The victim, Katherine Wood, was found by police inside her apartment after FPD received a call about a disturbance at Colonial Arms Apartments on North Leverett Avenue.
Officers found a purse outside the apartment when they arrived. The information inside the purse led them to check an apartment where the owner of the purse was believed to reside, according to the press release.
The officers received no response and after they checked the interior of the apartment, they discovered Wood's body. The circumstance of Wood's death appeared suspicious, given the information supplied to the police by the caller and the purse found outside, according to the press release.
Fayetteville Police obtained a warrant for the arrest of 28-year-old Zachariah Marcyniuk and plan to charge him with first degree murder. Marcyniuk was arrested Sunday afternoon by Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Wood's body will be sent to the Arkansas State Medical Examiner's Office to assist with determining the cause and manner of death. A Katherine Wood, residing at Colonial Arms Apartments, is listed in the University Directory as a student in the English department.

The last time that I talked to her was Thursday March 6th, around 12:30pm. She IM'd me, asking me if I could call her phone, because she couldn't find it. (Continued…)

Katie was one of my dearest friends and she will be missed immensely. She had so much love inside of her-- I can't begin to understand why anyone would do this to her. (Continued…)

I know Zach. He basically stalked a close friend of mine a couple years ago. She'd just broken up with him after a four-year relationship. He did a lot of crazy things, including breaking out her car window, holding a gun to her head, and breaking into her apartment. (Continued…)

I knew Zach too. I went to high school with him. He was always a little strange, but after I had moved away for several years, I lost touch and never heard of his prior offenses. (Continued…)

My comment would be, if you knew someone is capable of "holding a gun to her head" why would you not naturally assume they would capable of murder? To me it is a logical conclusion, unless the things he did weren't as exaggerated as people seem to make them now. (Continued…)
