* * * * *

MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT

  1. Plaintiff is a reporter, journalist, author, and publisher.
  1. In July, 2014, Plaintiff filed this Deprivation of Rights action against law enforcement officers and public officials that targeted Plaintiff’s Constitutional rights.
  1. Plaintiff became the target of Defendant(s) beginning in 2009, after Plaintiff began conducting interviews regarding the national profile cases of the kidnapped child HaLeigh Ann-Marie Cummings, and slain toddler Caylee Marie Anthony.
  1. In December, 2012, Defendant City seized Plaintiff’s hard-drive, which contained his entire work product on the aforementioned cases; took the hard-drive to an unknown location; secretly searched it without an applicable warrant; and then permanently disabled the hard-drive before returning it.
  1. Defendant John Doe also damaged Plaintiff’s computer processor whereby he/she un-hooked wires and caused internal plastic clips to snap.
  1. The malicious and illegal actions taken against Plaintiff by Defendants, which afforded them access to Plaintiff’s computer and hard-drive, were executed under the pretext of a fraudulent divorce court scheme that Plaintiff was a perpetrator of ‘domestic violence’ against an REDACTED from Florida named REDACTED REDACTED (whom he had never met).

NEW INFORMATION AND EVIDENCE OF A CRIME

  1. In November, 2014, Plaintiff discovered new information contained in audio interviews Plaintiff conducted with kidnapping suspects between 2009 and 2012. The audio interviews were the same interviews contained on the hard-drive seized by Defendants.
  1. Plaintiff located the interviews in November of 2014 by using an old computer processor that was given to Plaintiff by his parents. Plaintiff obtained the old computer processor while visiting Southern Minnesota for a wedding in September, 2014, and brought the old processor back to Northern Minnesota.
  1. The acquisition of the old processor was not planned, rather, a spontaneous offer by Plaintiff’s father.
  1. After returning to Northern Minnesota, Plaintiff searched two old hard-drives but did not locate the sought files. On November 16, 2014, while again sifting through files on a hard-drive, Plaintiff happened upon the ‘mother’ file of his HaLeigh Cummings/Caylee Anthony project, which was buried deep in the drive.
  1. Plaintiff then began reviewing hours of audio interviews.
  1. Plaintiff needs several months to effectively review all the audio interviews that may potentially have a bearing on this case.
  1. As is set forth in Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint, Plaintiff conducted hundreds of hours of recorded interviews with key figures in the national profile cases, which included family members, suspects, persons of interest, law enforcement officers, attorneys, advocates, and witnesses.
  1. Plaintiff also obtained highly sensitive information in the form of emails and other recordings. Some of the recordings were mailed to Plaintiff that captured various suspects committing felonies (including REDACTED REDACTED).
  1. Plaintiff obtained information regarding a (1) murder (2) kidnapping (3) drug trafficking, (4) child pornography (5) international human trafficking operation (6) fraud (7) money laundering (8) public corruption (9) police corruption.
  1. REDACTED REDACTED, an REDACTED from REDACTED, Florida, was involved in all of the aforementioned criminal activity.
  1. REDACTED REDACTED admitted to Plaintiff during an interview that REDACTED and a staff member were suspects of law enforcement in transporting the missing child HaLeigh Cummings across state lines.
  1. In November, 2014, Plaintiff discovered information, that demonstrates Plaintiff’s hard-drive, which was seized, searched, and destroyed by Defendants, contains e-mail evidence that implicates REDACTED REDACTED for REDACTED criminal involvement regarding the:

o  Kidnapping of HaLeigh Ann-Marie Cummings

o  Cover-up of the murder of Caylee Marie Anthony

o  Felony false imprisonment of Daniel Everett Snodgrass

o  REDACTED Misconduct

  1. On November 16, 2014, Plaintiff listened to an interview conducted in 2010 with Wayanne Kruger. During the interview, Wayanne Kruger and Plaintiff discussed the contents of an e-mail thread dated March 23, 2009 that Kruger had forwarded to Plaintiff. Both Kruger and Plaintiff have the e-mail up in front of them on their computer monitors as they discuss the contents.
  1. The contents of the e-mail, in sum and substance, is the smoking gun that REDACTED REDACTED sought to keep hidden.

THE SECRET TRUTH ABOUT REDACTED REDACTED

EVIDENCE OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY DESTROYED BY DEFENDANT CITY

  1. The newly discovered evidence of an e-mail reveals the previously unknown fact that in March of 2009, REDACTED REDACTED was the REDACTED for William Eugene Staubs, Case Closed Inc.
  1. William Staubs (a.k.a. Cobra) is a bail bondsman and licensed private investigator from Broward County, Florida. In 2009, William (Cobra) Staubs interjected himself into the HaLeigh Cummings kidnapping investigation and performed a high-media ‘search’ for the missing child.

23.  In sum and substance, REDACTED REDACTED, a REDACTED, was using REDACTED REDACTED license and status as an REDACTED, to act as an ‘agent’ and/or ‘operative’ in a criminal operation involving the kidnapping of one child, to cover-up the murder of another child.

  1. William Staubs originally claimed he was the private investigator working for Crystal Sheffield, HaLeigh’s Cummings’ mother.
  1. In March of 2009, REDACTED REDACTED became the REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED Crystal Sheffield. REDACTED appeared on national television in this capacity. REDACTED claimed to have a team of investigators working for REDACTED.
  1. REDACTED REDACTED was strategically brought into the HaLeigh Cummings case by William Staubs (to officially REDACTED Staubs’ PI client Crystal Sheffield).
  1. William Staubs told Plaintiff he brought REDACTED REDACTED into the case so he would have REDACTED subpoena power over any witness he wanted to lean on.
  1. REDACTED REDACTED told Plaintiff REDACTED was privy to sensitive investigative information regarding the kidnapped child because REDACTED was the REDACTED for the missing child’s mother. REDACTED told Plaintiff REDACTED was “coordinating leads” with “Captain Dominic Piscitello” and “Detective Peggy Cone” at the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.
  1. The newly discovered proof of an email reveals REDACTED REDACTED was REDACTED BOTH William Staubs and Crystal Sheffield at the same time (but keeping the William Staubs REDACTED/REDACTED relationship secret).
  1. The newly discovered proof of an email reveals that while REDACTED REDACTED was openly, publicly, and officially acting as the REDACTED for Crystal Sheffield, REDACTED (REDACTED REDACTED) was receiving REDACTED instruction and directives from REDACTED CLIENT/CO-CONSPIRATOR William Staubs.
  1. In May of 2009 William Staubs was arrested by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office on charges of felony false imprisonment stemming from illegal actions he took.
  1. The newly discovered information shows William Staubs acted under REDACTED direction and criminal conspiracy with REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED.
