two hours later, the cameras show him leaving lauren s residents, heading out to confront her as she returns home from an evening class. at that moment, lauren was talking with her mom on the phone. she sounded positive and, telling me that she was going to go home and finish and assignment. when she went inside what happens next? then i just hear her yell, no, no, no. and then, she must have gotten tackled or something, because i hear some noise and the phone fell to the ground. and then i kept calling for her and she didn t answer. what happened after that would be almost more than lauren s family and friends could wear. the abrupt ending to lauren s call triggers the mccluskeys worst fears and a campus white lockdown, as university cops race against time to save her.
calling you are asking who you are with and wanting pictures of people around you is not that s not protection. and that s not love? that s not. no. and she d say? she s like, oh, no, it s fine. he just wants to make sure i am okay. carmen was in the same circle of friends. she says lauren told her about a fight with shawn. he stormed off and lauren vowed she d be the one to change. she just clearly said to us, i don t want to upset him that we again. i don t want to see him that matt ever again. a couple of weeks into the relationship, shawn was practically living with lauren in her dorm on campus. he d made friends with other students there and so was able to come and go without a key card. lauren s friends thought she was sleep deprived and she seemed said. we noticed she was tired. she seemed stress. you could tell, at least physically in her face, that she was going through emotionally, a lot on her mind.
sex offenders, compass officers never tech checked his parole status. how can the path campus police department not check to see whether the sky was on parole? i don t know the answer to that question. i don t know why that didn t happen. the sense i get is that each one of these things was taken as its own separate incident. and that no one ever put them together into a threat that was growing. hindsight is always 2020. it is i think a correct assessment that all of the pieces of the puzzle were never put together. at all levels of the university life, lauren mccluskey s death has had a profound effect. sometimes institutional. sometimes personal. there are no words to express how sorry i am at the lost of this precious trial. no words. there s nothing i can say to apologize significantly, to have meeting. but we are truly sorry. you want to take a minute?
she said that. i haven t talked to a single person who agrees with that statement. it was hard to reconcile those words, with the review s own findings. that there were serious problems with capital campus safety procedures. we wanted to speak with both the administration and the campus police. instead, we were offered an interview with barbara snyder, then vice president of student affairs. lauren s death was a tragedy that affected all of us in very difficult ways, and we know that mistakes were made. we own the fact that mistakes were made. the university was unprepared for this. and everybody was sort of slow to get out of their chair and realize how serious this was. and maybe didn t realize that until she was dead. i m not sure that any institution can really, fully prepare for a sociopath coming on their campus and targeting one of their students. i don t think there is anything you could ve done to
hey, it s city. she s got a case number pending, but she is receiving additional blackmail threats. during the following days, lauren called campus police repeatedly. one officer gave her his personal cell number, and the two exchanged 16 calls and texts. we re lauren still getting more harassing tex, and still waiting for that promised update. and the police response would be what? for the most part, it was just so, we ll get back to you later. the tech should be contacting you soon. by now, lauren was sworn out. diamond s or her around that time. she s like, oh, hey, yeah. just, not even make eye contact. where i could tell something was up, but i was like, okay i haven t seen you in a while and i hope everything is okay. but everything was not okay? everything was not okay. then ten days after the break, up lauren received a particularly chilling text. what did you tell the cops, it said? we know everything. rowland let s take savvy. had he found a way to hack her
