 REDDING, Calif. – An American student who was attending college in the Netherlands, was stabbed to death Wednesday in Rotterdam, according to friends and published reports. Erasmus University student Sarah Papenheim, 21, of Andover, was killed Wednesday in her Rotterdam apartment about a mile from campus, according to AD Rotterdams Dagblad, the city’s leading daily newspaper. Police arrested Papenheim’s roommate, a 23-year-old man and cello player, Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of murder and expect he will be charged in her death soon, a Rotterdam Police Department spokesman told The Washington Post.  On Wednesday, December 13, 21 year old Sarah Papenheim was fatally stabbed by her roommate in Rotterdam, Netherlands.Sarah was living in Rotterdam and studying psychology with an emphasis in suicide, which took her 21-year-old brother's life three years ago.It's going to be very expensive for travel costs for the family and to bring Sarah home, not to mention any funeral and burial costs involved. She just got it, and was so talented and charismatic.” 
 
 Police caught up with Schelling after he got off a train with a large string-instrument case in Eindhoven, about 65 miles southeast of Rotterdam, police told the newspaper. Then as time went on, he’d get highs and lows.” 
 
 A few days before the killing, Odegard continued, “two people from mental health came over, but she shooed them away because she was afraid he would think she called them.” 
 
 She said she told her daughter, “ ‘Get out of there,’ but she wouldn’t listen to me.” 
 
 On the morning of the stabbing, Odegard said, Papenheim went to the apartment to retrieve some clothes for school and to take them back to her boyfriend’s place, “and that’s when we think it happened.” 
 
 Odegard said her daughter was a regular during weekly jam sessions at Shaw’s Bar in northeast Minneapolis. On her birthday last year, she jammed with the Minneapolis-based Bernard Allison Group at a rock venue in Germany while the band was on tour. We’ll miss you, but beat those drums in heaven, girl.” 
 
 Musicians are planning a concert to benefit Odegard and the rest of Papenheim’s family in an effort to offset some of the expenses that come with returning a loved one’s body from overseas. Papenheim and her family lived in the Twin Cities until second grade, when they moved to Redding, Calif., where she played drums in the Foothill High School jazz band. In a statement to The Post, Odegard said her daughter was always “the brightest person in the room.” Papenheim is the second child Odegard has lost.
– It's a "terrible day" in Palo Cedro, Calif., as the town mourns a young blues drummer known as "Happy Pap." That's where Sarah Papenheim grew up, per the Redding Record Searchlight, and those who knew her there (and in the Twin Cities, Minn., area where she'd also lived) are now devastated to learn the 21-year-old was stabbed to death in the Netherlands, where she was attending Erasmus University. Per the Minneapolis Star Tribune, police say witnesses heard an argument and screams coming out of Papenheim's third-floor Rotterdam apartment Wednesday. Officers found Papenheim inside the apartment with stab wounds, per a police statement cited by CNN. A 23-year-old man said to be her roommate fled the scene, but cops caught up with him as he got off a train about 65 miles away. The suspect was arrested on suspicion of murder and will likely soon be charged in her death, reports the Washington Post. Donee Odegard, Papenheim's mom, tells the Star Tribune that police and Papenheim's boyfriend told her the roommate had been getting "more and more angry" recently, and she says she'd advised her daughter to "get out of there." Even more tragic: Papenheim had been studying psychology, with a focus on suicide, after her 21-year-old brother killed himself three years ago. "My only two kids, and I've lost them both," Odegard says. Papenheim's family says it can't afford the $40,000 or so they estimate it will cost to bring her body back to the US, as well as for funeral and burial costs; a GoFundMe set up to help them defray those expenses had brought in more than $20,000 as of Friday morning.
