Man, Woman Plead Guilty
In Nursing Student's Murder
A New Hanover County man was
scnicnced to life in prison after
pleading guilty this week to second
degree murder in the February 1992
death of a Brunswick Community
College nursing student
David Botsko, who will be eligi
ble for parole in about nine years,
shot Stephanie Bowling of Bolivia
four times with a .22 caliber pistol
because she laughed at him when he
slipped in the mud on a camping ex
pedition, according to testimony in
New Hanover County Superior
Court on Monday, _ . .
Bowling, 22, a student in BCC's
licensed practical nursing program,
had known Bolsko, 24, for about a
week when her death occurred. She
had met him at a skating rink where
he worked as a disc jockey.
Bowling worked part-time at
Dosher Memorial Hospital in
Southport and lived with her par
ents, Wayne and Ann Bowling, in
Bolivia.
Stephanie Ayers. 23, who pleaded
guilty to to being an accessory after
the fact to murder and to stealing
Bowling's car, was sentenced to 20
years. Ayers, who has cerebral palsy,
did not testify; however, a video
taped statement she made to police
was summarized by New Hanover
County Detective Carlton Floyd.
Floyd said Botsko, Aycrs and
Bowling drove Bowling's car to a
muddy trail off River Road to go
camping. It was there that Bowling
was shot, according to Aycrs, after
she laughed when Botsko fell in the
mud.
However, Botsko's lawyer, Helen
Hinn, said Botsko claims Aycrs ac
cidentally shot Bowling the first two
times and that Botsko shot her twice
more as she lay motionless on the
ground.
Hinn said the two went to the trail
to largei-shoot with a .22 caliber re
volver registered to Ayers.
New Hanover Assistant District
Attorney John Carriker agreed to the
pleas for Bousko and Ayers, admit
ting in court that the state's case had
weaknesses and that a possibility ex
isted that the two could have been
acquitted in a jury trial.
A sundial on the Brunswick
Community College campus stands
as a memorial to Bowling, ll was a
gift from her nursing classmates to
the college.
Bicycling Burglar Stalked
Carolina Shores Fairways
A Brunswick County sheriff's detective said Monday that he had un
covered the identity of a man who allegedly rode a bicycle from South
Carolina and along golf coursc fairways to burglarize homes in Carolina
Shores last winter.
Larry Robert Dunn, 42, of Albemarle confessed to the burglaries af
ter Det. John Ingram located him last week in the Horry County, S.C.,
jail, where he was being held on charges of breaking into homes in the
Myrtle Beach area.
Ingram said he was able to connect Dunn to the Carolina Shores bur
glaries after the detective discovered a piece of jewelry from one of the
thefts at a Myrtle Beach pawn shop.
"He even confessed to one burglary that we hadn't received a report
on yet," Ingram said.
Dunn recently moved from Albemarle to Little River, S.C., where he
has been living in a motel with "a female accomplice," Ingram said. She
allegedly pawned the jewelry that led to the arrest, but has not been
charged.
Ingram said Dunn had no car and would pedal a bicycle to Carolina
Shores, then wait until dark to ride up streets or along the golf course
fairways looking for homes to burglarize. When he found a likely target,
he would bang on windows and doors to make sure no one was home
before breaking in, Ingram said.
"He would steal what he could carry in a pillow sack and ride off,"
Ingram said.
More than $6,000 worth of cash, jewelry and other small items were
reported stolen in the six break-ins. The burglaries took place between
late January and early April.
Dunn has been charged with six counts of second-degree burglary.
He remains in Horry County Jail on similar charges, Ingram said.
