Before Lovell disappeared, Pettitt said Eisenhauer and Keepers planned the murder and went to the Walmart in Christiansburg and bought a shovel...
According to Pettitt, the murder happened on Craig Creek Road in Blacksburg. After the murder, Keepers helped load Lovell’s body into Eisenhauer’s Lexus. They drove to the Walmart in Wytheville and bought cleaning supplies, and then dumped Lovell’s body in Surry County, North Carolina.

Keepers testified during the bond hearing. She has been seeing a psychiatrist at Virginia Tech and was given medication for depression. The psychiatrist did not view Keepers as suicidal or homicidal. Keepers said that the transition to college has been stressful, and through counseling she is learning to love herself and cope with life.
Keepers’ mom and dad both testified. Keepers’ dad said Natalie Keepers comes from a Christian family and has never been in trouble before.
Keepers used to cut herself. Last year Natalie Keepers got a semicolon tattoo behind her ear as a pact with a friend to stop cutting herself.
Her father said Keepers is being held in solitary confinement at the jail because she is “not street smart†and would be bullied and targeted in jail.
Her dad complained that Keepers is not getting the correct medication in jail, and that she does not have a proper mattress for her allergies.
Outside of court, Keepers’ parents had no comment.
