A Pennsylvania man is accused of murdering a Temple University student and using a Lyft car service to transport her remains over 100 miles, according to a new report.

Josh Hupperterz, 29, confessed to “elements of the crime,” and was charged Sunday with the murder of 22-year-old Jenna Burleigh, who was missing for three days, police said, according to Philly.com.

“Our Beautiful Angel Jenna is now in Heaven,” Burleigh’s father posted on Facebook after her body was found Saturday. “Now I know for sure that you can a have a ‘broken heart’ RIP honey.”

Burleigh was last seen leaving a popular bar near Temple University’s campus with her alleged killer at 2 a.m. Thursday.

Police said they found blood spattered near his kitchen sink, rear door and on a trash can lid, as well as 10 to 15 pillow case-size bags of marijuana and $20,000 in cash in his apartment around the corner from the bar.

Investigators said Hupperterz killed the student in his apartment and put her body in a storage bin to move her to his mother’s home.

He was accused of using a Lyft car to transport her 150 miles to his grandmother’s lakefront property in Wayne County, where police found her remains late Saturday afternoon, NBC 10 reported.

Burleigh died of strangulation and blunt force trauma, according to the coroner’s report.

“This really strikes home for you, particularly thinking about the heartache and the grief those parents must be going through right now,” said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross, adding that he has a 22-year-old daughter.
Burleigh was a junior transfer student studying film and media arts. Her friends remembered her as an exuberant person who was “a bundle of fun.”

“Anytime anyone was around her, you were laughing, you were crying and having just the best time,” Danielle Halteman said. “It’s hard to imagine her not being here.”

Police do not think the alleged killer knew his victim before the crime though he is a former Temple student.

He pleaded to theft from a motor vehicle in 2013 and possession of drug paraphernalia in 2011, allegedly also stealing credit cards and a half-keg of beer from a Scranton home in 2013.

Hupperterz was being held without bail on charges of murder, abuse of a corpse and other crimes.
