subject: Demand For Administrative Investigation - Chapter 13 Data Request For High-Profile Samantha & Ginanna Rucki And Douglas & Gina Dahlen Data

Anne O'Flynn, General Manager Grant County Herald & Chris Ray, Editor 218-685-5326 | 877-852-2796:

How would you like to do a story on how your corrupt former Chief Deputy Troy C. Langlie, your corrupt former Sheriff Dwight Walvatne and your corrupt Grant County Attorney Justin Anderson conspired with corrupt Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom to illegally withhold confidential criminal investigative data from Deirdre Evavold and Sandra Grazzini-Rucki in their high-profile criminal cases? What evidence? The preliminary audio statements of Gina and Douglas Dahlen and the missing Rucki sisters Gianna and Samantha. I was able to obtain some but not all of the confidential criminal investigative data for Christina Fox that was being illegally withheld by corrupt Stearns County Sheriff John Sanner and corrupt Stearns County Attorney Janelle P. Kendall. So, are you interested or not?

Terry Dean, Nemmers (320) 283-5713

P.S. Make sure to ask to listen to Dede’s and my 04-29-16 audio recorded conversation with your corrupt Grant County Attorney Justin Anderson, okay? It’s 802_4455.MP3, isn’t it?

Officers conducting all criminal investigations will, whenever possible, record oral victim and witness statements in lieu of written statements. Statement evidence obtained during an initial investigation can be very powerful evidence in determining the course of an investigation; ultimately impacting charging decisions and convictions.

THE DEFENDANT: Well, a fair trial includes the right to present a complete defense. I was made aware that I was also not provided with information on Christina Fox, all of the investigative data. I completed a consent form that was given to Stearns County to have that released, and that was willfully refused to be provided to my husband, so I -- again, I didn't receive any of the preliminary audio statements on any of the witnesses, so I wasn't given a fair trial and able to complete a defense. ...
MS. KEENA: Your Honor, the defendant did receive a fair trial in this matter. It was her actions and her inaction in not wanting to participate under this false belief that she did not receive all the discovery in this case. She received all the discovery in this case, and this nonsense about Christina Fox and Stearns County, I have no idea what she's referring to. She was given police reports that outlined what Christina Fox -- what information she provided to the Lakeville Police Department. I have no idea what she's talking about in relation to Stearns County. November 10, 2016 Sentencing Hearing State of Minnesota, Plaintiff, vs. Deirdre Elise Evavold, Defendant. Court File No. 19HA-CR-15-4227.

When Fox and Sam did leave the residence, they went to the library and a business similar to a print shop to fax documents to a Dale who was believed to be an attorney. Fox said Sam would always duck down the entire time during the drive. Sam was scared and did not want anyone to know where she was. ... I later made contact with Lieutenant Polinski and updated him on the information that I gathered. Stearns County Sheriff’s Office Narrative Report ICR# 15060803.3 sup page 2 of 3.

I am demanding an administrative investigation into your corrupt former Chief Deputy Troy C. Langlie, your corrupt former Sheriff Dwight Walvatne and your corrupt Grant County Attorney Justin Anderson conspiring with the corrupt Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom to illegally withhold confidential criminal investigative data from Deirdre Evavold and Sandra Grazzini-Rucki in their high-profile criminal cases. By the way, your corrupt former Sheriff Walvatne has a bad habit of misusing public resources to maliciously destroying readily available, free, electronic, public data by printing the electronic data unto pieces of paper and them scans them back into the computer. Why? To malicious destroy the searchable format on the electronic data. Oh and your corrupt former Sheriff Walvatne makes wild, outrageous and unsubstantiated claims that his Lexipol policy and procedure manual cannot be released for copyright reasons.

Based upon the information obtained through analysis of Evavold’s phone and computer, I drafted a search warrant for 20916 140 th St. Herman, MN. The Dakota County Attorney’s Office also drafted a sealing order for the warrant as well. Lt. Polinski contacted the Grant County Sheriff’s Office and spoke with the Chief Deputy, Troy Langly, and was advised that they had contact with Dahlen due to his divorce, but no other contacts. On 11/18/15, I went to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office in Elbow Lake, MN, and met with Sheriff Dwight Walvatne and Sgt. John Cooks. Sheriff Walvatne and Sgt. Cooks were briefed about the investigation and what had led us to the Dahlen residence. Both advised that they have had contact with Doug Dahlen and believed that he would be cooperative. The search warrant and sealing order were signed by the Honorable Judge Glasrud. Sheriff Walvatne and Sgt. Cooks stated that they would assist with the warrant at the residence. Detective Helmueller, Detective Coughlin, and Detective Hakanson also responded to the area and were waiting in Herman, MN. Inspector Matt Moran from the US Marshal’s Service also responded to the area. It was determined that Sheriff Walvatne, Sgt. Cooks, Inspector Moran, and I would respond to the residence and attempt to interview Doug Dahlen, and if necessary, the rest of the team would respond to assist with the warrant. We arrived at 20916 140 th St and were met by Doug Dahlen just outside the residence. Sheriff Walvatne and Sgt. Cooks advised him of who we were and that we wanted to ask him some questions. I advised Doug that Inspector Moran and I were investigating a case involving two missing girls that we believed may have been brought to the ranch a few years earlier due to a contentious divorce process. At that time Doug advised us that the girls were in the house. I asked Doug how they got here, and he stated that their mother had brought them there a few years earlier. I asked him when he had last heard from their mother, and he had told me that it was over a year ago. He invited us inside and called Samantha and Gianna down from the upstairs bedroom. Samantha and Gianna came down, and immediately told us that they would not go back to their father. We told them that our first concern was their safety. I did ask them about the last time that they had heard from their mother, and they told me that they would not say anything without a lawyer. I asked Inspector Moran to stay with them, and I stepped outside to contact Lt. Polinski. I advised him that we had Samantha and Gianna, and asked him to start making calls to determine where they should be brought. I also contacted Detective Helmueller and advised them that we had the girls and asked them to respond to the scene as well. Upon their arrival, I asked Detective Coughlin to stay with the girls, as Doug had advised me that Samantha had issues with males.

KEENA: Your Honor, if I may just comment to that? I just received it late last week, and it’s actually on sitting on my secretary’s desk to disclose to Mr. Keil, and she’s gone today. So they will be receiving it this week. Jury Trial Volume I, State of Minnesota vs. Sandra Grazzini. Court File No. 19HA-CR- 15-2669.

THE COURT: And at our initial hearing, former counsel expressed he desire to address the issue of probable cause, whether there’s sufficient probable cause to support the charges in the complaint – I assume no amended complaint – although I have not received the motion, a formal motion to dismiss for lack of probable cause. Do you intend to litigate this issue of probable cause, Mr. Grigsby?
GRIGSBY: I do, you Honor. The only issue that I am able to discern from what I have, and that’s simply two complaints, is the issue of probable cause. There’s apparently a large amount of discovery that I haven’t seen. I don’t know if it has been disclosed. Apparently they want a large fee for it. My understanding is that Ms. Grazzini has been given in forma pauperis, so then we could eventually present that to the court. 11-24-15 Hearing Case No.19HA-CR-15-2669 State of Minnesota vs. Sandra Grazzini, Page 1,2 of 7.

THE COURT: Ms. Evavold, you are representing yourself.
EVAVOLD: Yes.
THE COURT: The State filed a motion to compel testimony of Ms. Dahlen, Mr. Dahlen and Ms. Evavold pursuant to Minnesota Statute 609.09, Subdivision 1. A joint response was filed on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Dahlen. I have not received a response from Ms. Evavold. Have you responded in writing to this motion, Ms. Evavold.
EVAVOLD: I have responded to the District Court Administrator again on Friday about not receiving my evidence, so —
THE COURT: Did you file a response to the motion to compel? MS.EVAVOLD: No, not with the court
THE COURT: Okay. Is the State ready to proceed? Jury Trial Volume I, State of Minnesota vs. Sandra Grazzini. Court File No. 19HA-CR- 15-2669. July 18, 2016 at the Dakota County Judicial Center, Hastings, Minnesota. Page 3.

The objective of our rules of discovery is to encourage the exchange of relevant information by the parties prior to trial and to discourage and prevent unjust surprise and prejudice at trial, especially where the testimony of expert witnesses is concerned. See Shymanski v. Nash, 312 Minn. 304, 307, 251 N.W.2d 854, 856 (Minn.1977). As we have stated, “trial by ambush” fell out of favor in the courts of this state over 50 years ago. See American Standard Ins. Co. v. Le, 551 N.W.2d 923, 925 n. 3 (Minn.1996). Supreme Court of Minnesota. Stuart E. GALE and Sandra W. Gale, petitioners, Stringer, J. and Lancaster, J. Relators, v. COUNTY OF HENNEPIN, Respondent. No. C5-99-1349. Decided: May 11, 2000. https://caselaw.findlaw.com/mn-supreme-court/1275639.html

How Courts Work Steps in a Trial Discovery To begin preparing for trial, both sides engage in discovery. This is the formal process of exchanging information between the parties about the witnesses and evidence they’ll present at trial. Discovery enables the parties to know before the trial begins what evidence may be presented. It’s designed to prevent "trial by ambush," where one side doesn’t learn of the other side’s evidence or witnesses until the trial, when there’s no time to obtain answering evidence.
