I just wanted to post my thoughts on the law enforcement here in good ol' Baton Rouge. (Given the track record of this fine state, I can't say I'm suprised, though) To sum it up in a few words:
THEY SUCK!!!
I am so angry! The nerve of the police department to hold a press confrence to say "thanks" to all the departments for helping solve the case. Do you know which department was left OFF the list???? The Attorney General's office who swabbed Derrick Lee!!!!
Also, they haven't kept the lines of communication open with the families of the victims. Pam Kinamore's mother found out through the news that her daughter's murderer was caught, and Mary Anne Fowler's son found out also through the news that the police were trying to link Derrick Lee to his mother's disappearance. These people have suffered enough, don't you think the police owe them the courtesy of keeping them informed on the case???
Also, on the news last night, a girl called the tipline after Murry Pace's murder and said that she saw a black man (fitting the description of who we now know as Derrick Lee) in the parking lot of the Sharlo townhomes. He was masterbating and she told the police everything, but was told that he was probablly just a "peeping tom" and that the police were looking for a white man for the serial killer, not a black man.
Last, but certainly not least, this guy had many prior encounters with the law. Instead of wasting money on swabbing over 1 thousand white men in the BR area, why didn't they check prior guys who had already been arrested???? Also, the police stated that when they went to get his DNA, his demeanor changed from polite to "very aggitated". Why would you take someone's DNA who was aggitated and then not follow them??? How could they let him get away???
As soon as the law enforcement in this town starts doing their job correctly, I will give them all the praise they deserve, but until then, I am sickend that those people are supposed to be protecting me.
