Jamie Penich was a junior at the University of Pittsburgh. On March 1, she left to study for a semester at Keimyung University in Taegu, South Korea. That was the last time her parents saw her. Penich's Family Speaks Two months after their daughter was killed, the parents of slain student Jamie Lynn Penich discussed the incident. On Thursday, Brian and Patricia Penich hosted the media at their Derry Township, Westmoreland County, home. WTAE-TV's Marcie Cirpiani reported that they expressed a need for answers. Jamie Penich, 21, was killed in a motel room in Seoul, South Korea, where she was an exchange student on March 17. "We're at a standstill in the case," Brian Penich said. "Whatever anybody can do for us, we need help," Patricia Penich said. "We can't let whoever did this keep walking around free." Korean police have reported there were no signs of sexual assault and that they suspect Penich was attacked while in or exiting theshower. Police also ruled out robbery as a motive, noting nothing was missing from the room. Police said that Penich suffered massive chest, neck and head injuries. It was reportedly inflicted by a size 9 or 10 shoe of either the Timberland or Skechers brand. "We just can't understand how someone could've done this," said Brian Penich. "It's more than just a hate thing. ... You don't make somebody mad enough to do something like this." "We need our senators and congress members to get involved," Patricia Penich said. "We just need help." Korean officials are investigating the slaying with the assistance of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, but the Peniches said the military agency has been of little help. A military spokesman told the Peniches all servicemen have been ruled out as suspects, but the U.S. Embassy in Seoul told them nobody has been cleared in the murder. A military news agency has also reported complaints by Korean investigators who say they have been prevented from interrogating U.S. military suspects. Previous Stories:
