<DIV dir=ltr>I wonder if the Idaho Statesman, on the heels of its oh so innocent
"dear U of I students, do you feel safe? We want to hear from you"
questions, successfully stirring the anti U of Idaho crowd in the Treasure
Valley, will bother to note or make mention of either the MPD press release or
the statement and time line published on Vandal Venue today. I would bet
not, and if they do, you'll find it somewhere near the classified ads section,
in a short blurb at the bottom of the page......<BR><BR>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=ecxMsoNormal><B>August 26, 2011 (Moscow,
Idaho) –<A name=OLE_LINK4 target=_blank></A><A name=OLE_LINK3 target=_blank></A>
</B>The Moscow Police Department is releasing the following supplemental
information in reference to the homicide of Kathryn M. Benoit and suicide of
Ernesto Bustamante. </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=ecxMsoNormal>Documents seized during the
search of hotel room #213 at the University Inn confirm Kathryn M. Benoit and
Ernesto Bustamante first met in the fall semester of 2010 when Kathryn M. Benoit
was a student taking psychology 218 taught by Professor Ernesto
Bustamante. It was determined that by the end of the semester Kathryn M.
Benoit and Professor Bustamante were involved in an active sexual
relationship. Documents seized pursuit to the warrant indicates that
Kathryn M. Benoit filed a sexual harassment complaint with the University of
Idaho on June 12, 2011. In the complaint it was alleged that threats of
violence occurred on three separate occasions where Professor Bustamante held a
gun to her head and detailed the manner in which he would use it. The
first incident occurred the end of January 2011, the second incident occurred
the week after spring break 2011, and the third incident occurred the second
week of May 2011, which ended the relationship. Professor Bustamante
denied the allegations of violence and sexual harassment. Professor
Bustamante filed a formal complaint against Kathryn M. Benoit on July 8, 2011 in
reference to making unfounded complaints and potential defamation of
character. Professor Bustamante stated the two had a close personal
relationship sharing intimate aspects about their personal lives.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=ecxMsoNormal>On June 10, 2011 at 3:04 p.m.
Lt. Lehmitz received a telephone call from Kathryn M. Benoit. This call
was a result of the University of Idaho referring her to address safety
concerns. Lt. Lehmitz spoke with her advising her of basic safety
principles and to call police if any threatening or suspicious incident(s) were
to occur.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=ecxMsoNormal>On July 14, 2011, the
University of Idaho requested the Moscow Police Department participate in a
threat assessment concerning the alleged threatening behavior of Professor
Ernesto Bustamante relating to Kathryn M. Benoit. As a result of the
information gathered in the threat assessment, the Moscow Police Department
attempted several phone contacts with Kathryn M. Benoit, leaving messages to get
in touch with the Moscow Police Campus Division, but she did not return the
phone calls. The Moscow Police Department notified the University of Idaho
that Kathryn M. Benoit was not returning phone calls. The University of
Idaho indicated Kathryn M. Benoit had been referred to Alternatives to Violence
of the Palouse and that a safety plan had been discussed. The Moscow
Police Department was then informed by the University of Idaho that Kathryn M.
Benoit did not want law enforcement involvement. </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=ecxMsoNormal>On July 19, 2011 the
University of Idaho notified the Moscow Police Department they were not able to
make contact with Kathryn M. Benoit and requested that police conduct a check of
her welfare. Before the Moscow Police Department was able to make contact
with Kathryn M. Benoit, the University of Idaho called the Moscow Police Campus
Division and cancelled the welfare check request as the University of Idaho had
made telephone contact with Kathryn M. Benoit and confirmed her welfare.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=ecxMsoNormal>The only Moscow Police
Department records relating to Kathryn M. Benoit indicate that she had pawned
property on three different occasions during 2011.</P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
