The 13-year-old Blacksburg, Virginia, girl who was abducted and killed last month told friends that the Virginia Tech student accused in her slaying was her boyfriend and talked of running away and starting a family with him, a friend said. Nicole Lovell described David Eisenhauer, 18, as "funny and really nice" in the weeks leading up to her Jan. 27 disappearance. And Eisenhauer, who is now charged with first-degree murder in Nicole's death, appeared to be a conscientious engineering student during the period in which prosecutors said he and another Virginia Tech freshman plotted the high-profile slaying. Nicole's friends and the first interview with Eisenhauer's Virginia Tech roommate reveal fresh details about how the two teenagers' paths crossed, their relationship and the period leading up to her death and his arrest................ Natasha Bryant, 13, said Nicole - a friend and classmate - told her and other friends that she and Eisenhauer were dating. She said the two initially made contact on Facebook and corresponded online. Natasha said she was unaware of Eisenhauer's age at the time, but she and other friends shared concerns about Nicole's online activities.
