Description
Duarte was a student at Averett College, a private four year liberal arts school in Danville, Virginia. Duarte lived on campus in a dormitory room that he shared with Hugh Thomas Francis, Jr. On February 14, 1990, as part of his investigation into a burglary, Danville detective T.A. Smith telephoned the Averett College Dean of Students, Pat Morgan, to inquire whether Duarte and Francis lived on campus. Smith explained he believed there was a possibility some of the stolen property, namely a microwave oven and a street sign, might be located somewhere on campus. During that conversation, Morgan informed Smith that she would probably search Duartes room because of some other independently obtained information she had relating to Francis. Smith asked Morgan to refrain from searching Duartes room at that time due to his concern that her search might interfere with his investigation. The next day, Smith again spoke by telephone with Morgan, who advised him that Francis and Duarte did in fact live in a dormitory room on campus. Smith then told Morgan the police were proceeding with their investigation but never mentioned a search of Duartes room.
