Barz is the former Montana supreme court justice that investigated the sexual assaults at UM a couple years ago.

In 2011, she investigated allegations that two students had been drugged and raped by other students in late 2011.

She uncovered nine reported sexual assaults between September 2010 and December 2011, and one case led to a conviction. Barz determined the university had “a problem of sexual assault on and off campus” that needed to be corrected. She said she was disappointed that some students with knowledge of sexual assaults lied to her.

She attended 46 straight Cat-Griz football games with her husband, Dan, who graduated from Montana State.

She was very interested in finding the source of the date-rape drugs. Did we ever get some closure on that? Were the pushers of the date-rape drugs ever found?

All I know, with any degree of certainty, is the girls didn't press charges. How much that would hamper an investigation into date rape drugs is hard to say. I've heard numerous other things, but nothing I'm confident enough in to comfortably post here.
