I think it was Nightline (Ted Koppel) that did a show of that day.
The students and the govt were at a standstill.
The military sends in one of their APCs (not firing or trying to drive anyone over) to try to break up the crowd of students.
By this time the students had had worked themselves up into a frenzy and set the APC on fire as the troops tried to escape, some on fire, some of the students beat the troops to death. Then hell broke loose.
Mob mentality, a bad side of humanity.

I think in the one I saw, they actually did find her. It was pretty interesting. I don't remember if they were certain that the gal they found was this particular one, or if they were only speculating. Looked to me like it was definitely her though.
