Local Softball Player Murdered

Palm Beach County Sheriff's office and U.S. Marshals are investigating the the death of 18-year-old Amanda Buckley. Police say the Palm Beach Gardens teen was found dead at her neighbor Jason Shenfeld's house. Shenfeld, 26 was arrested late Saturday for her murder. Police say Shenfeld raped, then strangled Buckley in his home.

Buckley's softball teammate and friend, Carol Torre, says Buckley was a generous friend, who would go out of her way for everyone. "Last week we had our softball banquet. She calls me and says: Carol I'm going to be late. I just saved a turtle in the middle of the road."

Shenfeld faces first degree murder, sexual battery and false imprisonment charges.
