Jill McCluskey frantically called campus dispatchers. Her daughter, a student at the University of Utah, was going to pick up her car from a man she had just broken up with — and the mother feared he might hurt her.
“I’m worried that he’s dangerous,” Jill McCluskey said from Pullman, Wash. “I don’t want her to go there by herself and have something bad happen to her.”
At the end of the three-minute phone call — the first time the University of Utah heard concerns about the man Lauren McCluskey had briefly dated and who would kill her 12 days later — Jill McCluskey breaks down in tears.
