Koonce camera investigation stopped due to lack of leads
The case of voyeurism involving the hidden camera found in a Koonce Hall women's bathroom last month has been suspended, said Detective Carl Sweigert of the Kent State Police Department.
He said there are no suspects left, but the case may open again if anyone brings new information to light.
Sweigert said the video camera, which was found in an empty soap dispenser Dec. 4 by sophomore exploratory major Brittani Johnson, was most likely purchased online.
Its estimated price is between $100 and $120, including a receiver, which would enable the voyeur to view the live footage from a monitor somewhere. He said the camera had the same frequency as a cordless phone, and "the signal wouldn't go very far."
Although the police searched Koonce Hall, no receiver was found.
