BENNINGTON â A housemate of a man who went missing earlier this month and was later found dead in the woods claims police didnât act quickly enough because of his race. Jordan Krawczyk told Bennington Select Board members on Monday night that he believes his housemate, Hans Heck, died following negligence by the Bennington Police Department. âI believe he was racially profiled and they just left him to die,â Krawczyk, a Bennington resident, said in a public comment during Monday nightâs board meeting. Heck, 35, was a Hispanic American born in Peru, according to a provisional copy of his death certificate. It identified him as a military veteran who served in the Persian Gulf.
