Murder and Mendacity in Academe By Laurie Morrow

Mark Twain once observed, “Truth is the most valuable thing we have. Let us economize it.” Judging by their mishandling of the murder of Laura Dickinson, Eastern Michigan University must have a mountain of truth squirreled away in some dark corner of its campus.

Laura Dickinson, 22, was a transfer student finishing her first semester at EMU. On December 3^rd, she was home, celebrating her father’s 51^st birthday with the family. She returned to campus for finals, and her parents, Bob and Debra, spoke with her on the 12^th, but, after that, they had been unable to contact her. On the 15^th, they telephoned the university to ask that someone check Laura’s dorm room.
