The parents of a Lawrenceville teen found dead on the campus of Valdosta State University say they are frustrated at the lack of progress investigators have made determining what happened to her.

Jasmine Benjamin, 17, was found dead on a couch in a study room of her dormitory just over a week ago. Police have ruled her death a homicide.

Her step-father James Jackson tells WSB's Sandra Parrish Valdosta Police have told them very little about her death.

"When you allow days to go by," he asks, "if there is somebody involved, what if they don't come back to the school?"

Valdosta Police Commander Brian Childress says now that the Thanksgiving break is over, investigators are continuing the process of interviewing students.

"We're trying to narrow down, as close as we can, Jasmine's whereabouts and basically where she was at and the last contact anybody had with her before she died," he says.

Childress says while they can't call her death a murder until autopsy results are in, they are treating it as a homicide investigation based on information received from the medical examiner.
  
That frustrates Jackson even more.

"Let's call it what it is, a homicide, and you're looking for the people responsible, period," he says.

Funeral services for Benjamin will be held Thursday at Gregory B. Levett & Sons Funeral Home in Lawrenceville.
