CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- School officials from a Tennessee university say a 20-year-old student doing missionary work in Micronesia was killed.

According to a statement provided to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, police are investigating the death as an apparent murder. No cause of death has been listed.

Wolcott was a junior liberal arts education major originally from Laneview, Va.
