Lauren Semanchik faced prolonged harassment from her ex-boyfriend, New Jersey State Police Sgt. Ricardo Santos, leading her to express fear for her safety. Text messages revealed her increasing anxiety about being alone in her home and suggested his threatening behaviors, including claims of recording devices and harassment. After a breakup in 2024, Lauren communicated her fear and intentions to seek a restraining order if the harassment continued. Tragically, Santos ultimately killed her and another individual before dying by suicide, prompting an investigation into prior police interactions.
Throughout this whole experience, [Lauren] just very slowly became terrified to be alone, to be in her own home.
I FEEL THREATENED. I am a single small female who recently had water in her gas tank, a recording device in my room, and now this.
If you continue to either reach out to me or invade my privacy in any way, I will be getting a restraining order.
I do not feel safe continuing to speak to you. That is incredibly unsettling.
