Back-to-School Safety Tips By Mayor John Peyton As children begin another school year, we as concerned community members and parents should take this opportunity to remind ourselves and our kids of some important safety tips that will help keep them safe. During the school year children traveling to and from school are out on the roads, without adult supervision. City of Jacksonville Victim Services Center staff suggest taking several precautions to help ensure kids’ safety from would-be criminals and careless drivers. Parents should teach children who walk to school that they need to stay alert in their surroundings and know their neighborhoods. Make sure your kids are aware of any locations that are Safe Places, as designated by the Youth Crisis Center, and the police and fire stations throughout their neighborhood. Help your children learn the safest route to and from school and encourage them to only travel the route you have agreed upon. Using this route consistently will help your kids identify anything that is a break from the norm. And, if needed, you would know more precisely where to look for them, should an emergency occur. Review some scenarios with them to teach them what to do if approached at certain points along their route, and remind them of the closest neighbors or businesses that they could run to if they needed to seek help. There’s safety in numbers. Whenever possible, children should walk with others to and from school. Urge them to wait with others whenever they’re waiting at a bus stop. As responsible drivers, we want to remember to be very cautious in school zones and any residential areas where children may be walking or riding their bicycles. Children should be taught to walk on the sidewalk whenever possible, facing traffic, so they can see and avoid approaching cars. Above all, teach your children never to accept a ride from a stranger. Older children may be “latchkey kids,” children whose parents aren’t home yet when they get home from school. Teach these kids to always have their keys ready when approaching their houses. The time it takes to search for a key could provide enough opportunity for someone to forcibly enter the home. Also, make sure your kids know never to allow a stranger inside when they are home alone. These measures and others can help keep your children safe this school year. For additional information, contact the city’s Victim Services Center at (904) 630-6300.

Stacy Replogle’s murderer found guilty - again! Re-trial of illegal alien ends with the same verdict By Sherrie V. Clark It was an ordinary evening like any other. Then at 8:55 p.m. on February 2, 2005, the intersection of Southside Boulevard and Deerwood Parkway became the location of what appeared to be just another ordinary vehicle accident when a Toyota pick-up slammed into the rear end of the car ahead. What happened next was any-
thing but ordinary. When the driver who had been hit could finally exit her car, she saw that the truck behind her had been abandoned and left to impede traffic in the busy street. Police called to the scene subsequently towed the truck from the accident location, not knowing at the time that its driver had chased his passenger from the vehicle and viciously murdered her.
By Shirley Shaw Most of our eyes were glued to a TV screen that September Tuesday morning in 2001, watching in horror as terrorists killed thousands of people in New York City’s Twin Towers, the Pentagon in Washington DC, and a plane that crashed in a Pennsylvania field. Countless stories have arisen from the horrific events of the day that changed our country forever: last-minute calls from doomed office workers and passengers, radio communications between would-be rescuers and their fellow workers outside, numerous accounts of those who just missed certain death by being late to work. Stories of heroism and self-sacrifice abound, making us proud of the first responders and military personnel who give their lives to protect us - every day. And there are stories like the following one making the rounds that illustrate the very best America has to offer: In a memorial ceremony at NORTHCOM, LTC (CH) Robert Leivers relayed this little-known story from the Pentagon on 9/11: “During a visit with a fellow chaplain, who happened to be assigned to the Pentagon, I had a chance to hear a first-hand account of an incident that happened

right after Flt 77 hit the Pentagon. The Chaplain told me what happened at a daycare center near where the impact occurred. “This daycare had many children, including infants who were in heavy cribs. The daycare supervisor, looking at all the children they needed to evacuate, was in a panic over what they could do; there were many children, mostly toddlers, as well as the infants that would need to be taken out with the cribs. There was no time to try to bundle them into carriers and strollers. “Just then a young Marine came running into the center and asked what they needed. After hearing what the center director was trying to do, he ran back out into the hallway and disappeared. The director thought, ‘Well, there we are - on our own.’ About two minutes later, that Marine returned with 40 others in tow. Each of them grabbed a crib with a child, and the rest started gathering up toddlers. The director and her staff then helped them take all the children out of the center and down toward the park near the Potomac and the Pentagon. “Once they got about 3/4 of a mile outside the building, the Marines stopped in the park, and then did a fabulous thing - they formed a circle with the cribs,

CyberSafety education for our children
by Ann Dugger
FBI-SOS (Safe Online Surfing) Internet Challenge
A cliché we all use about this time of year certainly applies once again: I can’t believe school has started already; where does the time go? And once again I feel compelled to caution parents about the many dangers threatening the safety of their children. Decades ago the concerns of my parents about their kids’ safety seem negligible compared to the dangers today’s children face. Although the Internet is wonderful - we can’t imagine living without its benefits - it provides a limitless conduit for perverted individuals to wreak their evil havoc. Just this week communications from the Attorney General’s office detail the arrests of two First Coast men for sex crimes. Marion Texton, 66, had numerous sexually explicit conversations with an undercover CyberCrime investigator he believed to be a young child. “Over the course of at least five months, Texton communicated with the ‘child’ and transmitted video of himself performing graphic sexual
acts.” He was arrested in his Jacksonville home by the CyberCrime unit, JSO, FBI and ICE officers. Paul Joseph Quillen, 41, of Yulee was arrested in Orange County where he traveled to have sex with two young girls after making arrangements with their “father” - actually an undercover investigator with the AG’s CyberCrime unit. A firefighter with the Kingsland Fire Department, Quillen faces up to 20 years in prison. We applaud the capture of these two perverts, but you wonder how many more of their ilk have been successful in their quest to lure young kids into their dangerous traps. We must continue to educate our children about this danger, which is why I urge all elementary and middle schools to adopt the FBI’s SOS program. The FBI-SOS (Safe Online Surfing) Internet Challenge is a free educational online program that teaches elementary and middle school students how to recognize and react to online dangers.
Developed collaboratively by the FBI, the academic community and corporate America, the Internet safety program helps keep students safe online by arming them with important information to help protect themselves from Internet predators. SOS objectives are to teach students to define important terms, recognize and identify “red flags” that indicate they may be chatting with an online predator, describe ways to protect their privacy, identify ways to decrease risks associated with social networking, and how to report illegal online behavior through CyberTipline. Each month schools
Faith Corner
The Faith Community holds the key to true Restorative Justice for all mankind. Many churches and businesses support this concept. The Justice Coalition wishes to thank the following for their support in our quest for this goal of compassion and understanding:
across the country participate in the FBI-SOS Challenge and compete for the FBI-SOS Trophy. After a teacher or administrator registers the school at www.fbisos.org (click on “Principals and Teachers”), students begin by taking an online selfscoring Pre-Quiz to measure their knowledge of Internet safety. After completing a Scavenger Hunt on the SOS software, where they learn important Internet safety information, they take the Post-Quiz of questions based on what they found during the Scavenger Hunt. The school with the highest combined student scores on the Post-Quiz wins the FBI-SOS Trophy and a visit from an FBI Special Agent. The Attorney General’s Office also offers CyberSafety presentations for schools - a 50-minute interactive pro-
gram that teaches students about safe use of the Internet, including tactics predators often use to identify and lure victims, and signs that another student may be in Cyberdanger. The program also includes stories from real students about their experiences online and recommendations on how to stay safe. Victim advocates, school resource officers, and volunteers from the Attorney General’s Office have been presenting the information to schools since September 2007. (More information about the Attorney General’s CyberSafety initiative is available online at http://www.safeflorida.net.) This is one more way to help protect our kids from danger. And, as I always remind you, love them, spend time with them, pray for them and trust God to keep them safe.
Inspirational Thought
The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger, and of great mercy. The LORD is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works...The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works. The LORD is nigh unto all them who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; he also will hear their cry and will save them. The LORD preserves all them who love Him, but all the wicked will He destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; let all flesh bless His holy Name forever and ever. – Psalm 145:8-10, 17-21

To Protect and Serve Our monthly recognition for the best of the best Police Officer of the Month (July)
Police Supervisor of the Month
DENNIS M. SULLIVAN
WILLIAM T. WILKERSON
In September 2008 Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Richard Collier was shot several times in the back while sitting in the front passenger seat of his vehicle. His life-threatening injuries left him paralyzed from the waist down, and one of his legs had to be amputated. Dennis Sullivan, lead detective on the case, had to rely on his experience, instincts and determination to find the shooter since there was very little evidence at the scene of the crime. He quickly realized this was not a random act of violence and that the suspect had intentionally targeted Mr. Collier. Working tirelessly, interviewing every person who may have had any information related to the shooting, Sullivan pieced together a timeline of events, ran down every single lead and identified Tyrone Hartsfield as a person of interest. He obtained a recorded conversation between Hartsfield and another person with him the night of the shooting. With this evidence Sullivan obtained an arrest warrant for Hartsfield, who was arrested by the US Marshals for first-degree attempted murder. Following the arrest, Sullivan worked countless hours, including weekends and evenings, to ensure the case was ready for trial. In October 2009 a jury found Tyrone Hartsfield guilty as charged. According to Homicide Sgt. Shawn Coarsey, Collier was very complimentary of Sullivan, stating that after the arrest he had closure and was moving on with his life.
Six Pillars of Character
creasing reporting time. In 2009 Wilkerson was asked to address the process of transporting fugitives within the state and extraditing prisoners from other states. Normally handled by police detectives, after the evaluation these duties were reassigned to Corrections Officers. This move provided additional efficiencies within the JSO, savings to the agency and an opportunity to use skills and develop additional capabilities in Corrections personnel. Also in 2009 when Wilkerson was asked to address the agency’s court overtime budget, which was a large undertaking, he devised a process to address it in smaller projects involving agency Chiefs and Directors. The improvements were approved and Wilkerson made himself available to address any issues and/or concerns that arose. This year an event Wilkerson facilitated with personnel from Corrections resulted in a new incident reporting system that will enable JSO to capture valuable data from events in the jail and share with Crime Analysis and others. Wilkerson has also been active in the Jacksonville Six Sigma Symposium meeting groups and Lean Consortium, and has been instrumental in strengthening relationships with the State Attorney’s Office and Public Defender’s Office.
CHARLES D. SISAK
Volunteer of the Month
The Six Pillars of Character Award is for any JSO employee who demonstrates one of the Six Pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.
A.O. “LEE” LEFORT
Officer Charles Sisak is recognized for displaying the characteristic of Caring. For the past 13 years, Sisak has donated hundreds of hours to an elderly couple in need of assistance. The husband retired from the JSO in the 1960s, and both he and his wife have numerous health issues. Sisak has helped financially with monthly JEA bills, as well as performed home maintenance projects to ensure their home does not fall into disrepair. In December, he takes groceries and other supplies to ensure they have a nice holiday season.
Corrections Officer of the Month
JERROLD D. VARGA While making security rounds last November, Officer Jerrold Varga smelled the odor of what he assumed to be burning marijuana coming from a cell. He radioed the Pod officer to unlock the cell door so he could search it for contraband. As Varga escorted the inmate down to the hallway, he noticed the inmate’s left cheek was puffed out, then the puffiness changed from his right cheek to his left. When Varga saw a blue substance in the inmate’s mouth and ordered him to spit it out, the inmate gagged and coughed, then spit something into his hand to hide it from view - a blue balloon that was tied closed, containing drugs later tested positive as cocaine. The inmate was escorted to the jail medical clinic, evaluated by the staff and returned to the housing area. While the inmate was in the medical area, Officer Varga searched the inmate’s cell for other drugs or contraband. As dangerous as the streets can be for police officers, Corrections officers deal with potentially dangerous situations every day. ANY contraband or prohibited items present a threat to the safety and security of inmates and Corrections personnel.
Corrections Supervisor of the Month
GARY L. RIGGS Sgt. Gary Riggs, employed with the Department of Corrections for more than 20 years and assigned to the Montgomery Correctional Center (MCC) as the Male Housing Security Supervisor on Watch III, always seeks ways to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Last year he researched and authored a project to move inmate Basic Education and GED classes to the North Compound Inmate Dining Hall. This resulted in the installation of a commercial grade movable partition in that Hall, which enables two classes to meet at the same time for GED and ABE instruction, instead of transporting inmates by vehicle to another location. Riggs assisted in overseeing the installation and created a PowerPoint presentation explaining its proper operation so others could be trained in its use. This simple improvement has resulted in increased security for staff and civilian instructors and more efficient utilization of staffing. It also has allowed JSO to make improvements to the former classroom’s building for enhanced staff training. Not only does he improve the DOC, Riggs is also active in the community. He donates his time to Breast Cancer Awareness and is a member of the Patriot Riders and Warrior Watch Riders motorcycle clubs, which are grass roots organizations of patriotic-minded citizens who honor departing and returning service men and women. These groups also provide honors for deceased Soldiers, Veterans, Law Enforcement and Fire Fighters/First Responders.
SEPTEMBER 2010
Since Sgt. Billy Wilkerson was transferred in October 2008 to the Continuous Improvement/Inspections Unit, he has had a major impact on the integration of CI philosophies and tools into JSO’s operations and culture. He quickly facilitated a change in his own unit (Inspections) which improved the inspections process by eliminating non-value steps, increasing transparency and de-
Sergeant Major Lee LeFort retired from the United States Army with 30 years of service. Since 1991 he has been a dedicated volunteer averaging 10 hours a month at the JSO. He has provided essential support to Robbery, Auto Theft, the Fugitive Section and, most recently, the Civil Process Unit. In addition, Lee has been very supportive of his fellow volunteers, recommending two of them for Volunteer of the Month. On several occasions he has provided transportation for other volunteers, including Gerald Young, who needed assistance due to illness. Lee was previously awarded the honor of Volunteer of the Year in 2004. He is highly regarded, and his contributions greatly appreciated, by the JSO.
Civilian Employee of the Month
DEIDRE HUNTLEY Deidre Huntley, recognized for her dedication and hard work in the JSO Recruiting Unit, has worked diligently for several months to help achieve hiring goals. She single-handedly, in a relatively short amount of time, processed the employment files of 124 applicants for Police Officer, Correction Officer and Community Service Officer positions that needed to be filled. This resulted in five Academy classes filled with highly qualified individuals needed in all departments of the Agency. Additionally, Deidre has assisted in coordinating and running 10 pre-screen events and has helped 592 potential applicants further their goal of becoming a JSO employee. She takes pride in building a rapport with applicants to make their transition into the rigorous JSO training program a bit easier, and she maintains a professional attitude when dealing with complex tasks involved in the hiring process.
Police Officer of the Month (June)
SHAWN S. PURI Every year the Special Events Unit is tasked with compiling operational plans for the annual Florida/Georgia football game, a huge event expected to draw more than 80,000 fans and spectators to the city that weekend in 2009. Officer Shawn Puri’s job for this event was to handle staffing for the stadium, traffic control and The Jacksonville Landing, ensuring all positions were filled. About 400 officers were assigned to various posts throughout the area, including hotels and entertainment establishments. The success of last year’s game was crucial to the reputation of the JSO and the City of Jacksonville, since the contracts by the two universities renewing the annual event here had not yet been signed. Puri understood the significance of a successful operations plan, and he worked tirelessly, many late shifts and off days, to meet deadlines. On game day he monitored various traffic patterns from the Arena Command Center, keeping all supervisors apprised of conditions to avoid delays. After the event the respective university presidents, the media, the fans and the Mayor all complimented the JSO on the success of the traffic plan and police presence. Puri was a key reason for that success. In addition to the Florida/Georgia game, Puri had to compile operational plans for the Air and Sea Show held at Jacksonville Beach the week following the game. He coordinated with the various Beaches Police Departments, as well as Fire and Rescue and the Military to make sure all positions were properly staffed. And he was also responsible for the staffing plan at Jaguars’ home football games.

The Justice Coalition began in 1995 because one man’s priorities were changed. Ted Hires was the average businessman working 60 to 80 hours a week and looking out for himself until that day when he and his staff were held at gunpoint and robbed. Being a victim of crime, Ted found the criminal justice system worked harder for the criminal than the victim. As a result of Ted’s experience, he formed a (501C3) non-profit organization, the Justice Coalition, and is making an effort to change the Fourth Judicial court system for the better. Since 1995, the Justice Coalition has been fighting crime every step of the way. Fugitives captured are through a partnership with local media and law enforcement agencies.

The 18year-old boyfriend is sitting in his home, at night, and he has just had an argument with his 16year-old girlfriend. He decides to get even by sending a nude photo of his girlfriend to their circle of friends, including her friends and family members. On a previous occasion, she had sent him the photo, believing that it was for his eyes only. The authorities are alerted. He is arrested and charged with sending child pornography, a felony in the state of Florida. Since he has no real defense to the charges, he pleads guilty. Though the sentencing court is lenient and gives him probation, he must register as a sex offender. Because Florida provides Internet access to our sexual offender registry, his identity and the nature of the crime he committed are now a matter of a very public record. The above-described scenario is completely consistent with the Florida laws which are now on the books regarding the distribution of child pornography. Individuals who send photographs or videos of sexual acts or of the exhibition of certain parts of the body of a person under 18 years of age are subject to the felony charge of “distributing child pornography.” The Florida computer pornography statute (§847.0135 of the Florida Statutes) also makes it a felony to seduce, solicit, or entice a child or another person believed to be a child to commit any illegal act, including sexual misconduct. The same law has a section that is designed to punish individuals who travel any dis-

who reports to a law enforcement officer what the person reasonably believes to be child pornography, the transmission of child pornography, or other data that is harmful to minors, may not be held civilly liable for such reporting. The statute also declares that such protected reporting may include furnishing a law enforcement officer with any image, information, or data that the person reasonably believes to be evidence of child pornography or the transmission of data that is harmful to minors. This type of immunity statute increases the likelihood that examples of “sexting” may indeed find their way into the hands of the authorities. Parents should caution their teenage children that there is no privacy protection whatsoever after a photograph simulating a sexual act or including an exhibition of certain private areas of the body has been transmitted. The secret word is sexting. The increasing power of the Internet has all but eliminated some traditional privacy protections which all Florida families enjoyed. Do not underestimate the impact on a young mind when it is discovered that these sensitive photos have been sent out into cyberspace. Recently, a Midwestern teenage girl committed suicide after a nude photo, meant only for her boyfriend, was sent to teenagers at local high schools. After being subjected to months of harassment and ridicule, she took her own life. “Sexting” has serious consequences for perpetrator and victim alike. ——————————— Jay Howell, a Jacksonville attorney, has been a State Prosecutor, a US Senate Investigator, and the founder of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

tance, either within this state or from another state, for the purpose of engaging in any illegal act concerning the sexual exploitation of children. While most of our citizens are not surprised that the possession or distribution of child pornography is illegal, many are shocked to discover that these criminal laws also cover the now common practice of “sexting.” In fact, the 16-year-old girlfriend in the above-described scenario could also be subject to the same criminal laws. Recently, teenage girls have been subject to criminal prosecution and other community service programs in the criminal justice system when it was discovered that they distributed naked pictures of themselves. There is an important distinction in the manner in which Florida prosecutes these crimes. Note in the above example that the perpetrator had recently turned 18. Had he been 17 when he committed the crime, he would have been subject to the same criminal laws, but may not have been subject to the rules requiring him to register as a sex offender. In Florida, only if those under 18 are charged as adults in the criminal system are they required to register as a sex offender. If the boyfriend described above was 17 when he committed the crime, most state attorneys in Florida would probably not have prosecuted him as an adult. In most Florida communities, it is the most serious crimes, such as rape, murder, carjacking, home invasion, and other similar crimes that result in a minor being charged as an adult. It is also important to know that our Florida laws provide immunity from civil liability for reporting child pornography. One of our Florida Statutes (§847.0139) provides that any person

Jacksonville on Track for Crime Reductions AGAIN in 2010! From the Sheriff’s Desk Sheriff John Rutherford You may not have heard this, but in 2009 we successfully reduced crime in Jacksonville by 10.5 percent. If this is the first time you are learning about this fact, wait just one minute, because the latest news is even better... ...We are on track for ANOTHER drop in Part I UCR crimes AGAIN this year! That’s right. At the end of the first half of 2010 (June 30) crime was down 11.7 percent ON TOP OF THE REDUCTION FROM LAST YEAR! I have been your Sheriff for seven years, and a sworn police officer here in Jacksonville for 35 years, and I cannot recall us ever experiencing DOUBLE DIGIT DECLINES TWO YEARS IN A ROW. It may not end up being a “historic” decline, but for me and the men and women of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, it is a tremendous success story. But, we’re not slowing down or resting on our good news. We are closely analyzing, discussing and using these results as a way to CONTINUE the improvements in our processes and tactics that created these drops in crime. I want you to notice the bold letters used in the word “we.” Because as I speak to the local media, and the civic and religious groups that invite me to talk to them, one of the three main points I emphasize about crime reduction in Jacksonville is the amount of citizen engagement that we continue to experience since launching Operation Safe Streets in 2006. Community Policing has evolved tremendously in recent years. Today citizens are calling and e-mailing (anonymously or identifying themselves) and saying “enough I am ready to help you catch the bad guy - he’s the one
who did it!” Why? Because our men and women are out there every day, talking to citizens, engaging them in this crusade, going after the bad guys and working to solve our problems in the community. Today, it’s Community Problem Solving. Working with you to help solve the problems that compromise your quality of life engenders our people and our cause to the hardworking men and women of Jacksonville who do not want crime in their neighborhood! I believe that as more citizens come to work with us, more of them will trust that we do want to prevent crime and intervene in their neighborhood challenges, such as poor lighting and broken fences. This is how the trust and respect grows, and so do the tips. And, ultimately, crime goes down. It greatly helps matters that our State Attorney is working hard to make sure cases that should go to trial do, and that people who pose a threat to others are kept in jail until their trials. How can you help? How can you be a part of this great decline in crime? How can you help us SUSTAIN what might be two back-to-back years of record declines in criminal incidents in Jacksonville? • Report suspicious activity. A 13-year-old out after curfew with no supervision is something we want to know about. A car no one recognizes parked in front of a neighbor ’s house for a few days. Call 630-0500 to report non-emergencies. • With school starting it’s very important that parents make it a point to know their child’s friends; where they live; know their parents; know how to contact neighbors and child’s friends’ parents. Know where your kids are all the time and who they are with. • Know their teachers and know the staff at the school. Be active in the PTA. If your child is having a challenge
with another student, alert the school. Talk to your kids about drugs, bullying, stranger danger and your family’s values. We have free brochures and videos on our website at www.jaxsheriff.org (click on Community Affairs - click on Crime Prevention Brochures) • Report criminal activity. Even if there is no suspect, you can call 630-0500 (non emergency) or go online at jaxsheriff.org (Report Crime) and help us track what is going on. The faster we hear from you, the more quickly we can deploy officers to problems and prevent a rash of auto burglaries from becoming an epidemic, for example. • Join a ShAdCo (Sheriff’s Advisory Council). This is really “where the rubber meets the road” for the 2,700 men and women of this community who spend an hour or two each month face-to-face with the police, and discuss the issues in their neighborhoods. I am continually amazed and pleased to see the problems that get solved, day in and day out, because we are communicating with one another and working together to solve and prevent crime. Call 630-2160 to learn more! • If you live in an apartment community, ask the management if they are members of our Multi-Unit Crime Free Community program? This is where criminal conduct is tracked in multifamily housing communities, and people who repeatedly break the law on the property are evicted and cannot rent apartments in other CFC certified apartment communities. Thank you. And if you see one of the men or women of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, please let them know how proud we are of them! I go to roll calls every quarter to thank them personally, but when it comes from a citizen we serve, it really means a lot. Of course, without you, we can’t succeed. So to all who have joined us in this good fight - we thank you!

area near the woods about 100 yards from where the collision had occurred the previous night. Police discovered that the body was a young woman, her face covered with blood, her body hideously mutilated. She had 14 sharp force injuries (stab wounds and slashes) to her head and neck, two that had slit her throat, and a large wound to her back. Both of her hands and arms had sharp force injuries or defensive wounds from the fight she had obviously put up against her assailant. She had been running for her life, literally, as her killer chased after her, waving a knife. By the position of her lifeless body, she had been on her knees when she received the fatal injuries, causing her to fall backward. Nearby was her purse that still possessed her wallet, credit cards and cash. Susan Addison felt something very wrong had happened to her only daughter, 29-year old Stacy Replogle. Stacy had not come home and, most importantly, she had not tried to contact anyone to tell them why. This was contrary to her daughter ’s usual behavior, regardless of
her state of mind. Addison called the police and reported her missing, although in her heart she knew her daughter was dead. When detectives interviewed her, she didn’t ask if her daughter was in the hospital; she asked if she was in the morgue. JSO Detective Sullivan said that he wouldn’t know until a positive identification was made by the Medical Examiner. The next morning Addison awakened her son and Stacy’s 11-year old daughter, got them ready for school and put them on the bus. She then called her job to say she would not be coming to work that day because she thought her daughter was dead. Three co-workers came to her home and took Addison to the morgue. She took a photo of Stacy in an effort to help them with the identification. Three to four hours later detectives informed her that a positive ID from a fingerprint analysis had been made. They told her what she already knew–the body belonged to Stacy. From then on, Addison stayed in touch with Det. Sullivan on a daily basis, refusing to take a passive

victim’s role. Instead, she decided to be proactive, gathering as many details as possible about Stacy’s life before the murder. In the meantime Sullivan acquired a search warrant for the truck involved in the Southside Boulevard crash. It was registered to an illegal alien named Benito Ramirez. DNA found within the truck was consistent with Stacy’s DNA. Detectives interviewed a waitress at a nearby restaurant who recalled seeing two people fitting Stacy and Ramirez’s description come in around 8 p.m. on the night of the crash. She selected Ramirez in a photo line-up and told the police that an argument had transpired between the couple. The man was angry when he left the restaurant. Stacy evidently ran after Ramirez, they drove away together in his truck, and about two and one-half miles away the crash occurred. Stacy apparently hit her head and then twice tried to dial 9-1-1, beginning one minute after the accident. She instead pushed wrong numbers like 3-1-1. Police reports state that Ramirez’s phone records detailed four calls he had made to one of his brothers, beginning a mere nine minutes after the crash. Only the victim and the murderer know what happened during those nine minutes, but what is clear is that Stacy ended up 17 feet down an embankment, in the woods, lying awkwardly where she had fallen
backward while on her knees. More damning information against Ramirez was forthcoming. In November 2005, Ramirez’s two brothers were interviewed separately by police. According to their reports, one brother stated that Benito had called and told him he was involved in a car accident and that a woman had died. The other brother corroborated this account, but added that Benito told him he had carried the dead body to the woods and then left. When that brother arrived to pick up Benito, he noticed he was muddy with scratches on his face and smelling like he had been drinking. He was reported to be violent when he drank. Moreover, Benito carried a knife. The brother also informed the police that Ramirez had fled to his native country of Mexico about 10 days later. But Benito Ramirez returned to the United States illegally. And on December 15, 10 months and 13 days after Stacy Replogle was murdered, JSO detectives placed him under arrest. He was given his Miranda warning in Spanish, informing him about his constitutional rights. During the interview that followed, Ramirez confessed to “cutting the victim with a knife in self-defense.” Almost 22 months later, Ramirez went on trial for murdering Stacy Replogle. When the verdict was returned on October 17, 2007, Benito Ramirez was found

guilty of first-degree premeditated murder and subsequently sentenced to life in prison. His lawyers soon filed a Notice of Appeal. July 2009 brought news to Susan Addison that she didn’t want to hear. The unthinkable had happened the conviction had been overturned. The appellate court had decided that Ramirez’s taped confession had been coerced, and the jury should not have been shown this piece of evidence. Instead of moving on and finding peace, Stacy’s family would be forced to re-live this horrifically tormenting time of their life. More than a year later, Stacy Replogle’s family, along with everyone involved in this case, found themselves in court, re-trying Benito Ramirez for her murder. The trial started Tuesday afternoon and ended a short two days later. Assistant State Attorney Brian Aull did an extraordinary job prosecuting this case and ended with a passionate closing argument. Even shorter was the jury’s deliberation - less than 40 minutes. On August 12, 2010, Benito Ramirez was again found guilty of firstdegree premeditated murder. Susan Addison reflected back to how Stacy had been trying to improve her life when it was brutally taken. “Stacy believed in everyone. She was extremely trusting and open and had trusted her killer, even though he was just an acquaintance. You know how a sea turtle has a tough shell to weather the elements but soft on the inside? Stacy was like that–tough on the outside but kind, loving and generous on the inside.” Her ashes are now scattered at sea among the sea turtles she was so much alike. Addison stated, “I don’t want the loss of Stacy’s life to be another statistic and mean nothing. She had value and mattered to a lot of people. Stacy’s gone, but she is definitely not forgotten.”
