Glorifying the Forensic Failures of the Baby Kate Investigation

The trail of Baby Kate has grown rather cold over the last 14 plus years, but a recent article in Forensic Science Research named "Green clues: unveiling the role of bryophytes in forensic science", co-authored by former LPD Detective JB Wells has brought her back to our attention.  Wells would testify twice in the two trials of Sean Phillips held in 2012 and 2016, along with plant forensic…See More

"Thanks for that answer, X. It makes it worse of a wrongful prosecution by Kreinbeink then, imo. And Hand could have had some sense to look into the file before continuing on the Petty Prosecution, imo."

"Genuuine concern, for sure. Council is IMO wrong to deny Dr. Reimer opening Andy's and the FOIA regarding grave sites. Shameful."

David Timm Versus the Goliath State

This last week I had the occasion to attend an interesting jury trial in Mason County lasting two full days.  The thirteen jurors heard a twisted tale that started with testimony from a mother about a son's homecoming that went horribly wrong, ultimately leading to the incarceration of her 41-year-old son for 14 months in the local jail and this public ordeal 22 months after the fact.…See More

X, I am unable to edit my comments and cannot attach a photo or video to my comments. I don't know if it's my computer or if it's has something to do with the forum. Just wondering if anyone else is having a problem.

Louise, in the upper right corner of the main page you will see your name and an "inbox (1 new)" link under it.  Click on that and you'll see a message from me.  Click on that, and then reply in that same space.  This will be private messaging between you and me.  I will use my resources to try and verify your claims; our sheriff's office is remarkably cloaked in secrecy (more so than the COL) since KIm Cole assumed the position of sheriff.

Sure hope to hear these names! Bullies need exposed!

I’m not sure how to message you, other than this way...sorry not good with computers. I have no evidence or proof. I’m sorry I wish I knew how to verify the claims all I can tell you is the names of the officers I heard about

Ive heard that a local corrections officer got fired for sleeping with an inmate while on duty and another got fired for falsifying his time card, also A deputy Sargent recently got demoted. What is going on at our local sheriffs office and why is none of this being reported?

I'm curious about something and have not been able to find an answer. I'm hoping you may know the answer. Is it 'usual practice' to use a person's full name in the body of an op-ed?

Idk how to use this site sorry but hopefully you could help or point me the right way
