The parents of a University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) student who was allegedly raped and strangled near campus are demanding that outside law enforcement be brought into the investigation, saying they fear campus police could mishandle the case just as they believe happened following another student’s death last year. The California Post has learned the victim’s family has retained attorney Tyrone Maho and private investigator Michael Claytor amid concerns that the UCSB Police Department may not have the resources needed to fully investigate the still-unsolved attack. The suspect remains unidentified days after the assault.
