Authorities are stepping up patrols near an area of Jefferson National Forest where two Virginia Tech students were found slain.
A man walking his dog early Thursday found the bodies of 19-year-old David Lee Metzler of Lynchburg and 18-year-old Heidi Lynn Childs of Forest.
Autopsies were being performed, but Montgomery County Sheriff Lt. Brian Wright said both students appear to have been shot sometime late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.
Heritage Baptist Church pastor Gerald Kroll said Friday both had been active in the church for a long time and were members of Campus Crusade for Christ.
Their bodies were found in the parking lot at a section of the forest that is a popular hangout for Virginia Tech students.
