As of today, I'm back to work on a light duty capacity. The leg is healing very well and hopefully I'll be back on two feet soon. I wanted to thank you all again for the kind words and well wishes. Thanks again for helping me pass the past two weeks. Given I'm back to work, I don't forsee being...

We sure did. Rode up US441 through the Smokeys to Knoxville. We even road Deals Gap. 2nd time for me, 1st for the wife and she did great! It was such an accomplishment for her and she made me proud. We love that area of the country and find ourselves there at least once a year. We had plans on a...

I never knew how much I didn't know about riding until I took the police motorcycle course. Boy, did I learn a lot! The key is knowing how to find that sweet spot and using the back brake. Keep power to the back wheel and any bike can do amazing things! I never thought I'd be able to do what I...

Well, it was a profeciency excercise on the police motor, which is an '08 Road King. The course was designed as an on road/off road course with the off road consisting of hills, sugar sand and the like. The road course is the typical police motors course with slow speed maneuvers. I ran the...

There are alot of good and bad things about my job. If I had to pick one, I'd say the best part is identifying and arresting a suspect in a who-done-it murder and telling the victim's familiy of the arrest. The worst is what you mentioned above, making notificiation to a family of a loved ones...

Pray for what's on your heart. If this case is, then pray for the people in it. God listens.

Hmm... good question. I guess the short answer is in general, I try not to take the cases personally. I remember that my job is to collect and present the facts and it's someone else's job to determine whether the facts are enough and what the punishment should be. Have there been outcomes I...

Actually, the time at home has been good, all things considered. I got to the point I was working 13-16 hrs days with no days off. It was suggested I try and take some time off but I didn't quite mean to do it this way. Sometimes, you need to step away from something then come back and look at...

and the winner is... :) Thanks!

*slap* Oh, sorry, thought you asked for a Slap not a Snap. :) Wish I could help with the addiction but I'm a bit "enveloped" with the same so I can't offer any advice aside from patience my young padawan. ;) I'm not a football fan, sorry to say, but my wife is. She's a Seminole grad so her...

Just that alone, no. Children are classified as anyone under 18. Perhaps you're meaning under say 11? Then maybe if the agency has enough resources to work the case. A true missing persons investigation is akin to a murder investigation without a body. At least in a homicide, you have a last...

The pain is minimal, thanfully and the healing is going well. As to the wife, I forsee doing a lot of things to make it up to her for having to deal with this cripple. :) She's definately the strength behind me, that's for sure. You bring out a good point about other missing person...

I don't laugh. I wish I could provide some answers to good questions on here, but unfortunately I can't. One day I will be able to do just that and I'll be happy to. Until that day, have patience. :detective:

Thank you for the compliment and for taking the time to write this. I'm sure you have a reason to feel the way you do. Cops are no different than any other people. We have good and unfortunately the bad too. I just try to be honest. I tell others, my goal is that whenever my name is brought up...

When this is over, I will be happy to answer any questions about the case. Until then, I honestly can't. I know many are chomping at the bit and I appreciate your restraint.

It hasn't changed our opinion in wanting children. Matter of fact, we do. This case doen't change that. As to the pics..... its sureal to be honest. I just pretend it's not me. ;)

Personal questions are fine. Nope, no kids (dogs excluded).

It does. In the realm of law enforcement investigations, the pinacle is being a homicide detective. That's IMO. There's nothing else like it. Those who do that job just ain't right, myself included. :crazy: I don't watch many TV shows as a rule, but one I do like is The First 48 on A&E. If...

Ah! Perfect! Thanks!

No need to kick the bike, but thanks for the offer. :) The MC thing is a part-time gig. Something I do 2 days a month to keep things different from my normal day to day stuff. In the hopes I get to make it back to the homicide division, I hope to continue riding. It's then I'll need the break...
