COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Police in Columbia say they’ve closed their investigation of a former University of Missouri swimmer’s claims she’d been raped by several football players, months before she ultimately committed suicide.
Police said Wednesday the probe launched in January of last year failed to identify a suspect in the case of Sasha Menu Courey.
Menu Courey killed herself in 2011 at a Boston psychiatric hospital after withdrawing from classes at Missouri at midsemester and being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
Before her death, she told health professionals bound by confidentiality she had been sexually assaulted as a freshman in 2010.
An outside review found the university fell short of federal standards under the so-called Title IX, for the reporting and investigation of sexual assault on campus.
