| Captain Hank Turner of SD Sheriffs Office. He will look into reports of Sheriffs failing to respond to resident reports, refusal to give their names (no nametags), and leaving search for missing couple up to community volunteers. He gave a timeline Sheriff actions (re the missing couple) beginning on June 26th. Their bodies were found by the volunteer group after a 15 minute search yesterday (June 29th). |
 |
| Potrero residents Iris Gardner and LeAnn Mitsui. Heart-wrenching testimony to searching for—and locating—the bodies of Jim and Kyrie yesterday. They followed dog tracks up the hill behind the couple's house and located their remains sheltered between large boulders. Supervisor Jacob said she was very concerned about their description of the Sheriffs' (lack of) response to repeated requests to search for their neighbors. |
