Man arrested in murder of American biologist in Greece as grisly new details emerge.
Greek police have arrested a suspect in the murder of an American scientist who was found dead in an abandoned World War II bunker on the island of Crete last week.
The suspect claimed he put Eaton, who was apparently unconscious, in the trunk of his vehicle and drove to the bunker's ventilation drain, where he raped her and abandoned her there, Papathanassiou said. He then blocked the entrance to the drain with a wooden palette and drove to a nearby graveyard where he"carefully cleaned" the trunk of his car, according to Papathanassiou.
Eaton, a 59-year-old molecular biologist and mother of two, was attending a scientific conference held at the Orthodox Academy of Crete in northwest Crete when she vanished on July 2. It was that afternoon that Eaton went back to her hostel room after lunch, changed into athletic attire and went out for her daily walk, leaving behind her mobile phone and other personal belongings, police said. She never returned.
Greek state coroner Antonis Papadomanolakis, who examined the body, told Greece's ANT1 News that"something complicated happened" during Eaton's death, stating that it was"not immediate" and"there was duration involved." Police sources also told ABC News they discovered traces of blood at the site where they believe Eaton was killed, about a mile from the Orthodox Academy of Crete in the village of Platanias, where Eaton was attending the conference.
