The detective assigned to investigate Lauren McCluskey’s complaints about harassment and extortion — which she reported weeks before she was killed by the man she talked to officers about — has left the University of Utah’s police department.
The woman, who started working at the campus in March 2016, is no longer in her post as of Wednesday, said the U.’s spokesman Chris Nelson. He declined to say whether she resigned voluntarily or was terminated.
When officers are disciplined, they can appeal. The university has denied an open-records by The Salt Lake Tribune for any discipline of any officer involved in handling McCluskey’s case.
