“There will be people who will lose their job(s) over this,” Tony said, calling the suspended deputies’ conduct “piss poor performance” and “bulls--t work.”

I wonder if the neighbor had left his door unlocked? Because he was found in bed and it was so early in the morning?

Sheriff Gregory Tony said deputies at the time had cause to arrest the eventual murder suspect, Nathan Gingles, but failed to do so. In addition, the executive officer presiding over the Tamarac district, Captain Jeremiah Cooper, was demoted to deputy on Wednesday.

Tony suspended seven deputies within days of the murders as a result of an internal affairs investigation “into any shortcomings that may have occurred” before and during the department’s response to the killings.

Sigh. From the article posted above:

“At one point, after the restraining order was in place, Nathan appeared at the home with deputies to gather computers and their daughter’s birth certificate and passport.

Documents show that when Mary “complained that was not the intent of the injunction, the police said (father is ex-military and has high security clearance and seemed to be friendly with the officers), that it was ‘marital property'” and he could take them.”

I don’t believe one single thing will change. The next abuser will be enabled just as much because he’s “friendly with the officers.” I can just imagine them laughing with him like the cops did with Laundrie.

This is another very awful case... so sad, so senseless and so evil.

 

[borndem]

This is so vicious, it hardly seems real. What awfulness. Makes my blood run cold.
What in the world possessed this ~man~ ?
So glad he has been caught and is now behind bars.
Who in the world would want to defend this killer in a trial?

And then there is the little girl who saw some of the awfulness.
Hoping there are some good relatives who can help her deal with this horror. Certainly she will need good counseling. Hoping some of this horror will fade a bit as time goes along. SMH.
