Planted evidence? A possibility when it comes to APD! Just look at my case in 1997! DUI...the first officer on the scene (male/caucasian) configured the sketches of the accident in such a way as to make me the one at fault... The good thing is that I took out a police report immediately...reviewed them and discovered the ''error''... So, I went to the junkyard where both vehicles in question were parked...and took photos of both of them. These photos totally ruined the officer''s testimony in my case...the judge threw it out...and acquitted me of the charges. Justice only prevailed in my case because of my photos... As for the corrupt police officer that ''intentionally'' misdrew the configurations? Who knows...but hopefully...Karma set him straight!

Albuquerque may not be the ONLY place where Police may plant evidence to implicate someone, but it is probably the ONLY place where Police Officers that do that sort of thing get promoted, and ultimately selected as police chief. Case in point? Van Bering Robinson vs. Maruffi, Polisar et al, US District Court Case CIV 84-1216M, Memorandum Opinion and Order dated 13 January 1986. If you even look briefly at the history of the Albuquerque Police Department it would not surprise you. From the case cited above, to the USA TODAY story "Auditors Fault Albuquerque Police", April 11, 2005, The Nation Section, where fraud was committed in order to wrongly obtain and misspend federal grants, it''s all in a day''s business. Corruption is a way of life here. For more information, the Albuquerque Publishing Company''s Archives at 7777 Jefferson NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109, can be consulted, or for a brief capsule analysis go to: http://albuquerquenazis.blogspot.com Thank you for the story, and thank you for giving the USA a brief glimpse at this largely rogue department.

I think from above comments, there have been more than one (aside from the terrible ones reported on tv) serious screw-ups in installing 911.

No idea about the 9mm rueger, but would like to back up Renee on a statement that she made about contacting the police at the beginning of the piece. I have no idea how the 911 situation is in NM, as I live in NH. I do know that I keep the mutual aid number in my book, as a call to 911 ended up with being transfered to mutual aid, which then calls the local department. Happily, in this case it was a fire in an empty house, not a murder, and the house managed to survive. The investigation you need to do is 911, and in this case, police investigations. Would love to see a show or even series on eitherof these!

I just Watched the show and I wonder has anyone check out the backgrounds on the police who found the bullet
casing did someone plant it there to cover their tracks or to close the case?

When showing the photos of the bag where the shell casing was found you can clearly see the shell casing under a couple of pens in a previous photo. The moderator states that the casing is not visible except for in the last photo but on a high-def monitor it''s there, clear as day. Did they dummy up the images to bolster their story?

One issue the story brought up that pointed at the daughter''s guilt I think was inaccurate. The said that it was suspicious she would call a secondary emergency number other than 911 directly from a cell phone. Depending where you live your cell phone 911 call will not go directly to your closest 911 center. If you call 911 they will have to transfer you to your local 911 center, and while they are fast, this can still cause a delay. I have experienced this myself, fortunately not on a life threatening issue, but it still happens.
