Missing College Student Alexis Crawford Found Dead.

Alexis Crawford, the 21-year-old Clark Atlanta University student who went missing from her off-campus apartment more than a week ago, was found dead Friday in an Atlanta area park, Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields told reporters. 

According to police, the suspects are Crawford's roommate, 21-year-old Jordyn Jones, and the roommate's boyfriend, Barron Brantley, 21. One of the suspects led police to the body, the chief said.

"The case has come to one of the saddest conclusions possible and has been absolutely heartbreaking," the chief said. "To Alexis' family, our hearts go out to you. I am so truly sorry that we could not provide you with a better ending."

Her family is devastated and heartbroken, said Rev. Markel Hutchins, who is advising the Crawfords.

Alexis was the "apple of their eye" and was "very highly thought of among her family and friends," Hutchins said.

Hutchins spoke with Alexis' parents after hearing about her death and says they are grieving.

"Alexis' mother was literally unable to speak. All that she could do was listen as I tried to console and comfort her," Hutchins said. "Alexis' father said, 'If they wanted to take somebody's life they could have taken mine. They didn't have to kill my baby, they didn't have to kill her.' "

Hutchins said the grieving father repeated that statement several times.

Hutchins said that Alexis' father also told him, "I know God doesn't make any mistakes."

The family is thankful for the support from the local community as well as from people all over the country, he said.

Hutchins asked for people to pray for the family.

Clark Atlanta President George French Jr. sent a letter to the university family expressing his condolences.

"Our deepest prayers and thoughts are with her family," French wrote. "Tonight we mourn together."
