(Moeller) spent the evening late last night and into the early morning hours with our detectives and has been cooperating with us so far. |
(The officer) noticed slurred speech. He noticed that his eyes were glassy, appeared to be glazed over. So, he requested Mr. Wetzel do a field sobriety test. Mr. Wetzel did portions of a field sobriety test and he did also refuse to do portions of the test as well. |
At approximately 10 a.m. this morning, one of our deputies tried to serve a warrant on an individual who had a warrant for violation of probation out of Marion County. |
It would be a crime if you entered any vehicle, whether a patrol car or personal vehicle, without the owner's permission. |
It's a probable homicide. Based on information we received from the medical examiner and the way her body was found, we do believe it is a homicide. |
Our understanding was that there were some weapons inside the house so we were concerned for that individual. |
That was a big deal yesterday for the agency. It takes our resources away from legitimate cases that we're working. |
The burns were to portions of her body, not the entire body because we were able to make a partial description. |
The witness indicated to us that the male suspect had told her to come outside, let the deputies know everything was OK and then to go back inside. But the deputies did not feel that she was safe and so they took her. |
They'll go to the areas where they're most needed, where they get the most calls. |
Very challenging days, but the deputies and the personnel have held up exceptionally well and right now our job is to complete these investigations and put them to closure. |
We don't release the location of the checkpoints ahead of time for obvious reasons. People would just take another route to where they're going. |
We found 16 movies and a medical doctor confirmed that 14 of those were children in sex acts and they were under the age of 18. |
We want to conduct a thorough investigation to find out specifically what happened and then we are gonna take action at that point. |
We're in the process right now of having that suspect identified and getting information as to what led to the events that occurred on that day. |
