how did she do everything she could she sent him 1000 dollars, kept in contact with him, we definitely need better security and to keep illegals out Biden admin allows 200 to 300 people die a day but guess they don't matter
Imagine how Lauren felt when she told the Utah police that she thinks the campus police are compromised & they told her to call the campus police. Everyone failed her except for her friends and family.
@@Silvercontainedthat is a job where u DO need to care so maybe they should consider McDonald’s if the pay is so ass that they aren’t concerned for the students safety.
@@Silvercontained Honestly that's so disgusting to think about. If they were to not care for someone's LIFE just because they're not making enough $. If you have to be paid to CARE for someone and their LIFE? Disgusting.
He knows that he destroyed his own career, is responsible for a death, and now has to live with himself, so I would say that he is being punished, at least to some degree.
This is the saddest DV case I’ve ever heard. This girl tried so hard to help herself. She did everything they tell women to do when in DV situation and the system basically ignored her.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say you don't believe in owning a firearm because you are ignoring something she could have done. Joec4997 is 1000% correct about the Police.
I wish she had just left the university and gone home to her parents. If he followed her there, maybe the local police would have taken her seriously and contacted the creep's parole officer, as the U police should have.
@@JudithRandall-vz1zk 100% and never "Met with him again" after learning the truth about him, and in turn letting him talk her into believing what ever next lie he was going to tell. This case is incredibly hard to digest.
Do you think her decision to let this animal in her life may have played a part in the outcome? We can't open ourselves up to mayhem and wait for lazy ass cops to save the day.
@@JohnnyLaps ....This is why people say Defund. WTF are they doing with our money for us NOW? Not much!!! Besides telling us to f*ck off and giving us traffic tickets!
@@JamesStreet-tp1vb Your train of thought here is exactly what is wrong. Too much focus on the "woulda-coulda-shoulda" so to speak and not on the act of murder itself. I'm so sick and tired of seeing the blame being constantly shifted to the innocent. Implying that "Oh well yeah, of COURSE there are murderers out there, but it's YOUR job not to get murdered by them." - How about this instead - Catch the F*cking murderers and lock them away so people can..oh I don't know...maybe...NOT GET MURDERED. This young woman was robbed of her life due to a completely incompetent justice system.
That cop that kept her picture is a disgusting human. May he have nothing but sleepless nights. All of the people handling her case, from the women answering the phones to the “detectives “ handling her case were horrible excuses of trash. Period.
How does a felon on Parole get to come in the Uni campus without being background checked?? I guess had the Uni done that A) He wouldn’t be able to come in and around Lauren’s dorm B) The Uni’s decision of not letting a felon on the campus, would have alerted Lauren about his shady past. This is just a thought, I may be wrong. Just that as a Mom myself, I feel really bad for this bright and beautiful girl, whose life could be saved😔
She trusted him to help her. Instead he used her photo for his spank bank. He’s disgusting. I hope anytime he gets an erection it shrivels because he remembers he’s partially responsible for her death.
I have a daughter, and seeing this video breaks me down. I'm that parent...if she calls me and says "Dad, this person is harassing me, I'm scared..." Nothing is stopping me from being there or getting her help...NOTHING! If Police won't do anything, I'll make enough noise until they do. Such a tragic loss.
Are you saying the father's guilty for going and protecting his daughter or are you saying Lauren's father I'm asking this because I haven't heard anything about a father yet... Please don't tell me she had a father and he didn't do nothing?! I just assumed he passed away or something Edit: okay I was going to erase the message but I saw the father even though I still think he should have went he doesn't look like he's about that life but at the same time I feel like when you're a father you're about anything when it comes to your kids
I'm not even going to make noise I'm just going to be quiet and take care of myself and then I'm going to take it all the way to trial and somebody in that jury trial is going to relate to a father protecting his daughter
Shameless University cops. Rest in peace, Lauren. The system failed you. This murder could have been so easily prevented. I hope the parents can find some resemblance of strength to move on with their lives.
It's American cops, Canadian security is tighter, more regulated. However we have our flaws but things like this won't fly for our unarmed canadian security. A flaw in American security, a flaw in American training.
I've also have family and friends in American law enforcement and enforcement in general, they visit Canada and I show them the difference in training, also the punishment for breaking strict Canadian laws and policy. $5000 fine and jail time for driving without car insurance, Texas cries when they RECENTLY weren't allowed to text and drive. Canada dealt with that before smartphones and internet data plans were relevant. USA allows crimes like this and cries victim.
We don't want dead bodies, we don't want ignorance as an excuse, many of these videos is due to lack of quality in the American policing and security system. The whole system needs to be scrapped and they need to be trained by Japanese police, Pakistani police, African police, British police. The corruption within these countries mentioned is just as prominent, but the laws alone and policies save lives that America has lost. I'm tired of American enforcement failing their citizens despite being a SUPER power country.
No. She failed herself, she wanted to be the white savior to a poor troubled black man and this cost her dearly. No sympathy, she saw the sings but ignored them.
A police officer kept her nudes for his own sick and twisted pleasure instead of helping her. Just sickening. She tried to take the right steps after she finally saw the truth.
@@dbodooley yes i think it happens WAY TO OFTEN for police to just get a job the next county over, and other jurisdictions don’t ALWAYS know, I have an unc that did something similar and applied two counties over with more pay, this pisses me off because they hide under the “IM RESIGNING” cloud. 😠 😡 Also when they resign it doesn’t come up as FIRED, that’s the point!
This happened during my senior year of college and it sent me into a spiral. I didn’t trust anyone. I was anxious all the time. My heart hurts so badly for her. I feel sick every time I hear her story. May her memory be a revolution.
Sounds like you're neurotic. You should seek help. Did you just realize that you live in one of the most violent societies in the world? The land of the free has 6x the incarceration rate of China, 10x any other developed country, and one of the highest violent crime rates in the entire world. The only countries with more violence than the US are basically war zones.
I feel for her but what did she expect getting w a guy who looks like that? I could tell instantly looking at the first picture that the man is up to no good
Its all relative. The point isn't that there were photos but that they were digital - this is also why it doesn't make any sense for anyone to ask for the back/ erase them - neither for him to say that he is keeping them. Surprised that it was a subject, wouldn't even want that to be part of the story. Always a chance I am missing something though, this short is all I know about the case.
This is the situation that turns a Law abiding Parent into a Law breaking criminal, and they will still side with the offender for insane reasons. The hardest part is knowing they need help and the ones supposed to be helping finding excuses not to do their job. I would end up in Jail but She'd be safe, sad to say but it's hard truth. I wouldn't harm a mouse normally, but go after my Kid like this, nope.
@TenFalconsMusic As soon as she found out who he really was, she broke up with him. Prior to that, she had no idea he was dangerous. She wasn't attracted to the lure of a dangerous man.
No way, her parents failed her the most! They did nothing. All they did was make phone calls and their voice had zero tone of urgency. The parents need to educate and protect the kids. You cannot expect the system to handle everything. You have to save yourself and your family. If you wait for others to save you then you are a fool!
Working at a college for 5 years I can tell you, do literally ANYTHING at all to avoid having campus police investigate anything. They are absolutely worthless in most cases.
I watch a lot of true crime. And I feel the same exact way as you. There’s so many cases where campus police either dropped the ball or just didn’t do anything. I wonder if when campus police don’t follow through on reports.. if it’s because the school doesn’t want to have a bad record with serious crimes associated with them.
@@xlnuniex they are hardly trained. A lot don’t carry a gun. They are rent a cops in a lot of cases. Low trained, low skill and low paid. Which is crazy since they are protecting a campus where partying and tons of drinking is going on in most cases.
Being a united States citizen for 40 years I can tell you, do literally ANYTHING at all to avoid having police investigate anything. They are absolutely worthless in all cases.
The way these agencies talked to her is fkn disgusting....like she was nothing more than a burden and a hassle, her death is on all their hands, sickening.
@@TheJcris87are you fucking kidding me. She clearly did, she reached out for help, time and time again. She knew what he was doing, but no one would help her.
As soon as I saw Laurens thumbnail on my feed, my eyes teared up. We went to Lincoln Middle school and PHS together when we were just little ones. It's such a tragic loss and my heart goes out to the McCluskey family. Rest in peace Lauren
i hope you were smart enough to avoid the communist propaganda that "we're all the same". maybe the race realists arent too dumb after all. i feel bad for her, but not for her parents. they should have taught her better than to "burn the coal".
A big muscular guy in a holloween costume with swords on his back walking on campus to her dorm didn't alert the campus police and cameras they failed to help her
Blm bro, they gonna arrest a rigga for walkin'? Nobody wants to deal with that sh!t. Think of what would have happened if someone intervened? In mostly white utah? "Racist cop arrests BLACK MAN for walking!!!!" Sure he was dressed like a clown with weapons, but don't let facts get in the way of your libtard narrative.
This is a perfect example of when a Police department needs to be sued....the unprofessional behavior of the first officer could've been a changing factor in this case😡
This story is so incredibly depressing. To think that all the cops had to do is type his name into their computer. And how can it be legal for a cop to steal that picture? Just awful.
You think if they had found out his criminal history they would’ve acted further?!! Very funny. After watching this video and a billion other stories and you still have faith in police or the judicial system to care?!!
@@last7509And COSTLY! Too many sacrifice so much including their lives pursuing bad boys and gals paying the Ultimate price......their lives 😮 Rest easy 🙏
I don't understand why violent s*x offenders are ever released from prison. Smh Who do we need to contact in regards to changing the sentencing guidelines?
The police officer assigned to her keeping her private photo that was only shared to try to get help then using her photo like that is so so awful. Horrible.
@@Michael15_25 idk just stuff I saw on RU-vid so it might be faulty information and a lot of the case is missing. Not trying to be a critic either but comments can sometimes be read that way but I think I'm getting better at this - sad very sad case - all kinds of negligence plus the bias of ppl being disrespectful - assuming that's a real text message I'd like to see what other stuff is there - if I haven't at least read the book then usually can only offer a visceral response
One thing I learned from these videos: if my daughter goes away to college, and feels threatened in anyway, I get her on the first plane or car or bus or train back home, and we lock her in, and I make sure that I am armed. This is horrible.
Better yet teach your daughter - who to date and who to not date. Who to talk at bar/clubs etc. and who you shouldn't talk to and tell them - don't date security guards/bouncers because you are in the college. It's that simple.
@rrboss3721 your shitty, victim blaming rhetoric all over every comment is sickening. It's not her fault, nor is it the fault of her parents that someone was pretending to be something other than they were and was able to manipulate her. It can happen to anyone. And shame on you for speaking negatively about a person you never met who tragically had her life taken from her!!!
You can't do that all your life for her. As the post above me mentioned, TEACH her what to do when things go south like this. Who to call, what to take photos of, where to go, and who to trust in situations like this. You can't crutch a grown adult their entire life, it's not realistic.
Big sis advice: IF THEY ARE POSSESSIVE IN THE BEGINNING IT. WILL. GET. WORSE. They will not get better. They will begin controlling your entire life. They will try to isolate you. Please if you have a bad feeling about someone please please trust your gut. Please your life is worth so much more than a relationship. These days- as this case proves- the people who are SUPPOSED to protect you are not competent enough to do so.
And people in dorms and apartments should NEVER let people they don’t know in buildings they don’t belong! People think I’m rude when I ignore …but it’s for safety.
As father of a daughter this makes me scared and angry to think no one would take any actual interest in her safety. Makes me realize I really can’t trust anyone to protect her as I would.
And she was young,white,and absolutely beautiful 👀. It's a dayamn shame that you WILL be the ONLY guy to protect your daughter from scumbags like him. Ngl had this been my daughter, he'd got 1 warning to leave her alone. AFTER that... would've put 12+yrs of hand2hand/boxing/knife/gun training to work and buddy would've been "dealt with" frfr. Mess with a man's little girl you mess with your life...Hypothetically 😒💯💯💯💪🏾🧔🏾♂️
I really admire how you gave your condolences to her family and loved ones before telling the story. The majority of channels that deal with true crime don't do this, which leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Again, thank you, and my condolences to Lauren's family. She deserved a better justice system.
It always breaks my heart when someone is in a situation like this girl who was constantly reaching out for help from the police end they end up doing nothing at all.
I attended the University of Utah starting 2019, just a year after Lauren’s murder and every time I hear this story I get so so upset. It’s not the first nor last of these types of heinous crimes to be committed against U of U students and I think there should be more attention brought to campus safety. Such appalling policework
@@trustworthydan I 1000% agree with you that students should definitely be more aware of potential dangers around them. At the same time, I think that such awareness can only do so much against deceptive predators. And I think that in this particular case (&/or department, rather), police could also be more aware of potential and active dangers to students’ safety. It’s a two way street - neither citizens nor law enforcement are perfect.
I was a student at the U during this incident (graduated the year after it happened). I had my own run ins with the incompetency of the U’s security and police. Absolutely tragic and the U still has a lot of accountability to take in the outcome of Lauren’s fate.
You're a goof. She literally did everything right and was still viciously murdered because of the incompetence of those who were supposed to SERVE & PROTECT. @@trustworthydan 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I would never (and neither should anybody else) pay ANYTHING to someone trying to blackmail me. Blackmailing someone is a pretty big crime, I wouldn't pay, but I'd sure as hell turn them in. You pay once, you'll be paying again and again. Rather put their butt in prison and let them try to blackmail me from a cell.
I feel for her but what did she expect getting w a guy who looks like that? I could tell instantly looking at the first picture that the man is up to no good
@@MrGFloydit’s not just about looks it’s about status. Women and girls how can you go out with broke losers?!!!! And lend him your car?!! Vomit. The closest thing to a woman that lowlife males of society should get is watching p⭕️rn. How he went on a date with a woman that PICKED HIM UP!! How desperate are you to go out with a male that not only doesn’t have a car 🤮 but tells you to pick him up!!!! Omg absolute pathetic women.
@@MrGFloyd she was just young. Most of her time already devoted to practicing and schooling, maybe she just didn’t have the chance to meet a wide range of people to trust her instinct😢
It is very upsetting and unfair that the university police officer did not pay for his ignorance and negligence which could have prevented the crime against Lauren
I thought the same thing. My oldest daughter is 26, in college now working on her bachelor's in psychology, I kept thinking about her while watching this! I always tell her to be careful, aware of her surroundings, etc. She always laughs and says mom I'm not a kid anymore, I know. They don't understand that no matter how old they get, they can still be abducted and we never stop worrying. I was thinking that I would have immediately made my daughter stay home! He didn't know where she lived.
@@danielleschiazza6172 yeah but they need to live they life too. Whats the point of living if you can't realise your dreams and ambitions? Cause your parents and you live in fear. Its not a life.
The craziest part about this is they only dated for less than a month. How crazy do you have to be to act like this after only a month of dating. He was completely unhinged. She didn't do anything to deserve this and his actions accomplished nothing. What a sick and disgusting person.
This is heartbreaking and absolutely disgusting. Melvin got off easy. The “police officer” and the officer who saw the image and didn’t report it should have had major consequences.
They certainly did but this was ultimately on her, I'm probably one of the most anti criminal people you're ever gonna interact with, which isn't the same as pro cop btw the stances just have a lot in common. Anyway, even I know cops are useless when it matters the most and that you should never rely on them, women just don't understand that, and more baffling even if they do they refuse to defend themselves when their bad decisions come back around, like what kind of stalking victim doesn't carry a stun gun or even pepper spray? Like ok it's a campus you'll almost never be allowed to carry a gun, but not even a fleeing tool like pepper spray? She also picked a scumbag, I promise you he was a walking red flag and she ignored all of it because she wanted to get ran through by a bigger dude.
I would’ve sent my daughter a plane ticket after realizing the police were doing nothing and told her don’t worry about packing anything and got her the heck out of there. F*** THAT!
This case is infuriating. I hope Officer Deras is banned from working within law enforcement entirely. He does not deserve to be trusted with another human life ever again. Shame on him!
It hurt my heart to hear the heaviness in her mom’s voice. The sorrow is palpable even 2 years later. I pray she heals and focuses more on the good memories of her wonderful daughter. No parents should have to go through this, but unfortunately there are a lot of evil people in this world. May God comfort and heal her parents.
This is why banning self-defense tools is so wrong. Set aside the hot button issue of firearms for self defense, many countries in Europe ban the carrying of *pepper spray!* To deny women, the elderly, and the disabled the right to self defense is absolutely wicked. I am a strong proponent of the 2nd Amendment and give large sums of money quarterly to organizations like The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep & Bear Arms and The Second Amendment Foundation. I promise you we won't stop fighting for women's rights.
So many parts of this case pissed me off that I'd need to write a book just to cover it all. Both the campus police & the local police failed miserably on this one! Poor Lauren & her family... the horror she went through, & the pain her family is going through due to her loss, just breaks my heart. What is wrong in our world??😢
Too many soft people unwilling to make hard decisions for the better of all of us. First things, stop letting criminals off easy, people with a dozen violent convictions shouldn't walk the streets.
Sure, blame everyone.... except the tribe where 1 out of every 3 males is currently a violent criminal... and those are just the ones who've been caught!
By the time she figured out he was a criminal/RSO that served 9 years in prison, she was already in too deep with him and still loaning her car to him. If that were my daughter, would have been on the next plane over there to get her out of there.
You be surprise at how many girls who are dating guys like that. Girls who date guy like this is because, they think it empower them to brag to other "My bf a gangster, thugs, etc" but they forget when bullet fly, it won't just hit or miss their target, it will hit any body around it LMAO
@@Mcfluffymittens the percentage don't matter. What matter is people especially girls who consider themselves victim of such situation need to start taking accountability for their decision making. The story of this girl might seem sad to other, but hopefully it also lead an example to other to make better life choices. People are focusing on the wrong subject of blaming the University Police but they forget there are other lesson in this video. Because shit video like this don't educate the idiot and stupid correctly about the whole story but focus on one topic only is why this world is fucked.
Wow, Ive probably watched hundreds of hours of true crime content, but only a few leave me feeling truly empty.This is one that will really stick with me. Lauren did everything right, and made it known to authorities on multiple occasions that she was in danger. There are no words to describe the incompetence of the emergency authorities involved.
@@dcdockweiler you probably missed the part she was just fucking 21 years old? Everybody can choose the wrong partner but this sick man chose to murder her, nobody else
Campus police were afraid of being called racist for bothering a black man. This is directly the fault of all you fools, particularly white women, who fell for the fake BLM scam. You did this to yourselves.
Heartbreaking.....I 100% agree But, unfortunately, this type of thing is also becoming a very common occurrence nowadays and that just sucks imo. It's a fact that we're certainly doomed as a species, I wouldn't be shocked to learn that the world cracked in half in a couple hundred years or so....I'm just saying my opinion here yo!!
You have to blame Lauren in part for being blindly trusting. Not to mention she had the internet at her fingertips..Moreover, why didn't her parents get on a flight and get her @ over there??
@iwatchtoomuchyoutube What was she supposed to do?...How about checking into him, particularly given how fast the relationship seemed to be moving? Moreover, you have to look at behaviors carefully. Another point to be made when she began to be concerned, why didn't she jump on a flight out of there? This should be a lesson for others, but it will never become an important lesson when people just say nothing to do here...All that said, it is very sad and even sadder had a good probability of being avoided.
Lauren did everything right, including looking him up after finding out his real name and birth date. I also feel the officer on duty, who also took the embarrassing picture for himself, should have had charges brought upon him. He failed miserably as an officer AND a man! I wish love and healing light to continue to shine on her family, and may Lauren rest in peace.
No she didn't do everything right. Dating men from clubs and bars is wrong and stupid. Not looking into him beforehand was another mistake. Maybe people should learn how people used to date instead of the broken dating scene that exists today
Didn’t have to scroll far for the victim blaming comments. You should be ashamed of yourselves. You have no idea how skilled these predator men are. They know exactly what to say and do to hook in anyone and manipulate them.
@@BushidoNinjawow blaming a woman for something a man does is so revolutionary of you. Why would a small college girl be afraid of a large man 10 years her senior? People have been meeting in public places like bars for literally hundreds of years. It's not her fault he is a convicted predator, criminal and lied about his entire life. People will tell women to choose better men but say nothing about the men who will do everything in their power to lie and manipulate women into believing their fake persona. Misogynist.
Girls and women know this well. Let this be a lesson to all men: listen to girls and women and call out all men who behave badly. All women I know either have been a victim or know a woman who's been a victim and yet most men I know say they don't victimizers. The math ain't mathing. It's not all men but it sure as hell is always a man.
@@trishpipkins No thanks, I won't believe all women because as a man I've learned that women are proficient liars and manipulators. They will even lie and manipulate other women around them in order to gain power and sympathy.
This is disgusting!! Why have campus police to protect students when they don’t actually protect! This entire department failed her and they should all be fired!!!
All the authorities involved here have blood on their hands. This poor woman tried so hard to keep herself safe but was failed at every turn. It's both tragic and blood-boiling.
Not really, I mean sure they should be fired but it wasn't their fault Lauren got involved with a clear as day total scumbag because she wanted to get ran through, and then refused to do anything to defend herself, sure he's a big dude but even some tiny pepper spray would have saved her life, she didn't even bother with that. No, girls think that having someone with them is a smart form of defense when that's not only extremely unreliable but also your friend probably isn't gonna do a damn thing besides maybe call the police.
as a mom of 3, that phone call she made in attempts to protect her daughter from miles away hurt me!!! i could feel her worry. i’m sorry this happened to you Lauren, may you rest in peace🫶🏻🫶🏻
I used to work as Public Safety for a private college in Southwestern Illinois. It was a small Methodist university, and the new students were given such horrible 'advice' from the RA's, such as, "Leave your door open! You never know who you might meet!" I had to tag along on these tours, as the new students were walked around the campus and shown where the buildings were. When they were told to leave their doors wide open, I would interject, "Yes! You can meet your r*pist this way, since folks like to prop open the exterior doors, which allow ANYONE to walk in...not just students. So if you want some guy to get to know you in the carnal way, leave your door open!" I was reported for telling students to keep their room doors closed and locked for their own safety. I'd passed out my own cellphone number to students, so if they drank too much, or if their driver was drunk or high, or if some girl's date was getting too handsy, they can call me, even if I was at home, and I would come get them and take them back to campus. I was threatened with being fired, if I ever drove another student. The college would prefer their students driving drunk, than have a security officer drive the student (in case I wrecked and they decided to sue.) The president of the college told the parents, "Your child will drink, smoke pot and sleep around. Don't get upset, it's all a part of the college experience." When gals came to us about their boyfriends hassling them, we were told to not get involved, "because in two or three days, they'll be kissing each other, and all lovey-dovey, so stay out of it."
Seems like this country is so scared of being seen as it is that even the adults are giving kids bad advice which should be the problem but if u open yr mouth to tell them the truth your a pariah - its so bad that we have to lie, bite our tongue and act like we dont give a crap just in order to keep a job and pay the bills bc the hippy skippys in charge are so devoid of realism and ethics that its taboo to speak the truth. If the parents havent instilled morality in their kids by the time they start college dont blame the school, the police or anyone else - its starting earlier now and even seems to be encouraged for kids to just let it all hang out and dont think rationally or it might be construed as some kind of ism or phobia when its just common sense to most ppl.

And shame on that goddamn Police Department. I've never seen anybody try to get help so goddamn bad in my life and then the end up dead like that. Then on top of that he's all over the campus all over the campus! Is she begged him to help her! She approved and everything. The cops couldn't help themselves out of a goddamn wet dream, absolutely worthless they should really really be ashamed of themselves😮
Family of murdered college athlete Lauren McCluskey settles with University of Utah for $13.5 million. It won’t bring her back. But I’m glad the university was held accountable. University of Utah President Ruth Watkins, for the first time, admitted Thursday (after lawsuit was settled) that the administration and campus police did not properly handle McCluskey’s repeated pleas for help. Watkins also admitted that the 21-year-old senior’s death was preventable.
As someone who was also harassed at a university and not a single thing was done about it, my heart breaks for Lauren. I pray that literal scum of the earth man is suffering wherever he is.
Such a tragic case. My heart goes out to her family. A life with such promise, killed by a person with nothing to offer to anyone. All you ladies out there, be careful with whom you let enter into your lives. Peace and goodwill.
I'm going to be honest, I would have to take my child off campus until the police did their job and took the situation seriously. Or I'm going to be with my child every second, fully strapped and ready, until something was done and I know my child is safe. The way Lauren kept reaching out to her parents and to everyone else was clue enough that she really did not want to be alone during all of this. Just breaks my heart. Lauren was her only advocate during this horrifying situation. She did everything she could possibly do but no adults or officers came to her rescue. She had to suffer this alone until that monster got what he wanted.
I fourth this… As a parent, my first priority would be my child’s safety. If after her doing everything necessary, the system does nothing!! I don’t care if it’s another state or country…I will be next to her. And that scum would be than ‘dealt with’ by a Parent.
Person #5 here agreeing with you all! Each family member has their own personal opinion and unique experiences but I wouldn’t be able to sleep or live my life normally knowing my daughter is in trouble or in danger and nothing is being done! My heart breaks for Lauren mom!! She did her best with all the resources available to her but I believe she trusted her daughter has the situation under control and trusted all those “enforcing” the rules laws and polices to protect her daughter. I don’t believe she ever thought Lauren would lose her life. I mean no one does. The system failed her and all those clowns wearing uniforms and representing justice and integrity were the biggest problem and her biggest enemy. She never stood a chance. Which is why I’m thankful for these videos so that I can be ahead of the curve and use this to spread awareness and educate my daughter.

It's hard to believe that with all the care, attention, and education she received growing up that the parents failed to warn her about dating certain types.
She wanted to find out if the stereotype was true like most women of her type in college. They get ran through by those type of men then settle down with a wm that will provide for them after they get it out of their system.
I've heard about this case many times, & never heard of the Deadpool costume situation .. A random man dressed in a costume on campus proves the lack of concern for every student on campus. Poor Lauren. This was a literal nightmare 😢
I met someone who lied and scammed my parents. He stalks me. Shows up at my house in the middle of the night, knocks on windows, tried to get doors open....the cops know who he is but will do nothing to help me. I did buy a gun and it's always loaded.
Kiddo, make sure you contact a few people who you truly trust and let them know that you are being stalked and have a firearm. Set up a code system. Call each one on a daily basis and give them a code word that they'll know you're okay. Or have them call you. If you don't answer, try one more time and then call the police to do a welfare check immediately. Just my 2 cents 😊
This is the 4th time I've watched a video about Lauren. I get angry every time. Lauren tried over and over to save her life and the pathetic police ignored her. Rest in Heaven, Lauren.
@nate9798 facts cases like these really tick me off. She was young,white, beautiful, feminine, NOT racist,and a vibrant young woman who apparently gave EVERYONE a fair chance... EVERYONE she reached out to failed her tbh😒. Hope the scumbag is getting his payback in eternal torment 😡💯💯💯💯🧔🏾♂️
This is such a hard one to listen to, she made so much effort to protect herself to no avail. That man was so evil. He pursued her relentlessly, just to murder her. It must have been so hard for her parents to hear her kidnapping
They don’t. They tell you to get a restraining order which takes time. I got lucky when I went to the police station and brought my mom even though I was an adult. An undercover officer overheard the voice mail messages I was playing. The ex said he was going to “ take me out” if he saw me out jogging. He asked for his phone number and threatened him. I was so grateful. Still scared though.
How the police departments handled this is absolutely despicable. Every campus officer that had any hand in this case should be charged and fired. I feel so sorry for Lauren and her family 😢
@@themadhi-hatter6849There are over 750,000 police officers in the United States, making millions of arrests every single year. Do you seriously expect nothing bad to happen? Being antagonistic towards cops just increases the number of incidents. By the way,, when mass shootings occur, who is going to stop the killer, seeing as how the police are so untrustworthy?
Oh good, thoughts & prayers from the university 🙄 this case is disgusting and infuriating. Not only is campus police responsible but the SLC police department should have been held accountable. How many times does a situation like this have to happen before they start doing their jobs??? I think police departments around the country need to start employing mental health experts full time; psychiatrists, therapists, counselors that specializes in mental health, addiction, domestic violence just like the FBI has. Beautiful young girl who had her entire life ahead of her, taken far too soon by a narcissistic psychopath posing as a human.
Yea. Let’s get more government employees on the payroll. They have all done amazingly so far. Why is everyone’s answer always to demand more of the same thing that has failed time and time again? It’s not that simple unfortunately.
@@joeblowjohndoe206 when did local law enforcement try this??? It's not that simple?? So do nothing....that's your answer. Everyday three women are killed by a current or ex intimate partner. 56% of female homicides was perpetrated by their partner. In the US 72% of all murder suicides involve an intimate partner; of those 94% of the victims are female. In many cases of femicide (this case for example) it was preventable. So "it's not that simple" isn't a good enough answer. Try harder.
because that's already the policy and they didn't do it, Jesus Christ. OP said FBI has specialists in this, the families of Larry Nassar's victims are literally suing the FBI because they didn't stop him when they knew he was a danger; is this sinking in yet? Do you honestly believe the University Campus police official public protocol is to ignore potential victims and keep victims revenge porn images as personal pornography stashes for officers??? Again, why do you guys keep asking for more of the same thing when you keep getting handed examples of it not working? Repeating stats over and over is not impressive, what is impressive is the guy earlier this year that was covered on Colion Noir's channel that stopped 3 men from abducting a woman as she was getting into her car using his legally obtained firearm. But between that and narrowing down on exactly who would be behind this repeat offender being given so many chances, I'd be surprised if you're interested in any of those answers. By all means though, you keep "trying harder" by octupling down on the same strategies while convincing yourself you're better than others because at least you're "doing something." @@BAW47
The cops are not allowed to do their jobs. If they do, they are accused of murder, or harassment. They have no one, especially the younger generation…letting them do their jobs. Back when police were respected, they would have shot that guy down..no questions asked.
I would add...why didn't Lauren check into his background she had the internet? Why didn't her parents? And why was she so trusting before getting deeply involved (like inviting him to her room and lending her car to him)? Why didn't the parents get her out of there early on? In sum there is alot of blame to go around
