My good friend Trevor gave me a kick in the butt, so it really is time I post another entry.
Unfortunately, I have been not writing because there hasn’t been much to write about. I’m still waiting to get clearance from the AUSA about the prosecutor, and the FBI agent won’t committ to an interview unless the prosecutor gets approval. I received an email from the PIO yesterday saying things were looking good, but that he expected to be in touch with me today. I heard nothing. I HAVE to hear from him tomorrow or my boss will freak out. She’s already very nervous because they don’t have another backup show if this one falls through.
However, I did score a huge victory today by getting the mistress of our perp to agree to an interview. She’s a huge part of the story, so she was really necessary. Det. Paul W made the initial contact for me – always a plus when they hear from someone trusted first – and she called me this morning. After talking to her from a bit and assuaging some of her fears, she agreed to do the show. Major victory, but I still need about 5 more interviews to make this show work. And I’m tentatively supposed to fly to D.C. a week from Sunday – on 2/20.
I’m also still missing some major details about the case. I need to see some police reports and trial transcripts, to know certain details about the case. Right now, my list of what I don’t know about this case is longer than my list of what I do know.
By the end of Friday, I need to have trial transcripts ordered, agreement from the FBI & US Attorney’s office to participate in the show, names of other individuals to interview, and their contact info. I also need a breakdown of key players’ role and their relationship to the other people in the case (husband, wife, mistress, ex-wife, mother, cop, witness, bystander, etc…)
