I have spoken with the man who lead Maureen to the house with the little boy. He is now attempting to get me more information about the family who lives there. He will call me when he gets the information I have requested. This man wanted to help Maureen because she had found his dog 6 months ago and the dog was found at Maureen's house.
The man I spoke with told me that his son, aged 13, is a straight A honor roll student. His son saw the fliers in the neighborhood and told his father that he had seen a similar dog. The man told Maureen where this was and this is where Maureen heard the little boy say the dog looked like Tahoe. I am told by the man that this little boy is about 8 years of age.
Now that I have received the information I requested from Maureen, I have a call into the Modesto Police Department to the officer in charge of the case. The officer knows that I am a criminal attorney and I left a message on his voice mail that I have information that may lead to solving the case. I did not say that I was with Maureen, as I thought it would be more likely for him to call me back if he thought I was a fresh source of a lead. I was not able to make this call until later today, so I have not heard back yet.
It would be very helpful if Maureen could get me the information about the dates and times that she has called the officer on this case and gotten no response. Should the officer not follow up with me, I will use this info to get to a serious supervisor. Police agencies have registers that log the incoming caller number and times of all callers to all departments, so, if I could give them times and dates, I can make a credible complaint. I am not willing to do this without this information. |
