Aside from their anguish from losing a daughter and a sister, the family of Lauren Smith-Fields is outraged and disgusted at how they say the Bridgeport Police Department has investigated the mysterious death of the 23-year-old.
"They wanted us to forget about our daughter, their sister, our loved one," said mother Shantell Fields."They thought they were just going to throw her away like she was garbage, like she wasn’t important, like she didn’t have family members who loved her. We’re fighting for her."
LaFountain told police he carried Smith-Fields to her bedroom and laid her in her bed. He then laid down next to her and fell asleep. He woke up again at approximately 6:30 a.m., finding her laying on her right side, with blood coming out of her right nostril onto the bed and not breathing, according to the police report.
But that's as much information as Jetter or the rest of the family would get during that call, as it abruptly ended.The family said the detective promised to come by the apartment. But according to them, he never showed up. The family says the relationship with police devolved from there — with no contact from the department from Dec. 13 until Dec. 29.
The family says they provided evidence that they had collected to crime scene investigators, who arrived for the very first time that day. Some of the items they handed over included a bloody sheet and a pill. For Gray-Smith, LaFountain's actions since the night of Smith-Fields' death are questionable, as he hasn't made any contact with the family. He isn't sure if LaFountain has ever been questioned in his sister's death.
