The man went with her to her apartment and was seen on security footage. However, he was never seen leaving the building.

Christina Carlin-Kraft, 36, was a model who grew up in Atlantic County. She was found dead last Wednesday night in the bedroom of her Ardmore, Pennsylvania, condo.

Camera images captured a man who had contact with Carlin-Kraft in the early-morning hours of the same day. The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office has since called the unidentified man "a person of interest" in the murder.
