Jill McCluskey said relationship violence is a serious issue that needs to be addressed — widely and responsibly. “Before we lost Lauren, I didn’t know about the seriousness myself,” she said.
But her reports were largely ignored, a later independent study confirmed.
Jill McCluskey speaks about her daughter, Lauren McCluskey, during the University of Utah's campus safety conference, Mar. 2, 2023. Lauren McCluskey, a 21-year-old track athlete, was killed in October 2018 outside her dorm room by a man she had briefly dated. Wang has been charged with injecting drugs into Dong at a downtown Salt Lake City hotel. He is currently in jail and has so far been declared incompetent to stand trial.
“I’m not being critical here,” McCluskey said. “But housing didn’t communicate with police. Security and police didn’t talk. Police jurisdictions didn’t talk. There was no communication with counseling and police.” She has faced threats, herself, where she works at Washington State University, with people attacking her about Lauren’s case and victim-blaming, she said. She has called campus police there several times for help.
