to do right now is work with the Nicaraguans, almost certainly, and one of the things they don`t want to say is immediate say, by the way, if we get your citizen over here, he`s a dead man. We`re going to convict him, and all this kind of stuff.

You want to give the Nicaraguans the strongest belief that he will have a fair trial, and so you don`t want this tried in the press by the police.

You certainly want them telling the Nicaraguans that it`s in their best interest to abide by the treaty that we have.

BANFIELD: A good point. Which brings me to Randy Zelin. Because Randy, we do have a treaty with Nicaragua. We are supposed to have these treaties for this exact reason. Send us back our guys who might be running away from the law. But things don`t go as well with the Nicaraguans as it turns out, what`s the story?

ZELIN: There are quite a few countries where it doesn`t go well. Remember something. A treaty is a contract. It`s an agreement. And an agreement and a contract is only as good as the people on either side of the agreement. If I want to honor my deal with you, so good. But if I don`t, hey, the Nicaraguans notwithstanding the fact that the treaty goes back to 1905.

They`re very selective. And we`ll give them, we won`t give them. We`re not going to give you. We`re not going to give you a national. We won`t give you one of ours.

BANFIELD: Yes.

ZELIN: But they did in 2013 turnover Eric Toth, who was a child pornographer. So it`s not as if they never do, but there are two important points to be made here.

(CROSSTALK)

BANFIELD: Be quick because I want people to know that Tercero was a U.S. citizen.

[18:30:00] ZELIN: Sure. Just -- just because a woman is found dead in my house, the prosecutor is not going to get up there in an opening statement, ladies and gentlemen, here`s my proof. She was found in Randy`s house, convict him of murder. Never get convicted. And he`ll never come back. The Nicaraguans -- he`s right, the investigator is right. They`ll never turn him over. He`s already our guy.

BANFIELD: Well, I`m waiting to find out if that`s who they even want in the first place because they are not saying so right now. He`s not even a person of interest and he`s not a suspect, but I`m interested. As Steve Moore puts it, don`t be so sure.

Anderson and Tercero occasionally hooked up, but Anderson told him she just wanted to be friends and was more involved with Ocampo, according to Artin.

That inflamed Tercero’s jealousy, and the spurned lover would often drive by Anderson’s house late at night when Ocampo was over — at least once slashing Anderson’s tires, Artin said.

Anderson abruptly left their house at 4 a.m. Thursday after a board game night, but Artin didn’t think much of it until Anderson stopped answering her phone later that day.

“That’s really when we were like, where’s Haley? Why is she not answering her phone?” Artin said. “Haley always answers her phone. And her phone wasn’t dead or off.”

By Friday, Artin was scared. She called one of Tercero’s roommates looking for her missing friend, but her fears only grew.

Wow. So they were FWB but when she didn’t want more, he flipped. First by slashing her tires, then by (likely) murdering her. I really hope Nicaragua cooperates and ships him right back to NY.

I'll just comment that I lived in Nicaragua for a year and a half. All of my friends down there are sharing pictures of this guy everywhere they can. We have a pretty strong network, and it's not a big country.

The last thing this guy wants is to end up in Nicaraguan jail...typically people die within 4 years there from the sanitary conditions. He'll be begging to come back when they find him. Although the police are extremely corrupt at times, they take these cases seriously. Do we know how familiar he is with Nicaragua?

Anderson was found by her worried friends lying in his bed and said they knew she was dead by the color of her skin.
They had tracked her cell phone using the Find My iPhone app to the other student home.
Police have not yet revealed how the young woman died or what condition she was found in but her friends said she appeared she had been dead for a while when they found her and that she had a handprint bruise on her arm.

She was in Orlando’s room. She was in the bed. Looking back at it, she was clearly dead, because living people aren’t that color,' Josephine Artin told The New York Post.

'At the time, we didn’t want that to be true. We called the police. My friend was on the phone with them. They asked, "Is she breathing?" so I went over to her and I just — I wanted her to be alive. But I could tell she hadn’t just died. I’m sure it had happened the day before, based on her color,' she added.
Artin said she had been laid there looking 'very formal' but there was no blood in sight.

'There was no blood. The way she was lying, I wasn’t sure if that’s where she died or he put her there. It was very formal — she was on her back laying on the bed and she had a blanket halfway up her body. And she just had her arms at her side.

Tercero, who was also studying nursing, is said to have sent a text message to one of his sisters in Nicaragua before he fled to tell her he had done something 'bad'. It is not clear if he will be extradited

'There was a handprint bruise on her arm. When I saw that, that’s when I knew for [sure] that Orlando had done this to her,' she added.

...

In high school she played in the band, played lacrosse, ran track and played field hockey,” Anderson said. “She was in all the honor societies and joined the hula hoop club in her freshman year. She enjoyed skiing, loved the beach and game night, which we always did as a family. Last Wednesday night she was having a game night in her apartment with her friends.”

Haley Anderson also worked at Ralph’s Famous Italian Ice store on Carman Avenue in Westbury from 14 years old until last summer, her mother added, and she had worked at Jazzmans Brew & Bakery on the Binghamton campus.

A close friend, Joanie Heney, 21, of Bayville, said through tears that Haley Anderson was her “soul mate” and that along with Haley Anderson’s sister, Madeline, 20, and Joanie’s sister, Melanie, 19, they were like the Four Musketeers.

Heney, a business major set to get her degree from SUNY Albany in May, said she and Haley Anderson were looking forward to graduating at the same time.

“We had been together since we were born,” Heney said. “Our mothers were college roommates at Ithaca. She was my best friend and soul mate.” Heney added, “She was smart and beautiful and happy all the time…I can’t imagine not growing old with her.”

The world can use Haleys...RIP
 
Suspected Binghamton killer Orlando Tercero looks slightly worse for wear, sporting a bandage on his forehead in police custody in Nicaragua.

Police here have named Tercero a person of interest in the slaying of fellow SUNY Binghamton nursing student Haley Anderson, who was found dead last Friday in Tercero’s apartment.

Tercero fled to Nicaragua last week after allegedly telling his sister he had done “something bad” and was a “disgrace to the family.”

...

The 22-year-old appears to have a fat lip and a bandage on his head, according to photos, but it was not immediately clear how or when he was injured.

He appears calm, wearing glasses, a blue zip-down sweater and blue jeans. Tercero is flanked by four masked police officers — two of whom are carrying AK-47-style rifles.

“Orlando is being detained by Nicaraguan authorities while matters are being further investigated,” his attorney, Michael Bachner, told The Post.
