Record of a Phone Conversation
Date: June 20, 2006
Time: 8 AM central/9 AM Eastern
Called: City of _____ Police Records Department
Talked to: Gwen
Number: xxx xxx-1062
I called the number of the police department Msscribe told ari_o handled her case and made the arrest. I talked to a woman named Gwen in the Records Department, and told her Dionne's real name, Louis Movello's name, the date (March 2003), and the alleged circumstances. She could find no record of such a case. I tried calling the number for the alleged police officer again, and again got a recording. I did not leave a second message at that number.
I understand that my word might be considered suspect by many, and I suggest that someone from the "other side," such as ari_o, heidi8, or praetorianguard might want to repeat the experiment, to make sure that everyone is satisfied with the facts. I have emailed ari_o with more complete details.
ETA: 9:10 AM Central/10:10 AM Eastern - I finally got through on the number for the Special Investigations unit, and described the claimed crime and the name of the alleged officer. The person I talked to, a Sgt. W______, said "that would be difficult, because he didn't work here in 2003." Sgt. W______ confirmed to me that they have nothing resembling such an incident in their records.
ETA2: To clarify, because there are some questions. Here is what ari_o emailed to me, with the identifying info blanked out:
Hi,
Here is what she told me:
"It was (name of officer) of the special investigations unit who handled it."

I hope to hell he can tell you something. I really don't want to believe that she lied to me about that too.
I believe, but don't know for sure, that this is what Msscribe told Ari way back when. My impression from talking to the people at the station is that (name of officer) hasn't been there for quite a while, and the website information was stale even three years ago when, I assume, Msscribe got his name and telephone number from the website.
In another email, ari_o told me that she deleted her LJ because she can't handle the volume of comments right now (she's swamped in real life) and she already got trolled by one person. She named the person, but I didn't recognize the name. She said she gave the detective's name to Oulangi, and she hopes Heidi or someone can call. I can forward the information on to Heidi, if she doesn't have it yet.
