It's possible the person is here. It's possible the person isn't here. We're really at a total loss to understand this. Cogswell is a coed dorm, and most of the rooms house two students. Fernandes said students use ID cards to enter the buildings.
Guests can enter the dorms if accompanied by a resident.
After Plunkett's death, the administration increased staffing in the dorms and restricted the hours when nonresidents can enter a building, Fernandes said. Plunkett was secretary of the Lambda Society, a club for gay men and lesbians, and his death brought to light concerns many gay students on campus said they had about their safety. Police said that they had no evidence to suggest that his slaying was a hate crime but that they had not ruled out any investigative avenues. Minch, Fernandes said, was barred from campus after his arrest and was not allowed to return while Plunkett's death was unsolved. He returned to his home state of New Hampshire after the charges against him were dropped, working occasionally at the Domino's Pizza in Portsmouth, as he had during high school.
