Newspapers sue to make Souers 911 call public
The Associated

Three South Carolina newspapers are demanding that
the initial 911 call reporting the death of a Clemson
University student in her off-campus apartment be made
public.
Attorney Jay Bender said he does not think
prosecutor Bob Ariail has cited an appropriate reason for
asking the Pickens County Sheriff's Office to withhold the
tape.
Bender is an attorney for the South Carolina
Press Association and is representing The Anderson
Independent-Mail, Greenville News and The (Columbia)
State.
Jerry Buck Inman, 35, was arrested in Dandridge,
Tenn., earlier this month and charged in the death of
20-year-old Tiffany Marie Souers. Authorities said the civil
engineering student from the St. Louis suburb of Ladue, Mo.,
was strangled with her own bikini top at her off-campus
apartment in May.
