N.J. state trooper keyed his ex-girlfriend’s car months before killing her, police say

Lauren Semanchik knew exactly who the vandal was when she called police one night in May to report her car had been keyed while parked at work.

No one, other than her coworkers at Long Valley Animal Hospital, knew what kind of car she drove. And no one in the area even knew where she worked, she told Washington Township police in a report obtained by NJ Advance Media.
