Log 3: Graduation
June 2008
Antonio, Charna-Marie and I all graduated together with associate degrees in
criminal justice. I was fortunate enough to receive the Outstanding Student
Award and was really excited that my family was able to be there to see it.
The team and I are still working on our suspectology for the Chandra Levy case.
We are including information on each identified suspect such as marital status,
criminal history, educational background and loveual history.
Tapping into the suspects' pasts helps to give us a better understanding of
what type of person we are looking at. Whether the person is an abuser, has
been married several times or has a college degree helps the team to make a
determination on who we are dealing with.
Who is the suspect? What do they do? Where are they from? When did they become
of interest and why?
Criminal history is one of the most important aspects of this study to me.
Making a link between previous offenses and the possibility of the current
offense at hand is damaging. The education of the suspect is also extremely
important -- and family dynamics play a role in determining the mental
stability of a suspect as well as possible motives.
Researching their work history also helps to determine how reliable a suspect
is -- whether it's showing up for work on time or any incidents that occur
while on the job. Linking the suspect to a victim must include all of these
areas. You must never underestimate the power of a small a detail or the
importance of a bit of information.
*** Don't Miss ***
The smallest tidbit coming from a source that you never originally intended to
look at could be the thing that breaks your case.
This includes medical history. Often, medical histories are not included in a
case file but they can be filled with valuable information.
For example, some violent crimes are not reported but there might be records of
medical treatment. This is often true in domestic violence cases. These medical
records help to determine if a suspect is violent, vulnerable or prone to
physical injury.
To properly prosecute a suspect for a crime you must not only link that suspect
to the victim but also to the crime scene. Why would they go after this person?
What would the suspect gain from this crime? When was the suspect there? You
can never have too much personal information on a suspect.
Next we will cross-check the suspectology with the victimology. The victimology
is being done at Faulkner University in Alabama. They are one of the CCIRI
partner colleges along with Bauder and Auburn University Montgomery. We hope
both of these studies result in the same suspect.
Log 2: Learning from the pros
May 2008
It was a really busy month. I am near the end of my internship with Betsy
Ramsey of the DeKalb County Solicitor's Office. She is one of the experts that
we have been fortunate enough to work with on the cold cases.
It has been such an amazing experience to be able to work hands-on with someone
like Ms. Ramsey and see what it is that criminal justice professionals like her
really do on a day-to-day basis. I will miss being there.
Graduation is at the end of this month, and I am trying to get ready. My sister
and mother are coming in from California for the ceremony, and I am really
excited. Once my two-year degree is completed, I will start on my bachelor's
degree. I have a job lined up and cannot wait to start my career in the
criminal justice field.
Having the opportunity to work with the CCIRI has provided me with some
excellent experience that I could put on my rИsumИ. Although I am graduating, I
will still continue to work on the cases with the group.. Both current students
and alumni in the field are encouraged to continue working on the cases through
their duration.
I couldn't just stop working on them anyway. I have invested a lot of time and
energy in each of these cases, and want to make sure that we have some positive
outcome.
On Thursday, May 15, the CCIRI students were able to meet with a couple of the
experts and compare notes. Shawn LaGrua, a career prosecutor, was very involved
in our process of eliminating and narrowing down our list of suspects. It was
great to have her there and get her opinion on what we had. She brought another
aspect of how to look at these cases.
She explained to us the type of information we would need to put together a
case that might be successfully prosecuted against the various suspects and how
to slowly put together the pieces of the person's life to figure out just what
happened.
The rest of the students and I have divided some of the work on suspect
profiling and set a deadline. Once this is complete, we will met with Ms.
LaGrua again and get her thoughts on our assessment of the suspectology.
Log 1: Hands-on experience
January-April 2008
I currently work with the Solicitor's Office in DeKalb County as a student
intern. I go to court every day, working with victims of crime and their
families. This opportunity has shown me what is needed for probable cause.
I constantly look at our research as "what will the prosecutor need" to
successfully see this case through to conviction. This has helped me to
evaluate the facts and evidence of both cases and not just point the finger at
the suspect that "looks good for it."
I have been very lucky to be able to attend training on conducting interviews
and interrogations that was facilitated by William "Bill" Wagner, a former D.C.
police officer during the time that Chandra Levy was missing.
This training was also attended by law enforcement officers from surrounding
states and jurisdictions. During the training, we learned how to interview
someone properly and how to proceed when you receive certain responses.
We also learned what signs to look for if someone is lying during an interview
or interrogation and how to obtain a confession. Wagner also wanted to prove
that not everyone asks the right questions. So he paired us off into teams of
two with one person being a witness to a crime and the other being the officer.
It was good to know that even being the only students, we were not the only
ones to ask the wrong question.
The knowledge that we obtained during this training will be used in both the
Levy and cases. We will be able to use these tools to help determine truthful
and untruthful responses given by potential suspects during the original of
both cases.
We will look at transcripts and videos and attempt to help rule possible
suspects in or out of consideration in these cases. We will also brown townyze what
could or could not have been done to help obtain the information needed to
resolve these cases.
We hope to also be able to conduct some interviews of our own. This will be
just one portion of the type of research and brown townysis that we will do in
evaluating these two cold cases to help us find possible conclusions.
I was also able to meet with Susan Levy, Chandra's mother, during the course of
our investigation. Being able to do this was very meaningful to me because,
just like in our previous case dealing with the Atlanta child murders, having
the family members' blessing is a great motivator to work toward helping to
find some resolution in the cases.
He came to New York with high hopes and expectations. When coach Juan Carlos
Osorio was lured away from the Chicago Fire in late 2007, he brought with him a
pedigree of experience that ranged from MLS to the English Premiership to the
Colombian league.
A pragmatic and thoughtful coach, the bilingual Osorio was expected to pick up
the pieces for the Red Bulls after a so-so stretch under former national team
coach Bruce Arena. So far, it has been more of the same under Osorio. The Red
Bulls are mired near the bottom of the Eastern Conference and Tuesday's 2-
0 U.S. Open Cup loss to Crystal Palace Baltimore of the United Soccer League's
Second Division was an embarrassment.

The early returns on the Red Bulls under Juan Carlos Osorio have been
disappointing.
On paper, it made sense for the Red Bulls to field a reserve team for the Open
Cup game. After all, the team was coming off a cross-country round trip to L.A.
(to face Chivas) the weekend before. Having said that, the makeshift team
Osorio sent out clearly went through the motions and disappointed members of
the Empire Supporters club that had made the trek to Maryland. One also has to
question whether Osorio made the right decision to overlook the Open Cup.
After all, it ignores the fact that the emptiness of this franchise's trophy
case is only matched by the bareness of Giants Stadium on game night. With only
an Eastern Conference trophy and a La Manga preseason title to boast of, this
is a team and a fan base that needs something to rally behind. Advancing
further in the Open Cup might just be that spark.
Last year's third-place finish had been a realistic standing for a team that
was still a work in progress. In his first full year on the job, Arena had
begun to piece together a team that was performing reasonably well. Finishing
12-11-7 and with 45 points, there was reason for hope in New York. Arena's
premature firing may have been enacted by other factors and clashing visions,
but it left Osorio with a competitive team.
Through 15 games last season, the Red Bulls tallied 24 points on seven wins,
five losses and three ties. Fans were disappointed in the bland play of
million-dollar midfielder Claudio Reyna but hopes were buoyed by the emergence
of Jozy Altidore as a star forward in the league. His partnership with
Colombian striker Juan Pablo Angel was proving lethal and rookie Dane Richards
was a catalyst in a productive midfield. It wasn't an ideal finish to a season
with such promise because the Red Bulls lost in the first round of the
playoffs, but it was something positive, and more importantly, it was
continuity.
The Red Bulls, who completed Game 15 of the season Friday with a humiliating 4-
0 loss to Colorado, seem to have taken a step back. With five wins, five losses
and five draws, the Red Bulls have 20 points, four behind last year's pace. The
offense is averaging a mere goal a game and the defense has conceded seven more
goals (22) than at the same juncture last year.
It can be argued that Osorio has done a reasonably good job with a lot less
than Arena had at this point last year. Angel has missed much of the past month
with an injury and both Reyna and Richards have had health issues. The recent
sale of Altidore to Spanish club Villareal has also left the club with
virtually no effective forward options.
However, Osorio's cause has not been helped by his own gambles; some of his
moves have been bewildering. Oscar Echeverry, one of the club's few signings in
the offseason, has been a travesty in the league thus far -- ineffective and
living up to his billing as a mediocre forward in the Colombian league. The
team's top draft choice, Eric Brunner, never played a competitive minute with
the team due to a contract dispute and signed with Miami FC of the USL First
Division. It gets worse. After his row with the club, Brunner was called up to
the U-23 national team to participate in the Toulon Cup and the defender even
scored a goal in international play. Adding salt to the wound, Brunner was
essentially released to sign Toronto castoff Andrew Boyens, who has been as
mobile as a traffic cone in the back line.
Other moves are puzzling too. Dema Kovalenko, a versatile player whom Osorio
sent packing to Real Salt Lake in the winter, was a midfielder who could cover
several positions on an injury-plagued team. There is also Francis Doe, a
midseason signing last year who also was released by Osorio after a promising
2007 campaign. The attacking player has made four appearances for D.C. United,
performing adequately for the rival club.
In short, the Red Bulls could and should be much better than they are now.
Where does that leave this team? They are mired in no-man's land. When he left
the club, Arena had pieced together a mix of veterans and youth players that
was closing in on being a very good club. Even with an albatross of a contract
like Reyna's on the roster, there were enough good pieces and flexibility that
the Red Bulls could make a push into the playoffs. The team needed some
defensive help and some upgrades in the midfield. What it got is status quo at
best.
The good news is that Osorio still has more salary cap and allocation money to
play with.. With the signings of two midfielders -- Venezuelan international
Jorge Rojas and Argentinean Juan Pietravallo -- Osorio is gambling that this
unit will carry the team. Needing desperately to fill the forward slot next to
Angel, he would also be wise to look for other midfield options to either
replace or complement team captain Reyna, should he ever return to the field.
Perhaps, the "Fire Osorio" petitions are a tad premature. Given similar starts
by the club over the past handful of years, this team might be ready to
experience a torrid summer like the franchise's most successful season in 2000,
when Osorio was an assistant with New York.

Ian Crocker was still wet and breathing hard after making the U.S. Olympic
swimming team in the 100-meter butterfly, but he had time to put the trials in
Omaha in perspective.
"I feel like there's a lot of young wolves coming to eat the old wolves,"
Crocker said.
It's true that the just-concluded trials were a testament to the precocity of
American swimmers, who filled every championship heat for eight energetic days
with a flotilla of fast swimmers -- many of them up-and-comers. But if the
United States is going to succeed on a grand scale next month in Beijing, it
will do so on the Speedo-covered backs of its veteran stars.
