Narrative
Case #14-5930
On October 15, 2014, I was contacted by Detective Sergeant Lindsey. Sergeant Lindsey requested that I contact
Sergeant Matt Cage, with the Longmont Police Department, in regards to an internal affairs investigation with the
Longmont Police Department.
On October 15, 2014, I contacted and spoke with Detective Sergeant Matt Cage with the Longmont Police
Department. Upon speaking with Sergeant Cage, he advised me of the following information:
A fatal head-on crash occurred on September 23, 2014, at 17th and Gay Street located in the City of Longmont,
Boulder County, Colorado. The crash was investigated by the Longmont Traffic Units, with the assistance of their
Crime Scene Investigation Unit, which includes their Evidence Technicians. The CSI investigators took
photographs of the scene, and one of the investigators identified as Cindy Lawley located one of the decedent's

purse from a vehicle, located in the purse was an identification of the decedent. Lawley took control of the purse
and the purse remained under her care and control until it was later turned over to the Boulder County Coroner's
Office, investigator Andrew Muck, at the Longmont United Hospital E.R. The purse was not inventoried by the
Longmont Police Department.
The Longmont Police Department was contacted by the decedent's common law husband after he had received
the property of the decedent from the Coroner's Office. The party advised the Longmont Police Department that
the majority of the items were returned to him, but he was missing approximately $800.00 to $1,200.00 that
should have been in his wife's purse. The party was able to supply the Longmont Police Department with receipts
in regards to a check that was cashed by the decedent prior to the accident, as well as receipts of purchases that
were made the day of the accident by the decedent.
Having learned this information the Longmont Police Department contacted and spoke with Cindy Lawley. Lawley
was questioned about the purse and its contents. Lawley stated that she recalled seeing a $100.00 bill in the
purse, describing it as new. She stated she didn't take the money out of the purse, and only took the identification
out of the purse which she turned over to Officer Michael Stogsdill, who was running the scene. Lawley also
recalls seeing a $5.00 bill in the purse.
Based on the information Longmont Police Department learned from the decedent's common law husband, and
the information they learned from speaking with CSI Lawley, they requested the Boulder County Sheriff's Office
investigate this matter further. I learned that this information was forwarded on to the Boulder County Coroner's
Office.
On October 16, 2014, at approximately 1100 hours, I met with Sergeant Matt Cage at the Boulder County Sheriff's
Office Headquarters Building. Upon speaking with Sergeant Cage, he supplied me with a Longmont Police
Department In-House Incident Report, completed by Michael Stogsdill and Cindy Lawley. I also received a State
of Colorado Traffic Accident Report; Longmont Police Report 14-8210; a Boulder County Coroner's Office
Inventory of Property of Personal Effects Form, specifically three pages; a copy of a First National Bank Checking
and Savings Deposit Form dated 09/16/2014 for account of Old Painting Company, a total amount of $1,474.00,
less cash received of $1,200.00, deposit amount of $274.00; a First National Bank Check and Savings Deposit
Form dated 09/15/2014, for Old Painting Company, in the amount of $3,890.00, less cash received of $3,000.00,
deposit of $890.00; and photographs taken through the course of this investigation.
I supplied Sergeant Cage with my business card and the associated case number. Cage stated that Michael
Stogsdill, as well as Cindy Lawley, would be willing to complete interviews in regards to this investigation. This
concluded my contact with Sergeant Cage.
On October 16, 2014, I went through the in-house incident reports, case report, traffic accident forms,
photographs, and the other documents that were supplied to me. Upon reviewing these documents, I learned the
following information:
On September 23, 2014, at approximately 1506 hours, Longmont Police Officers were dispatched to the area of
17th and Gay Street, located in the Town of Longmont, Boulder County, Colorado, on the report of a traffic
accident, specifically a head-on collision. Two vehicles were involved, and one driver was pronounced dead on
scene, identified as Lisa Marie Garcia, date of birth 09/24/85, who was driving a 2002 Saturn Vue, gray in color.
The second driver was transported from the scene, identified as Therese Woodworth, date of birth 06/05/1956.
Woodworth was driving a 1981 Chevrolet C1500 pickup truck. Woodworth was transported to the Longmont
United Hospital Emergency Room where she was later pronounced dead.
The primary officer on scene was identified as Michael Stogsdill, with the Longmont Police Department. Stogsdill
was coordinating the scene, and requested assistance from crime scene techs (CSIs) for assistance. CSI Techs
Cindy Lawley and Dawn Cavins responded to the scene and began taking photographs of the scene and assisted
in processing.
Cindy Lawley was assisting Officer Stogsdill and located a purse in the 1981 Chevrolet pickup truck, with the
driver being identified as Therese Woodworth. She located the purse and described the purse as being extremely
full but neat. She located in the purse a driver's license for Therese Woodworth. This driver's license was turned

Narrative
over to Officer Stogsdill who forwarded the information to officers at the hospital for positive identification.
Lawley took possession of the purse and placed the purse in a brown paper bag, securing the purse in the
Evidence van on scene, locking the van. The purse remained in her care and custody until she responded to the
Longmont United Hospital Emergency Room, and met with Coroner's Investigator Andrew Muck. Lawley did not
inventory the purse, and turned the purse over to Muck who had other personal belongings of both victims with
him. Also with Muck was Officer Shawn Sloan, with the University of Colorado Police Department, and per
Lawley it was her understanding that Sloan was shadowing Muck through this investigation. The identification to
the decedent was also turned over to Muck. This information is documented in detail in Cindy Lawley's report
under the In-House Incident Report Form.
On September 24, 2014, Officer Stogsdill met with Damon Drake, date of birth 01/12/65, Woodworth's common
law husband. Damon gave consent to search the vehicle and conduct a vehicle inspection. Damon stated during
the contact with Stogsdill that his wife had approximately $1,200.00 in cash on her at the time of the crash and he
wanted to get the money back as well as several items from the truck, which included a carton of cigarettes, a
large Bowie knife, and his tools.
On September 27, 2014, Officer Stogsdill was contacted by Damon again who stated that he had retrieved
Woodworth's property from the Coroner's Office and the $1,000.00 was missing. Damon agreed to meet Officer
Stogsdill to go through the items that were returned to him from the Coroner's Office. The items were still sealed.
The $1,000.00 was not present. The only money that was present was $3.00 in bills and miscellaneous change.
Officer Stogsdill contacted Andrew Muck with the Coroner's Office in regards to the missing money. Muck stated
that he did not inventory the purse and the purse had been inventoried by Melinda Rose, an investigator with the
Coroner's Office. Copies of the inventory sheets from the Coroner's Office were forwarded on to Stogsdill.
Nowhere in the inventory list does it show $1,200.00 in cash. Upon going through the property several items were
located to include two receipts. The first receipt was a Sprouts receipt dated 09/23/2014 at 1150 hours with the
amount being $19.36 worth of groceries and was paid in cash in $100.00, change given $80.64. The second
receipt was a King Soopers receipt dated 09/23/2014 at 1312 hours. The purchases are listed as $62.44 worth of
groceries, $63.00 cash given, 56 cents change given. This would be a total of $18.20 remaining from the $100.00
from the initial purchase.
Damon was able to supply Officer Stogsdill with two deposit receipts for his business, for First National Bank
Checking and Savings, for the Old Painting Company. The first deposit slip is dated 09/15/2014, in the amount of
$3,890.00, less cash received $3,000.00, deposit of $890.00. The second receipt is dated 09/16/2014, in the
amount of $1,474.00, less cash received of $1,200.00, total deposited $274.00. Damon stated that he and his
wife owned a business together, and they did not necessarily believe in banks. They would only deposit the
amount needed into their banks to cover their bills, and kept the rest in cash. It was Damon's opinion that his wife
should have approximately $800.00 to $1,000.00 in her possession at the time of the accident.
Officer Stogsdill contacted and spoke with Cindy Lawley. Lawley stated that she remembers seeing at least a
$100.00 bill in the wallet that was in the purse. Lawley stated that she couldn't recall seeing any additional bills,
but was adamant that she saw a $100.00 bill in the purse. She stated that the bill stood out because it was one of
the new bills and that it looked like "funny money."
In Lawley's in-house incident report she speaks of how she collected the purse, and the funds she found in the
purse. She stated that she noted Officer Stogsdill had a black purse sitting on the ground next to him when she
was on scene with him. She noticed that he was busy with phone calls, directing the scene of a chaotic incident,
and large scene. She asked Officer Stogsdill if she could assist and he asked if she could try to locate an
identification for the victim who had been transported to the hospital. She noted that the purse was not zipped
shut and it was "cram-packed" with many items. She described these items were not shoved in the purse in a
disorderly fashion, but were in neat order. She described the purse as having a lot of items which made the purse
appear to be really full. She located prescription bottles, and an identification, listing back to Woodworth. She
obtained the identification from the purse, and handed the ID to Officer Stogsdill who was standing next to her
during this incident. Officer Stogsdill took photographs of the identification and handed the identification back to
Lawley and she placed it sideways towards the middle of the purse so it stuck halfway out, that way it could easily

be retrieved if needed again. As she was placing the ID back in the purse, she noticed the $100.00 bill in the area
that she had placed the ID. She noticed it because it was one of the new versions of the $100.00 bill. She
described the bills as looking like fake money. She also recalled seeing a loosely folded $5.00 bill sitting on top of
the items in the purse. It was not neatly placed in the same area as the $100.00 bill. She did not take the money
out and count it as this was not her normal procedure. The purse was not inventoried prior to being turned over
to the Coroner's Office.
Upon review of the Longmont Police Department report, and other documents, it appears that several officers
were involved in this incident. It appears that the purse was primarily handled by Officer Stogsdill and Cindy
Lawley on scene, and then transported to the Longmont United Hospital, where it was turned over to Coroner's
Investigator Andrew Muck, in the presence of University of Colorado Police Officer Shawn Sloan.
For further specifics, please refer to the Longmont case reports and documentation, which will be added to this
case file. I viewed the photographs of the scene, to include the accident scene, as well as the decedent Therese
Woodworth at the Longmont United Hospital. Upon viewing the photographs, I did not see a photograph of the
purse in question. There was a photograph of the second decedent's purse, which was black and white in color.
There were no photographs of the purse at the hospital. There was a photograph of the decedent's identification
taken at the hospital.
At a later time the photographs from the Longmont Police Department will be submitted into Evidence.
On October 16, 2014, at approximately 1300 hours, I met with Lead Coroner's Investigator Dustin Bueno. Bueno
was aware of this incident. I contacted him the day prior requesting I receive copies of the Boulder County
Sheriff's Office Coroner's report, along with any photographs in regards to this incident. Bueno supplied me with
the requested items. Upon speaking with Bueno, I learned that he had not notified Andrew Muck or Melinda Rose
of this investigation. He learned about this incident initially when the decedent's husband along with
approximately four other parties arrived at the Coroner's Office to collect the items that had belonged to the
decedent. He was in the office but was not specifically involved in turning the items over to the husband, Damon
Drake. He did recall that Drake made mention that he was missing money from his wife's property. Bueno stated
that he believed that this was due to Drake being distraught over the recent death of his wife.
I asked Bueno how items that are recovered from a scene are secured. He stated that the items are secured by
the investigator into their Property and Evidence Division. He described this as a large secured room that is
controlled with a key card access. He stated that all investigators have access to this room. He stated that it is
normal practice that when items are collected from a scene they are secured in a locker in the Property and
Evidence Room until they can be inventoried.
I neglected to state earlier in my report when I initially met with Sergeant Cage he advised me that Drake did not
initially receive from the Coroner's Office the jewelry that was recovered from his common law wife during the
autopsy examination. These items were later turned over to Drake after Drake re-contacted the Coroner's Office
requesting the items be returned to him.
I spoke with Bueno in regards to this. Bueno stated that this was true and that the items had been mistakenly not
been returned to Drake.
Bueno spoke to me in regards to the Coroner's Office reports, one for Therese Woodworth and the second for
Lisa Garcia. He stated that the initial portions of the reports are documented in regards to the initial scene, which
would have been completed by Andrew Muck. There are then additional follow-up investigation reports that are
completed by other investigators who are identified with only initials. I learned that the initials MEV are Melinda
Rose's, initials AM are Andrew Muck's, and WEK is Wendy Kane.
Bueno stated that his office would cooperate in this investigation and he believed that the investigators would
complete an interview with me in regards to their involvement. I supplied Bueno with my business card and the
case report number. This concluded my contact with Bueno.
On October 16, 2014, I reviewed the Boulder County Coroner's Office report in regards to Therese Woodworth,
and Lisa Garcia. Upon reviewing the document in regards to Therese Woodworth, I noted that Investigator Muck
stated that he arrived at Longmont United Hospital and the decedent was located in Trauma Room 1. At the

Narrative
conclusion of the examination of the decedent, Cindy Lwley, with the Longmont Police Department, gave him
the decedent's purse which was originally collected from the vehicle by Longmont Fire EMS personnel. Muck took
custody of the purse and it was taken to the Coroner's Office and placed in a secured storage pending proper
inventory.
The inventory was completed on 09/24/2014 at 1000 hours by Melinda Rose. Melinda Rose lists the inventory as
follows:
$18.61 in United States coinage, $3.00 in United States currency, three yellow metal earrings, 11 white metal
keys, three yellow metal keys, two white metal keys with black tops, two black metal keys, one black purse, one
keychain with bottle opener, one green bead with white metal necklace, one black wallet, one yellow metal prayer
coin, one clear brown stone necklace, one blue carabiner, one tape measure, three hair ties, three pocket knives,
10 pens, two bottles of apothecary liquid; one blue, pink and white rosary, one pack of gum, one tube of lip balm,
two Colorado driver's licenses
, one checkbook, one clear stone, two Zig Zag brand wrapper
papers, one TGIF gift card (unknown remaining amount), three postage stamps, five scratch lottery tickets, one
lottery ticket form, one electronic cigarette, 61 miscellaneous papers and receipts, one nail file, two prayer notes,
one Social Security card
, two medical marijuana licenses, 63 miscellaneous cards, and two
fishing licenses. Rose states that these items were returned to secured storage following the inventory. She also
notes that within the decedent's wallet a suspected marijuana cigarette was located and inventoried separately on
evidence form #418. Andrew Muck was advised of this information.
I reviewed the Boulder County Coroner's Office report in regards to Lisa Garcia. I noted that she had similar items
through the course of inventory. The inventory for Garcia's items were completed on 09/24/2014 at 1401 hours,
once again by Melinda Rose. I noted that the purse in this inventory was black and white in color. The only
currency listed in this inventory was 92 cents in coinage.
I viewed the photographs taken by the Coroner's Office through this investigation. There were no photographs of
the purse. There was a photograph of the decedent's driver's license which appears to be taken at Longmont
United Hospital. The photographs from the Coroner's Office at a later time will be placed into Evidence.
This completes my involvement in this case at this time.

Narrative
Case #14-5930
On October 20, 2014, I completed a full criminal work-up on Damon Drake, 01/12/1965. I learned that Drake has
a criminal history out of the State of Florida, North Carolina, and Colorado. The Florida and North Carolina
criminal histories were FOJ charges, in regards to warrants issued for his arrest out of the State of Colorado.
Drake's Colorado criminal history has seven entries dating between 02/21/1984 through 11/08/1990 to include
FTCs, parole violations, possession of drugs, and traffic offenses. Drake was remanded to the Territorial
Correctional Facility on 12/20/1988, for the charge of Possession of Dangerous Drugs. He was then printed on
11/08/1990, in regards for parole. There were no additional arrests after 11/08/1990. Copies of the documents
will be added to this case file.
On the morning of October 20, 2014, I attempted to contact Officer Michael Stogsdill, and CSI Cindy Lawley to
attempt to complete interviews with them. I learned both parties were currently off duty. I was able to contact
Cindy Lawley by telephone and schedule an interview with her at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office
Headquarters Building for October 21, 2014 at 0730 hours.
On October 20, 2014 at approximately 0930 hours, I contacted Officer Shawn Sloan with the University of
Colorado Police Department. Upon speaking with Sloan, I advised him of this investigation and asked if he would
be willing to speak with me. Sloan agreed.
On October 20, 2014 at 1000 hours, I interviewed Sloan at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Headquarters

Narrative
Building, Investigation Section, Interview Room 1. I identified myself to Sloan, and advised him that this interview
would be recorded. I gave Sloan an overview of this investigation. I asked Sloan if he was shadowing the
Coroner's Office, specifically Investigator Andrew Muck on September 23, 2014. Sloan stated that he was, and
received a page at approximately 1630 hours on September 23, 2014, to respond to the scene of a double fatal
accident to shadow the Coroner's Office. He believes he arrived on scene at approximately 1700 hours. He was
completing this assignment to have a better understanding of death investigations. Sloan estimates that 15
officers from his department were completing similar shadowing's with the Coroner's Office investigators.
Sloan recalled the scene, and recalled a female being removed from a minivan, and then placed in a body bag.
He knew another party was transported to the Longmont United Hospital prior to their arrival.
I spoke with Sloan about the other vehicle in question, specifically the 1981 black pickup truck. He stated he saw
the vehicle but was never inside the vehicle. He described the scene as items thrown about the roadway. I asked
him if he specifically saw any money and/or currency on the roadway. He stated that he did not.
I asked Sloan if Muck was the only Coroner's investigator on scene. He stated that he was. Sloan and Muck left
the scene and went to Longmont United Hospital ER in regards to the other victim in this case. They took
separate vehicles. When they arrived two female crime scene investigators with the Longmont Police Department
were in the ER taking photographs of the decedent. Sloan believes that family of the decedent was in the
hospital. They learned that the family wanted to see the decedent. Muck made the decision that the family would
not be able to view the decedent at this time and the family left the hospital.
Sloan recalled that there were several uniformed officers outside the trauma room where the decedent was
located. Sloan recalled that they took the decedent's clothing and a necklace. He described the necklace as a
broken necklace. He recalled bagging the clothing, and the necklace. He did not recall the driver's license of the
victim. He knows that Muck took photographs of the decedent, but did not specifically recall him the
photographing the driver's license of the victim.
He helped placed the decedent into a body bag, and he assisted Muck with walking the remains to the van and
loading the decedent.
He recalls the CSI officers left the hospital prior to them leaving .
I asked Sloan if he recalled the decedent to have a purse. He stated that he did not. I asked Muck if he recalled
the CSI officers to give Muck or himself a purse. He stated that he did not. I asked Sloan if he recalled the CSI
officers to give him or Muck any items whether it be in a brown paper bag or a plastic bag. He stated that he did
not recall. I asked Sloan if he recalled Muck to have anything in his hands when they removed the body from the
hospital. He stated that he was not certain, but believed that he may have had a plastic bag but wasn't sure.
It should be noted that in Cindy Lawley's In-House Incident Report she states on page 2, second paragraph, that
she and Cavins arrived prior to Muck's arrival. Once Muck arrived, she learned that he was being shadowed by
C.U. Police Officer Shawn Sloan. She had the decedent's purse in her care and custody, in a brown paper bag.
She handed the bag with the purse and its contents to C.U. Officer Shawn Sloan and the ID was given to
Investigator Muck.
I asked Sloan if he recalled this incident. He stated that he did not, and once again stated he could not remember
if he received any items from the CSI officers.
I asked Sloan if anyone would have had access to any property the decedent would have had. He stated that he
did not believe so due to the fact there were three to four uniformed officers standing guard over the decedent.
I asked Sloan how his interaction was with Muck during this investigation. He described it as good, nothing
unusual. He knows Muck to have family in law enforcement.
I asked Sloan if he ever left Muck during this investigation at the hospital. He stated that he was with him the
entire time with the exception of when he had to use the restroom. He stated he was only gone a few minutes,
and he believed when he was gone that Muck was talking with the head nurse at the time, and/or other officers.
I asked Sloan if he could be specific in regards to the time frame when he arrived at the hospital and when he

would have left. He stated that he would have to check his timecard and get back to me. He later called me and
stated that upon checking his timecard for the date of this incident that he received a page at approximately 1615
hours, and returned back to the University of Colorado Police Department at 2015. He could not be any more
specific in regards to the time frame.
I asked Sloan if there was anything else we needed to speak about in regards to this investigation. He stated
there was not. The interview was concluded at approximately 1015 hours.
The interview with Sloan was digitally recorded and later downloaded to DVD format and placed into Evidence,
item #MJS-1.
On October 20, 2014, I made telephone contact with Marianne Csotty, date of birth 07/14/30. Per the Longmont
Police report I learned that Marianne was the mother of the decedent and was with the decedent prior to the
accident.
Upon speaking with Marianne, I identified myself to her and advised her of this investigation. Upon speaking with
Marianne, I learned the following information:
On September 23, 2014, her daughter came to her residence at approximately 11:00 a.m. and left at
approximately 2:50 p.m. She was with her daughter during this entire time, and they shopped in the south
Longmont area. They shopped at the Twin Peaks Liquors, purchasing cigarettes. She, Marianne, stayed in the
vehicle while her daughter went in to retrieve the cigarettes for her. She believed her daughter only spent
approximately $20.00 at the liquor store for the purchase of cigarettes. They then went to the King Soopers
located on South Hover and completed shopping. She believed her daughter spent approximately $40.00 on
grocery shopping. They then went to the Sprouts located in south Longmont. She believes her daughter spent
approximately two $20.00 bills, receiving change for the purchases.
They then returned back to Marianne's residence, and her daughter assisted her with putting the groceries away.
She recalled her daughter to have her purse with her when they were together. She recalled seeing in her
daughter purse a large amount of cash. She recalled speaking with her daughter about the cash, advising her
that she needs to deposit it in the bank. Her daughter stated that she had approximately $1,000.00 to $1,200.00
in cash due to the fact that she recently was paid for a painting job. She recalled her daughter's purse to be
unzipped, and could clearly see into the purse. I asked Marianne about how her daughter carried the purse in the
vehicle. She stated that she normally kept the purse next to her in the center of the bench seat of the pickup
truck. Marianne and her daughter were in the 1981 pickup truck during the course of the day.
I asked Marianne if her daughter could have left the money at her home. She stated that she checked the home
and didn't find it, and doesn't think the money was left there.
I asked Marianne about her daughter's relationship with Damon Drake. She stated that they have been together
approximately 20 years, and describes him as "my right-hand man." She stated that her daughter and Damon
had a very good relationship.
Marianne spoke in more detail about the money that she saw in her daughter's purse. She stated that she saw
the money in the purse, and when her daughter handled the money she remembered her daughter being careful
with it, and would check the money, folding over the corners to count the money.
While speaking with Marianne, I noted her to be extremely articulate for her age. She answered my questions
appropriately, and also asked me questions in regards to this investigation.
I asked Marianne if there was anything else we should speak about in regards to this investigation. She stated
that there was not. I supplied Marianne with my contact information and this concluded my contact with her.
Later in the day on October 20, 2014, I made telephone contact with Sara Woodworth, date of birth 04/05/78, the
daughter of the decedent. Upon speaking with Sara, I identified myself to her and advised her of this
investigation. Upon speaking with Sara, I learned the following information:
On September 23, 2014, she spoke with her mother at approximately 2:00 p.m., after her mother was done
shopping with her grandmother. She spoke with her mother about coming over for a few minutes, which she

agreed. She knows her mother and grandmother went shopping, and believes they went to the King Soopers,
Sprouts, and possibly a liquor store for cigarettes for her grandmother. She advised her mother to try to be at her
house by 3:00 due to the fact that she had to work that night. At approximately 2:58 p.m., she called her mother
and recalled this time due to the fact she looked at her cell phone, and the wall clock, and was very cognizant
about the time. When she called her mother she stated that she was just leaving. This was the last time she
spoke with her mother. Her mother stated that she was on the way over to her home.
Sara knows that her mother normally keeps money on her person, in large amounts. She did not specifically
know how much money her mother had on her on the date of this incident, but only knew that her mother went
shopping, assuming that she had money on her person. She later learned through speaking with Damon that he
believed she had approximately $800.00 to $1,200.00 on her at the time of this accident. Sara stated she did not
specifically know what type of denominations the money was in.
Sara knows her mother to normally carry a purse, carrying the money in her purse. She recalled her mother used
to normally carry money in a bank envelope, but believes she does not normally carry it in this manner anymore.
She knows her mother to carry small bill sin her pockets.
Normally when her mother drives the pickup truck she puts her purse in the center of the bench seat.
Sara knows her mother doesn't leave money at home due to the fact her brother, the decedent's son, Ian, has
some issues, and steals from his mother, including money and/or pills. She knows that her mother recently
received prescription medication and believes that the prescription medication was with her when this accident
occurred. The Coroner's Office never turned over the prescription medication to Damon.
She spoke with Damon after this incident and was present with Damon when he went to pick up items from the
Coroner's Office that had belonged to her mother. They were late arriving at the Coroner's Office and the items
had been turned over to the funeral home, which she identified as Ahlberg (spelling unknown). They responded
to the funeral home and were able to pick up her mother's personal items, but were missing rings and the money.
They received two inventory sheets from the funeral home that were supplied to the funeral home by the
Coroner's Office. It was later learned that the rings were not with the property and there was an additional
inventory sheet. They contacted the Coroner's Office, and the rings and the inventory sheet were turned over to
them. The money was never turned over to them.
While speaking with Damon, he advised Sara that he believed the decedent had approximately $800.00 to
$1,200.00 cash on her at the time of this accident. He knew this due to the fact that they were planning on
purchasing a Suburban the following day for the painting business, and he knew how much the decedent had on
her, and how much he had to complete the purchase.
Damon went on to state that he had checked the banks for any deposits, and also checked the home for the
money. The money was never located in the home, and the money was never deposited by the decedent. Sara
also checked the bank and the home, and once again the money was not located.
I asked Sara her relationship with Damon. She stated that it was very good, and stated that she does not like to
use the word "Dad" due to the fact Damon is not her biological father, and stated that the word "Dad" doesn't
totally describe the good relationship she has with Damon.
I asked Sara if she believed that Damon might be lying in regards to this incident to collect additional funds. She
stated she didn't think he would.
I asked Sara if any additional items were returned to her that did not belong to her mother. She stated that all the
items they received belonged to her mother. The only item missing is the cash in question.
I asked Sara if there was anything additional we needed to speak about in regards to this investigation. She
stated that there was not. I supplied Sara with my contact information and this concluded my contact with her.
On October 10, 2014, at approximately 1330 hours, I contacted and spoke with Damon Drake. Upon speaking
with Damon, I identified myself to him and advised him of this investigation. Upon speaking with Damon, I learned
the following information:

Narrative
He and the decedent are self-employed and own a painting company. Prior to this incident, he and the decedent
had cashed two checks in regards to payment for their business. He spoke about the checks being one at
approximately $1,200.00, and the other one at approximately $3,80.00. This would be consistent with the two
deposit slips I received from Officer Stogsdill in regards to this incident.
The $1,200.00 check he is referring to is a check in the amount of $1,474.00, less cash received of $1,200.00,
with a deposit of $274.00, dated on 09/16/2014. Damon stated that the decedent kept the money in regards to
the $1,200.00 in her purse. They cashed the $3,800.00 check, and he kept the remainder, $3,000.00. This check
was cashed on 09/15/2014.
They were planning on purchasing a Suburban the following day after this incident had occurred. They were
going to use the cash they had with them to make the purchase. The purchase was for their business. Damon
saw his wife at the bank collect the cash, and put it in her purse. During the time frame of the 16th through the
23rd, he was with his wife at all times. He stated that they spend every hour of every day together, and have been
doing this for the past 20 years. He pays for everything when they are out. He knows that his wife did not use
any of the money with the exception of the shopping she did on the morning of this incident with her mother. He
knew that she did not fill up the vehicles with gas due to the fact that he always takes care of that and always has
gas in the vehicles for her. At the time of this incident the only vehicle they had running was the 1981 Chevy
pickup truck.
On September 23, 2014, he believes that the decedent left their residence sometime between 9:00 and 10:00
a.m. for her mother's residence. This was the last time he saw the decedent.
We spoke about the specific denominations of funds that the decedent would have had with her, which she
received from the bank. Damon stated that they would have been primarily in $100.00 bills, describing the bills as
fresh, "brand new." This would be consistent with the description that Cindy Lawley states in her In-House
Incident Report.
I asked Damon if he had checked the residence in regards to the funds. He stated that he did, and also checked
their bank accounts. There were no deposits, and there was no money found at the residence. I asked Damon if
he was certain that his wife had taken the purse and funds with her. He stated that he was, due to the fact that
they have issues with their son, Ian, who steals from them, including money and/or any type of drugs. He knows
his wife to be on medication for a nerve issue in her face. This occurred only a few months ago. He knows his
wife to take her medication at 7:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Damon knows that the decedent always kept the money in a black long shaped wallet which she kept in her
purse. Damon described the decedent as very protective of the purse, and when they were sitting in the house
she would even have the purse adjacent to her. He knows when she drives the pickup truck she normally keeps
the purse in the center of the seat adjacent to her.
I asked Damon if anything else was missing, or if he received any additional property that did not belong to the
decedent. He stated they received everything with the exception of the prescription medication, and the money in
question. No additional items were returned to them.
I asked Damon if he spoke with Ian, and if it was possible that Ian took the funds. He stated that he confronted
Ian about this and he does not believe that Ian took the money, or would have had the opportunity to take the
money.
I spoke with Damon about how he received the items back from the Coroner's Office. He gave the same
statement that Sara did, stating that the rings were not initially with the property. Once they re-contacted the
Coroner's Office, the rings were returned to them.
I asked Damon if there was anything additional we needed to speak about in regards to this investigation. He
stated there was not. I noted that Damon appeared to be appropriately emotional during our conversation. I
supplied Damon with my contact information and this concluded my contact with him.

was scheduled to meet with me at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Headquarters Building at 0900 hours; Rose
was scheduled to meet at approximately 1000 hours.
The day prior I contacted Cindy Lawley, the evidence tech with the Longmont Police Department. We scheduled
an interview for October 21, 2014, at 0730 hours, once again at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Headquarters
Building.
At approximately 0725 hours, I completed an interview with Cindy Lawley, at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office
Headquarters Building, Interview Room 1, located in the Investigations Section of the Boulder County Sheriff's
Office. Upon speaking with Cindy, I identified myself to her. I know Cindy through several other investigations.
Cindy was very familiar with this investigation and wanted to complete an interview in regards to her involvement.
I had with me a copy of the In-House Incident Report completed by Michael Stogsdill, as well as Cindy Lawley. It
should be noted that when I was reviewing these documents I noted a discrepancy. In Stogsdill's report he states
that Cindy Lawley retrieved a purse from the driver's vehicle, a 1981 Chevrolet pickup. Cindy brought the purse to
his location, a short distance from the truck, and sat the purse on the ground. She retrieved a Colorado driver's
license from the purse which identified the driver as Therese Marie Woodworth. In Lawley's report she states that
she noticed Officer Stogsdill had a purse sitting on the ground next to him when she arrived on scene. Stogsdill
was very busy with phone calls, and directing the scene and all the chaos dealing with a large scene. She asked
Officer Stogsdill if he needed help with anything or if he wanted her to take custody of the purse.
The interviews with Cindy Lawley, Andrew Muck, and Melinda Rose were all completed in Interview Room 1, and
digitally and audio recorded. At a later time these recordings will be downloaded and placed into Evidence.
The following will be an overview of the interview with Cindy Lawley.
I gave Lawley an overview of this investigation. Lawley advised me of the following information in regards to her
involvement:
On September 23, 2014, at approximately 1500 hours, the Longmont Evidence Division received a telephone call
from Officer Stogsdill requesting assistance in regards to a fatality crash at 17th and Gay. Lawley and Dawn
Cavins, the other evidence tech drove to the scene in Dawn Cavins unmarked Evidence vehicle, which she
described as a large box type of truck.
The arrived on scene and they met with Sergeant Orr and Sergeant Ross, who gave them an overview of the
investigation. They were advised that another victim was transported to Longmont United Hospital, and was
pronounced dead at the hospital. There was one decedent on scene still in the vehicle.
They met with Officer Stogsdill, and Dawn Cavins began taking overall photographs of the scene. She assisted
Cavins in taking these photographs, basically removing people from the area, and assisting with the general
taking of the photographs. There was a new recruit working that day with one of the traffic units. She believed
the new patrol recruit was a Nick Hymen. She believes he was in his traffic phase. He requested to assist in
regards to the photographing of the scene, and was in a bucket truck with Cavins during the aerial photographs of
the scene. While Cavins was taking the aerial shots of the scene, Cindy stood by one of the fire trucks on scene
to stay out of the photographs. Once Cavins was completed with the aerial photographs, she continued taking
more detailed photographs of the scene.
Stogsdill was on the east side of the scene, and was on the phone. He appeared to be very busy. She observed
on the ground next to him a black purse. She asked Stogsdill if he needed any assistance. Stogsdill advised her
that the victim at the hospital needed to be identified and asked if she would look for identification in the purse
adjacent to him. She assumed that the purse adjacent to Stogsdill was the purse belonging to the victim at the
hospital, later identified as Woodworth.
The purse that was adjacent to Stogsdill was unzipped, but the items were still intact inside the purse. She never
asked how the purse came to this location. She described the purse as black with silver "bling" attached to the
purse. She said the purse was an average size, describing the size of the purse as the size of the paper that was
on the desk in the interview room. The purse had a long strap attached. The purse once again was unzipped,
and she described the purse as being cram packed, but neatly packed with several items. She noted on one end
of the purse there to be prescription bottles that were broken, and she saw pills and pill fragments scattered upon

the purse. She removed one of the prescription bottles from the purse and noted the victim's name to be
imprinted on the purse. On the right-hand side of the purse, she located an ID holder or wallet, possibly black in
color. She could not be specifically recall this item. She did recall that the identification she located in the purse
was not loose; it was in some type of holder. She did not recall any other identification cards or any other items
located in the purse. She obtained a Colorado driver's license listing to the decedent, which she handed over to
Officer Stogsdill. Officer Stogsdill took a photograph of the identification and she assumed he forwarded this
information on to officers at the hospital. She knew that she was going to have to locate this identification at a
later time, and put the identification back in the purse sideways protruding out of the purse slightly. She described
putting the identification in the middle portion of the purse.
When she placed the identification in the purse, she recalled seeing a $100.00 bill. She stated that it looked fake,
and described it as "funny money." She has not seen many $100.00 bills, and described this as a new type of
printing for a $100.00 bill. She stated that the $100.00 bill was in the center of the purse, not in a wallet, but
neatly put in the purse between items. She also located in the opposite end of the purse from the prescription
bottles a $5.00 bill folded up on top of the items.
She recalled when she was going through the purse that Officer Stogsdill was to her left, and she believes that
Officer Tim Lambert was to her right. She noted that during this investigation there were two purses located, one
she removed from the vehicle the Saturn Vue belonging to Garcia. The other purse in question was located
adjacent to Stogsdill, and was a purse belonging to Woodworth.
Once she placed the identification back in the purse she left the purse adjacent to Stogsdill. Stogsdill was on the
phone and was still dealing with the scene. She responded to the Evidence van, which she said was within the
crime scene of this incident. The back of the Evidence van was facing away from the primary portion of the
scene, and she did not have a clear view of the back of the van during this investigation. She obtained a grocery
sized brown paper bag, and returned back to Stogsdill. She was gone approximately 3 to 5 minutes. The purse
appeared to be in the same position as she left it and did not appear to be disturbed. She placed the purse into
the brown paper bag, and transported the purse directly to the Evidence van, placing it in the back right portion of
the van. She locked the van. She stated that she was certain of this, and stated this was her normal practice.
She described to me how to lock the van.
The keys to the van were left in the main cab of the van in the center console area. The front portion of the van
was not locked; once again the van was in the crime scene. The back of the van was secured. The back portion
of the van could be entered by using the keys to the van. She did not recall ever seeing anyone enter the van
while she was completing this investigation. She recovered additional evidence from the scene and placed these
items at one time in the back of the van adjacent to the brown paper bag containing the purse of Woodworth. She
noted that the bag containing Woodworth's purse was still in the same position and did not appear to be disturbed
in any way. She locked the van and returned back to the scene.
She described the scene as very chaotic, with approximately four fire trucks, and "tons of fire personnel and police
department officers."
Sometime during the course of the investigation, Coroner's Investigator Andrew Muck arrived. He arrived alone.
Sometime later Officer Shawn Sloan with the University of Colorado Police Department arrived on scene. She
later learned that Sloan was shadowing Muck.
She does not recall Cavins to go back to the van. She described Cavins' primary duty was photographing, and
the majority of Cavins' equipment was stored in the front of the van. Only she and Cavins have keys to the van.
No one else on scene would have had access to the van.
She and Cavins left the scene, and Cavins drove the van to Longmont United Hospital. They left the accident
scene prior to Muck and Sloan.
When she and Cavins arrived at Longmont United Hospital, they parked adjacent to the E.R. entrance. They
entered into the Emergency Room, specifically Trauma Room 1 where the decedent was located. They did not
enter Trauma Room 1, due to the fact they were waiting for the Coroner's investigator to arrive. They just briefly
looked into the room and saw the decedent. There were two uniformed officers standing guard at the scene. She

was not certain of who these officers were. She knew that there were two other officers on scene also assisting
with the hospital duty dealing with the family of the decedent who were on scene. They waited approximately 30
to 45 minutes before Coroner Investigator Muck, and Sloan arrived.
Once Muck and Sloan arrived, they all entered into Trauma Room 1, and Cavins began taking photographs of the
decedent. She assisted with the photographs along with Sloan. She recalled that the decedent had change in
her pocket, and a necklace, which she described as amber in color, broken, and laying somewhere on the
remains. She remembered this necklace and remembered seeing it in the driver's license photograph of the
decedent she saw on scene. These items were collected by Muck, and they were placed in a bio bag. There
were no other items with the decedent at this time.
Muck asked Lawley if they had the decedent's identification. She responded yes and stated that they had the
decedent's identification and purse. Muck stated that he would collect these items. She returned to the van,
which she noticed to still be locked and secured. She noted that the purse, and the other items placed in the back
of the van to not have spilled over, and were in the same position as when she secured them. She took the
brown paper bag containing the purse, and responded back into Trauma Room 1. She placed the bag by the feet
of the decedent in Trauma Room 1. The only persons in Trauma Room 1 were Muck, Sloan, Cavins, and herself.
She pulled the ID out of the bag and gave it to Muck. She gave the bag to Sloan. She believes that Sloan put
the bag in the corner, specifically the left front corner of Trauma Room 1, by the sink.
When she removed the identification from the purse she never went through the purse again, and did not
specifically look in the purse at this time. She did not inventory the purse before giving it to the Coroner's Office.
She described Trauma Room 1 as having an adjacent Trauma Room 2 next to it, separated only by a curtain. No
one was in Trauma Room 2 during their time in Trauma Room 1.
Once they turned over the items to Muck and Sloan, they were finished with their processing, and left the scene.
While they were walking out of the Emergency Room entrance they were followed by Sloan and Muck. Sloan was
talking to Cavins about some training issues, and she noticed that Muck was at the back door of the Coroner's
van, which was parked near their location out in front of the E.R. She briefly spoke with Muck at the Coroner's
van, and he asked if the purse had been inventoried. She stated that it had not. She noticed that he was carrying
the brown paper bag containing the purse. She did not see Muck put the purse in the van, but assumed he did
so. At this time she and Cavins left the scene.
I clarified a few things with Cindy Lawley prior to ending the interview. I learned that she and Dawn left the scene
of the accident and drove directly to the hospital. They did not stop for anything en route to the hospital. She
never saw the $100.00 bill again after placing the identification back in the purse. She never specifically looked
for the $100.00 bill, and it was never something she thought about.
She described Sloan's actions as very interactive, and was engaged in the investigation.
I showed Lawley the statement that Stogsdill wrote in regards to the location of the purse in his In-House Incident
Report. Lawley stated that this was not correct and she never took the purse out of the vehicle. She does not
know who did take the purse out of the vehicle.
I asked Lawley while she was on scene at the accident if she saw any money on the ground, or around the
vehicles. She stated that she did not.
I asked Lawley if she took the money in question. She stated that she did not. I advised Lawley that there was a
possibility that polygraph examinations would be completed. Lawley stated that she would gladly complete a
polygraph examination in regards to this incident.
The interview was completed at approximately 0835 hours.
At approximately 0910 hours, I completed an interview with Coroner's Investigator Andrew Muck, once again in
Interview Room 1. Muck agreed to complete the interview. Upon speaking with Muck, I identified myself to him,
and advised him of this investigation. Muck stated that he was the primary investigator for the Coroner's Office in
regards to this incident. Upon speaking with Muck, I learned the following information:

Narrative
On the date and time of this incident he received a page to contact Officer Stogsdill with the Longmont Police
Department. He was advised by Officer Stogsdill that a double fatal had occurred at 17th and Gay, with one
fatality on scene, and the second at Longmont United Hospital. He responded to the scene and arrived
approximately 40 to 45 minutes later.
While traveling to the scene he contacted Officer Shawn Sloan with the University of Colorado Police Department
to respond with him. Sloan is completing a shadowing program with the Coroner's Office. He believed that Sloan
was home when he received the page and responded to his police department and obtained a vehicle and
responded to the scene. He believes that Sloan arrived approximately 40 to 45 minutes after his initial arrival on
scene.
When Muck arrived on scene he contacted Officer Stogsdill and was advised that a decedent was located in the
Saturn Vue. In the other vehicle, a Chevy pickup truck, the victim was ransported to Longmont United Hospital
and pronounced dead at the hospital. He was advised that two children were transported to the hospital who
were traveling in the Saturn Vue. He learned that family members were with the two boys at the hospital and their
condition was good. He did not know if the decedent of the pickup truck's family had been notified, or if she had
been identified.
He began his initial investigation by taking overall pictures, and he met with the CSI officers on scene, Cindy
Lawley and Dawn Cavins. Both Lawley and Cavins followed him, and were taking photographs. He described
Cavins as taking the photographs and Lawley as assisting. Once the photographs were taken, fire trucks were
moved on scene to block the view of the Saturn from bystanders.
The remains were removed from the Saturn Vue. He recalled seeing a purse belonging to the decedent in the
Saturn Vue, located on the front passenger floorboard. It should be noted that when I was speaking with Lawley
she mentioned locating a purse on the front passenger floorboard of the Saturn Vue belonging to the decedent in
this vehicle.
Muck did not go through the black pickup truck on scene due to the fact the decedent had been removed.
Once the remains were removed from the Saturn Vue, Cavins and Lawley left the scene and responded to
Longmont United Hospital. He stayed back at the scene and spoke with Officer Stogsdill in regards to more
specifics of the crash.
He and Sloan left the scene, driving separately. He had possession of the decedent in his van, as well as the
decedent's property in the front passenger side floorboard of the vehicle. The property was in a brown paper bag
marked with a case number, and the name Garcia. They arrived into the E.R. and walked in together. When they
came into the E.R. they observed Cavins and Lawley standing outside of Trauma Room 1, in the accompaniment
of the hospital chaplain. The chaplain advised Muck that the family of the decedent were there at the hospital.
He advised the chaplain he needed to investigate the scene before making contact with the family. He observed
two uniformed officers outside of Trauma Room 1 near the entrance of Trauma Room 2. There was no other
party located in Trauma Room 2. He noticed that the Emergency Room seemed to be somewhat slow.
All four parties entered into Trauma Room 1, to complete an investigation. He and Cavins were completing
photographs of the decedent, working around the body. Lawley and Sloan stayed primarily at the door while the
photographs were being taken. He placed an identification tag on the right ankle of the decedent. He was given
the identification of the decedent by Lawley who had the driver's license information, but not the actual driver's
license at this time.
All the clothing on the decedent was cut off, and he did not recall any jewelry. He did recall a bracelet, which he
described as somewhat beaded, which was located in a white bag at the feet of the decedent. He did not recall a
necklace, and he did not recall collecting a necklace or any other items.
Lawley advised that she had the driver's license of the decedent, and also had the purse of the decedent. She
asked if he wanted to collect these items, which he stated he did. Lawley exited Trauma Room 1, and shortly
thereafter, approximately five minutes later, responded back with a brown paper bag containing a purse. He
remembered collecting the brown paper bag, looking in, and "flipping through" the purse. He did not note
anything of significance. He also did not note anything of value. He described the review of the purse as very

brief.
When I initially spoke with Muck about the driver's license of the decedent, he initially stated that he never saw the
driver's license until the next day. After recalling this event, he then stated that he believed that Cavins or Lawley
had possession of the driver's license and it was clipped onto their paperwork while they were completing the
photos. He was not certain of this.
They placed the decedent into a white body bag, and they were finished with the scene. He described them as all
leaving together, and he and Sloan pushed the decedent out to the Coroner's van. They were walking behind
Lawley and Cavins. He believed that Sloan was carrying the brown paper bag containing the decedent's purse,
while they were both pushing the decedent out.
He spoke with Lawley while he was placing the decedent into the Coroner's van. They spoke about if the purse
had been inventoried. He learned that it had not. At this time Cavins and Lawley left the scene. He placed the
decedent's purse into the front passenger's seat of the vehicle adjacent to the other property belonging to Garcia.
He did not label Woodworth's property at this time due to the fact Garcia's property was labeled and they were in
separate bags.
He spoke with Sloan for approximately 15 to 20 minutes outside the van, and they went over the investigation.
Sloan then left the scene.
I asked Muck if the purse was ever out of his care and control. He stated that once he had control of the purse
and the brown paper bag, he placed the purse on his clipboard near the sink, located in the left front corner of
Trauma Room 1. The purse was never out of his visual control. He never saw anyone go through the brown
paper bag or the purse while it was in Trauma Room 1. Once they left Trauma Room 1, Sloan had possession of
the purse and they exited the E.R.
He never spoke with the family due to the fact they left the hospital before he was finished investigating the scene.
He left the scene and drove directly to Boulder Community Hospital, the morgue, and did not stop en route. He
backed up to the rear loading dock, and called security to meet him due to the fact he had two decedents. The
security officer met him and assisted in transporting the two decedents to the morgue. He left the property of the
decedents in the van. He believed he locked the van, but he was not 100% certain. He did not have an automatic
lock on the van at the time, and he had to lock the van by using the lock button inside the van. He noted that
when he returned back to the van approximately 30 minutes later that the items appeared to be in the same
position that he had left them. He also had left keys, and his wallet on the center console of the van, and these
items were still there.
He left Boulder Community Hospital and drove directly to his office, located at the Boulder County Justice Center.
He took possession of the decedent's property, and walked it into his office. He placed it in the
Property/Medication Room. He stated that this room is secured with a key card access only, and only Coroner's
Office employees have access to this room. He wrote Woodworth's name and case number on the bag, and
placed both Garcia and Woodworth's property in a locker in the room. He stated that the locker was on the right
side approximately three or four steps in the main door, approximately head level. He placed these items in the
locker to be inventoried at a later time. He remained in the office, alone, completing his paperwork and making
telephone calls in regards to this investigation. He believes that he arrived at his office between 1900 and 1930
hours. He left the office at approximately 2200 hours. He confirmed that the Property and Medication door was
securely locked after he left this room.
He returned back to the office approximately at noon on the 24th of September. At this time he noted that Melinda
Rose had completed the inventory of both Garcia and Woodworth's property. She advised that there was
marijuana in Woodworth's purse, and she completed an evidence sheet in regards to the collection of this item.
He believed that he spoke with Rose about the items in Woodworth's purse, and she made a statement to the
effect of "All kinds of shit." He never saw the decedent's items.
He did not see the inventory sheets for the property of the decedent in this case until they were forwarded to him
from Rose, when he and Officer Stogsdill were doing a review of the decedent's vehicle. He never had contact
with the family in regards to the items that were released to them. He spoke about how the items that were

inventoried were sealed, describing them in a clear plastic bag, heat sealed. He believes that Melinda Rose
turned the property over to the family. An autopsy examination was completed, but he was not present during the
autopsy examination.
He described Melinda Rose as his current office partner, and states that he has a good working relationship with
her. I confronted Muck about taking this money. He stated that he did not. I asked if he knew who took the
money. He stated he did not. I asked if he knew who took the money would he tell me. He stated that he would.
He stated that his only mistake in this investigation was that he did not have the purse inventoried prior to
collecting the purse from the Longmont Police Department. He stated that he only went through the purse the one
time, once again describing it as thumbing through it, describing it as really quick, and did not see anything of
value in the purse at the time.
I asked Muck if he would be willing to complete a polygraph examination. He stated that he would. The interview
was concluded at approximately 1010 hours.
At approximately 1015 hours, I completed an interview with Coroner's Investigator Melinda Rose, once again in
Interview Room 1. Rose agreed to complete the interview. I identified myself to Rose and gave her an overview of
this investigation. Upon speaking with Rose, I learned the following information:
On September 23, 2014, she is aware that Coroner's Investigator Andrew Muck had a double fatal accident that
occurred in the City of Longmont. On the morning of September 24, 2014, she arrived into the office at
approximately 7:00 a.m., her normal start time. She checked the follow-up log, which she stated was a computer
document that the investigators check when they came into service to determine what additional follow-up needed
to be completed from the previous night. She noted that Muck had property that needed to be inventoried, in
regards to this investigation.
When she arrived in the morning there was additional staff present, specifically Angel Luehring and Dustin Bueno.
She believes that both of these parties arrived at approximately 0600 hours, their normal start time. She knows
that Angel recently resigned, believing she resigned on either the 6th or the 13th of October. She did not know
why she resigned.
She entered into the property room, to complete the inventories of the items. She was not certain where the items
were kept, stating that they were either kept in the medical cabinet, or one of the storage cabinets, located on the
right side. She believes that she did three separate cases on the morning of the 24th. She spoke about these
cases. She later contacted me and stated that the first case she did was Garcia, the second case was
Woodworth, and third case was a decedent by the name of Scott Ulrich. She recalled that Ulrich had a large
backpack, and did this property last. I later received the inventory and property of personal effects from this
inventory and noted that the currency was listed at $87.00.
She recalled completing Garcia's inventory stating that there were several shards of glass in the bag with Garcia's
property. She placed the bag on the right side of the sink in the processing area of the property room. She also
had out Woodworth's property at this time, which was located on the left side of the sink. They were both clearly
marked. There was no one else in the room with her when she was completing the initial inventory. She believes
that people came in during the course of her inventorying of these items. She believes that Andrew Muck came
in, and possibly other persons. She believes she completed the inventory at approximately 0800 or 0830 hours.
She recalled she sealed Garcia's property prior to beginning the inventory of Woodworth's property.
When she went through Woodworth's property she recalled that there were two prescription bottles that were
crushed, and there were pills and pill fragments on top of items in the purse. It was her opinion based on the
positioning of the pills and pill fragments that the purse had not been gone through. She located contents in a
black checkbook sized wallet, which she describes as trifold with a clasp. In one of the sections she located a
marijuana joint. This was seized and added to Evidence. She located identification, cards, and other information
in the wallet. She was not certain where she located the driver's license for Woodworth, stating only that it was
somewhere within the property.
She described the purse as full, and noted that the wallet was in the middle of the purse. She stated the purse did
not look like it had been spilled or repackaged.

. Her work schedule during the time frame of this incident would have been Sunday
through Wednesday, 0600 to 1600 hours.
I requested he check the key code access to the property room between the dates of the 22nd through the 25th,
one day prior to and one day after this incident. I also requested contact information for Angel Luehring.
I was later contacted by Bueno who advised me that he had checked the work schedule for Angel and learned
that she was on vacation September 23rd through the 25th, with her last day in the office of September 22nd.
She returned back to the office on September 30th. Bueno believed that during this time frame Angel was out of
state in Indiana on vacation.
Bueno also checked in regards to the access card reader for the property room. He learned that there was some
type of panel malfunction on or about September 24th, and there were no access reports available. The only
information logged was the last entrance on the 23rd of 1552 hours, completed by Andrew Muck, and the first
entrance into the room on September 24th at 1705 hours, completed by Melinda Rose. Bueno stated that he
would have security send me a full report in regards to this information.
Bueno also supplied me with a list of Coroner's employees who were in the office on the morning of September
24, 2014. I learned Brandon Dixon was in the office at 0600 hours and worked until 1600 hours. Melinda Rose
was in the office at 0700 hours until 1700 hours. Wendy Kane was in the office from 0700 hours to 1700 hours.
Andrew Muck was in the office in the afternoon, along with Derek Rinaldi. No one should have been in the office
through the course of the night, from September 23rd through September 24th, between the hours of 2200 and
0600 hours. Bueno would check into any callouts during this course of time, but did not believe there were any
callouts on this date.
I contacted Longmont United Hospital Security Staff, and was able to view their surveillance system for
September 23, 2014. I learned that the camera system near Trauma Room 1 in their Emergency Room
Department was located approximately six to seven rooms down from Trauma Room 1. This view did not fully
capture the area around Trauma Room 1. There was an additional camera adjacent to Trauma Room 1 that
captured the hallway away from Trauma Room 1.
I was advised and later viewed a camera outside the Emergency Room Department facing into the parking lot. I
also observed a camera view of the Emergency Room entrance. Upon viewing these cameras, I noted that the
Longmont Evidence van was visible in the parking lot, along with the Coroner's Office vehicle. The Coroner's
Office vehicle was a white pickup truck with a topper shell. This vehicle was confirmed as the Coroner's vehicle
per Bueno. This was the vehicle assigned to Muck on the night of this incident.
At approximately 1833 hours, I observed Cindy Lawley exit the Emergency Room alone, and respond to her
Evidence van. She enters the rear of the van, and obtains two items. One item is placed in the cab of the vehicle,
and the other item is carried into the Emergency Room. Lawley enters back into the Emergency Room at
approximately 1835 hours, with a brown bag in her left hand. The brown bag was not sealed. At 1839 hours, I
observed Andrew Muck and Shawn Sloan exit the Emergency Room, with Muck pushing the remains on a gurney.
Sloan was to Muck's right, and in his right hand he had a brown bag in his hand that appeared to be the same
bag that Lawley had entered with. A few seconds later Cindy Lawley and Dawn Cavins are exiting the Emergency
Room, directly behind Muck and Sloan.
I observe Muck and Sloan to place the remains in the back of the pickup truck. I observe Muck to take
possession of the brown paper bag and place it in the front passenger's side of the vehicle. It should be noted
that the camera view of the parking lot is a rotating view. During the time frame Muck was placing the bag into the
front of his vehicle, the camera panned away, and then returned back to show the Coroner's vehicle. At this time
all the doors in the vehicle were closed, and I did not observe Muck or Sloan near the vehicle at this time.
I requested a DVD copy of the video. At a later time this video will be collected and placed into Evidence.
I drove by Boulder Community Hospital Balsam Campus, rear loading dock, and noted that there was a security
camera in this area. I contacted Boulder Community Hospital Security and am dealing with their legal department
in regards to obtaining the video surveillance for the date and time of this incident.

On the morning of October 22, 2014, I contacted Officer Mike Stogsdill with the Longmont Police Department.
Stogsdill agreed to complete an interview with me.
On October 22, 2014, at approximately 0930 hours, I completed an interview with Mike Stogsdill at the Boulder
County Sheriff's Office Headquarters Building, Investigation Section, Interview Room 1. The interview with
Stogsdill was digitally recorded, and later downloaded to DVD format and placed into Evidence, item number
MJS-7.
Upon speaking with Stogsdill, I introduced myself to him and advised him that this interview was being taped. It
should be noted that I advised all parties I interviewed that the interview was being taped. I supplied Stogsdill with
my business card. Upon speaking with Stogsdill about this incident, I learned the following information:
On the date and time of this incident he heard Dispatch air a head-on collision, at 17th and Gay, with possibly one
fatality. Due the fact he is a traffic reconstructionist, and currently assigned to the traffic unit, he responded to the
scene with his trainee, identified as Nick Hyman. Hyman drove to the scene. While en route to the scene, he
heard Officer Tim Lambert arriving on scene, confirming a Code Black. The second officer on scene was
Sergeant Doug Ross.
They arrived on scene and he observed the accident, west of the intersection of 17th and Gay, in the eastbound
lanes. He described the vehicles as a Saturn Vue and a black pickup truck. There was a decedent located in the
driver's seat of the Saturn Vue. He learned by speaking with Officer Lambert that the driver of the black pickup
was extricated and transported to Longmont United Hospital.
Stogsdill spoke with Sergeant Ross and they made the determination that Stogsdill would run the accident
investigation, while Sergeant Ross was Incident Commander and ran the actual scene itself. Stogsdill described
the scene as emotional, chaotic, and sombering. He stated that it was an extremely difficult scene due to the fact
that it was a double fatality, and two children were involved. He described himself as being extremely busy,
completing multiple phone calls, and radio traffic. He was trying to coordinate the scene, and bring additional
resources to the scene. He contacted members of the traffic unit who were currently off assignment, and
requested they respond. He requested additional fire trucks, and additional resources to the scene.
He requested two officers respond to the hospital, specifically Dawn Koehley and Chris Ford. He had Officer
Gerry Buralli, also assigned to the Traffic Investigation Unit, to take overall photographs of the scene. He
requested Officer Lambert to attempt to identify the decedent in the Saturn Vue to locate next of kin in regards to
the children. He learned that the children had been transported to Longmont United Hospital.
During this time his recruit, Hyman, was primarily with him, assisting him in regards to this investigation. He
recalled Hyman to assist Property and Evidence Technician Dawn Cavins taking photographs, from a ladder truck
that was called to the scene, to complete aerial photographs. This was the only time that he recalled Hyman
being away from him during this investigation. He believes that Hyman completed an inventory for the Saturn Vue.
He requested patrol officers on scene to complete a canvass of the area for any witnesses. He contacted
Property and Evidence, who completes collection of evidence and completes photographs, specifically Dawn
Cavins and Cindy Lawley to respond to the scene.
He described the scene as a two vehicle accident, with several items thrown about the roadway. He described
the items as primarily food stuff, as if one of the drivers had recently gone grocery shopping. He described there
to be oil and fluids on the ground. He observed tools and other items on the ground that were later learned had
come from the pickup truck. He did not see any signs of money, on the ground or in the scene itself. I asked all

persons who had been at the scene if they recalled seeing money at the scene. All stated they did not.
Once property and evidence techs arrived, they began the initial photographing of the scene. During this time
frame he was also completing phone calls and radio traffic, primarily contacting the Coroner in regards to this
investigation. At this time he learned that the other victim that was transported out of the Chevy pickup truck to
Longmont United Hospital had died at the hospital. He knew that it was relevant to attempt to identify this person.
He was not certain how the purse came into his possession, but he initially believed that the purse was removed
from the black pickup truck by Cindy Lawley. He had spoken to Cindy Lawley prior to this interview and learned
that she did not remove the purse. It was his opinion that he or Officer Lambert removed the purse from the
pickup truck, stating again that he was not certain. He specifically did not remember himself removing the purse.
He stated once again at this time he was multitasking, making telephone calls, directing the scene investigation,
and answering radio traffic. He recalled Cindy Lawley standing adjacent to him and asked if she could assist. He
stated that he needed her assistance and requested her to attempt to locate an identification within the purse. He
knows that Lawley obtained an identification from within the purse. He knows that Lawley obtained an
identification from the purse, but he did not necessarily witness this. He took a photograph of the identification
and forwarded it onto officers at the hospital for identification. As soon as this text was completed he was back on
the telephone, and answering telephone calls. Lawley asked what he wanted to do with the purse. He advised
that he wanted the purse taken as evidence. He remembered Lawley took the purse, and walked the purse to the
van, and she collected the purse. I asked if he specifically remembered if Lawley left the purse adjacent to him
and she went to the van and collected a brown bag and brought it back to him and collected the purse, or if she
took the purse to the van. He stated he did not recall, but he knew that the purse went with Lawley in some
manner.
He described the Property and Evidence van to be within the crime scene tape, east of the actual accident.
He spoke about scene security, stating that the scene was secure, but described that there were a lot of
emergency personnel in the scene itself. He believes that there were only two citizens that ever made entry into
the scene, and they were the first two to respond in. They were later identified and interviewed. He believes that
one of the female witnesses was the one that checked on the decedent in the pickup truck.
He recalled the Coroner's Office arrived sometime after the Property and Evidence technicians. He recalled
speaking with Andrew Muck, the Coroner's investigator on scene and giving him an overview of this investigation.
He remembered Muck was with an officer from the University of Colorado Police Department, but did not know
his name. He does not know if he met him, or even introduced himself to him.
He along with fire department personnel, and Andrew Muck, made a plan in regards to the extraction of the
decedent in the Saturn Vue. Fire department vehicles were moved to create a shield in regards to extrication. He
requested tow companies to respond, specifically Northside Towing and Reliable Towing. He was not certain
which tow company towed each vehicle, but states that it should be listed in his report. Both vehicles were towed
after the extrication occurred to 1100 South Sherman, a secured lot held by the Longmont Police Department.
Officer Buralli followed the tow trucks and vehicles to the tow yard to secure them.
He requested Property and Evidence to respond to Longmont United Hospital to take photographs of the
decedent, for evidentiary purposes of his accident reconstruction investigation. He was not certain, but he
believed that Officer Lambert completed the inventory of the black pickup truck. He spoke again with Corner's
Investigator Muck, and shortly after Property and Evidence left the scene, Muck, along with the University of
Colorado Police Officer left the scene. Muck took possession of the decedent from the Saturn Vue.
This was all the information that Stogsdill had in regards to the scene itself. Stogsdill never responded to the
hospital in regards to this investigation. He later spoke with Damon Drake, the common law husband of the
decedent of the black pickup truck, and obtained a consent to search for the vehicle inspection.
Over the weekend, after this incident he was working extra duty at the Oktoberfest in Longmont, and was
contacted by Drake. Drake stated that he was missing money in regards to his wife's property. He also stated
that he was missing his wife's jewelry. Stogsdill advised him that he was not able to deal with this incident at this
time, but would contact him during his work week and research this information.

Narrative
The following week he talked with Drake who stated he still had his wife's items that were returned to him from the
Coroner's Office, in the sealed containers that he received them in. Drake agreed to come into the Police
Department to go over the items. This was completed in the presence of Matt Cage. Photographs were taken
during this review. In going through the property no money was found. Upon speaking with Drake he stated that
he was missing approximately $1,000.00. Stogsdill describes his contacts with Drake over the upcoming days as
being very consistent in regards to the money that was missing. Drake was able to supply him with
documentation in regards to checks cashed and money obtained. This is documented in a previous report.
Stogsdill spoke about the vehicle inspection, and stated that the inspection was completed at the 1100 South
Sherman address. Stogsdill, along with the assistance of Colby Julian, Ryan Smith a mechanic, Cash Johns, a
fleet manager, and Andrew Muck, Coroner's Investigator, completed the vehicle/mechanical inspection. The first
vehicle they inspected was the pickup truck, the second vehicle was the Saturn Vue. Prior to completing this
inspection he had spoken with Drake who stated that he wanted specific items from the vehicle, which Stogsdill
was able to collect. He also learned through speaking with Drake that he received the inventory log from the
Coroner's Office, specifically two pages. He spoke with Muck about this, and learned that there was a third page
that was forwarded onto him, in regards to collection of the jewelry at the autopsy. This information was later
forwarded onto Drake, and Drake was able to obtain the jewelry from the Coroner's Office.
The vehicle was fully inspected, and the interior of the vehicle was completely searched. No money was found.
The vehicle was described as having a bench seat.
I asked Stogsdill his opinion in regards to Damon Drake, and if he believed Damon Drake was being honest in
regards to these accusations. Stogsdill stated that he believed that Drake was being honest, and described him
as "On the up and up." He did not believe that Drake was making these allegations up. He described Drake as
being very consistent in regards to all the statements that he received from him.
Upon speaking with Stogsdill, he stated that he had viewed the photographs of the scene this morning, and noted
that in a few of the photographs the purse was visible in the truck on scene. Stogsdill and I went through the
photographs, and I noted in the photographs supplied to me by the Longmont Police Department, folder number
Traffic 1, photographs number 8826, 8827, and 8828, all photographs taken from outside looking into the cab of
the black pickup. In these photographs there is a very small portion of the purse visible. The primary area of the
purse that is visible is a buckle area. The purse appears to be seated on the center portion of the seat.
Upon speaking with Stogsdill, I asked him if he would be willing to complete a polygraph exam in regards to this
incident. He stated that he would, and stated that he would cooperate in any respect to this investigation. The
interview with Stogsdill was completed at 1100 hours.
On October 22, 2014, I contacted Chris Robb, with County Security in regards to information on card readers
throughout the county buildings. I learned that Robb had spoken with Bueno, and confirmed the information he
had given to Bueno. I learned that Bueno only requested information on access to the property room. I requested
from Robb a full report for any and all doors associated with the Coroner's Office or near the Coroner's Office
entrance or exit for the 23rd through the 24th. I also requested a full report on Angel Luehring, between the dates
of September 22nd and September 30th, the dates that she allegedly was out of the office. I also asked Robb if
he had any thoughts of additional information that might be evidentiary in regards to this investigation to please
obtain this information for me. Robb stated that he would. Robb stated that he would complete this report and
forward it on to me at a later time. I later received this report via email. A copy of this report will be added to this
case file. Upon review of this report I noted that not all Coroners Staff were listed. I advised Rob and he stated he
would look into this and get me an updated or corrected report. Based off all the time logs, nothing additional was
learned. It was confirmed that there was some sort of issue with the card readers during the time frame of this
incident.
On October 22, 2014, the CD copy of the video surveillance from the Longmont United Hospital, depicting the
ambulance bay exit and entrance, and the parking lot, was collected and submitted into Evidence, item MJS-8.
I spoke with Bueno about Rose. Bueno described Rose as being extremely OCD, and due to this she has a
tendency to check everyone else's work. Due to her behavior in the office she is not close with anyone in the
office, and to his knowledge she does not socialize with other employees of the office. He know here to be

somewhat of a "home body", and her life revolves around her sister and her sisters family and children.
I responded to the Longmont Police Department and viewed the unmarked evidence van that was used in this
investigation. I noted it to be a large box truck with rear doors, and side panel compartments. Using the key I
locked and unlocked the back door to the van. I was unable to unlock the rear doors without assistance and
explanation from Dawn Cavins. I inspected the entry door to the rear of the van from the cab area. I noted the
door doesn't lock, but it is almost imposable to open, and jammed several times while I was trying to open it.
I learned there were video cameras in the main entrance area of the Coroner's Office, adjacent to the main
hallway. The video is only held for 30 days. Due to this fact the video is not available.

Case #14-5930
On the morning of October 27, 2014, I contacted Chris Robb with County Security and inquired in regards to the
access card report that I had previously received. Upon reviewing this report, I noted that I did not have an
access event list for Coroner's Investigator Brandon Dixon. Upon speaking with Robb, he advised me that Dixon
was mistakenly identified in the system, and he supplied me with an access event report for Dixon. I noted that on
09/24/2014, Dixon accesses the JC front door, door #JC4. At 07:39:14 Dixon enters door #D8, which is identified
as the south fleet door at the headquarters building. A copy of this report will be added to this case file.
I contacted and spoke with Sergeant Matt Cage, with the Longmont Police Department. I inquired in regards to
the schedules of Officer Tim Lambert, Nicholas Hyman, and Jerry Buralli. I learned that both Buralli and Lambert
were currently working, and Hyman was scheduled to work day shift starting tomorrow. I asked if he would be
willing to schedule interviews for me for the officers, which he agreed. Interviews were scheduled for Tim Lambert
on today's date at 12:00 noon, and Jerry Buralli for 1400 hours at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office
Headquarters Building.
On October 27, 2014, at 12:00 noon, I completed an interview with Tim Lambert at the Boulder County Sheriff's
Office Headquarters Building, Interview Room 1, in the Investigation Section. Upon meeting with Lambert, I
identified myself to him and gave him an overview of this investigation. I asked Lambert if he would be willing to
speak with me in regards to this incident. Lambert agreed. I advised Lambert that the interview would be
recorded, which he stated he understood. I pointed out the camera's placement to him in the interview room. The
interview with Lambert was digitally recorded and later downloaded to DVD format and placed into Evidence, item
#MJS-9.
Upon completing the interview with Lambert, I learned the following information:
On September 23, 2014, he responded to an accident at 17th and Gay. He was somewhere on Hover, or
possibly South Hover, and responded within five minutes to the scene. He was first on scene. Upon arrival he
noted there to be major front end damage to both vehicles. He saw a pickup truck, with the driver's side door
open, and two citizens holding or assisting the driver of this vehicle. He turned his attention to the other vehicle
which he described as an SUV. No one was with this victim. He responded to the vehicle and noted that the
driver was under the steering column and dash area, and believed her to be dead, and recalled agonal breaths.
He observed two children in car seats in the rear of the vehicle, who appeared to be uninjured.

Narrative
He observed the two citizens assisting the driver of the pickup truck to state that this party was still breathing. Fire
department personnel arrived on scene and began treating the injured. He began interviewing witnesses in the
area, and was unable to locate anyone that actually witnessed the event. He refocused his attention back to the
accident scene and his primary role was attempting to identify the decedent of the SUV, and locate relatives to
deal with the children that had been taken to the hospital. Through researching the license plate of the vehicle he
was able to locate a possible address near where this accident occurred. He spoke with one of the officers on
scene and advised him that he would be responding to the address to attempt to locate relatives of the decedent.
He was gone from the scene approximately 10 minutes. Prior to leaving the scene he was contacted by a witness
who stated she had removed a cell phone from a pocket of the decedent of the SUV. She turned the cell phone
over to Lambert. Once he took possession of the cell phone he noted that the cell phone was secured with a key
code, and he was unable to access the phone. He was later re-contacted by the witness who stated that she did
not remove this phone, but it was removed by a male family member of hers. He did not get any additional
information from this person.
After returning back to the scene, he viewed the scene again and noticed that there were several items on the
roadway, specifically grocery items. He did not witness any money and or currency, on the roadway or within the
scene. He described the scene as being secured. He described the weather during the investigation as being a
very nice day, no wind, no rain.
I spoke to Lambert about the purse in question. He stated that he recalled a purse, but never knew how the purse
came into play. It was his assumption that the purse had come from the black pickup truck, but he was not
certain of this. He never touched or handled the purse, and never removed the purse from the black pickup truck.
He recalled seeing someone remove an identification from the purse, which he saw the ID, and noticed the name.
He was not certain of who showed him this identification. He knows during this time that Officer Stogsdill was on
scene, but once again couldn't be certain of who showed him this identification.
He recalled while being at the scene he was contacted by a male party, who he believed identified himself as
Drake, the husband of the driver of the pickup truck. He advised Drake that the driver had been taken to the
hospital and requested he respond to the hospital for further information.
I asked Lambert his primary role during this investigation. He stated that he was on scene for most of the
investigation, and his primary role was trying to identify the drivers of the vehicles. I asked Lambert if he ever
recalled seeing Cindy Lawley in possession of the purse. He stated that he could not recall. Lambert spoke
about recalling a purse, and seeing a purse transferring between Cindy Lawley and the Coroner's investigator on
scene, Andrew Muck. He stated that this purse in question had come out of the SUV, and the transference of the
purse occurred shortly after the decedent was removed from the SUV on scene.
I spoke with Lambert about the evidence technicians and the Coroner's Office leaving the scene. He stated that
they both left the scene, and believed that the property and evidence techs left approximately 10 minutes prior to
the Coroner's investigator leaving the scene.
I spoke with Lambert about the location of the evidence van on the scene. He described the evidence van as
being east of the scene in the roadway, and was used for a period of time to tie down the police tape. He recalled
the evidence van to move slightly out of the scene when the fire department moved their vehicles as a screen
when the decedent was removed from the SUV. He described the evidence van as still remaining within the crime
scene itself. He described the van as being approximately 100 feet from the scene itself. He believed the front of
the van was facing west, towards the scene, and the rear of the vehicle was facing east, towards Gay Street. He
believed the passenger's side of the vehicle was facing north.
He was present when all the vehicles were moved from the scene. I asked if he recalled seeing any cash or
currency on the roadway after the vehicles were moved. He stated that he did not.
I asked Lambert to describe the scene to me. He stated that it was a very busy scene, with several first
responders on scene, to include law enforcement personnel, fire department personnel, and paramedics.
Lambert stated that he has been employed with the Longmont Police Department as a sworn police officer since
2001. His current assignment is traffic, and on the day of this incident he was assigned to the traffic position

working from 0630 hours to 1630 hours.
I asked Lambert if there was anything additional we needed to speak about in regards to this investigation. He
stated that there was not. The interview was concluded at approximately 1230 hours.
On October 27, 2014, at approximately 1350 hours, I interviewed Longmont Police CSO Officer Jerry Buralli.
Prior to completing the interview with Buralli, I received a telephone call from Sergeant Matt Cage. Sergeant
Cage advised me that he advised Buralli of this interview. Buralli agreed to complete the interview, but appeared
to be somewhat nervous. It was Cage's opinion that Buralli just today learned of the allegations in regards to this
investigation.
Prior to completing the interview with Buralli, once again completed in Interview Room 1, I introduced myself to
him and asked him if he had ever been in an incident like this previously. He stated he had not. I advised Buralli
that the door to the interview room was closed for our privacy, but he was free to leave at any time. I asked Buralli
if he would speak with me in regards to this incident, he agreed. The interview with Buralli was digitally recorded
and later downloaded to DVD format, and placed into Evidence, item #MJS-10. Upon speaking with Buralli, I
learned the following information:
On the date and time of this incident, he was at the Longmont Police Department, and was dispatched to an injury
head-on crash located at 17th and Gay. He recalled hearing Officer Lambert arrived on scene a few minutes
after the initial aired call. He recalled Lambert stating that a victim had possible agonal breathing, and possibly
was deceased. A short time after this, Longmont Fire Department arrived on scene, along with Sergeant Doug
Ross. Lambert continued to air that there were children in an SUV, and there was another driver of another
vehicle injured.
He recalled Officer Stogsdill and his trainee to respond from the P.D. as well. He arrived on scene, after Lambert,
Ross, and other perimeter officers. He initially contacted Officer Lambert, and viewed the scene. He described
"taking in the scene." He described the accident scene itself to me. He did not recall seeing any money or any
type of funds on the roadway or within the scene.
Officer Stogsdill arrived shortly after his arrival, and began incident command in regards to the accident
investigation. Officer Stogsdill asked him to assist with the investigation by taking initial photographs. He began
taking initial photographs until property and evidence techs arrived on scene. Once they arrived, they began
taking over the photographing of the scene. Officer Stogsdill tasked him with beginning the laser mapping of the
scene itself. He removed the mapping equipment, which he described as a tripod and other equipment from
Officer Stogsdill's vehicle. His primary focus during this investigation was the laser mapping of the scene.
As he was setting up the initial laser mapping equipment, Officer Julian arrived on scene and assisted him in
regards to mapping of the scene. He walked the scene itself to document and determine what items of evidence
needed to be mapped and documented.
He recalled Officer Stogsdill to be running the scene itself, dealing with other officers and other entities on the
scene. He stated he did not pay much attention to other officers' involvement due to the fact he was focused on
his task at hand, laser mapping the scene. He spoke about debris seen in the roadway, and on the scene,
consistent with a person that had been grocery shopping.
I asked Buralli if he knew about the purse in question. He stated that he did. I asked if he ever saw the purse. He
stated he never did. I asked if he was ever inside the black pickup for any reason. He stated that he was not. I
asked if he did the inventory of the black pickup. He stated he did not. I asked Buralli if he ever saw Cindy
Lawley or Officer Stogsdill with the purse in question. He stated he did not.
I spoke with Buralli in regards to the location of the evidence van on scene. He was consistent with Officer
Lambert's description. I asked if he ever saw anyone enter into the evidence van during the scene. He stated he
did not know, and was not paying direct attention to the van itself. I asked if he observed the evidence van leave.
He stated that he did not. I asked if he observed the Coroner's Office arrive and leave the scene. He stated that
he did, and he recalled this due to the fact that several vehicles had to be moved during the time frame the
Coroner's Office was on scene, and collected the remains. He noted this due to the fact that he had to rearrange
or adjust his laser mapping for the movement of the vehicles. I asked if he recalled anyone with the Coroner's

investigator. He stated he did recall someone, but was not certain who this person was.
Buralli estimates that he was completing the mapping process during this investigation for a period of one to two
hours. He was not certain of the exact time. Buralli was present during the entire investigation, and escorted both
tow companies which towed each vehicle to the impound yard. He stated that he remained behind the tow
vehicles, and escorted them to the police impound yard located at 11 South Sherman Street, Longmont,
Colorado. He never lost visual site of the tow vehicles. He knows that the tow drivers never touched the vehicles
in question, and never entered or went through the vehicles. He was the one that unsecured and secured the lot
when the vehicle was placed in the police impound yard.
He believes that the vehicles were towed at approximately 1830 hours, and this was only an estimate. He
believed this time was approximate due to the fact that his end of watch was at 1900 hours, and he only went late
of watch until 1930 hours. He spoke about the path of travel the tow trucks took to the tow yard as follows:
South on Gay Street to 9th Street. 9th Street west to Hover. Hover south to Nelson. Nelson east to South
Sherman, south on South Sherman to the impound yard.
I asked Buralli if there was anything additional that we needed to speak about in regards to this investigation. He
stated that there was not. The interview with Buralli was completed at 1415 hours.
I contacted Dustin Bueno with the Boulder County Coroner's Office and requested to complete an interview with
Brandon Dixon, Coroner Investigator, that would have been at the Coroner's Office on September 24, 2014, at
approximately 0600 hours. I was advised that Brandon Dixon agreed to complete an interview, and the interview
was scheduled for October 28, 2014, at 0800 hours.
I contacted Colorado Bureau of Investigations, polygrapher Tim Harrelson, and reviewed this case with him.
Harrelson agreed to complete polygraph examinations in regards to the suspects in this case. Polygraph
examinations will be scheduled at a later time.

Narrative
Case #14-5930
On the morning of October 28, 2014, I contacted the Boulder County Coroner's Office and requested to complete
an interview with Brandon Dixon. I was advised that Brandon Dixon agreed to this interview.
I completed an interview with Coroner's Investigator Brandon Dixon at 0800 hours, at the Boulder County Sheriff's
Office Headquarters Building, Interview Room 1, located in the Investigation Section. The interview with Brandon
was digitally recorded and later downloaded to CD format and placed into Evidence, item #MJS-11.
Upon meeting with Dixon, I identified myself to him and supplied him with my business card and case report
number. I asked Dixon if he knew what this was in regards to. Dixon stated that he did know what this was in

regards to, and stated that they had a staffing in regards to this incident at the Coroner's Office. He stated he was
contacted by his supervisor and advised that he needed to complete this interview. I asked Dixon if he wanted to
complete this interview. Dixon appeared to be somewhat hesitant, and stated that he did not necessarily want to
complete this interview but would complete this interview. I advised Dixon that the door to the interview room was
closed for our privacy and that he could end this interview at any time. I asked Dixon if he understood. He stated
that he did. Upon speaking with Dixon I learned the following:
He supplied me with his Daily Field Activity Report (DFAR) for the date of September 24, 2014. Upon speaking
with Dixon about what he did during his work day on the 24th, he referred to his DFAR, to go over the course of
his day. He advised me the following:
He completed a morgue check at approximately 0600 hours, and then responded to the office. He turned on the
office light, checked his email, voicemail, and his mailbox. He reviewed the follow-up log, and completed a death
certificate for a decedent. He dropped off the Coroner's truck to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Headquarters
Building for service. He picked up death certificates at the Department of Health. He made a next of kin call on a
decedent, contacted funeral homes, completed fingerprint verifications, and had a phone call in regards to a
hospice death. He had a phone call to Dustin Bueno, he input information into the computer system in regards to
an investigation, and reviewed pictures for this investigation, the head-on double fatal that happened at 17th and
Gay. He reviewed these photographs due to the fact he was trying to identify the year for the pickup of one of the
decedents. He went to the store with Dustin Bueno in regards to a barbecue later that day.
Dixon stated that he did not necessarily recall the day due to the fact it was almost a month ago. He stated that
his day was somewhat normal due to the fact that he worked at the time Wednesday through Saturday, 0600
hours to 1600 hours, and Wednesday the 24th was his Monday.
I asked who else was in the office during this time. He stated he believes that he was the first one in the office
and does not recall who else was in the office. I asked how he entered the office on the morning of the 24th. He
stated that he entered through the doorway that enters through the vestibule of the Coroner's Office. He
remembered entering and turning on the main light to the office, and went to his office. I asked if he checked the
office or did any rounds in the office. He stated that he did not recall. I asked if he went into the property room.
He stated he did not recall. I asked him again if he went into the property room. He stated that he didn't think he
entered the room, but once again was not certain. He stated that he had no reason to be in the property room
due to the fact that he did not have any pending cases to complete inventory or further follow-up in the room.
I asked if he recalled anyone in the property room during the day of this incident. He stated that he did not. He
stated that he did possibly go into the property room later in the afternoon when he gave money to one of the
families. He recalled this due to his DFAR sheet.
I asked Dixon where his office is within the Coroner's Office. He stated that his office is directly in the main
entrance, first office on the right. He shares the office with Melinda Rose. He described the property room as
being in the very opposite portion of the office, back left portion.
I asked if he believed that Melinda Rose was possibly involved. He stated that he did not have any reason to
believe that anyone in the office would be involved in this incident. It was his opinion that the money was never in
the property, therefore the Coroner's Office would not be responsible for the theft. I advised that based on my
investigation I believed the money was most likely in the possession of the Coroner's Office and stolen sometime
during the time the Coroner's Office had possession of the purse.
Dixon stated that he has been with the Coroner's Office approximately 22 months, and that prior to his
employment with the Coroner's Office he was a private investigator. I asked if he has had any issues with
coworkers or supervisors. He stated that he has not.
I asked Dixon if he had taken the money, or if he knew who took the money. He stated that he did not. I asked
Dixon if he would be willing to complete a polygraph examination in regards to this incident. Dixon stated no. I
asked him why. He stated that he has issues with polygraphs, specifically in regards to accuracy issues. I asked
if he had ever taken a polygraph before. He stated that he had not. I explained to him the process of a polygraph
examination, and my opinion of the reliability and accuracy of a polygraph. I asked Dixon to think about

completing a polygraph examination. Dixon stated that he would not complete a polygraph examination in
regards to this incident.
I asked Dixon if there was anything else we needed to talk about in regards to this investigation. He stated there
was not. The interview was concluded at 0820 hours.
While speaking with Dixon, I noted him to be somewhat nervous, and very short with his answers. During the
interview he never requested the interview to be ended, and answered all the questions I posed to him.
On the morning of October 28, 2014, I contacted Sergeant Matt Cage with the Longmont Police Department in
regards to completing an interview with Nicholas Hyman. Cage contacted Hyman and Hyman responded to the
Boulder County Sheriff's Office Headquarters Building to complete an interview.
On October 28, 2014, at 0900 hours, I completed an interview with Nick Hyman, once again in Interview Room 1,
Investigations Section. This interview was also recorded, and later downloaded to DVD format and placed into
Evidence, item #MJS-12.
Upon speaking with Hyman, I advised him of this investigation. Hyman stated that he was aware of this, and that
Sergeant Cage advised him of this investigation. I asked Hyman if he would be willing to complete the interview,
which he agreed. Upon speaking with Hyman, I supplied him with my business card, including the case number.
Upon speaking with Hyman, I learned the following information:
On the date and time of this incident he was in training with his training officer, Officer Stogsdill. They were at the
Longmont Police Department when the radio call came out. He recalled hearing Officer Lambert arrive on scene
advising that there was a possible Code Black. Due to this fact he and Officer Stogsdill responded to the scene.
He drove, and they arrived on scene traveling from the west to the east on 17th. He parked their vehicle east of
the scene on 17th. When they arrived on scene, he recalled the driver of the SUV to still be in the vehicle, and
was advised that the driver was pronounced dead on the scene. The driver of the black pickup truck had already
been removed from the scene and transported to the hospital. The children in the SUV had also been transported
to the hospital prior to his arrival. His first directive was to secure the scene with police tape, which he did.
When they arrived on scene he recalled Officer Buralli to be on scene, along with Sergeant Hewlett. He recalled
Officer Stogsdill to be talking with everyone, and was dealing with the scene itself. He described Officer Stogsdill
as being the lead in regards to this investigation.
He recalled viewing the scene when he initially arrived, and was placing the tape. He recalled there to be items in
the roadway, specifically items that appeared as if the pickup driver had been grocery shopping. I asked if he
recalled seeing any type of money on the ground, or around the crime scene. He stated that he did not.
He was then tasked to assist in regards to setting up the laser mapping system. Once crime scene technicians,
Dawn Cavins and Cindy Lawley, arrived on scene, he went in the ladder truck with Cavins to assist with aerial
photographs. He did this due to the fact he had never done this process before. He then recalled that he was
looking for the cell phone for the victim of the SUV.
He recalled the Evidence truck arriving, and stated the Evidence truck parked adjacent to his vehicle, east of the
scene. He believed the Evidence truck was facing west, and the rear doors would be facing east towards Gay
Street. He recalled the vehicle did move at one point in time when the fire department trucks moved to create a
screen when they removed the decedent from the SUV.
He did examine the black pickup truck, and recalled looking inside the black pickup truck in the bed of the truck.
He only did a visual inspection of the vehicle and never entered the vehicle.
I asked if he recalled seeing a purse on the seat. He stated he recalled seeing a purse approximately 15 feet
away from the Saturn. He believed that Dawn Cavins was going through the purse, and he did not know where
the purse came from. He believed the purse was a small black purse. I asked if he knew what happened to the
purse. He stated that he did not.
He described the scene as very dynamic, and somewhat chaotic.

Narrative
He stayed at the scene until the vehicles were towed. He never responded to the hospital in regards to this
incident. Once the vehicles were removed, he noted there to be fluid and debris under the vehicle. I asked once
again if he saw any money in this area. He stated he did not.
He spoke about hearing the mention of money while he was on scene. He recalled Officer Lambert to speak with
a male party who he believed was the husband of the decedent in the pickup truck. He believed this party
mentioned to Officer Lambert that his wife might have a large sum of money.
He believes he left the scene at approximately 1800 hours. He did not complete a report in regards to this
incident due to the fact he did not play a primary role in regards to this investigation.
He stated that during the course of this investigation he did assist Officer Lambert in running the plates of the
vehicle, and the VIN numbers of the vehicle that they were able to obtain, trying to identify the owners and victims
in regards to this incident.
I asked if he had learned about this investigation prior to being notified of this interview today. He stated that he
had not learned of this investigation.
I asked Hyman if there was anything additional we need to speak about in regards to this investigation. He stated
there was not. The interview was concluded at 0915 hours.
On October 28, 2014, at approximately 1300 hours, I responded to Boulder Community Hospital Foothills
Campus, and was able to meet with Tracy Allen, the head of security for Boulder Community Hospital. Upon
meeting with Allen, I was able to observe the video that I had previously requested for September 23, 2014,
between 1830 and 2100 hours, the rear loading dock. I was advised that there was only one camera available,
which is an exterior camera looking from the west to the east. Upon viewing this camera and video surveillance, I
noted that the view was limited to the loading dock, the loading dock doors, and only a small portion of the parking
area adjacent to the loading dock was visible.
At approximately 1947 hours, there are shadows apparent in the loading dock, which appear to be coming from
the lights of a vehicle. At approximately 2002 hours, you can see two persons enter and exit the loading dock, the
easternmost door. At approximately 2024 hours, you could see two parties move two gurneys into the far east
door. At no time during this video could you see the vehicle in question. Based on these actions, I assume that
the persons I viewed were the Boulder County Coroner's Investigator Andrew Muck, with the assistance of a
security officer. At this time I was unable to collect a CD copy of the video due to the fact there were having a
technical issue with their recording system. This concluded my contact with Allen.

Case #14-5930
On October 29, 2014, at approximately 0715 hours, I met with CBI Agent/Polygrapher Tim Harrelson at the
Boulder County Sheriff's Office Headquarters Building. Harrelson was scheduled to complete a polygraph
examination on Melinda Rose, scheduled for today, at 0800 hours. Prior to meeting with Harrelson, I supplied him
with this case report, and gave him an overview of this investigation.
I met with Harrelson and we went over the specifics in regards to this investigation. At approximately 0800 hours,
Melinda Rose arrived at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Headquarters Building to complete the polygraph

examination. The polygraph examination was completed in Interview Room 1 of the Investigation Section, and
was digitally recorded, and later downloaded to DVD format and placed into Evidence, item #MJS-13(A&B).
I escorted Rose into Interview Room 1 and introduced her to Agent Harrelson. The interview and subsequent
polygraph examination began at approximately 0805 hours. I observed the interview and examination from our
video surveillance room.
For specifics in regards to the interview and the polygraph examination, please refer to Harrelson's report which at
a later time will be forwarded to me for inclusion in this case file, and the DVD copy of the interview and
examination.
Upon observing the interview and examination, I noted the following:
Harrelson advised Rose of her Miranda Rights, at 0813 hours per the clock on the digital recorder. Rose waived
her rights and was willing to complete the interview and examination. Harrelson asked for an overview of this
investigation, and a history of Rose. The statement Rose gave in regards to this incident was consistent with the
information she gave me previously.
The polygraph examination began at approximately 0930 hours and was completed at approximately 1000 hours.
After the completion of the test, I met with Harrelson in the observation room. Harrelson advised me that it was
his opinion at this time that Rose significantly failed the test. Based off this information, Harrelson requested he
return back into the Interview Room to advise Rose of this information. It was determined that once this
information was given to Rose, I would come into the room to complete an additional interview. At approximately
1010 hours, I gave Rose a bathroom break. She returned back to the room. At approximately 1015 hours,
Harrelson returned back to the room and advised Rose that she had failed the test. Rose's initial reaction was
somewhat flat, and minimal. She stated something to the effect of "I did?" Harrelson confronted her in regards to
these allegations until approximately 1030 hours when I stepped in and took over the interview, and Harrelson left
the room. Upon speaking with Harrelson briefly at the door, he advised me that Rose made mention of an
attorney but was not specific in regards to this statement. I later learned that the attorney statement was just brief,
not specifically asking for an attorney.
Upon speaking with Rose, I asked her to clarify her statement in regards to an attorney and asked her specifically
if she wanted an attorney. She stated that if she was being charged she wanted an attorney. I advised her at this
time that I was not charging her and I just wanted to complete this investigation. I advised her I did not want to
violate her rights and asked her if she wanted an attorney or if she wanted this interview concluded. She stated
that she did not, and I continued questioning Rose.
I advised her that based on my training and experience with polygraph examinations I know that the examinations
are very reliable. Based on this information, I advised Rose that I did not believe she was being truthful in regards
to this investigation. Rose became emotional, and was crying. She stated that she did not take the money in
question. My interaction with Rose lasted until approximately 1045 hours. During this time frame, Rose
adamantly denied any involvement in this investigation. She stated something to the effect that she was raised
better than this, stating that she is a daughter of a cop. I repeatedly advised her that based on the information
learned through the course of this investigation, along with her failing the polygraph examination, I believe she did
commit this crime. At approximately 1045 hours, Rose asked if she was free to leave and stated she wanted this
to end. At 1045 hours, I escorted her out of the room, and the interview was concluded, escorting her out of the
building. I noted that Rose was emotionally upset, and crying. Due to this fact, I did not walk her through the
main portion of the Sheriff's Office, but walked her down the rear steps where she was not visible by any other
staff members.
I received from Agent Harrelson a copy of Colorado Department of Public Safety, Colorado Bureau of
Investigations Statement of Consent and Polygraph Examination Form completed by Rose, along with a Colorado
Bureau of Investigation Advisement of Rights Form, once again completed and signed by Melinda Rose. Copies
of these documents will be added to this case file. It should be noted that when I collected these documents the
CBI case file number was not on the documents due to the fact that I did not yet receive this case report number.
Harrelson stated at a later time he would supply me with a copy of this case report number, along with his full case
report in regards to his involvement in this investigation. I also went over the facts of this case with Harrelson,

and his opinion in regards to the polygraph examination. Harrelson stated that it was his opinion that the
polygraph examination was a valid examination and that Rose significantly failed this examination. Harrelson
explained that Rose failed only n the questions in regards to taking the money. Rose did not fail on the other
non-related questions.
After meeting with Harrelson, I contacted Dustin Bueno with the Boulder County Coroner's Office and requested a
meeting with him. A short time later I met with Dustin Bueno at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Headquarters
Building, in the presence of Sergeant Brian Lindsey. We gave Bueno an overview of this investigation, and the
information learned. Bueno stated that he had spoken with Rose and she was very upset, and advised him that
she had failed the polygraph examination. She made a statement to him something to the effect of "I have ruined
everything." She stated this repeatedly. He also noted when he was speaking with her that she was chain
smoking. Based on this information, Bueno relieved her of her duties as of today, October 29, 2014.
Bueno stated that he needed to speak to the Boulder County Coroner, Emma Hall, in regards to this information,
and further investigation. This concluded our contact with Bueno.
On October 29, 2014, I contacted Dawn Cavins, Evidence Tech with the Longmont Police Department, by
telephone. Upon speaking with Dawn, I asked if she had time to speak with me, and she stated she did. I asked
Dawn a few questions in regards to her involvement in this case, and learned the following information:
I asked if she had any contact with the purse belonging to Woodworth. She stated that she did not. She stated
that she only saw the purse once, and this was at the Longmont United Hospital E.R., Trauma Room 1, when
Cindy Lawley brought the purse into Trauma Room 1 in a brown paper bag. She never specifically saw the purse,
but only saw the purse in the bag. During the time frame the purse was brought into the trauma room she was
taking photographs of the decedent. She recalled she took a photograph of the identification removed from the
purse, but did not see the purse, or take a photograph of the purse.
I asked if she saw the Coroner's Investigator Andrew Muck go through the purse in the trauma room. She stated
that she did not. She stated she recalled the purse to be in the brown paper bag in the trauma room and that it
was on the table in the front left corner of the trauma room. She stated she was not certain of this, but this was
her opinion of where she recalled seeing the purse in the bag.
I asked if she was present when Cindy Lawley went through the purse on scene. She stated that she was not and
believed that she was taking photographs at this time.
I asked if she went through any purse on scene. She stated that she did, and that she and Lawley went through
Garcia's purse which was found in the front passenger floorboard of the SUV. She stated that Officer Hyman was
near their location but was not certain if he was present when they were going through the purse.
This was all the information that Dawn had for me.
On November 3, 2014, I contacted and spoke with Brandon Dixon, by telephone, and asked him again if he would
be willing to complete a polygraph. I also asked Dixon if he was aware of Rose taking the polygraph. Dixon stated
he was advised that Rose took and failed the polygraph. Dixon stated he would not be willing to complete the
polygraph and that he had given me all the information he had in regard to this investigation. I explained to Dixon
that by taking the polygraph it could possibly exclude him from this investigation. Dixon stated that he was not
taking the polygraph for "principle", stating that he would not compromise his principle to assist with this
investigation.
I explained to Dixon my opinion in regards to taking a polygraph and explained to him that by being a law
enforcement officer I am required to complete a polygraph if requested to do so by my commanders. I asked
Dixon if he would take a polygraph if the Coroner's Office ordered him to do so. He stated he would not and that if
the Coroner's Office was to force him to complete a polygraph he would rather quit, then to work for an employer
who would demand a polygraph.
After several minutes speaking with Dixon it was very clear that he would not cooperate further with this
investigation and my contact with him was concluded.

Narrative
On November 3, 2014, I contacted and spoke with Andrew Muck, by telephone and asked Muck if he was still
willing to complete a polygraph and if he had learned about Rose taking the polygraph. Muck stated he had been
advised that Rose had taken and failed the polygraph. Muck stated he was not willing to complete the polygraph,
stating that he would not take the polygraph on "principle". I asked what he meant by this statement, and I was
surprised that Muck made this statement, the same verbiage and statement made by Dixon. Muck stated that he
was very upset about how I questioned him and he felt as if he was being accused. He also stated that he had
worked years to build a strong reputation as an investigator with the coroner's Office and this investigation has
ruined his reputation. I asked why he thought his reputation was ruined. He stated because he has heard other
agencies speak about these allegation when he is on scenes. Muck stated he felt that the Coroner's Office was
being accused and it was his opinion that the money was never in the purse. I explained to Muck that the
Longmont Police was also being questioned, and that I felt the money had been under the control of the Coroner's
Office when it was taken. I advised Muck that only a few people in the Sheriff's Office know the facts of this
investigation and that I had not released any of this information to the Longmont Police Department or any other
agency.
I explained to Muck my opinion of taking a polygraph in the same manner as I did with Dixon, and advised him
that taking the polygraph could exclude him from this investigation. Muck stated that he had spoken with his
family, several are past or current law enforcement and they advised him not to complete the polygraph. I spent
several minutes talking with Muck about completing the polygraph and explaining to him the process. At the end
of the conversation Muck stated he would think about completing the polygraph and would get back to me in a day
or two with his decision. This concluded my contact with Muck.
On November 3, 2014, I contacted and spoke with CBI Agent Harrelson in regards to the examination with Rose.
Harrelson stated that he had another polygrapher review and grade the polygraph completed by Rose. The other
polygrapher agreed with his findings and stated that Rose significantly failed this exam. Harrelson stated he
reviewed his notes, the examination and recalled the facts of the examination and investigation, and stated he felt
confident that Rose failed this exam significantly and that she was the person who took the money.

Narrative
Case #14-5930
On November 5, 2014, I contacted and spoke with Officer Tim Lambert of the Longmont Police Department. I
contacted Lambert with follow-up questions in regards to this investigation. I asked Officer Lambert if he was the
person that impounded and completed an inventory of the decedent's vehicle, specifically the black pickup truck.
Lambert stated that he was not certain and asked if he could check the impound form. Lambert checked the
impound form and stated that he did complete the impound form, but he did not inventory the vehicle. He stated
that it is the policy of the Longmont Police Department not to complete an inventory on a vehicle that was involved
in a fatal accident. This is due to the fact that the vehicle would be impounded to the Longmont secured yard,
and an inventory would be completed when the vehicle inspection was completed. Lambert believes that Officer
Hyman completed the impound form for the SUV vehicle in regards to this incident.
I asked Lambert during his time on the incident was he contacted by the husband of the decedent, Drake. He
stated that he was, and he recalled Drake to walk up to him from the east, coming through the secured tape. He
made contact with Drake and asked him what he needed. Drake stated that the black pickup truck was his and
asked about his wife. Lambert had already been advised that the driver of the black pickup truck had been
pronounced deceased, but he did not notify Drake of this information at this time. He requested Drake respond to
the Longmont United Hospital to contact staff there.
I asked Lambert if Drake ever gave him any information in regards to his wife possibly having a large sum of
money on her. Lambert stated that Drake never gave him this information and he did not learn that the decedent
in this case had a large sum of money on her until approximately a week later. He stated he learned this
information through "rumors."
This was all the information Lambert had for me and this concluded my contact with him.
On November 5, 2014, at 0953 hours, I received a voicemail message on my desk phone from Melinda Rose.
Rose began the message by stating she wasn't certain why she was calling. She then stated that she owed me
an apology due to the fact that when I interviewed her she was rude, abrasive, and disrespected me. She stated
that she was surprised that she failed the polygraph and reacted to this failure badly. She stated that if there was
anything she could do to help with this investigation she would gladly do so. She stated that she did not take the
money in question, and that when she came in contact with the purse there was no money in it. She once again
stated that she would cooperate with this investigation and supplied me with her home cell number of
. She stated I could call her at any time.
The phone message lasted approximately two minutes. I made a CD copy of this phone message and placed it
into Evidence, item #MJS-14.
I contacted Tim Harrelson with CBI, to schedule polygraph examinations for Cindy Lawley, Michael Stogsdill, and
Shawn Sloan. Harrelson advised me he was available next Wednesday, November 12, 2014.
I contacted Cindy Lawley in regards to this polygraph examination. Lawley stated that she was available next
week and would cooperate with the polygraph examination. I learned that Stogsdill was currently out of the office
and was not returning until the 12th. I made contact with Sloan who requested that this polygraph request be sent
to him in written form, advising him that this was in regards to a criminal investigation. I completed a written form
on Boulder County Sheriff's Office letterhead advising Sloan that I was requesting him to complete a polygraph
examination in regards to a criminal investigation. A copy of this form was forwarded on to Sloan, and his direct
sergeant. On November 7, 2014, I received an email from Attorney Daniel Schaefer, with the Law Office of Daniel
Schaefer, 14650 Benton St, Broomfield, Colorado, 80020, 720-206-7894. Schaefer responded to the polygraph
request stating that his client, Sloan would not give any further statements and would not complete a polygraph
examination. A copy of the response will be added to this case file.
I was able to reach Officer Stogsdill and he was willing to complete a polygraph examination and I scheduled the
polygraph for November 12, 2014, at 1300 hours and Lawley is scheduled for November 12, 2014, at 0800.
Lawley was advised of this date and time.
I contacted the Colorado Department of Labor and requested employment information for Melinda Rose, Brandon

Dixon, and Andrew Muck. At a later time I will complete follow up in regards to their previous employers.
On November 5, 2014, I received a telephone call from Andrew Muck. Muck stated that he had thought about the
polygraph examination and has determined that he would not complete a polygraph examination in regards to this
investigation.
On November 6, 2014, I contacted and spoke with Angel Luehring, a previous employee with the Boulder County
Coroner's Office. Upon speaking with Angel, I identified myself to her and asked if she was aware of this
investigation. She stated was aware of this investigation, and that Melinda Rose had completed a polygraph and
failed. Angel stated that she knew about the allegations due to the fact she was employed with the Coroner's
Office during the time frame of when the theft occurred. She stated that she was not present during this time
frame and that she was on vacation from September 23rd through September 30th. Angel recalled that she had
contact with one of the family members, she was not certain who. This person questioned her about not receiving
the money that had been with the decedent. She stated that this was a phone call contact and she did not know
the specifics of this investigation and reviewed the notes in regards to the report. She learned that the primary
investigator was listed as Andrew Muck. She advised the party on the phone to contact Muck in regards to the
missing property. She believed this phone call occurred sometime after the 30th of September.
Angel stated that she heard additional information in regards to this investigation since she left her employment.
She stated that she learned this information from a friend of hers who she was reluctant to identify, later
identifying as Wendy Kane.
Angel was employed with the Boulder County Coroner's Office from January 9, 2012 through October 6, 2014.
During this time frame she was office partners with Melinda Rose.
I asked Angel if she had any issues with Rose. She stated that she did not. She described her relationship with
Rose as professional, and they did not have a relationship outside the office. She described Rose as being "all
business," a type A personality, somewhat OCD. She described her as not outgoing, and their personalities
somewhat clashed. She described Rose as being bossy, controlling, and would delegate work.
I asked Angel if she had any items missing while she was employed with the Coroner's Office. She stated that
she did not. I advised Angel that Melinda had spoken about missing money while she was employed with the
Coroner's Office. Angel stated that she was aware of this and believes that Melinda made a statement in one of
their briefings to the fact that she had lost money, stating something to the effect that maybe her dog took it.
Melinda never made mention of the theft possibly occurring in the office.
I asked Angel if she had any issues with Brandon or Andrew, or any other employees in the office. She stated
that she did not, but she did have a stressful working relationship with Dustin Bueno, her supervisor. She spoke
about her relationship with Bueno, stating that Bueno never treated her with dignity, and when she quit her
employment with the Coroner's Office she dropped off her property on Sunday evening, so not to have any
contact with Bueno.
Angel described her relationship with Boulder County Coroner Emma Hall as fairly good. She has only seen
Emma Hall one time since she resigned. She described her and Hall having several things in common and due to
this reason they do talk on occasion. She described Emma Hall as being somewhat difficult to work for and
somewhat intimidating.
She spoke about her work schedule with Melinda Rose, stating Rose came in an hour after she came in to work.
She described Rose as normally coming into work early, and she would normally take care of her reports, and
then review the follow-up log. If there was follow-up that needed to be done she would normally take care of it,
and do the follow-up to include inventories without any direction or request. Angel stated that they normally would
have a briefing in the morning to determine what needed to be done for the day. She described Rose as
sometimes attending briefing and sometimes not, going directly into work she had scheduled for the day. I asked
Angel if it was unusual for Rose to inventory property belonging to another investigator. She stated that it was not
unusual and she would do this on several occasions. Angel described Rose as a "work horse."
I asked Angel if she recalled any medications ever being missing while she was employed with the Coroner's

Narrative
recognize that I have cooperated fully with you, including showing up for the polygraph, and have done so
because I have nothing to hide. Until Monday I, myself, was skeptical whether there was ever any amount of
money over what I inventoried in the property present. However, based on your information about the
investigation and based on that your belief that there was in fact monetary funds present I am forced to believe
that there was and to be honest this infuriates me. Coupled with the realization that my own missing money could
have been taken by a staff member at the Coroner's Office and that this person is still going to work every day
while I sit and home infuriates and saddens me. I am forced to worry whether other families are being victimized
and if other families have been in the past. I hate having those thoughts and feelings, but it disgusts me to think
that someone is working in the field for any other reason that to help the families during the most difficult time of
their life. I do appreciate you being honest with my and allowing me a chance to discuss this case with you on
various occasions and implore that you would let me know if there is any other assistance that I can offer. We
also discussed whether I had any knowledge of anyone in the office committing a theft and I still do not have any
personal knowledge to offer, but can offer my observations and personal opinion: I have discussed this case and
investigation briefly with Andrew and believe that he has been sincere in his denial of any involvement; however
the discussion was brief and only after the initial interview. At that time he stated that he had reservations about
a polygraph because of how "mad" he was over the allegation that he could have taken the money. I discussed
with him that it would be in his best interest to do the polygraph and that they weren't that intimidating if you are
telling the truth (hindsight being 20/20 here as clearly me telling the truth went very poorly in my situation). That
was the last of my contact with him on the case. As for Brandon, I have not discussed the case with him really at
all, other than him telling me that he had refused the polygraph after he met with you in October. Thinking back
on when I was discussing the plight of my missing money with the other investigators in August I recall him being
the only one not joking about the situation and instead seemed to be somewhat withdrawn and possibly
uncomfortable with the topic. Again, I cannot say for certain that someone I call a colleague stole my money, but
considering the current investigation into Ms. Woodworth's money it certainly makes me suspicious of the
possibility. I hope that this hasn't been as long winded as it seems, I just needed to get these thoughts down "on
paper" and out of my head.
A copy of this email will be added to this case file.

On December 15, 2014, I received a call from Sara Woodworth, the decedent's daughter. She stated she had
been going through Damon Drakes emails and located an email chain between Damon and the person he was
planning on buying the Suburban from. Sara stated she would forward me the email chain.
I advised Sara that this investigation is almost completed and at some point after the New Year I would like to
meet with her, Damon and any other family members she would like me too meet with and go over this
investigation. Sara stated she could arrange this meeting at that time. This concluded my contact with Sara.
I received the email from Sara later in the day on December 15, 2014. Upon review I noted there were 2 emails
between Damon and a person identified only as Cameron. The first email was dated September 19, 2014, from
Damon to Cameron asking about purchasing the vehicle. The second email is a response from Cameron to
Damon dated September 21, 2014. In this email Cameron asks about setting up a time to show the vehicle, and
states that he can call or email him. No telephone number is listed in the email. These were the only 2 emails
attached. Copies of the emails will be added to this case file.

Case Report 14-5930
During the week of January 5, 2015, I was advised by the Boulder County Coroner's Office that Brandon Dixon
and Melinda Rose had completed a polygraph examination and both passed the exam. Andrew Muck did not
complete a polygraph due to a medical issue. I was not given any specifics in regards to the polygraph
examinations.
On January 20, 2015, I was contacted by the CU Police Department and advised that an internal affairs
investigation had been opened in regards to Officer Shawn Sloan and his involvement into this investigation. I was
advised that Sloan had been interviewed and at this time he was not willing to complete a polygraph examination.
No further information was given to me reference the CU investigation.
During the week of January 19, 2015, I received via USPS mail the Colorado Bureau of Investigations (CBI)
polygraph report completed by Agent Tim Harrelson. Included in the report was a CD copy of all the audio
recordings of the three polygraphs, and a full report completed by Harrelson. A copy of the report was added to
this case file and the CD was submitted to evidence item MJS-18.
I reviewed the report and learned the following:
Melinda Rose, examiner's opinion was that Rose was deceptive when answering the relevant questions.
Cindy Lawley, examiner's opinion was that Lawley was not deceptive when answering the relevant questions.
Mike Stogsdill, examiner's opinion was that Stogsdill was not deceptive when answering the relevant questions.
On January 20, 2015, I contacted and spoke with Sara Woodworth, the daughter of Therese Woodworth. I

unable to establish probably cause for an arrest in this case. Just prior to this meeting the meeting was cancelled.
On January 27, 2015, I was advised to re-schedule the meeting with the family. After calling and leaving a
message for Sara Woodworth I received a call from Jessica Taylor, the other daughter of the victim. Jessica
stated she would be scheduling the meeting for the family and wanted to meet tomorrow at 11am. The meeting
was set for January 28, 2015, at 11am at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Headquarters Building. Jessica
resides in Breckenridge and would be in town for the meeting.
I previously was advised that the Coroner's Office wanted to meet with the family sometime after my meeting with
them. While speaking with Jessica I asked if she and her family would be willing to meet the Coroner after our
meeting. She agreed. I set up a meeting with the victim's family and the Coroner's Officer for 1pm, on January 28,
2015. This meeting date and time was confirmed by Chief Coroner's Deputy Dustin Bueno.

Narrative
Case Report 14-5930
On January 28, 2015, at approximately 1100 hours I met with Damon Drake, Jessica Taylor and Sara Woolworths
husband. Sara was working and unable to attend the meeting but Drake had Sara on speaker phone during the
meeting. The meeting lasted approximately one hour.
I advised the family of this investigation and that an arrest had not been made. I went over the investigation with
them and explained to them that the report was going to be inactive after this meeting pending any new
information or leads.
I advised the family that the Coroner's Office wanted to meet with them at 1300 hours. They stated they were
willing to meet with the Coroner's Office.
I explained to the family that a press release would be released from the Sheriff's Office tomorrow morning,
reference to this investigation. I advised the family that the press might be contacting them, and that it was up to
them if they wanted to speak with the press. I advised them that the Sheriff's Office would not make a
recommendation in regards to them speaking with or not speaking with the press.
I supplied the family with contact information for the University of Colorado Police Department in case they had
question for them.
I answered all the questions the family had and supplied them with a copy of the case report that I obtained
through records, per a records requested completed by Drake.
I supplied them with my business card and advised them to contact me with any additional questions or concerns.
This completes my involvement in this case.
Recommended case status: Inactive
