The uncle seems to have taken the lead on getting the word out to look for her. Strangely, there are no reports of anything from the parents. Uncle expressed they are too upset. That's another strange part of this story in a way.

I don't believe it is strange, I would be too focused on trying to find her.

Her piece will still be run on the primetime news with or without the parents in front of a camera.

See my edit. In an earlier article, the uncle said he couldn't even talk with the parents because they were so upset. That was when this first happened. The father is out searching now. I should have looked before I typed that.

No but part of their JOB is investigating accidents and this obviously was an accident.




Just speculating here. If BRPD was first on scene and cleared the roadway, it still should have been LSP working a traffic accident on I-10. Right?

So, they find this running vehicle with a wallet, driver's license and cell phone in it, have it towed and don't even try to contact the registered owner. They just ship it to a tow yard.


Exactly!! I said something similar to this and was downvoted, but I totally agree. Incompetence at its finest.

Were they just waiting for the body to show up somewhere?


I don’t know the protocol (obviously), but it wouldn’t shock me to find out they delay a water search. It ain’t you’re gonna survive a Fall from there anyway and you’re going into a fast moving river. They may just wait and search further downstream.

OR...
There was a
Massive communication failure between BRPD and LSU PD and no one knew who was pursuing this case!

Again, no one really knows.

But it ain’t looking good for either agency right
Now.

Does anyone know how LSU Police ended up investigating or are they just working alongside other departments?

According to FB, there’s a big “umph” going on regarding LSU right now.

Apparently, missing persons flyers with her picture was posted around campus and they were all taken down by LSU, because they “didn’t have permission”...

Cmon. How F’d up can you be? This is one of YOUR students that’s missing.

And with all the sexual assaults, Title 9, etc going on, you can at least do the right thing with this.

Shocker - BRPD is governed by incompetent fools put in their position based on everything other than their qualifications. Baton Rouge needs Kip back so bad.

is that a sick joke? If true (and they were taken down by LSU employees) that is pretty gut wrenching. Surely not.

100% police incompetence.

They should call the owner of any found abandoned car. When one is found running. Wrecked, with nobody in it and a wallet and a phone then 100% someone should have been called right away.


That's incompetence.

Back in 2006 a man went and shot his girlfriend and sister in the AP. He drove to the bridge and jumped. They found his body 14 months later near Donaldsonville.

This is an extremely weird story. The police have a lot of answering to do here and rightfully so.

LSU has done every possible thing wrong lately. Lack of institutional control should be slapped on them and they need to clear house.

I am truly amazed that people think she didn’t have an argument with her boyfriend and jump off the bridge. I’m willing to bet they will find her body in the river around Donaldsonville by Wednesday.
