EZ The Molester
I didn’t get a whole lot done today. At least not in the field. We have the ability to search the county jails for people that we are looking for. So if I am looking for someone named Joe Smith I periodically check the jails through out California and sometimes the prison systems. If I find them then there’s no reason for me to continue looking for them. So today I spent some time checking the jails for my defendants. Sometimes I am glad they were picked up by Police and sometimes I’m not. Usually I am glad when I am not making progress.
There are a couple of people that I really want to get myself and I’m looking forward to arresting them. One of them, let’s call him EZ, molested his 6 year old niece. I have to be careful not to go into too much detail but this guy is a piece of garbage. He was baby sitting his niece and his daughter and decided, after a few beers, to put his hands on her.
During the police investigation it was determined that this was not the first time he’s done this. The last time was with his own 7 year old daughter. Since then his first wife dumped him and, get this, warned his current wife. She either didn’t believe it or doesn’t care. I have spoken to her and she’s living in denial.
Anyway, he decided not to go to court and I’ve been looking for him for about 3 months. Some of his family members are helping but I’m concerned he may have fled back to Mexico. This is more common then most people think – Mexicans coming here illegally (or otherwise), committing crime and then fleeing back to Mexico. More on that later.
I’ve taken a special interest in capturing EZ and it’s a high bond amount so I am spending more time developing and following leads. I have some pretty good information that he is running with a friend and might still be in the area. I am working with the police detective that worked the case and have a good relationship with one of his family members. She trusts me and is convinced that he needs to be in jail.
As always, everyone’s innocent until proven guilty…
