devil in the details

Hollywood Florida's Police Chief Chadwick Wagner has set the bar for Boulder and others to follow for JonBenet and heinous crimes. Reviewing, investigating and now closing the 27 year long unsolved murder of 6 year old Adam Walsh case yesterday, Chief Wagner's dedication to the victim and his family is stunning in a world often plagued by mediocrity.

Clearing the Ramseys this year through breakthrough DNA testing was a winning step one from DA Lacy; time to finish the job--

Statement From Hollywood, Fla. Police Chief Chadwick E. Wagner
Adam Walsh Murder Case Closed
12/17/2008

"Prior to this year, I never actually had the opportunity to review the entire Adam Walsh investigation. I did observe the investigation handled by others in the Department and admittedly realized, even years ago, that this investigation had flaws. This fact was confirmed when I recently had the opportunity to digest the entire investigative file. Nevertheless, in the first few months into my appointment as Police Chief, I committed as a priority to resolve and conclude this investigation. I believe the Walshes are entitled to this level of commitment.

It is inherently my responsibility on behalf of this Police Agency to express remorse to the Walshes and indicate to them the emphasis we have placed on this continuing investigation regardless of the initial investigative difficulties."
