Philadelphia, Pa. (YC) – Temple University students paint us a picture of alleged murderer Joshua Hupperterz.
This comes just days after he was charged for the murder of Jenna Burleigh, a new student at Temple University.
“The fact that I know who committed this crime, that I’ve been in his apartment and witnessed how awful he can be, makes me want to vomit,” Temple student Charmila Choudhury told us.
“I didn’t like the way he spoke to other people. I didn’t like the way he treated women. He would make very sexually harassing comments.”
“I used to hangout with him a lot until he started acting crazy .. this is shocking but not surprising,” Erin wrote in a comment on a photo of the victim, Jenna Burleigh.
This is just one of many posts depicting the personality and oddities of Joshua Hupperterz.
“He lied about his age,” Skylar, a student who had a class with Hupperterz told YC. “Like he had fake ID’s .. but they were making him younger than he actually was.”
Students all throughout campus had corroborating stories of their run-ins or experiences with Hupperterz.
All of them expressed that he seemed to be a pathological liar.
Hupperterz claimed his father was a professional soccer player and that he himself was on the Temple soccer team, in addition to being a former football player.
Hupperterz even told people his uncle was a partner of a company that produced fortune cookies.
Joshua Hupperterz, from Hawley, Pennsylvania, was charged Sunday morning with killing Burleigh.
Charges against him include murder, abuse of a corpse, tampering with and fabricating evidence and other related offenses.
The 29-year-old was also arraigned on separate drug charges, according to court records.
