soon. She was strangled with ametal slinky that her roommate identified as coming
from their own dorm room, andthis was according to the original autopsy.
Keep that in mind. The countycoroner later testified at the preliminary hearing that
(01:57):
he compared the coiled wire slinky foundunder Jean's bed with the marks found under
throat and they were a match.He would later come to change his opinion,
but for now he's saying the slinkywas the object that caused her death.
The official cause of death was manualstrangulation with abrasions, bruises and marks
from the glass and the slinky visibleon Jean's throat. Following this horrific murder,
(02:21):
the dorms were unlocked during the day, but we're supposed to be locked
for the night at ten pm ormidnight, depending on who you ask.
Stouton had no guard though, orsecurity checkpoint. You know how we have
those guards and security checkpoints on ourcampus. Well, unfortunately none of those
existed. I don't think they're veryuseful anyway, but they could or could
not be useful, but they are. They're another measure layer of security.
(02:43):
Sometimes there are deterrems if nothing else. Sometimes they are to turn exactly.
Jean's death brought attention to the factthat dorms were supposed to be locked at
night, but the students were knownto prop the doors open for easy access,
I mean, using pizza boxes andso on. I remember this kind
of thing happening in my dorm aswell, and immediately after her murder,
Lehigh doubled security patrols and started enforcingthe dorm locking rules. Though they visited
(03:06):
all the dorms and reminded students tolock their doors. The campus police chief
ordered more regular patrols of the dormsby his officers. The school sent a
letter to parents and students encouraging themto look out for one another, walk
in pairs, and stick to welllit areas. The students and tennis team
members expressed shock that this had happenedat Lehigh. This was the first murder
(03:27):
at Lehigh, which had been existentsince eighteen sixty five. Oh wow,
yeah, I think everyone was reallysurprised by this. The students were scared,
and the impact on their lives waspermanent. A year after the crime,
it was reported that women on campuswere much more aware of the dangers
of walking alone and not locking theirdoors. The dorm doors were never really
propped open anymore, except by seeminglyclueless freshmen who were soon lectured about the
(03:53):
murder. So it was just theincoming people. Everyone really smartened up and
locked down. But what about theperpetrator
