Rick has been gone from us for more than 4 years now and during that time there have been many interesting twists in the case brought against him. His former boss spoke out against him at the time and swore they were telling the truth. I’ve learned from first hand experience that this person is less than honest. I noticed that they visited my website this past week and spent more than 14 minutes reading my journal. They’ve never done that before so I called to ask what the interest was now. I was told they were merely interested in my books and wanted to know more about them. The status report for my site indicates that they arrived at my site Googling Rick Enss – not Chris Enss. The status report for my site shows they never viewed any information about my books. They lied. The authorities I’ve been passing such information on to agree the behavior is highly suspicious and are looking into the matter. I don’t think I’m safe right now, but it’s surprising how little I care. I had a hand in his downfall because I scared. I won’t make the same mistake twice. I’ll continue on with another portion of Rick’s statement today – if for nothing else than to ease my own guilt. “During my time working investigations, the Chief of Police, the Lieutenant in charge of investigations, and the Prosecuting Attorney at the time had approved a plan to establish an internet/child pornography/criminal investigation unit. I attended several courses on this type of investigation. One such class I attended was given by the Attorney General’s office from the State of Missouri. These were classes I took at the request of the supervisors who wanted the task force started. When the classes and training first began, the department did not have internet. We were just getting started and in the process of setting things up. I was not told when this unit or task force would be complete or fully operational, but was instructed to continue my training in this area of law enforcement. The problem that is huge for me is that the Chief of Police died of cancer shortly after the department moved and got internet. The Lieutenant in charge of investigations was made temporary chief and was subsequently killed in a car accident. The Prosecuting Attorney at the time is the only one left who knows about the task force. He would have testified in my defense.” I wish everyday I had let things play out and that Rick could have told his side to a jury. I talked him out of it because I was scared and now he’s gone.
