WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE COPS FAIL TO ACT ?

by Bob Walsh

Lauren McCluskey was a student at the University of Utah. Among other things the senior ran track. She briefly dated a man who turned out to be a paroled sex offender. She ditched him when she found out about that. He didn't like that. She reported her problems with him to the local cops. Repeatedly.

On October 22 she was shot to death by the man, Melvin Rowland, a 37-year old who had done ten years as a guest of the state. He lied about both his real name and real age when he met McCluskey. She dumped him on October 9 and almost immediately started receiving harassing text messages, some threatening blackmail.

She reported this to both the University Police and Salt Lake City P.D. The parole division did not know the University Police were concerned about him and they did not know that he was on parole. The University P D people were so lame they did not know how to check for criminal history or parole status.
