Annapolis, Maryland - Authorities are delving into the "suspicious death" of a potential kidnapping victim, whose body was reportedly discovered in a wooded locale last week. According to the Baltimore Police Department, the incident unfolded on March 28, just before 1 a.m., when officers were summoned to a residence following reports of a home invasion. Upon arrival, a woman recounted to the police that two unidentified men forcibly entered her home, demanding money. They purportedly claimed to have her son, 47-year-old David Winchester Jr., and threatened harm unless she complied with their monetary demands. The suspects absconded from the premises without the ransom.

The Office of the Independent Monitor, or OIM and the Citizens Oversight Board or COB have released their annual reports on the state of policing in Denver. According to the OIM report, the most common violations recorded by the Denver Police Department in 2023 were “duty to obey departmental rules and mayoral executive orders” and “discourtesy.” Duty to obey departmental rules and mayoral executive orders is a specification that covers a wide range of possible violations, including, but not limited to, unconstitutional search and seizure, improper handling of evidence and personal property, and violations of the DPD’s body-worn camera policy. “Discourtesy is a specification used when officers are alleged to have violated a rule requiring them to be ‘orderly, attentive, respectful, and exercise patience and discretion in the performance of their duties.’”
