Page 30 - - asked if she felt she did anything on the 26th that had a negative impact on the investigation, Arndt said, "I think I <BR>did a phenomenally good job, given the resources that I had and the information that I had." She indicated that she thought it <BR>was a kidnapping until the body was found - had no reason to think otherwise.<P>Page 33 - - asked if she "...took all reasonable efforts under the circumstances to preserve the crime scene?" she responded, <BR>"Yes."<P>Page 35 - She thought more would be covered in the interview - wanted to thank certain people for their support - felt she got <BR>tired and could have done better.<P>Page 38 - Arndt wanted to talk about <BR>1. actual events of 12/26<BR>2. internal politics at BPD<BR>3. how the focus got lost in the investigation<P>Page 40 - she spoke about how - within the first week - members of the BPD were talkking about how they might write a book <BR>about this case. She also said that people were assigned because of relationships they had with others in the department - there <BR>was a lot of favoritism going on.<P>On page 41-42 there is this exchange -<BR>Arndt - " There was quite a strong message sent out when Mason was summarily dismissed from the investigative team. And <BR>then it was known the next day that what he was charged with he never did, but still, he was put through hell for 6 months and <BR>went through an IA. And it was known that he never did what was alleged.<BR>The politics involved people in supervisory positions able to see balck and white and not able to see anything that wasn't <BR>tangible. And if a person's opinion on the investigative team was in the minority, that opinion was dismissed.<P>Q. Does that include your opinions?<P>A. It included mine, all of the Department of Social Services, including some other people.<P>Q. So you were - you felt you were advocating certain opinions in these investigative team meetings that were minority opinions, <BR>and, therefore, disregarded?<P>A. It was not - - my opinion was not the opinion of the command structure at the Boulder Police Department, and no, my <BR>opinion wasn't, was never heard nor heeded.<P>Q. So to repeat my question, you felt that opinions you were expressing in these investigative team meetings were being <BR>disregarded and were minority opinions.<P>A. Opinions and information, yes.<P><BR>Arndt said that she wanted to see the possibility of incest studied but they wouldn't follow her lead.<P>(But other sources indicate that they DID check on that - - so I don't know what Arndt is referring to.)
