TEMUCO, Chile — Kentucky Baptist Erica Faith Hagan, 22, was killed Sept. 6 while serving as a teaching assistant at a Baptist school in the southern Chilean city of Temuco.
A May 2014 college graduate, she had arrived in Chile to serve as a teaching assistant at the Colegio Bautista, a Baptist elementary and secondary school of 800 students founded in the 1920s with the help of Southern Baptists.
Chilean authorities arrested a security guard at the college Sept. 13 in connection with Hagan’s death in her on-campus apartment where she had been struck by an object several times.
Hagan was a graduate of Georgetown College, in Ky. She had been a member of Hardin Baptist Church, Hardin, Ky., since 2010.
