Reporting from Courtney Tanner at the Salt Lake Tribune shows how the University of Utah mishandled the case of student Zhifan Dong, who was killed by her ex-boyfriend in February. Documents show the tragic similarities between her case and that of Lauren McCluskey, who was murdered on campus in 2018. Read Zhifan Dong’s obituary, written by Courtney Tanner, here. Utah’s domestic violence hotline (not the police) is 1-800-897-5465.
