Florida arrest eases fears
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The weekend arrest of a carpet cleaner in the strangling deaths of two female students helped ease tensions on the University of Florida campus, which has faced five killings last summer.

"Things, under the circumstances, are as back to normal as they can be," said University of Florida rep. David Hempstead, who students returned to classes Monday.
"When you have a tragedy like that, when you lose one of your own, it takes a while to bounce back," she said.
Alan Robert Davis, 29, was charged with murdering Eleanor Anne Grace, 20, of Fort Myers, and her longtime friend and roommate. Carla Marie McKishein, 22. He was charged with killing David Davis said he had gone to clean the
students' 'rugs Thursday and became enraged and strangled the women after they sprayed him with Mace, State Attorney Len Register said.
Their bodies were found Friday by a friend who broke into their condominium at Casablanca West apartments. A tip from the owner of a carpet company led authorities Saturday to question Davis, who later reportedly confessed to the killings.
The college town is still nervous about the serial slayings in August of five students, three of whom were mutilated. After the latest killings, some students left campus for the weekend while others resumed security measures they had used last year.
"Everyone is feeling much better today since they have someone in custody," said Barbara Probert, associate director of the college's
"Students are handling it well," she said. "Although we are a bit concerned about finals next week and about the students that students have been under."
counseling center.
According to the state attorney, Davis said he punched Grace once in the face and knocked her unconscious, then he fought with McKisnie after she jumped on him in an effort to help her roommate.
Authorities would not say what might have led Grace to use Mace, a chemical spray.
Davis told investigators he strangled McKishine, then returned to Grace's limp body, sat her up and choked her to death. Reister said.
Register stressed that the suspect's account had not yet been confirmed by chemical tests.
Davis' case will go before a grand jury in the next three weeks.
