The National Football League named former FBI director Robert Mueller ’66 as the lead investigator in the independent investigationof the recent domestic assault case by Ravens running back Ray Rice.
Rice allegedly beat fiancee Janay Palmer in an Atlantic City casino elevator last February and then allegedly dragged her limp body out of the elevator. TMZ released a video of the incident on Monday, and Rice was subsequently released from his contract with the team.
The league made the announcement late on Wednesday, stating that Mueller would conduct an independent investigation of the league’s handling of the case. Mueller’s investigation will be overseen by NFL owners, and the contents of his investigation will be made public.
Mueller served as director of the FBI for 12 years from 2001-13. He is known for his investigations following the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 and his investigations unravelling terrorist networks across the globe.
