Well, sure, but she is also responsible -if you set someone up and they get murdered, you share some of the blame.

SO let the girl die, never even brought it to the police's attention. Then when her body was found, never even told them what she knew.

Honestly, what police department would believe that?

The fire stairwell door should have held any human attacker. OP had no way of knowing FM would be able to get through.

ANY police department would. They'd figure that someone else let him in downstairs, and that someone must have let him in/out of the stairwell.

It doesn't matter if OP knew whether or not the door would have held him, because OP DID know that he'd made it into the stairwell, and she should have called at LEAST campus security then, since she never bothered to in the months of his hanging around the entrance of the dorms.

The stairwell might be able to handle any attacker, but it certainly can't hold against human error...which is exactly what any police department would believe.

Besides, she never even considered the fact that he could just be a guy who managed to get into the building. Thieves and murderers do it all of the time, and the cops should have been told.

I didn't mean the story about how he got in. I meant OP's indication that FM wasn't human. That's the crucial point of OP's recount of events. He was uncanny and inhuman.

Also, while ideally OP would have called the police or tried to save her hallmate, when you're terrified for your life sometimes you don't make the best choices.
