Where Have You Gone, Jim DiMaggio?

Here's to you Mrs. Robinson!

"Calif. teen speaks about her kidnapping" by Elliot Spagat |  Associated Press,  August 23, 2013

SAN DIEGO — A California teen whose mother and brother were killed by a family friend said on national television Thursday she once confided in the man about troubles with her mother and explained text messages exchanged on the day of the attack.

In an interview on the NBC ‘‘Today’’ show, Hannah Anderson didn’t say how her family died, describe her interactions with James Lee DiMaggio during a massive manhunt, or offer details to explain why DiMaggio might have unleashed such violence.

In her first news interview since her dramatic rescue Aug. 10, Hannah said she wrote to DiMaggio about a year ago as he guided her through a rough patch with her mother.

‘‘Me and him would talk about how to deal with it, and I’d tell him how I felt about it, and he’d help me through it. They weren’t anything bad,’’ she said.

Hannah said she exchanged text messages with DiMaggio on Aug. 3 before she disappeared about where he should pick her up from cheerleading practice. Her statements corrected a search warrant that said the pair exchanged about 13 phone calls.

"Review upholds firing of ex-LAPD officer" by Tami Abdollah |  Associated Press, June 05, 2013

LOS ANGELES — An internal review by the Los Angeles Police Department concluded that rogue ex-officer Christopher Dorner was justifiably fired, a lawyer who reviewed the findings said on Tuesday.

Civil rights attorney Connie Rice said the lengthy examination found no basis for allegations of racism and bias that Dorner made in a manifesto vowing revenge on his former colleagues and their families.

Actually, he was exonerated and his complaints were legitimate. The level of cover up that goes on amongst Amerikan authority is shocking and sickening.

The findings, which are expected to be made public this month at a Los Angeles Police Commission meeting, concluded that Dorner had a history of embellishing stories, misperceiving slights, and making bogus complaints against his fellow officers, Rice said.

He should have gotten into the newspaper business. 

Of course, Dorner can't speak for himself now.

He took more than twice as long as most officers to complete his training, was nearly incomprehensible during the hearing over his firing, and only filed a complaint against his training officer when he learned she gave him a bad performance review, according to Rice.

The LAPD will not comment on the findings until they have been publicly released and reviewed by commissioners, said police Lieutenant Andrew Neiman.

Chief Charlie Beck ordered the review as Dorner was on the run after being accused of killing the daughter of his former union lawyer and her fiance and releasing the manifesto saying he would get even for being unfairly fired because he was black.
