Camp Unidentified man seen departing Budig office
A University of Kansas employee unlocked her Budig Hall office door to find a man walking out that she had never seen before.
Rebekah Senger arrived at the office Sunday at 9:54 a.m. to go to work. Senger is the senior administrative assistant for Instructional Development and Support at the University.
After she turned on the lights, the man walked by and left the office. Senger said the man startled her and that it was an unfortunate incident.
She described him as a 5-foot-9-inch white male;200 to 210 pounds; dark, short hair; and a mustache with hints of gray. He also had a radio on his belt.
The Budig Hall janitor does not match Senger's description and was not in Budig at the time.
Although no there were no new developments, campus police were still investigating the case, said Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.

Jury finds father, friend guilty of murder, abuse
Neil Edgar had little visible reaction, but Boyd cried when the verdicts were announced. Sentencing was set for Nov. 13. Attorneys for both defendants said they would appeal.
OLATHE —A Johnson County jury took five hours to find father Neil Edgar Sr., 48, and baby sister Chasity Boyd, 20, guilty of first-degree murder in the December death of Brian and guilty of abusing two other Edgar children. The boy's mother, Christy Edgar, pleaded guilty last week to the same charges.
sale they would accept.
Prosecutors said the Edgars and Boyd punished the child Dec. 29 for stealing food by wrapping Brian from head to toe with duct tape. They left Brian overnight with only his nose uncovered, and he suffocated on his own vomit at the family's Overland Park home.
Defense attorneys argued that Christy Edgar was responsible for Brian's death because she manipulated her husband and members of the God's Creation Outreach Ministry in Kansas City, Kan.
Neil Edgar, the pastor of the church, testified that he left nearly all major decisions to his wife, including how to discipline the children. He said he originally had claimed responsibility for Brian's death to protect his wife of 31 years.
The Associated Press
Boyd's attorney, Bob Kuchar, had argued that his client had the mental capacity of a 13-year-old and was manipulated by Christy Edgar.
Christy Edgar's sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 5. She faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole for 20 years for first-degree murder and about three years in prison on each of two counts of abuse.
