As a former student of Western, I know the doors are never unlocked... we locked them at 10 or 12 (I can't remember cause it was 5 years ago!) when I was a night clerk. If you didn't have a key and knocked we had to go open the door and get verification of your name and room number with an ID you had to have present, if you didn't have an ID we had to have the RA on duty come down and take you to your room to get it.

So I doubt that the doors were locked.
As for letting them up- the dorm that she lived in was a co-ed dorm so it is possible the managed their way into the building, but I doubt it. WKU went to a system where you had to show your student ID to get in to the building and each dorm was color coded seperately with a sticker.
The 2 guys accused of this horrendous crime were never Western Students, either, they were just two guys. She would have had to come down and signed them in.... after hours I have never seen this policy not followed. There are strict cohabitation rules for the dorms, so you have to check people in. If they are checked in for more than 12 hours then it is a violation of the rules and agreements and the person that signed them in has to meet with the director of the dorm (or asst. director) and they get a warning. Until they meet they have NO VISITATION.

So, anyway, as for what happened to the girl- it is worse than reported. I had friends on the EMS unit that came to the dorm to extinguish the fire. The details are so gross and bad that they could barely talk about it.

I feel for her friends and her foster family the most. They loved Katie and were by her side all throughout the entire ordeal. It happened on a Saturday night, and she didn't die until Wednesday.

As for the Pikes involvement, they are RIGHT NEXT DOOR, and SHARE A YARD with the AGR's. If they didn't have a security guard then AGR would have called them as a violation of IFC policy. They get points deducted and aren't allowed to have parties or be involved in certain activities depending on how many points they have.

So all in all, I doubt their case is legit and the family is money hungry because they haven't had anything to do with her in 2 years. She was even a stripper for a short time to get money... I mean what parent or aunt or whatever would let their daughter/niece strip instead of helping them out- if they loved them and cherished them as much as these two claim to?
That is MY OPINION though.
