The Missing Maura Murray podcast (You Tube, 05
February 2016, Episode 22, 24:55) states that “...according to the UMass Police
Department’s statement, a UMass [police] cadet was standing by at the time of
the [Corolla] accident [in Hadley MA]. We’ve been unable to locate the cadet or
hear their account of the incident.”
I’m not sure what the limitations are on a cadet’s duties.
However, it seems unlikely that an on-duty cadet would, by him/herself, have responded to an off-campus
car crash in a neighboring town, even if the driver was a UMass student.
Certainly, after
having received the report of the crash, it must have crossed the minds of UMPD that the driver may have
been impaired, which makes it even less likely that an on-duty cadet would be
dispatched to the scene alone.
Was the cadet who was referred to in the podcast on duty? Was the cadet accompanying a UMPD officer in a police car? Why was a cadet even at the Corolla crash scene in the first place?
