Freshman Jeanne Clery was killed in her dorm in 1986 and, following her murder, her parents became convinced that the University and security were at fault.
Clery, who was a freshman at the time of her death, was raped and killed in her campus dormitory. The murder of Jeanne Clery occurred in 1986, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, at Lehigh University. Clery's parents, who believed the University had failed to share vital information with its students regarding campus safety, campaigned for legislative reform for several years following their daughter's death. As Connie and Howard Clery learned more about their daughter's death, they grew convinced that she had died because of "slipshod" security on campus.
