1. What did the DA file and why?
The documents the DA filed with the court on June 2, 2020 are requesting the court to conduct an in-camera review of documents from the
Dept of Health Services (DHS) that were provided to the DA under seal.
The DA is seeking direction from the court whether or not the documents should be shared with LS and her Defense, and if so, under what appropriate protection order. The People are presenting the documents to the court because the people believe they may contain information relevant to this case.
2. What is the Dept of Health Services (DHS)?
I think most associate DHS with the Child Welfare Department which is a division of the
Office of Children Youth and Families that does in-fact fall under DHS.
However, DHS houses many other divisions under its state umbrella including:
- Office of Adult Aging, and Disability Services;
- Office of Behavior Health;
- Office of Early Childhood;
- Office of Economic Security; and
- Operations for the entire DHS including Communications, Human Resources, Facilities Management, Business Technology, Project Management, and Leadership.
3. Which State did these DHS documents come from?
I think the DA obtained the DHS documents from either Colorado or South Carolina.
If the documents are from Colorado DHS, they are most likely related to records from the Office of Children, Youth, and Families - Division of Child Welfare.
4. [P-05] is Peoples Motion for Camera Review of Department of Human Resources Documents.
However, if the documents came from South Carolina, I think they may be totally unrelated to the Division of Child Welfare because the Department of
Human Resources (from Motion title P-05) actually falls under the Department of Operations.
Take note the title of the motion states Department of Human Resources and not DHS so it could be HR for DHS.
I recall that LS's two longest jobs seemed to be in SC before she married AS in 2015. According to MSM, LS was employed as an education specialist and teacher and
at-risk youth coordinator in South Carolina. She also worked for the South Carolina State Department of
Social Services as a human services specialist from 2008 to 2010 in Myrtle Beach, according to her Linkedin profile.
If the motion title above is correct, I think it's possible the documents discovered with information that could be related to this case might be from South Carolina's Dept of Social Services, and the DA is waiting to hear whether on not they must share the documents with the defense.
