Yes, her murderer was black. First mistake. Second mistake, if anyone would just have said something ONCE he would be in jail but I guess that would be racist wouldn't it?

Speaking after what would have been her daughter Lauren's 28th birthday, Jill McCluskey told DailyMail.com she is still haunted by a discovery she made about killer Melvin Rowland two years ago. Lauren was gunned down by Rowland, 37, after she discovered he had lied to her and was actually a convicted sex offender out on parole. She had repeatedly tried to get campus police to protect her as he stalked and tried to extort her for cash. Jill said she later discovered that Rowland had confessed to a work supervisor at General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) that he was extorting and stalking Lauren.
