A 22-year-old woman who was to graduate this year from the Camden campus of Rutgers University was found stabbed to death yesterday morning in her Lindenwold apartment.
Neighbors and a building manager said Krystal Skinner shared her third-floor apartment with her boyfriend, whom they identified only as Troy, and her 3-year-old son, John.

Crystal Bean, a neighbor, said the couple had a tumultuous relationship.

"I heard they had domestic issues. I heard . . . that something happened last night and that things got raucous," she said. "I saw them take her out in a body bag."

No arrests have been made in the case.

Bean said she did not know if Skinner's son was home at the time of the stabbing. She saw police officers taking the car seat from Skinner's vehicle and putting it into a police cruiser, leading her to believe that the pre-schooler was present.

She did not know the whereabouts of the boyfriend.

An apartment manager, who declined to give her name, said the boyfriend was not on the lease, but that the couple had lived there since February 2007.

Friends called the maintenance staff at the Laurel Hill Apartments, on Chews Landing Road, after Skinner did not show up for work yesterday, authorities said.

Bean said that Skinner worked at a Pennsauken deli.

The maintenance staff at the 110-unit complex called police, who discovered Skinner's body, stabbed repeatedly in the chest, inside her two-bedroom apartment around 9:30 a.m.

Skinner was an undergraduate at Rutgers, studying social work, said Mike Sepanic, a university spokesman.

She was slated to graduate this year, though he did not know if she was to receive her diploma in the spring or later in the year.

He said school officials would begin notifying Skinner's classmates at the 5,400-student campus of her death.

"We're such a close-knit community and everyone knows everybody else," he said. "Rutgers will certainly make available and encourage the use of our counselors."
