What Does Missoula’s Police Chief, Mike Colyer, Know About The Death Of Sean Stevenson? – by Travis Mateer

On January 1st, 2020, a police report listed Sean Stevenson as an “informational informant”. Two days later Sean was assaulted inside the Poverello Center, which put him into a coma that he would never recover from, thanks to the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office. Today, for the first time, I’m including the full report that I think led directly to Sean Stevenson’s death:

The reporting officer listed in this police report is Mike Colyer, Missoula’s current police chief. Knowing what I now know about law enforcement fusion center activity with drug traffickers, I’d REALLY like to have a candid conversation with Mike about Sean Stevenson, what happened to him on January 3rd inside the Poverello Center, and why a coroner involved with exhuming a dead CIA agent was involved in controlling the narrative around Sean’s death.

When you review Mike Colyer’s resume for the position he got selected for by Missoula’s interim Mayor, Jordan Hess, it’s not just the Quantico training that stands out, it’s being a Drug Recognition Expert, a Drug Recognition Expert Instructor, and a Drug Evaluation and Classification Program Coordinator that leads me to believe Mike Colyer would be aware, through a cursory examination of Facebook, that the people Sean Stevenson was around on January 1st, 2020, were connected to the slice of the drug trade coming out of Browning and controlled by Blackfeet with well-known surnames.

When I reviewed Billy Bullplume’s friends on Facebook I saw surnames like Heavyrunner, Ingraham, and Marceau, with that last one popping up in a pretty serious drug case with ties to Mexico:

A Great Falls woman who admitted to dealing methamphetamine and heroin for a drug trafficking organization in Mexico was sentenced today to five years in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich said.

Katie Marie Marceau, 38, pleaded guilty in March to possession with intent to distribute controlled substances.

Chief U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris presided.

The government alleged in court documents that Marceau was a significant drug dealer in Great Falls and had direct connections to a drug trafficking ring in Mexico. Leaders of the organization sent workers to Great Falls to distribute meth and heroin and to recruit local workers, like Marceau, to distribute drugs. The workers typically distributed the drug in Great Falls for a few months, and then the leaders rotated to the next worker to avoid law enforcement detection. In late 2020, Marceau became the new designated worker for the drug organization and sold meth and heroin to undercover officers. Marceau also was on state supervision at the time when she engaged in this drug activity.

When I found this case online the time-frame and connection to Mexico all lined up with what a known informant told me a few weeks ago. I also took note of the U.S. Attorney who prosecuted this case, since Jesse Laslovich is related to Dylan Laslovich, the former chief of staff for Jon Tester.

Hmmm.

The named victim in the police report, Seth Reeb, popped up in a local article after getting his 8th DUI. What I found significant is that Reeb is reported to have cases out of California, where Johnny Lee Perry was from.

“During the investigation, officers observed indicators of impairment from Reeb,” Arnold said. “Between the observed driving behavior and the indicators of impairment during the contact with Reeb, Reeb was placed under arrest for a felony DUI, which is a fourth or subsequent offense. Drug use is suspected in this incident. Thankfully, the vehicle was stopped without incident and no person was injured.”

Court documents indicate Reeb has three prior DUI convictions, two pending felony DUI’s in the Fourth Judicial District, and two DUI arrests with unclear dispositions out of California.

The Chief Deputy Coroner who exhumed a CIA agent before getting tasked with controlling the narrative around the sequence of events that led to Sean Stevenson being removed from life support BEFORE his family knew what happened to him is Jace Dicken, now retired.

Below is a picture of Jace Dicken from Facebook, along with an image from the 1982 burying of Hog Daniels in a Missoula burial plot and some excerpts from the article:

Thirty-five years later, one mystery is solved. There’s a body buried in Jerry Daniels’ grave in the Missoula Cemetery.

The next question: Is it his?

Even the skeptics are convinced it is, though Dr. Robert Kurtzman, Montana’s chief medical examiner, continues to analyze evidence in Billings after the body was exhumed for several hours on Oct. 25.

“They requested the press not be there or it could have turned into a circus,” said Kent “Dan” Daniels of Florence, one of Jerry’s three surviving brothers.

As it was, the process at the cemetery, Garden City Funeral Home shop and the state crime lab on Palmer Street in Missoula was a private and by all accounts professional affair. It was conducted under the auspices of Kurtzman and Lt. Jace Dicken, chief deputy coroner for the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office.

For those unaware of how the CIA recruited Smokejumpers for Vietnam, Jerry “Hog” Daniels was the rockstar who earned unparalleled respect among the Hmong and, during the war effort, he was an indispensable asset for the CIA. It was Hog’s story, as told by his biographer, Gayle Morrison, that inspired me to troll the CIA last June during the 80th anniversary Smokejumper celebration on campus.

Besides exhuming the body of a CIA agent in 2018 (the same year Jermaine Charlo went missing), what other red flags in Jace Dicken’s background did I find? Did I find that Jace Dicken was involved in a fatal shooting with fellow Sheriff Deputy, Tony Rio?

Yes, but it gets worse.

After shooting dead 42 year old, Eugene Statelen, who was allegedly trying to run down Dicken and Rio in his car, it was discovered that the Sheriff Deputies had their WIVES riding along with them that night, as well as the minor child of Undersheriff, Jason Johnson.

Two officers involved in a shooting on New Year’s Eve had their spouses in their patrol cars. The women are now being treated like witnesses in the investigation.

We found out the wives of Captain Tony Rio and Sgt. Jace Dickens we’re on ride-along’s with their husbands when shots were fired. Undersheriff Jason Johnson’s 13-year-old son was also riding with another deputy who arrived at the scene shortly after the shooting.

Under Missoula County policy, citizens can ride along with a deputy once a year and family members can do so with permission of the shift commander. Patrol Captain Bill Burt tells us it’s not rare for loved ones to do ride-alongs.

“I think the primary reason is that there is an exception for spouses, is so spouses can have more opportunity to come out and see what these stresses are. Law enforcement has stresses that are unique.”

None of the people named in this article needed to convince me they lacked professional discretion, but this incredibly problematic scenario certainly helps me make my case to people outside this bubble that something is SERIOUSLY wrong in western Montana when it comes to law enforcement, drug trafficking, and the wreckage of drug abuse all over the country.

For more context on who and how narrative control is exerted by local authorities I’m offering–again, for the first time–documentation that shows Jace Dicken in the early stages of controlling the narrative in order to manipulate the expectations of the Stevenson family, who didn’t know enough at the time to wrap their heads around law enforcement’s complicity in killing, then covering up, Sean Stevenson’s death.

Then, after that, I have a video clip of an informant I recorded (for my own safety) who says, straight up, what he thinks Sean Stevenson knew that got him killed.

But first, the Dicken performance:

While the Dicken performance goes on a bit longer, I’m stopping it here because I’ve seen the autopsy pictures of Sean Stevenson’s dead body and can therefore comfortably say fuck Jace Dicken and his little performance.

Moving on to the video clip I recorded on August 31st at 6:40pm along the river trail in Missoula, the individual in-frame is the guy I wrote about here who claimed, I believe credibly, to be a dealer for the cops working the regional HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area).

In the video clip below, “Coby” is a younger black guy I spoke with recently who knew “Johnny Blaze”, or Johnny Lee Perry, the guy NOT credibly blamed for being allegedly responsible for putting Sean Stevenson into a coma on January 3rd, 2020, before getting shot and killed himself on August 29th, 2021.

Listen carefully to what the man in the video clip says because this is the moment I’m finally getting some substantive answers to a question I’ve been asking for years.

What this guy says lines up nicely with the case prosecuted by Jesse Laslovich against Katie Marceau, and it confirms what I’ve heard from other street sources that something BIG was brewing around the time Sean Stevenson got assaulted by, I believe, MULTIPLE people inside the men’s dorm of the homeless shelter I once worked at.

The clip I’m using today is from a longer recording where a man, off-camera to the right, can be heard claiming to be Jermain Charlo’s cousin. A few days later I ran across this same guy and we had a longer conversation about the person he said was involved in the drug money negotiations that led to Jermain Charlo disappearing AND Sean Stevenson being killed.

“the last Governor,” he said.

No, I immediately thought to myself, that’s too much. Nope.

But that didn’t stop me from thinking about it, then thinking some more, then putting this out cryptically on X:

I know, this post started with implying Missoula’s Police Chief, Mike Colyer, put Sean Stevenson’s name on paper, which led to his targeting and eventual death, and now I’m claiming an even more important public official–a fucking Governor–could be implicated in large-scale money laundering as he jockeyed his massive ego for a run at President.

What am I smoking, you might be wondering?

Currently, a Sativa strain called Blue Dream, but that’s beside the point. The point is Steve Bullock DID ignore some pretty crazy shit as Attorney General for Montana, as evidenced by these curated excerpts from a Missoula Independent article you can read here:

When I first read this article I was 32 years old and working at the Poverello Center. Ten years later, when Sean Stevenson was assaulted inside the Pov’s new facility on West Broadway, it had become a different world, one where it’s taking me 6 years to finally understand why it appears Sean Stevenson had to die, and who continues to benefit by keeping the reason for his death covered up.

Unlike Mike Colyer and Bob Franke, who got nice promotions and enjoy even more power over people’s lives in this town, I spent an entire summer homeless, living in my box truck, and the last three years defending myself from active lawfare, which has left me broke and very socially isolated.

All because I couldn’t accept the bullshit narrative of what happened to Sean Stevenson on January 3rd, 2020, inside the Poverello Center.

Don’t worry, Mike, as the old saying goes, you can’t BREAK the law if you ARE the law.

Thanks for reading.
