HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - The funeral tab for the Marshall University student found dead in a crawl space after a week-long search will be paid for by her former employer.
Leah Hickman, 21, was a part-time employee at The Dress Barn when she disappeared Dec. 14.
Family members had been trying to reach her that night, but it wasn't until she missed a 5 p.m. shift at the Barboursville store the next day that they grew concerned. Hickman had worked at the store for about five months.
On Saturday, visitation will be held at 1 p.m. at the Point Pleasant National Guard Armory, and the funeral will start at 7:30.
The case is being investigated as a homicide.

Nice of Dress Barn to pay for something unfortunately you have to be dead...DRESS BARN DOES NOTHING FOR THEIR LIVING LIVE EMPLOYEES WHO COME TO WORK-WON'T EVEN BUY A PENCIL..WE HAVE TO USE STICK FIGURES TO COUNT ITEMS WE SELL. TOO CHEAP TO UPGRADE ANYTHING. THEY GIVE NOTHING.
