DISMEMBERED BODY 'LIKELY' LAUREN GIDDINGS

COPS are certain the dismembered remains of a woman's body found outside a Macon apartment building is missing law student Lauren Giddings. The 27-year-old blonde beauty-a recent graduate of Mercer University's law school--vanished last Saturday and was just reported missing by a pal Thursday. Later that morning cops found a dismembered body near her apartment. Her family were paying tribute Saturday: "We just want people to remember Lauren."
Chief Mike Burns said: "The condition of the body is making positive identification difficult." But in an email to a friend, the happy-go-lucky beauty reportedly said she was "concerned for her safety and believed someone had tried to
break into her apartment."
The Maryland native was getting ready to take her bar exam. Early Friday, one of Giddings' neighbors, Stephen Mark McDaniel, was arrested on a burglary charge, the Macon Telegraph reported. Cops didn't say if her was a suspect. MORE IN THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
