This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). It’s the story of how one college, Eastern Michigan University, accrued the largest fine in history (at the time) from the Department of Education in violation of the Clery Act. In 2008, the school had to pay $350,000 in fines after administration lied about the death of 22-year-old Laura Dickinson. For 10 weeks, they allowed not only Laura’s own parents, but also the entire university community and students, believe there was no foul play involved and that Laura had suddenly died of natural causes. But 10 weeks after Laura’s death, the university announced they had arrested a suspect for Laura’s murder, and they had actually been investigating it as a homicide the whole time. Find out the rest of the story in this episode, "A Killing Kept Secret."
