A 25-year-old nursing student from the University of Michigan-Flint was tragically killed in a murder-suicide after being kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend, a resident doctor, the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release.
Gina Bryant was last seen by her coworkers on October 12th, when she went home for her lunch break. When she did not return, her coworkers became concerned and reported her missing. Surveillance footage from a neighbor’s home showed her ex-boyfriend, Justin Wendling, had entered her home and was waiting for her when she returned.
The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office said Wendling then kidnapped Bryant and drove her to a truck stop in LaSalle, Michigan, where he fatally shot her. After the shooting, Wendling called his parents to confess and then drove hundreds of miles away to Iowa, where he killed himself.
The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office said they received “odd text messages” from Bryant’s phone after she was kidnapped. They are still investigating the incident and have not released any further information.
Bryant was a student at the University of Michigan-Flint, where she was studying to become a nurse. Her death has been a shock to the community, and her friends and family are mourning her loss.
