It's always sad. It's becoming more sad by the day.

RIP Lt Gliniewicz.

Nothing but endless respect for a Lieutenant who's 32 years on the job and still getting in foot pursuits and being pro-active. From what I read a great man. A huge loss for his family, his community the entire LEO community.

Could have sworn I guessed it right in the original thread, but that thread must have been deleted or heavily pruned since I can't find it. I remember a huge thread going on when this happened.

Though I can't be certain. I do remember thinking it seemed pretty strange.

Anyway, this guy was a real scumbag if true. Not just because he was allegedly stealing for years, but because he staged his death in a way that could have easily gotten more people killed. Didn't they find the supposed 3 people that were caught on a surveillance cam around the area(details are fuzzy)? If Gliniewicz saw them and used them for his bogus description unbeknownst to them, they could have easily hung around wherever they were and been gunned down by surprise. Luckily it didn't turn out that way, but man...

Same guy.

IMO, his estate should be forced to pay for all of the costs associated with the investigation. What a freakin loser.
