Missing student’s body found
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP)
— Police said Sunday they
found a body they believe was
that of a missing University of
Northern Colorado who may
have been kidnapped by a man
posing as a law enforcement
officer.
A man was arrested in con
nection with the case last week.
Police had been searching for
Lacy Miller. 20, since she disap
peared sometime early Jan. 18.
The body was discovered in a
rugged canyon about 20 miles
northwest of Fort Collins, said
police spokeswoman Rita Davis.
“It is a relief that they found
her,” said her stepfather, Mark
Cohen. “Probably the hardest
thing is that it takes away your
hope. It is a relief if this is her.
We kind of think it is.”
On Wednesday, police arrest
ed Jason Peder Clausen, 22, for
investigation of kidnapping and
murder. Police said they had
received a tip, but would not
provide details because of a gag
order.
Miller’s family reported her
disappearance after she failed to
return from a night out with
friends. Her car was found
parked near her parents’ house
in Fort Collins.
Investigators said they
believe Clausen may have
stopped Miller by posing as a
policeman. He was known to
drive around in a white sport
utility vehicle with red and blue
lights and act like a policeman,
according to sheriff’s records.
Davis said a man fitting
Clausen’s description "may have
also stopped or attempted to stop
other women in the recent past.”

“Meters eliminate arguments over how long
someone was in a restricted time space and help
our other customers by forcing turnover and
making spaces available for more to use,” Weis
said.
Along with the new name and new mission.
Transportation Services has a new Web site
(http://transport.tamu.edu).
Weis said in the future, all current transac
tions such as ordering permits, appealing or pay
ing citations and making guest reservations will
be offered online.
Transportation Services is also hiring a con
sultant to evaluate Transit Services (formerly
Bus Operations).
The consultant will evaluate and help develop
criteria for new bus routes, look at staffing lev
els and make recommendations for what size
and how many vehicles should be added to the
fleet. Transit Services Director Gary Jackson
said.
During the next five years. Transit Services
will attempt to form a better relationship with
Brazos Transit System to assist students without
cars in traveling to places around the communi
ty other than campus.
“We want to be a more professional organiza
tion,” Jackson said. “More like a transit organi
zation in a city.”
With the name and policy change, Weis said
he hopes to improve the image of
Transportation Services and move away from
the untrue and inaccurate stories and perceptions
he said some hold about the old PTTS.
“We hope that members of the community
will begin to see our department as a service
provider,” Weis said, “and not a hindrance to
conducting business or parking on campus.”
