<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Darrell,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hold onto your seat, but I happen to agree with you that LSCO doesn’t owe me an apology.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">However, please allow me to make a couple of points.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">First, if the LCSO’s “intelligence” shows <b>me</b> as a suspect nearly <b>two weeks</b> after PostcardGate, then the investigation is doomed. Seriously. I’m a law-abiding citizen who has <b>never</b> hesitated to own my statements, opinions, and actions, or to respond to inquiries. I have willingly cooperated with LE whenever asked and whenever I’ve had any information I’ve thought could be helpful.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Whatever “intelligence” LCSO is relying on that gave them <b>any </b>reason to think of me as a suspect is . . . well . . . suspect. I can only hope that they’ll look very, very closely at the source of that “intelligence” and at the potential motive(s) for sending LCSO down a rabbit hole. If not, then my tax dollars are being wasted.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Frankly, I’m not surprised that the quality of “intelligence” is so very poor. My personal opinion is that PostcardGate won’t be solved because solving it would be embarrassing to certain fringe elements in this community, a fact I suspect even the sheriff has started to recognize. May as well return that Reward money to donors now: Election Day will be over in fewer than 72 hours, and this “priority investigation” will rapidly cease to be a priority investigation, particularly when considering the Embarrassment Factor.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Second, if I’m misunderstanding my status as a suspect & Detective Anderson was genuinely seeking assistance, I’ll say that I grew up – thanks to my grandmamma -- knowing that you’ll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Not calling in advance is rude enough, but rousting me out of bed is beyond the pale.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Third, surely you’re not satisfied with the level of professionalism of the LCSO when detectives show up without uniforms & badges or even business cards?! As a taxpayer who pays a full share of taxes (unlike sham entities who take advantage of a partial or full free rides), I’m shockingly disappointed at this lack of professionalism. I’ve been a member of this community long enough to remember when the LCSO had a degree of professionalism that’s seemingly absent now. I’m <b>not</b> faulting Detective Anderson because this kind of direction <b>should</b> be coming from the top, and it’s clearly not, but hey – people get what they vote for. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Perhaps accounts such as mine will make reasonable people think. I hope so, because I think it’s crazy out-of-control when an innocent person like myself can be rousted out of her bed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Please, think about that for a moment: there’s absolutely <b><u>no</u></b> <b><u>credible</u></b> <b><u>evidence</u></b> that I had anything at all to do with PostcardGate because not only didn’t I have anything to do with it, I don’t have any knowledge of the moron who did it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Yet, I was unreasonably rousted out of bed. If it can happen to me – someone who has a long history of taking responsibility for what I say & do – it can happen to you. And to any other member of this community.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If that doesn’t give you pause, then God forgive you.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>

The LCSO does NOT owe Saundra an apology for not calling ahead. Cops don't call ahead for things like this! An inherent part of the collection of evidence and statements is the element of surprise. Give a person warning and you give them a chance to cover their tracks, concoct false stories, etc. It is standard practice.</p>
