For some reason this case hasn't received a lot of attention on this forum, while it was very active on Valhall's the Hinky Meter, at least until Dawna was found and nothing much seemed to be happening. Now, come to find out, Valhall has shut down Hinky Meter. So I guess we need to pick the ball up and stay on top of Dawna's case.
Those of us who have kept up with this case, all but know who is responsible for what happened to Dawna. Though I haven't kept up with it lately, because nothing was really happening, the last I read, her loser bf, Kevin Duck, had been arrested in Louisiana, transported back to Arkansas, then let out again to head back to Louisiana to work while on extended probation.
What is totally disgusting is how this case was handled in the beginning by the HSV PD, who were completely incompetent and negligent, imo. Then it was finally taken over by the Garland County Sheriff's office, who, btw, had already offered their assistance to the HSV PD, who turned it down? Why is anyone's guess. In fact, IIRC, the Arkansas State Police had also offered assistance. Also, turned down by the HSV PD. Again, anyone's guess. :maddening:
Of course, there's nothing the GCSD. or anyone else can do about all the evidence that was destroyed while the completely inept and incompetent HSV PD did nothing, allowing Dawna's body to lay in a pond exposed to the elements for over a week, maybe two or three, can't recall exactly, while decomposing and, sadly, being scavenged upon by wild animals. Unfortunately, maybe making it impossible for the coroner to be able to determine a cause of death. I have yet to hear a COD.
Oh, and btw, the pond in which Dawna's body was discovered, is the exact pond that the prime and only suspects father, Luther Duck, told the HSV PD to search. Yet they couldn't find her? Well, how can that be, one might ask. The, again, totally inept and incompetent HSV PD searched a pond alright, but it was the wrong pond. Ok, more than one pond in the area, right? So then, why didn't they then get Mr. Duck out there to guide them to specific pond he was referring to, and immediately return to that pond and search? That is the VERY Big question. Why indeed?
Instead, it took a large group of good, kind, very concerned HSV citizens to band together to conduct their own volunteer search for Dawna. It took all of 45 minutes for them to discover Dawna's body. 45. Minutes.
So is the HSV PD being held accountable for their negligence and incompetence, to the point of criminal, imo ? Not that I have heard, but they sure deserve to be. I don't know what kind of charges there can be or if it is even possible. Any attorneys here? I would love to here your feedback on that issue. TIA
