Lauren McCluskey was a 21-year-old college student with a full life ahead of her when she was killed by a vengeful stalker ex-boyfriend. She tried on multiple occasions to get both campus police and local police involved as her dangerous situation escalated, but sadly, they failed her so many times along the way. The worst part being that if someone with the police had realized that her ex was a felon on parole–or perhaps if they listened to her when she told them this–the whole tragedy could have been avoided.
