Da Victim Advocate

Dawn, I spoke with Willene at the Sheriff's office. She wants confirmation from DA Rushton before she will release the police report info. I have emailed that information to him. The report will probably have information redacted per their policy. I believe it is usually suspects info that is redacted, I'm not sure. I printed the letters you attached to your email and put them in DA Ruston's mailbox. - Hide quoted text -

My mother is 72 years old and not in good health and the stress of this situation compounds her health issues. I am the stepdaughter of Nye Frank and was raised by him and have been a member of his family over 30 years. Reading the Victim's Rights manual and websites states that my mother is also entitled to extra help due to her age. Please update the police, Sheriff, DA office that I am the next of kin and have the right to help my mother. My contact information is below (they can also contact me at my mom's house 951-849-1311). Yesterday, I went to the Banning Police Department and they did not have the police report. They referred me to the Cabazon Sheriff department. When I went there, I spoke to Willene Garcia who is a supervisor there. She told me I could not get a copy of the police report or any statements. Also she questioned my being considered next of kin of Nye's as she said I am a stepdaughter not a blood family member. Then she said if she gave us anything it would have all the information blacked out. I asked her if she had a victims rights manual on site and she stated she did not and has not read one. I called 760 836-1632 Central Homicide and have left several messages but no one answers. In the past I have requested the police report, statements in the file via phone, fax and letter. All requests have been ignored, or we have been told we cannot have them. I would like a way to go to court to have a judge court order our ability to get the police report and statements. Can you please tell us how or who can help us. We do not have money for an attorney. My mother has been left without any income with my dad passing away. I am willing to go where and see who we need to. Please help us with this. Today would be great, sooner the better. I am also attaching the letter from Larry McRae, also the documents that came with the recording of their call to the police. I have the recording now, and will bring it another time. I hope the DA takes the time to read the letter from Larry McRae 951 845-7378, and Steven de Sante 714 969-8277 and interview them. Also due to fear of being harmed and harassed, a family here that have witnessed two incidents involving Ty Reddish have not come forward to the police. But they did tell me about the three incidents, and told me they are afraid to report them. They are my mom's neighbors, Luciene and Connie Turlea and their daughters. They are the ones who told me about Steven and helped me find him. They said there was also a runner that they saw Ty roughing up physically and verbally yelling at for making dust. But when Ty saw the girls walking he backed off. They also were witnesses to the accident at Larry McRae's home. Their home phone number is 951 849-6556. These are good people, immigrants to this country and have had the Reddish family actively warn them after Nye's death. Consistant with this is also an experience that Bob Keeling's wife,

Claudia had with Ty being out of control when he verbally attacked Mrs Keeling at the bottom of the hill in front of several people after the fire when the fire department was not letting people go up the hill. Also attached is the document that was sent back to us with the refund check for request of autopsy report, with Bob Doyle's office themselves handwriting in our letter "Return check. Case is homicide. No reports for release". The whole experience with this has been so hard and really surreal. I cannot believe that victims go through this. I hope to get involved and stay involved to make a difference. If my parents did not have me this would be brushed under a rug and left. My parents have been assets to the community and are good people. They do not deserve this. And the Riverside County community do not deserve to have this happen again. I would like any training that your group offers, and to participate in helping others. I appreciated the DA's time this last week and yours. For the first time I felt somewhat that Mike listened to what I had to say. I want to thank both of you.
