Ms. Dechovitz' excitement lasted through the night of January 22 and into the morning of January 23, which began early for her. At 7:38 am, she emailed me and copied Howard Pohl and Don Horn,
Please come see either Howard or me TODAY. Thanks!
Although I emailed her back at 7:43, Dechovitz used those five minutes to update Pohl and Horn on her locate efforts. Under the "Subject: David Ranck" heading, she wrote,
I have emailed him (you were cced [sic]. I'm sure you saw that already.) I am also placing a note on his door. If he finds you and not me, call Machelle [a secretary] at 0309 and she'll find me. I will find you if he finds me... (emphasis added)
The ellipses represent an interruption in mid-sentence. The interruption was caused by... Subject David Ranck,
Well, while I was typing this, David came in. He insists on going to the 72 hour meeting and 'being heard.' I told him about the meeting yesterday and that it was decided that he would not be doing the investigation. He now wants to talk to everyone at that meeting. I told him that he is supposed to meet with Howard and I (sic) today and that he should start there. I would describe him as angry (controlled angry). I did not get to tell him that he is off police shooting duty. (emphasis added)
Howard,
Now that we know David is here, I am going to ask Machelle to schedule a meeting for the three of us today.
