NJ Cop Allegedly Ignored 911 Call About Double Murder-Suicide — and Went to ATM, Pizza Shop Instead

First responders typically run toward danger — but a New Jersey cop allegedly hit an ATM and then a pizza parlor instead of responding to a 911 call about what turned out to be a double murder-suicide, prosecutors said.

Franklin Township Police Sgt. Kevin Bollaro has been on administrative leave since Aug. 2, the day authorities found the bodies of veterinarian Lauren Semanchik, 33, and her new boyfriend, volunteer firefighter Tyler Webb, 29, inside her home.

Nearby, authorities found the remains of her 45-year-old ex, New Jersey State Police Lt. Ricardo Santos, who had killed himself.

Bollaro had been dispatched to investigate three 911 calls from Semanchik’s concerned neighbors, but never actually went to the home, Hunterdon County Prosecutor Renée M. Robeson said.

Instead, Bollaro “falsely stated in his report that he ‘checked the area along Upper Kingtown Road again and was unable to locate the source of the shots,’ and that he ‘cleared the scene after approximately 20 minutes,’” Robeson’s office alleged of the Aug. 1 incident.

Bollaro was outed by GPS data and surveillance footage that contradicted his account — and instead revealed his drive 1.5 miles in the opposite direction, to a TD Bank on Route 31 in Clinton Township, prosecutors said.
