Detectives would not discuss the circumstances surrounding Anderson's death or the identity of a possible suspect.

The apartment house where Anderson's body was located is on Oak Street, just north of Riverside Drive.

Binghamton police investigators are working with Binghamton University Police and the Broome County District Attorney's Office.

Binghamton police chief Joseph Zikuski and Binghamton University police chief Timothy Faughnan could not be reached to comment on Anderson's death.

A statement released by the university Friday night extended condolences to the woman's family and friends.

People with information that may pertain to the investigation may contact the Binghamton police detective bureau at 607.772.7080.
