The death of a 22-year-old Binghamton University nursing student was declared a homicide Saturday, as police sought a person of interest who had a prior domestic/romantic relationship with her.

Haley Anderson, a senior BU nursing student from Westbury, on Long Island, was found around 12:53 p.m. Friday in a residence at 23 Oak St., Binghamton. Police said officers had responded to that residence for a check the welfare complaint.

Investigators determined a person of interest in Anderson's death — police only said he is a male nursing student at BU — had already left the U.S. on an international flight prior to the discovery of her body, Binghamton police said in a news release late Saturday. Officials did not name the person of interest or disclose where he traveled to.

Classes and clinicals for senior Decker School of Nursing students at BU were canceled Monday.

A funeral service for Anderson will be held at 5 p.m. Sunday at Donohue Cecere Funeral Home in Westbury, New York.

Binghamton police investigate crime scene on Oak St.

On Friday afternoon, yellow crime scene tape barricaded the Oak Street residence, which Broome County property records indicate is a two-family residence.

Detectives canvassed the neighborhood for at least two hours after Anderson's death was discovered, knocking on the doors of neighboring houses, while other police officers stood watch.

A Binghamton police crime scene unit was also dispatched to the residence to take photos and document evidence.
