“Erica and I did a lot of costuming together during our freshman year. Erica has an amazing imagination when it comes to fashion design,” Jonsson said. “I knew her in a professional and personal sense.”
Because Jonsson has maintained a close relationship with the Waddells, she was not able to comment further at the request of the family. Many of Waddell’s first-year roommates from Greenough Hall also declined to comment yesterday.
Stephen H. Kargere, the Allston Burr Senior Tutor in Cabot House, also declined to comment.
“As you know student records are confidential and I am therefore unable to discuss this matter,” he wrote in an e-mail.
He added, though, that she is not enrolled in the College this semester and that he had no information about Waddell’s whereabouts.
The Crimson was unable yesterday to contact Erica’s sister Jasmine Waddell, who is studying at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar.
