Matthew Harris, the former lecturer at UCLA, was ordered held without bail Thursday on a charge of threatening violence against the school in online videos and an 800-page document emailed to dozens of people.
A former lecturer at the University of California, Los Angeles, was ordered held without bail Thursday on a charge of threatening violence against the school in online videos and an 800-page document emailed to dozens of people.
Prosecutor Julia Martinez said authorities would like to keep Harris in custody for now, saying he had made threats against a “whole host” of people and institutions. Another court hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. The former home of the Ramsey family is within a half-mile of Harris’ apartment. JonBenet Ramsey, 6, was found bludgeoned and strangled to death in her family’s basement in 1996. Her killer was never found.
Harris’ mother told authorities he was diagnosed with schizophrenia last year and the complaint details a period of extremely unstable behavior by Harris beginning in January 2021 when he emailed his mother about plans to “hunt” down and kill a University of California, Irvine, professor. He had briefly met the professor years earlier when both were at Duke University and then allegedly harassed her via email and text message in 2020 and 2021.
In April, Harris showed up at his mother’s home in North Carolina. He had previously threatened her and her cat, and she began sleeping “with a knife next to her and with her cat in her room with her because she feared what Matthew Harris might do them in their sleep,” the complaint said.
