Hey, listeners, this is MikeMorford, co host of Zodiac Speaking,
and I'm excited to tell you abouta new podcast collaboration on part of and
producing for this network ABJAC Entertainment,and I'd love for you to check it
out. It's called Campus Killings andit's out right now. Campus Killings is
researched and written by my friend andfrequent collaborator, Jess Battencourt. She hosts
(00:20):
DNAID and she also co hosts MissingPersons with me, as well as co
produces other ABJACT shows, including Sceneof the Crime and Beyond Bizarre True Crime.
Campus Killings is hosted by our friends, doctors Megan Sachs and Amy Schlossberg,
who currently hosts Women in Crime.As criminologist. Megan and Amy teach,
research, write, and podcast aboutvictims, offenders, and the issues
(00:44):
surrounding our criminal justice system, andeach have over twenty years of experience working
in the system in various capacities suchas law enforcement, mental health, and
offender reentry. In each episode ofCampus Killings, Megan and Amy dive into
some of the most shocking and murdersto happen on school grounds and provide their
analysis as both educators and trained criminologists. They discussed what went wrong and what
(01:07):
could have been done differently to preventthe tragic outcome. I'd like to play
you a short preview of episode oneof Campus Killings, covering the murder of
Gene Cleary, and after you listen, go over and subscribe to it on
your favorite podcast app to hear thefull episode. Episode one is out right
now, as is a bonus episodecovering Amy Bishop, a college professor who
resorted the violence after not getting tenureat our university. If you like any
(01:33):
of the true crime podcasts from AbjectEntertainment, I think Campus Killings will be
right up your alley, so besure to check it out. Thanks for
listening and enjoy this preview, andwe'll see you back here soon. She
was strangled with a metal slinky thather roommate identified as coming from their own
dorm room, and this was accordingto the original autopsy. Keep that in
mind. The county coroner later testifiedat the preliminary hearing that he compared the
(01:57):
coiled wire slinky found under Jean's bedwith the marks found under throat and they
were a match. He would latercome to change his opinion, but for
now he's saying the slinky was theobject that caused her death. The official
cause of death was manual strangulation withabrasions, bruises and marks from the glass
and the slinky visible on Jean's throat. Following this horrific murder, the dorms
(02:21):
were unlocked during the day, butwere supposed to be locked for the night
at ten pm or midnight, dependingon who you ask. Stouton had no
guard though or security checkpoint. Youknow how we have those guards and security
checkpoints on our campus. Well,unfortunately none of those existed. I don't
think they're very useful anyway, butthey could or could not be useful.
But there are there are another measurelayer of security. Sometimes they are deterrems
(02:44):
if nothing else. Sometimes they areto turn exactly. Jean's death brought attention
to the fact that dorms were supposedto be locked at night, but the
students were known to prop the doorsopen for easy access, I mean,
using pizza boxes and so on.I remember this kind of thing happening in
my dorm as well. Immediately afterher murder, Lehigh doubled security patrols and
started enforcing the dorm locking rules,though they visited all the dorms and reminded
(03:06):
students to lock their doors. Thecampus police chief ordered more regular patrols of
the dorms by his officers. Theschool sent a letter to parents and students
encouraging them to look out for oneanother, walk in pairs, and stick
to well lit areas. The studentsand tennis team members expressed shock that this
had happened at Lehigh. This wasthe first murder at Lehigh, which had
(03:28):
been existent since eighteen sixty five.Oh wow, yeah, I think everyone
was really surprised by this. Thestudents were scared, and the impact on
their lives was permanent. A yearafter the crime, it was reported that
women on campus were much more awareof the dangers of walking alone and not
locking their doors. The dorm doorswere never really propped open anymore, except
(03:49):
by seemingly clueless freshmen who were soonlectured about the murder. So it was
just the incoming people. Everyone reallysmartened up and locked down. But about the perpetrator
