I’m late to posting something today because I had an unexpected seminar to attend at the University of Lawfare and it lasted ALL WEEKEND. Sure, I lacked the commissary resources to get earphones to FULLY engage in the Jesus opportunities that exist at this special University, but that just gave me more opportunities to network!
Natives use the term “cousin” pretty loosely, so when I say that I met a “cousin” of Jermain Charlo, well, let’s just say this University isn’t the kind of place you ask a lot of unnecessary follow up questions.
For those of you who don’t know the name “Jermain Charlo”, she’s the missing Native woman that Guy Baker still thinks about, since he never found her and, well, it was his job to do just that. Thankfully we have CBS’ 48 Hours to help keep interest in the case alive.
The Missoula Police Department’s investigation began the day Morigeau reported her niece missing. However, the first detective assigned only worked the case briefly before he had scheduled time off. It wasn’t until June 26, 10 days after Charlo disappeared, that Det. Guy Baker was assigned to the case. He would doggedly lead the investigation for the next six years, determined to find Charlo.
“I’m very much committed to finding her,” Baker told “48 Hours.” “I wanna bring justice to Jermain and hold accountable who’s responsible.”
There’s wanting, and there’s doing, and I’m pretty sure what Guy Baker is doing these days is much more important. Right, PI Guy?
If there’s any worry that Private Investigators might not be up to the task of investigating in the private sector the way they fail to do their job with PUBLIC dollars, former Sheriff of Mineral County, Mike Toth, is TAKING ACTION!
A Billings private investigator is launching a new professional association aimed at uniting and strengthening Montana’s licensed private investigator community.
Mike Toth, owner of Elite Investigations, founded the Montana Association of Licensed Investigators to create a statewide network and hold investigators to a higher standard than what state licensing alone requires. Toth says there are about 200 private investigators in Montana.
What, you say? The Sheriff who came before Ryan Funke as Sheriff of Mineral County is launching a “professional association”? Yes, that’s correct, and considering Mike Toth’s role in the “investigation” of the Rebekah Barsotti case, I’d say this move by Toth is something I’m going to have to think more about.
This post is short because class just got out and I’m going to do some homework now, studying in closer detail the many Travis exclusion zones that exist around this very amazing.
Also, I’m fairly positive this creation I spent hours making and which contained me, as a Lego figure, has been stolen. And the kicker? If I speculated what I think happened, I’d be forced back to University.
If this was taken by who I think it was taken by in the parking lot of the Great Burn brewery after my required classes, it’s a truly sad statement about what people are doing behind the scenes to hurt me.
Yeah, this one hurts.
But what’s a little theft when you’ve already stolen so much from so many people?
Thanks for reading!
