Campus Interviews

Student who lived in the room next to Eric's last year. 

• Info received from Housing Office.
• Requested that name not be used
• Haven't seen Eric since school let out last year.
• Impressions: Eric was either "totally quiet" or "jacked up."
• Might not hear anything for days, then it sounded like "a party in there."
• When asked to keep it down, Eric was argumentative.
• Never saw signs of drug use.

Gracen Background

• Went to Valemont U Office of Admissions to gather family background from Eric's application.
• Office of Admissions said personal records are sealed, without permission from applicant, cannot be released. 
• Went back to original missing persons report - no indication of who reported Eric missing?
