Quick update on the Casey Pitzer records request. 25 days. Fourteen categories of records about this woman's death. Zero produced.

Today I finally got an email from Wilmington PD's records officer. He's starting to review and send documents on a rolling basis.

Good.

But here's the line: "I just received the case file last week from Chief Gibson."

Last week. Three weeks after I filed. The exact same week my constructive denial notice hit the Chief's desk, the Law Director's desk, the entire command chain.

The file didn't move until I forced it to move.

I'll review every page they send and show you exactly what they produce and what they don't. That's the update. More to come.

This week the stonewall cracked. Hiram's own mayor wrote — by hand — that a sitting councilman poked a village employee in the chest twice until he put his hands up. Then the village told me ZERO records existed… and six days later said those same records were too confidential to release. Both can't be true.

Meanwhile, that same councilman's name turned up on a MANTUA police time sheet at 12:30 in the morning — a different village entirely. And Mantua's own schedules show 277 hours in a single month with zero officers on duty, even after paying $170K for a neighboring chief to fix it.

Body cam from the Rooster's Statehouse arrest is up on Patreon, uncut. The troopers treated it as a routine warrant pickup — which is NOT what the affidavit claimed. The paper trail doesn't lie, and neither does the body cam.

Full breakdowns + behind-the-scenes on Patreon. Be loud. Be heard. Shake the system until the truth falls out.

Te****le Nation — this was a heavy week. Productions landed, denials dropped, and one document tied two villages together in a way nobody on

The affidavit said The Rooster was a security threat. The Ohio State Highway Patrol body cam shows a trooper offering to charge his phone.

I went through all five officers' recordings. Sergeant Patterson's first words were "Hey DJ, can we talk to you for a second?" One trooper explicitly told Byrnes on camera that the warrant had zero effect on his ability to enter the Statehouse. "Outside agency having a warrant." That's the quote. Not a threat. Not a security matter. An outside warrant.

And before The Rooster ever saw that affidavit, before any of that language was reported, he said under Miranda that they were going to try to say he menaced someone. Then the paperwork came out.

Seven records requests filed. Two agencies routed to shared legal counsel and went quiet.

Which part of this sits right with you?

A sitting Ohio councilman walked into the village fire station and poked a firefighter in the chest. Twice. Until the firefighter put his hands up trying to create distance.

The Mayor of Hiram, Ohio was standing right there. She wrote it all down on a police statement form in her own handwriting.

So I filed a public records request.

The village told me in writing that zero records existed.

Six days later those same records were suddenly confidential.
Both of those things cannot be true under Ohio law. I've got both responses in their own writing.

I now have active cases in the Eleventh District Court of Appeals and the Ohio Court of Claims. They've started producing some records. But the email chain between the police chief, the Mayor, and their attorney — sent eight days after my Court of Claims complaint landed — came back almost entirely blacked out.

The subject line on that email? "Recent Records Requests."

New video up now. The Mayor's statement. The contradiction. The blacked out email. All of it.

Mantua, Ohio has been promising 24-hour police coverage since May 2022. Their own work schedules show 277 hours last month with nobody on duty. That's 41 percent of the month with zero police presence.

They fired their chief partly for this. Then they paid Hiram $170,000 to fix it. Eight months later, midnight to 7 AM, nobody's home.

And then a name showed up on a Mantua PD sergeant's time sheet that connects straight to our Hiram investigation. Three words in a comments field at 12:30 in the morning: "Perme pink slip."

Full breakdown is live.

🔴 DAWN PASELA — THIS JUST GOT A LOT MORE INTERESTING

**PHOTO IS AI GENERATED**

Dawn Pasela died in Parma, Ohio in 2012. Her death was classified as a "Sudden Death" and the investigation was suspended. It has never been fully resolved.

Now here's what we've just obtained, thanks Justice for Dawn Pasela— and why it matters.
An internal Parma Police Department investigation memo documents how former Parma Police Chief Joseph Bobak, in the days following his February 2024 retirement, removed the hard drive from his department-issued computer, wiped it, drilled holes through it, and threw it in a dumpster. On a recorded phone call, he admitted it. He said the drive contained "sensitive files." He was eventually convicted of Criminal Mischief and paid a fine.
But here's where it gets significant for Dawn Pasela's case specifically.

The officer who responded to the scene of Dawn Pasela's death in 2012 and filed the original incident report? Bob DeSimone. The same Bob DeSimone that Bobak himself referenced in that recorded call — identifying DeSimone as the person who purchased the very computers that Bobak later destroyed.

The man who bought the computers that held the "sensitive files." The man who worked the original scene. The same person.
It gets deeper. Records show that in April 2023 — ten months before Bobak destroyed that hard drive — Bobak quietly arranged a private meeting with Dan Kasaris, a former Cuyahoga County Assistant Prosecutor, specifically to discuss, in Bobak's own words, Kasaris's "background with Dawn Pasela." The chief of the department that handled her death was privately briefing a former county prosecutor about her — and nobody announced it, and nobody explained why.

Ten months later, the hard drive was gone.
We don't know what was on it. That's exactly the problem. What we do know is that a police chief who knew the proper destruction procedure — who had literally initiated that official process through department channels just weeks before he retired — chose instead to do it himself, in secret, and called it "sensitive files."

I am filing public records requests demanding the complete unredacted investigation file, all surveillance footage, building access logs, IT audit records, and two years of internal communications that preceded the criminal complaint.

Dawn Pasela deserved a full investigation in 2012. She deserves one now. I am going to push on every door available to find out what was on that drive and why it had to disappear.
Stay tuned. This is not over.

⚠️ Victim and witness identities are protected throughout. All findings are sourced to statements and public records.

Something is coming.

A Rocky River police officer spent 16 years on the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. His own words on Facebook: "I get to chat as a 12-year-old girl and try to catch creeps hitting on kids."

According to sworn statements provided to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, he was doing something very different in his police car.

BCI's Special Victims Unit investigated. Six search warrants. Six platforms. Every single one listed r**e and kidnapping. A judge approved probable cause for those crimes six separate times.

He pled to three database misuse counts. Served less than 30 days. No s*x offender registry.

I have the complete BCI file. 155 on-the-record findings. Four interviews.

I've given the Rocky River PD, the special prosecutor, the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office, and BCI until June 26th to respond.

Then I'm going to tell you everything.

5 episodes. "The Worst Kept Secret in Rocky River."

Four government agencies gave me records on the same arrest. Two more won't say a single word, and the two that went silent both happen to be tied to the politician at the center of it.

Here's the part that should bother you. Both offices reportedly routed my request to the exact same lawyer, and both produced nothing. Two bodies that are supposed to be separate, one legal desk, one stall. Meanwhile a court clerk told another requester there were "no responsive records," then handed him the file two days later.

I'm not accusing anyone of anything the documents don't support. I'm asking why the trail keeps going quiet in the same spots.What do you make of two "separate" offices sharing one lawyer and one silence?

Chris. Buddy. My favorite Hiram Councilman who gives me sooo much content.

You’ve got a roof to finish, an exterminator on round two, and somehow you found time to make pig content aimed at me. On your own page. As the author.

You’re not infamous yet. But between the posts and the stuff you don’t post about, you’re getting there quick.

Don’t forget about your arraignment coming up. 🚒 🔥 🧯

Be loud. Be heard. Shake the system until the truth falls out.
