Narrative
Case #16-3037
Deputy Steve Kellison, #565
On May 27, 2016, at about 1609 hours, I arrived at the Jail while doing a prisoner transport from Longmont
Community Treatment Center. When I arrived, I noticed an ambulance in the intake garage. I contacted Jail
Master Control and learned they had a medical incident in progress, and CPR was being performed on an inmate.
I told Master Control that I would wait outside the garage until the patient was transported.
While I was waiting, I saw paramedics and jail deputies bring a person out and put her into the ambulance that
was waiting in the Intake Garage. I could see Deputy Chris Reiss performing CPR while they were loading her
into the ambulance. I could see paramedics still performing CPR after they had loaded the patient into the
ambulance. Several minutes later, I noticed CPR had stopped.
I transferred my prisoner into Jail custody, and offered to assist with the situation. I spoke with Jail staff and
learned that Inmate Stephanie Anderson had been found unresponsive in her cell. Jail staff attempted to
resuscitate her, and medical assistance was requested through Boulder City Dispatch. AMR Ambulance was

Narrative
dispatched to respond to the Jail at 1558 hours. The ambulance arrived at 1603 hours.
I spoke with the ambulance crew, Paramedic Melissa Lewis, and EMT Brandon Buggeln. They told me they had
continued to attempt to resuscitate the patient after they arrived. A decision was made to transport her to Boulder
Community Hospital. Shortly after they loaded the patient onto the ambulance, Dr. Meyers at Boulder Community
Hospital declared the patient dead at 1628 hours.
Because the patient had already been put on the ambulance, it was decided to leave her on the ambulance, and
secure the scene until an Investigator from the Coroner's Office arrived.
I went into the Jail and spoke with Deputy Debra Clem. She was working in the Women's Module at the Jail,
where Inmate Anderson was housed in cell number 21. Cell number 21 is in the sub-dayroom of the module.
Deputy Clem told me she had just completed assisting the nursing staff with medical rounds, which had lasted
from 1514 hours to 1533 hours. Shortly after finishing the medical rounds, she went into the module to do a
routine welfare check. She went first to Inmate Anderson's cell.
When Deputy Clem looked into Inmate Anderson's cell, she could see her lying on her right side, facing away from
the door. Deputy Clem could not see any movement, and Inmate Anderson did not respond when she called out.
Deputy Clem looked and saw that Deputy Stephanie Gonzales was in the officer workstation for the module, and
she called her on the intercom and asked her to open cell number 21. Deputy Clem went into the cell and called
out to Inmate Anderson. When Inmate Anderson did not respond, Deputy Clem approached and shook her.
There was still no response, and Deputy Clem immediately called for medical assistance for an unresponsive
inmate. Deputy Clem did not check for a pulse, but did not see any sign that Inmate Anderson was breathing.
Medical staff arrived within about 1 minute, and began attempts to resuscitate her.
Deputy Clem was unclear on the order in which other Deputies and medical staff arrived. She kept her focus on
Inmate Anderson.
During the attempts to resuscitate her, Jail staff moved Inmate Anderson out of her cell onto the floor of the
sub-dayroom.
By the time I began speaking with Deputy Clem, Detective Steve Ainsworth had arrived to investigate. Coroner's
Investigator Kimberly Seifert had also arrived.
Each of the jail Deputies who were on scene will do a supplement to Jail Incident Report number 16-2182.
Commander Geno Martinez informed me he was going to make a copy of the surveillance video for the Women's
Module for the time surrounding this incident. I asked him to forward me a copy when he had it done.
I asked Sergeant Koger to print a log of the welfare checks in the Women's Module from their system. She told
me she would get that to me on Saturday, May 28.
Victim Advocates were paged to respond to the jail to assist with staff and inmates who witnessed the incident.
At this time the cause and manner of death are still unknown and are under investigation by the Coroner's Office.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Deputy Steve Kellison, #565
On May 28, 2016, I received a copy of the welfare check log from the Guard system. This system electronically
logs each time a deputy checks a cell. This uses a handheld device, which is connected briefly with an electronic
tag on the exterior of each cell, to log the check. This log was labeled "Intake" because the Intake and Women's
modules had been physically switched, but the Guard system had not been updated to show the new Women's
Module is actually the old Intake Module.
I reviewed the log, and saw that Deputy Clem had logged a check at 1554 hours. This was consistent with when
she told me she had gone to check on Inmate Anderson. The next check prior to that was at 1326 hours, also by
Deputy Clem.
I spoke with Commander Martinez and Sergeant Koger about this. They told me the deputies in the modules are
often in the module day room doing "direct supervision." This should also be logged using a "direct supervision"
tag for the Guard system. There were no logs of direct supervision during that time.
I reviewed the video of the Women's Module from about 30 minutes prior to the incident. I could see Deputy Clem
in the module day room supervising medical rounds. Immediately after medical rounds, I saw Deputy Clem walk
directly to the sub-dayroom door. She was stopped at the door by an inmate. Deputy Clem spoke with the inmate
briefly, and during that time a second inmate approached and began speaking with her. Deputy Clem then left
the view of the camera with the second inmate. Several minutes later Deputy Clem walked out of the module.
A few minutes after that, Deputy Clem came back into the module, and went into the sub-dayroom. I could see

her shining her flashlight into cell 21, and then she turned on the lights inside the cell. I also saw her flash the
lights on and off. Deputy Clem then walked down the sub-dayroom to where the intercom is on the wall. She
walked back to cell 21 as the door started to open. Deputy Clem was only in the cell for a few seconds before I
saw her step to the doorway briefly and return inside. It appeared she was calling for assistance on her radio.
Numerous deputies and medical staff arrived quickly after that. The other inmates in the module were locked
down, and the video showed the ongoing life-saving efforts.
Sergeant Koger gave me a DVD that contained the parts of the video immediately surrounding the incident. All of
the views on the DVD, and also on the longer video I reviewed, were from one of three cameras in the Women's
Module. The two other cameras are the view from the opposite corner of the main dayroom, and from inside the
sub-dayroom. The sub-dayroom camera does not have a view of cell 21. I asked Sergeant Koger to make sure
to retain all of the video from all three cameras for the entire day. She told me she would.
I printed a copy of the log from the Guard system. I placed it in the case file. I placed the DVD with the module
video into evidence, item number SSK1.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Steven Ainsworth #536
On 052916, at about 1650 hours, I responded to the Boulder County Jail on a reported deceased party at that
location; I was told the decedent was currently inside the AMR ambulance in the sallyport at the jail.
I arrived and contacted Boulder County Sheriff's Deputy Steve Kellison along with Boulder County Sheriff's
Sergeant Troy Wolf. I was introduced to two AMR paramedics; Melissa Lewis and Brandon Buggeln. Kellison
told me that the decedent, Stephanie Anderson, DOB 063086, was found unresponsive on her bed in Women's 21
and Jail Medical and paramedics were summoned but had no vital signs and resuscitation efforts were of no
avail. According to Ms. Lewis, when they arrived, the decedent was asystolic and in their resuscitation efforts,
they gave her three rounds of epinephrine and one round of Narcan. She remained asystolic and Lewis told me
was ready to pronounce the Anderson dead then and there; however, was told by a jail supervisor she could not
do that and they had to transport her out of the jail to the sallyport into the bus. They did as instructed, then she
then contacted Dr. Myers at BCH, who pronounced Anderson dead at 1628 hrs. I later learned that Sergeant
Karmen Koger of the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Jail Division had told the paramedics that they could not
pronounce the decedent dead in the jail; that she would have to be taken outside.
Deputy Kellison told me he had learned the decedent came to the jail the previous afternoon after being arrested
for theft and a warrant, and was extremely uncooperative. She complained of chest pains and was taken to the
hospital where she remained uncooperative and refused all treatment. At the hospital, it was determined she had
cardiomyopathy- heart pain, and gave her three medications; one for nausea and two for a UTI. Upon her return
to the jail, she was still uncooperative and went to Women's lockdown wearing a smock.
Boulder County Coroner's Investigator Kimberly Seifert arrived and was briefed as well. She and I then took

Narrative
photographs of the decedent in the ambulance and then had the pram removed from the ambulance where we
could conduct a brief external examination more effectively. I noted there were numerous medical devices in
place, including intubation, an Ambu bag, monitoring wiring, EKG leads, an intraosseous infusion device in her
right shin, and two Pacing/Defib/ECG electrodes; one on the upper right chest and one on the lower left abdomen.
The decedent was quite obese and had congestion in the face and upper neck area as well as her eyes. There
was light pink blanching livor mortis present on her back, consistent with her having been lying in that position for
a period of time, but livor mortis was also present frontally on her upper legs and hip area; there was no rigor
present. We photographed the decedent, then placed her into a body bag and into the Coroner's van.
We then went inside the jail and contacted Melanie Dreiling, Health Services Administrator for the Sheriff's Office.
She told us the decedent was extremely uncooperative, and when we asked what medications she was on and
what health issues she had, Dreiling said they were never able to obtain that information because the decedent
was so uncooperative. She said the last time anyone from medical services had seen the decedent was at 0930
the morning of the 27th when the decedent was standing at the door of her cell yelling.
Investigator Seifert and I then went into the Women's module accompanied by Deputy Tim Aguilar and were taken
to cell number 21, where the decedent was found. Number 21 is in a sub day room area in which are several
other cells. We photographed the area and I noted two medical response bags outside the cell. Inside the cell, I
noted what appeared to be greenish vomit on the floor near the toilet and a small amount of what appeared to be
the same greenish material, as well as a rubber band in the sink. In the green material on the floor were what
appeared to be hand swipe marks from the outer edge near The water in the toilet also had a greenish tinge to it.
There was a quilted green suicide smock underneath the bed and what appeared to be the other half of it outside
the cell in the hallway. There was a styrofoam container on the floor just inside the door which contained what
appeared to be ham, bread of some kind, and some white rice. Nothing overtly unusual was noted in the cell.
We cleared from the scene and I took the SD card containing the photographs I had taken to BCSO Headquarters
where I placed them into BCSO Property & Evidence under SGA #1. I was later advised that a postmortem
examination was scheduled for Sunday morning at 0700 hrs.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Steven Ainsworth, #536
On 052916, at 0650 hours, I arrived at the Boulder County Coroner's Office to observe and document the autopsy
on the body of the decedent in this case, Stephanie Anderson. Present upon my arrival were the pathologist, Dr.
Daniel Lingamfelter, and the pathology technician, Cory Martin. I observed the decedent on the table still in a
body bag with her name and date of birth hand written in Sharpie marker on the lower left corner. The bag was
opened and I observed the body of the white female who had been identified to me as Stephanie Anderson.
She was measured at 56 inches tall and weighed 242 pounds and I observed that her hair was brownish with
blonde streaks and she had brown eyes. Additionally, she had no clothing save the blanket which had been
placed over her at the jail. There was still medical intervention in place; an IO infusion device, Pacing/Defib/ECG
electrode on the upper right chest and the lower right abdomen, EKG leads on both upper thighs and both anterior
shoulders.
The decedent had numerous tattoos as follows: "Stephanie" on the left neck, "Tino" on the left chest and the right
neck, a playboy bunny on the posterior left shoulder, a scroll with three names on it on the right inner forearm
below the antecubital fossa, an unknown symbol on the right outer calf, and a flowered design on the left calf.
The internal examination revealed that the decedent had abnormalities noted in several of her organs: her heart
exhibited signs of cardiac hypertrophy; it was enlarged at 510 g, the lungs and the liver both showed congested,
the brain was swollen, and there was extensive kidney scarring, possibly indicative of chronic hypertension. Dr.
Lingamfelter noted no injuries and said that the cause and manner of death would be pending microscopy and
toxicology.
All organs were removed, weighed and sectioned with the following weights and amounts:

I took the SD card containing the photographs which I had taken during the autopsy and placed it in the Boulder
County Sheriff's Property and Evidence under SGA #2.
When I went back to my office to complete a supplemental report and place the SD card into evidence, I found
there was a voicemail message from Boulder County Jail Health Services supervisor Melanie Dreiling. She said
that another witness to this event was the nurse who assessed the decedent for chest pains the previous evening,
whom she identified as Rene Sardella. She said Sardella could be reached at extension 4648.

Narrative
Case 16-3037
Detective Polly Miller #545
On June 1, 2016, I was requested to assist with a death case that occurred at the jail. I was tasked with contacting
the parent of Stephanie Anderson and seeing if I could learn more about her medical history. I contacted her
father, Larry Anderson by phone. After introducing myself and telling him I was sorry for his loss, I asked if he
would be willing to talk to me about Stephanie. I asked him if he could tell me about her medical history. He said
she had a very bad heart and then repeated, "a very bad heart". He said she was in and out of the hospital all the
time because of this condition. Then Larry said he has a question for me. He asked me why he heard that his
daughter was asking for help and the jail ignored her pleas and now his "baby girl" is dead. I told him we are in the
middle of this investigation to make sure we have all the right answers for him but I did not have anything to tell
him at this time. He told me he would be happy to tell me what I need but first he would like some answers of his
own before he tells me anymore about his daughter.
I asked him if he would like a victims advocate to call him and he said that would be fine. I asked if his wife, Sonia
could be reached by this number and he said she could. He also gave me her cell phone and confirmed the
number with Sonia in the background before giving it to me. Her cell is
and she would like a call
from them as well. I made sure the victim's advocates were aware of this and gave them the information to contact
them.
I accessed the ICS system for the jail phone calls. I began by running the phone calls that Stephanie made from
the jail. The only successful phone call I found was made from the women's module on 5/28/16 at 2032 hours, to
a Maria Sanchez at
, 7050 Highway 2 Commerce City, CO 80022. According to the date and time of
this phone call, Stephanie would have already been deceased. This was a very short phone call and she spoke
very fast asking Maria to make sure to put money on her account because she was sure that Maria was going to
be the only contact she would have while in jail to contact her mother. She mentioned being arrested at the

Narrative
were to a Troy Harrell at
. Stephanie mentions that a girl died in her pod. She told Troy that the girl
was crying for help and the Deputies ignored her and then she died a short time later. She mentions the officer
had mocked her before she died. Stephanie said the girl next door to the one who died heard and saw everything.
Stephanie told her to write everything down that she saw and to not keep quiet about this. She mentions a later
conversation that the girl next to the one that died is named Leah. She asked Troy to make sure he puts money
on her account so she can allow Leah to make a phone call to call her mother. Stephanie said she was also going
to call her public defender and make sure he is aware of what happened at the jail with the girl dying.
Scalese talks to her father again on 5/31/16. Her Dad said he read about the 29 year old woman who died in the
jail. Scalese said again how Leah Baum had to have heard and seen most everything because she was in the cell
next door. She also mentioned how the "crazy screaming' girl was making them all a little crazy. She told her Dad
that she was refused her meds. She said they told her it was too late by the time she got to the door. She told her
Dad that she kept yelling "I'll be right there". She said they haven't even offered them a grief counselor and now
she is being denied her medication. He told her that a couple reporters are going to talk to her when she gets out
of jail. He told her he has emailed everyone in town, the commissioner etc. Scalese told her Dad that they took the
witness to this to the State Hospital yesterday before the detectives could even talk to her. Her father said Jeremy
with 9 news wants her to call him. He provided a number of
. According to her log, it looked like she
tried to call the reporter later but the call did not go through.
On June 3, Scalese spoke to her father again on the phone. She told "you wouldn't believe all the people she had
talked to ". She told him it was interesting how she is now treated so differently today. She has been able to see
mental health and get her medications. She said it is a big change with how she was treated yesterday. She said
there were many attorneys pulling people out and talking to them at the jail today including herself.
On June 5 she called him as well. Her dad asked if things are better now that they think they are in trouble. She
only talked to the paralegal who works for the big attorney. She said some of the people are using this to get out
faster and use it for their benefit somehow. Scalese said her roommate saw strangulation marks in Anderson's
neck. She did not say who her roommate was but she had told her she saw purple marks on her neck. She told
her Dad that the girl who had to clean up Anderson's puke, found broken open baggies in the puke and the
Deputy just told her throw away the evidence. Her dad said they must have exploded or opened inside her.
Scalese said yes they did and that is why she was so sick and yelling for help. They ignored her and mocked her
when she was calling for help. She said "these guards fucked up big time".
Scalese told her Dad that she has been in here long enough to see how bad addiction to meth is. She watches
these girls come in and they almost always are hiding something. She watches them act crazy and hallucinate
and realized they are in a psychosis from coming off Meth. She said it looks horrible and she thinks this has been
the best rehab she could ever have. She said she just wants to get out, come home, take a Velum and relax and
watch TV like normal.

Case #16-3037
Detective Don Dillard, #542
On June 1, 2016, Detectives Josh Bonafede, Dave Salaman, and myself were called into a briefing room with
Detective Sergeant Brian Lindsey in reference an unattended death at the Boulder County Jail. We were told we
needed to go to the jail and conduct interviews with officers as well as inmates. Upon arrival, the above list of
detectives met with Commander Ron Kaundart, Commander Geno Martinez, and Commander Jeff Goetz to try to
gather a list of female inmates that were here on the 27th, as well as a better understanding of what had taken
place. Once we had the initial information from the commanders, the detectives went to the Women's housing
unit, which was formally the intake area in A.
I conducted an interview with Inmate Charlene Von Schlesien, booking number 1506704. She is housed in the
"bubble" in cell number 26, which is the far right cell as you look into the housing unit. Charlene goes by the
name of Charlie, she had written an affidavit that she wanted to mail to the paper. She had read me some of her
writings, which stated the female housed in unit 21, who is identified as Stephanie Anderson, was saying that she
didn't feel well and was yelling at the women in cell 22, who is identified as Nicole Ann Genova, booking number
1603429. Charlie told me that Genova screams continuously while in the housing unit and stated that she is

Narrative
mentally ill, and just will not be quiet. She said that Anderson was yelling for her to shut up and to be quiet, that
she was killing her with all the screaming. She also stated that Anderson was saying, "I feel sick, I don't feel well,
I need help officer." Charlie said that the deputy stated, "Get some rest." Anderson stated that she couldn't
because Genova wouldn't stop screaming. It is unknown who the officer was that made the comment for her to
get some rest.
Charlie said around 3:00 p.m. there was a med run in the housing unit where Anderson asked the officer to please
help her and she heard, "No habla English." I asked which deputy it was that said that she said it was Deputy
Heck. I asked how she knew it was Deputy Heck and she stated that she has been here since September 2015,
and she is familiar with his voice as well as what he looks like. She said that when she heard that statement, she
said that it drew her attention because she had not heard a deputy make a comment like that since she has been
here, which caused her to get up out of bed to see who it was, she saw the back of Heck as he walked out of the
housing unit.
Charlie asked if I had spoke to Inmate Leah Baum, who is booking number 1603258, that had also completed an
affidavit based on her observations and what she heard on the 27th of May in reference this death. I found Baum
left to another county in reference incarceration.
Charlie said that this housing unit is very loud because of Genova and stated that it is almost impossible to get
any rest, and it is driving people crazy having to listen to her scream around the clock. The document that Charlie
had written in cursive on ruled lined sheets, she had asked if I could make copies of so that I would have a copy
of it for myself. I was able to get a copy of this document that she wrote "Affidavit" across the top and it reads as
follows:
A plea shouldn't go unanswered. I, Charlene-Ann: VonSchlesien, testifying as a natural woman who gives of the
truth of what I say by appealing to my conscience as a witness. It differs from an oath in that the letter appeals to
God as a witness of the truth of what I state and I invoke Him as the avenger of falsehood and perfidy to punish.
Words, declarations, creeds, affidavits, and asseverations have no meaning to those without integrity, ethics, or
morals.
On Friday, May 27, 2016, I awoke early in the a.m. after breakfast with hearing a voice "I do not feel well," the
voice was cracked at times, as though crying/and stressed and fearfully, repeated several times until I heard,
#21-Genova, carrying on with her usual antics, singing, ranting, chanting, rambling at a somewhat usual volume
and tone...High and distinctly clear. The same woman's voice began to interrupt the shrills and mind piercing
voice from Genova, pleading with her to "Please stop," "Please, you're killing me."
Once it appeared Anderson exhausted reasoning and pleading with Genova for relief from the levels of "noise"
that, as one deputy stated in mid May while attempting to speak to one 2 feet away..."Hold on, I cannot hear
you"...is a strong indication for the resonant value, yet she was heard requesting to the deputies, "I feel sick," "I
don't feel well," "I need help, officer." The response was "Get some rest;" Anderson's reply, "I can't, the noise,
she won't stop." I then heard something about "med rounds" equals medication from the nurse...then the
petitioning began again, "Officer, officer, please officer," which was met with "No Habla Englise." Startled by that
bizarre unprofessional response from a male voice, I got up and saw Deputy Heck leaving the "Bubble," I had to
quickly within that moment stoop down since the Velcro on the green smock gave way, yet he did not appear to
seek aid.
Since the handling of Genova's decibel level was the unusual, TURN A BLIND EYE, hah "I get to leave here in a
few hours!" was not repulsive enough, this day made it especially worse with someone ill calling out to officers for
help, and not even receiving any decency of the minimum compassion one may expect, even in an incarcerated
situation, alone "adequate" medical attention.
The last I heard was Deputy Clem - calling "Anderson" at least 6 times, the cell door opened with the deputy
calling her name at least a dozen more times, (assumed, in the cell), then the RUSH. At 4:00 p.m., CPR began,
then "crash cart" programmed audio instruction, then later ambulance team...It was over quickly with a roll out of
Anderson's body by. A few hours later photos were taken, man all in black, tall, thin; perhaps with the Coroner's
Office alongside a young woman. Within hours, the "girls," NOT TRUSTEES, from cell #27- Jamie (?) et al were
CLEANING a cell, "EVIDENCE," where a 29-year-old just died. It was heard the next day there was vomit with

Narrative
something "green" and...now gone which is extraordinary in just some of the information attested to, with two last
points to be noted: (1) I believe I had heard Deputy O'Mara, while CPR was still in progress, there was no intake
information and then a comment about a hospital. The 2nd and final point was looking back at the last 2 days,
mindful of any further recall of the information, it struck me with, yes, concern and then, perplexed; why was there
absolutely NO questioning conducted to me #26; Jamie #25; Baum #24; Stiller #23; Genova #22 (psycho); all
within 25 feet from Anderson #21, NONE!
Die in BCSO Jail & you're being rolled out by (?) medics I'll assume in under 2 minutes with the administration
noted to permit a quick photograph by a man all in black, It's over! And as for Deputy Heck, he was on duty the
next day & speaking "English." Both deputies on the 27th of May ignored cries of "help." Deputy____ stated, "
How can we help everyone that makes those cries! A plea shouldn't go unanswered.
This is my testimony, the 31st day of May 2016, a final writing, despite concern of retaliation.

That is the end of her statement. I continued interviewing the inmate and they will be documented in other
supplement reports. At this time there is nothing further, the recommended case status remains open.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Dave Salaman, #534
On 06/02/16 at approximately 1015 hours, I called and spoke with Commander Goetz at the Jail. I asked him if he
knew about the debrief that had occurred in the women's module after the death. He told me that he had heard
about it, but didn't know who did that and who was in attendance. Commander Goetz told me that he would look
into it and let me know.
I learned from Cmdr. Goetz that Jail nurse Kathleen Ayers was currently working. Melanie Dreiling was out of
state on vacation and would return to work on Monday the 6th. Reneee Sardella starts work tonight at 2200.
I called and spoke with Ashlee Mitchell-Martinez. I told her that I would like to speak with her about what occurred
while she was housed in the Boulder County Jail. She asked me if I was on the Jail side or on Stephanie's side.
I explained to her that I was a neutral party and wanted to get everybody's statement about what occurred. She
told me that she would meet with me, but I would need to go to Denver. She told me that she was busy until
around 1600 hours today. She asked if I could meet her at the park at 5th and Nox in Denver. She asked me to
meet her at the playground so that her kid could play as we talk. I gave her my phone number and asked her to
call if anything changed. At approximately 1323 hours, I received a call from Ashlee. She told me that she would
not be able to make the meeting. She told me that she was going to talk to the family's lawyer first before she
talks to me. I asked her to let me know when and if she would give me a statement. She told me that she would
let me know.
I went over to the Jail and spoke with Sgt Cavin. He told me that he was still working on the video. I asked him to
make sure that he would make a copy of the video to include all the camera views with the time frame that
Anderson was there. He told me that he would call me when all the video was complete.
I went into the medical offices and met with Kathleen Ayers. I sat down with her at 1130 and told her that I wanted
to talk to her about the death that occurred on the 27th. She told me that she didn't get to work until 1500 that
day. She was called to the women's module for an unresponsive female inmate. Melanie Dreiling and herself
were in the office and ran down there only with her stethoscope. When she first entered the room, she noticed
approximately a 1 foot in diameter of light green bile in front of the toilet. She told me that she recognized it to be
slightly diluted bile with a small about of froth on it. Anderson was on her side and the Deputies were trying to
wake her. They rolled her on her back and Kathleen knew that they needed to get her off of the bed and start
CPR. She said they had a difficult time getting her off of the bed because of her size. She said that her head was
supported the entire time so that it didn't hit the floor as they moved her off of the bed. Once Anderson was off of
the bed, she was dragged out into the day room. She radioed for the crash cart to be brought to the day room.
Deputies were performing CPR and Melanie and herself were coaching the Deputies. There was an ambu bag
being used with oxygen. The AED was hooked up to her within the first set of 2 compressions. They attempted to
shock her multiple times and it always said no shock was advised. She told me that after about 5 or 6 rounds of
compressions they needed to perform some suction due to a rattling noise coming from Anderson as they were
giving breaths. She performed the suction and there was a very small amount of brown liquidy flem in her airway.
She couldn't find any other obstructions. They continued CPR until AMR got on scene and they took over.
Once of the paramedics started to look at her watch and started to say that she was going to call it. Sgt. Koger
told her that they had to call it out of the building. They loaded her onto a stretcher and rolled her out of the
module. She told me that Anderson was deceased and not viable. I asked her if they were doing CPR while she
was being moved out, and she told me that she couldn't remember. Kathleen remained in the day room because
there were needles and medicine lying all around. She wanted to keep security of the items. She told me that
they worked on her for about 30 minutes.
I asked her why they didn't call it in the building and she told me that they want to get them out of the building
because that creates a lot of "IR's" and paperwork. They always try and get them to out of the building before
they call it if there is still a chance they would survive. I asked her why they would move Anderson out if she was
not viable, and she told me that they didn't want her in the building. She told me that she has been employed at
the Jail for about 2 years and cannot recall anybody being called deceased in the Jail.
I asked her about typically what occurs when someone gets back from the Hospital. She told me that once they
get the orders from the hospital that they will attempt to do the orders while on the med passes. She told me that

could include checking vital sign and dispensing medicine. They have 3 med passes that are approximately at
0730, 1400 and 1930. She told me that there is also a 0200 check. There is also an early med pass because of
the inmates in programs. When I asked her if about the orders for Anderson, she told me that Anderson
continued to refuse medical so they would not have done any checks on her. I ended my conversation with her at
1151 hours.
Detective Miller called me and asked if I could interview Palmer Pacheco again. She told me that Palmer had
made about 15 calls in the past 4 days using her pin number at the Jail. She told me that she didn't believe that it
was Palmer on the phone. She gave me the names of Harlan, Loraine, Tom and Bill. She asked if I could
question Palmer if she knew any of those people. At 1205 hours I went to the women's module and pulled Palmer
into one of the rooms adjacent to the module. I asked palmer if she has made any phone calls recently. She told
me that the last time she made a phone call from the Jal was around April 26th. I asked her if she gave anybody
permission to use her pin, and she told me that she had not. I asked her if she knew Harlan, Loraine, Tom, or Bill.
She told me that she did not know any of them. I asked her how the phone system works, and she told me that
when you pick up the phone, you have to put in your pin number which is the same as their Jail ID. The phone
system will give you a couple of options to either pay with debit, credit, and collect. Palmer told me that she does
not have any money on her books to make phone calls and told me that she owes between $30 and $60. I
thanked her for talking with me and ended the conversation. I went over and talked with Cmdr. Kaundart and
asked him if he could look up palmer and see how much money she had on her books. He told me that she was
$30 negative at this point.
I then met with Cmdr Goetz. He told me that he got some information about the "debrief" that occurred in the Jail.
He told me that Chris Heinz set up a grief session for the inmates. He explained that Jemiah Kessler, Chris
Randol, and Chris Heinz all participated in the session. He told me that Chris was at the Jail and was expecting
me to come talk with him.
I went over and met with Chris Heinz. Chris explained that some of the inmates in the women's module wanted to
know if they were going to do some type of session for the death that occurred. He usually has a substance
abuse session on Tuesday's at from 1330 to 1500. He talked to Sgt. Trujillo and asked if he could change it from
a substance abuse session to a grief group that would focus on grief counselling from the death. He thought that
was a good idea, so he moved forward. He walked around the module to see if there was a lot of interest which
there was. He told me that Jemiah Kessler and Chris Randol assisted him. He told me that there were 17
attendees from the women's module. They started off by going thru some ground rules. They were to raise their
hand if they had something to share, be respectful to others, and not talk about what happened, only how they
felt. He said that after he gave them all the rules, they split off into 3 groups. They went thru a 7 stages of grief
worksheet. He told me that it was very controlled and the inmates were not allowed to talk about what happened,
only how they were grieving. At the end of the break out session, he brought them all back together as a group
and had them share something positive that they learned or something that has helped them. He told me that it
was a very positive group and was very controlled. He gave me a copy of the worksheet, which I placed in with
the case file. He also gave me a list of the inmates that participated. The following is the list of the participants;

Wingert, Linda
I thanked Chris for his help and ended the conversation.
I left a message for Renee Sardello to call me back. I knew that she was supposed to work starting tonight from
2200 to 0730 on the 3rd. I will go over to the Jail and interview her when I first get in.
On 06/03/16 at approximately 0600 hours, I went over to the Jail to interview Renee. I went into the medical room
and waited for her to return from the early med rounds. She came back at 0625 and I began to speak with her.
She told me that she has been working there for about 6 months. She told me that around 2300 booking called
with someone having chest pains. Herself and Lenny went to booking to check on them. When they first got
there, Anderson was leaning over and complaining of chest pain. Lenny took her blood pressure which was
slightly elevated. They asked Anderson about prior medical problems and she told them she had cardio
myopathy. Anderson did not answer if she was taking any medications. When Anderson was asked if she was
ever hospitalized for her cardio myopathy, she told them that she had a long time ago, but didn't remember what
happened to her. Renee kept talking with her trying to get more information from Anderson and couldn't get
anything else. Lenny checked her blood pressure again and found that it was still elevated, so she talked with
Sgt. Kellison and told him that they Anderson needed to go to the hospital to get checked out. She called Boulder
Community Hospital and talked with Zach who is the intake nurse. She explained to him what they were going to
do. She went back in and told Anderson to tell her what was going to happen. Anderson was lying on the floor
with her feet up on the counter. Anderson did not have a reaction to Renee explaining what was going to happen.
The hospital called and told her that Anderson refused all medical care. Her EKG was normal and she had a
urinary tract infection. When Anderson was brought back from the hospital, Deputy Mitchel gave her the
information from the hospital and the prescriptions. Deputy Mitchel told her that Anderson refused medical
attention while she was there and made suicidal statements. They did do an EKG and diagnosed her with an
urinary tract infection. She told me that Anderson was prescribed 3 medications. One was an antibiotic for the
UTI. There was one for anti-nausea and one to help with urination. Renee was in booking when they brought
Anderson thru. Anderson would not make eye contact with Renee that made her feel like Anderson did not want
to talk. She walked back with them as they brought Anderson into room 21 in the women's module. They were
getting her dressed into the smock and Anderson expressed that she did not want to. Anderson did not fight or
resist physically, just verbally. Once she was dressed in the smock, Anderson got into the bed, she faced away.
Renee did not talk to her at that point. Renee went back to the women's module between 0430 and 0500 to do
the morning med run for the program inmates. Renee did not check on Anderson and nobody said anything to
her that she needed any medical attention.
I asked Renee if Anderson would have received any medication from her prescriptions. She told me that
Anderson was never screened in by medical because she was at the hospital when that occurred with the other
inmates. She told me that they will not give any medications to inmates, until the screening was done. Once
dayshift came in they passed the information on Anderson to them. On the night of the 27th, Melanie Dreiling
called her to come into the office to do her report and what happened. Renee explained that it was typical if
someone was on suicide protocol that they would not get seen by medical until mental health had talked with her.
I was told that it could take around 24 hours from someone returning from the hospital to be seen by medical staff.
I ended the interview with Renee at 0652.
I will follow up with mental health to see if anybody went to talk with her.
On 06/03/16 at approximately 1130 hours, I went back to the Jail to complete interviews with Jemiah Kessler and
Chris Randall. I first talked with Chris Hines. I asked him if he had gone to see Anderson at any time, and he told
me that he had not. I asked him if he had records of what they talked about during the grief group that was held
on the 31st, and he told me that he had written up a document about the group. He said that this went with the 7
stages of grief outline he gave me the previous day. I placed a copy of the document in with the case file.
At 1143 hours, I talked with Jemiah. He told me that he was one of 3 councilors that did the grief group. He told

Narrative
me that he was expecting me to talk to him because Chris has told him to expect me. He told me that Chris was
the lead person in the group. I asked him what the rules were before the session started, and he told me he could
remember some of them. The first one was for them not to speak about past trauma. He explained that if the
inmates talked about previous trauma they would start trying to one up each other. Another rule was
confidentiality and to share talk time. There was also no violence allowed. Once they were broken out into
groups, he took 6 inmates. They went thru the stages of grief and what they were going thru right now. He told
me that there was a lot of anger from the inmates and all had a common theme that they were concerned about
their safety. Another inmate stated that she was calling for help for several hours and she died. He told me that
he kept redirecting them to keep them on track. He told me that it did not become a complaint session and
nobody mentioned any names. He told me that after they were done they all got back into a big group and they
talked about they processed and something they were looking forward to. Jemiah did not remember anything else
noteworthy. He told me that it was a positive session for the inmates.
I then went to talk to Pam Levett who is one o the mental health workers at the Jail. I asked her when they
typically see an inmate that is on suicide protocol. She told me that they like to see them after court. She told me
that if they see them before court, everything might appear to be okay until then. After court they can become
upset again and have to do another evaluation. That is why they wait until after. She told me that she
remembered Anderson and she was on her list to see. She did not make it to see her before her death. I asked
her if they had to see an inmate on suicide protocol before medical would check them out. She explained that
Melanie has been working on changing that and that they tried to not get anybody back into the Jail without going
thru the medical screening process.
I learned that Chris Randall was not available when I was there and would be returning to work on Monday.

Narrative
Reporting Detective J Shuler #540
On 060116, I attended a meeting with Detective Commander Rick Brough, Sergeant Brian Zierlein, Detectives
Polly Miller, Chris Fiegel, Paul Dunphy and Crime Analyst Dave Rogers. We discussed the unattended death at
the jail and were tasked with follow up assignments. I was asked to contact the victim's (Stephanie Anderson)
sister Juanita Craine who called and spoke with Jail Deputy Jud Vaughn. During that phone call Juanita was
cooperative with Deputy Vaughn and thanked him for his time. I later attempted several times to call her on the
number provided
however it was disconnected.
I was also asked to contact Leann Garcia who was quoted by the Denver Post as saying the following:
"I know my friend was crying for help," said Leann Garcia, a long-time friend of Anderson's. "She was very loud,
always. She let her presence be known."
I was able to find a phone number for Leann through
and spoke with her. During our phone call she advised
she and Stephanie had been friends since they were 11 years old. They remained friends through school until
they stopped talking a few years ago. Since then they have begun talking again. She said they talk on the phone,
text and visit with one another daily when she is in town.
I asked if she knew anything about Stephanie's health. She said she knew she had heart problems but didn't
know how long that had been going on. A few years ago Stephanie complained of "heart pain" and was
transported to the hospital. She was ultimately diagnosed with a heart condition and prescribed medication. She
couldn't remember when that happened and believed she was transported to Denver Health. Since then she
"regularly" goes to Porter's Hospital. Leann added she thought Stephanie also had problems with her kidneys
which involved possible kidney stones and/or cysts on her kidneys.
The last time she saw Stephanie was on Mother's day for a barbeque with her children ages 4 or 5, 8 and 10.
That day Stephanie seemed fine and did not complain about any health problems. The last time she heard about
Stephanie going to the hospital was Easter this year. Stephanie was at her friend's house which Leann would
only identify as "Misty". Stephanie was taken to the hospital and admitted for a few days. Leann said Stephanie's
lab work indicated she was having a heart attack. I asked how she knew this and she said Stephanie told her.
I asked about her statement to the media about her friend calling for help. She said she knows how Stephanie is
and that if her heart hurt, she would have called out for help and been loud. She described Stephanie as a loud

Narrative
person who was happy and made her presence known. I asked if Stephanie used drugs or alcohol and she said
she did not and rarely drank. She did not have any previous suicide attempts and was not suicidal. I asked how
she could be sure and she said Stephanie was very concerned for her health and her heart.
Leann said she did not hear from Stephanie while she was in jail but that Stephanie called Misty to have her bond
her out. I asked how the inmates called her and Stephanie's family. At first she included herself and said people
were just calling them. When I asked what they said she clarified and told me she did not receive any calls, it was
just Stephanie's family. She assumed they found their information on Facebook "or something".
Leann did not have any information for Tino or Juanita and added Juanita is Tino's sister not Stephanie's.
I left Leann with my contact information and asked her to call if she had any questions.
I continued to look for phone numbers for Tino and Juanita however was unable to do so.
Later that afternoon I was asked to contact Harlan Smith. Detective Sergeant Brian Lindsey advised Harlan
attended the Boulder County Commissioner's meeting the day before and mentioned Stephanie's death. They
were curious how he knew about her death and if he knew Stephanie. I called and left a message for Harlan
asking him to call me.
Harlan called a short time later and told me he had a call in to his friends at the FBI and wasn't sure he should talk
to me. I told him I understood he had concerns about the jail and asked if he would tell me about those. He said
he has a friend in our jail and is concerned for her wellbeing as well as the other inmates. He did not know
Stephanie but heard she was in the cell calling for help and no one would help her. He also heard when the
deputy was making the rounds, Stephanie asked for help and he told her, "no habla ingles".
Harlan said the inmates are mistreated, had a "whole litany of stuff", "not a happy camper" and wanted to file a
civil rights suit. He also heard Stephanie's cell was recently painted and was concerned with the fumes and the
chemicals in the paint.
During our conversation Harlan said he saw and heard about the mistreatment, however everything he told me
appeared to be things he heard. I asked who he talked to and he refused to answer. He said he thought it would
be safe to talk in a few days after he spoke with his friends in the FBI.
I talked to Detective Fiegel who later checked the visitor's log from the jail and noticed Harlan had not been in
since September 2015. Detective Miller also checked Harlan's phone number through the jail phone call system
which showed no incoming or outgoing calls.
On 060216, I attended another meeting to determine other follow up. I was asked to contact Deputy Sharon
McKim and Jail Deputy Kathy Spurgeon. Upon contacting Deputy McKim she told me the following:
She was dispatched to Ulta on the report of a shoplifting. Upon arrival she saw Stephanie and Ashlee walking
away together and called out to them. Stephanie stopped and allowed Deputy McKim to contact her. Deputy
McKim said she recognized Stephanie from other theft reports at Ulta and asked her who her friend was and who
owned the vehicle. Stephanie refused to answer, however Ashlee came back to deputies and was ultimately
taken into custody.
Stephanie did not have her driver's license on her; therefore she verbally identified herself. Deputy McKim
described her as "overall very quiet" and "passive". She did not ask Stephanie if she wanted to be interviewed
and took her demeanor to mean she didn't want to talk. I asked if she complained about feeling ill or her heart
hurting. She said she did not and appeared to be fine. Deputy McKim specifically said Stephanie was not
sweating, breathing hard and "nothing alarmed me." I asked if she pat searched Stephanie prior to placing her in
the patrol vehicle. She said she couldn't remember and that it was either or Deputy Les Harrison.
Deputy McKim called me again a short time after ending our conversation and told me she did pat search
Stephanie. She said Stephanie had a lighter in her back pocket which she tossed onto the ground. She told
Stephanie she would not be allowed to take it into the jail and placed it in a bag Stephanie was carrying. The bag
was left in the vehicle and the vehicle was left in the parking lot. I asked if Stephanie had a phone on her and she
said she couldn't remember. I asked what she was wearing and she said she couldn't remember. The only thing

Narrative
she could remember was that she was "showing a lot" because her shirt was pulled up from the bottom and her
stomach was showing.
I then called and spoke with Jail Deputy Spurgeon which was audio recorded. I advised why I was calling and
asked if she would mind speaking with me about what she witnessed Friday. 052716 and she told me the
following;
She arrived at the jail cell around 1:05 pm to collect Stephanie to take her to court. As she approached the cell
she could hear Stephanie snoring which she described as "very loud". She had heard other people snore like that
before and did not have any concerns for her wellbeing. Deputy Spurgeon attempted to call out to Stephanie
approximately 3 times however she did not answer. She also heard Stephanie did not feel well the night before
and thought she would let her rest in order to feel better.
Stephanie was lying on her back, wearing a suicide smock with the blanket pulled towards her chest area. She
watched Stephanie sleep and could see her chest rise and lower. While she looked in the cell she noticed items
on the floor and a yellow colored puddle on the near the toilet. She did not describe this as vomit and said she did
not see any vomit. I asked how long she thought she was at the cell and she estimated it was less than a minute
but no more than a minute.
As she stood there the inmate in cell number 22 told her "I think she's dead." Deputy Spurgeon told her she was
not dead, that she was sleeping and snoring. She estimated the inmate "Nicole" was approximately 6 cm from
her face when she made the statement. I asked why Nicole thought she was dead and Deputy Spurgeon advised
she has mental health issues and has been transported to the state mental health facility a number of times.
I asked if she's ever chosen not to take an inmate to court and she said typically the inmate will verbally refuse,
therefore the decision was typical and she thought Stephanie would go to court on Monday.
A copy of the interview was later turned into evidence under item #JAS1.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Chris Fiegel, #541
On the morning of June 2, 2016, I was assigned to drive to the Washington County Detention Facility located in
Akron, Colorado, to interview two inmates that had been transferred from the Boulder County Sheriff's Office to
that facility. These inmates were identified as Deanna Trujillo, date of birth 06/13/62, and Elana McBruide, date of
birth 11/06/88. I arrived at the detention facility at approximately 1115 hours and met with Lieutenant Gerard
O'Halloran. While speaking with Lieutenant O'Halloran, he made arrangements for jail deputies to bring me both
of the female inmates one at a time. He also provided me with an interview room with video capabilities.
The first inmate I spoke with was Deanna Trujillo. She informed me that she had just recently been transferred
from the Boulder County Jail up to Washington County. She stated that while she was at the Boulder County Jail
she resided in cell #28. I asked her if she was familiar with Stephanie Anderson and she stated that she was not.
I asked her if she was aware or had any information on the female inmate that had died last Friday and she
stated that she had heard about it, but really didn't have much information. Deanna described herself to be a
loaner and she kept to herself. She stated that she spent most of her time in her room. Deanna did state that one
inmate had stated that a girl had been screaming for help for an hour and did not receive any help.
I asked Deanna what had happened that day or if she was aware of any of the medical issues that had arisen, she
stated that she was not aware of any. She also stated that once medical and other backup officers were
responding to Women's, that they were placed on lockdown.
I also asked Deanna if she had noticed anything odd about Boulder County Jail and she stated that their
communication is lacking. She stated that a lot of jails have pushbuttons inside the module and if anybody is
having a medical condition they can push it. She stated that it was hard to get any jail deputy's attention because
they do not have that. She also complained about the jail having lots of spiders and that the facility is evasive and
cruel. Deanna did not really elaborate on what she meant by that. She also stated that she does not believe that
it is being supervised properly, but added that was only her opinion.
Deanna did not have any other information relevant to the death of Stephanie Anderson. She emphasized that
she does not pay much attention and stays mostly in her room.
The next person I spoke with was Elana McBruide. She stated that she was transferred to Washington County
prior to the incident. Elana stated that it was last Wednesday or Thursday when she was transferred up to
Washington County and was not in the module at the time. She states she had been there for approximately a
week and a half prior to that. She did state that there was a blond haired lady in room #8 or #9 that was
continually knocking on the door saying that she was dying. She stated that this was the night before and no one
got any sleep because this lady kept everybody up.
Elana overall did not have any information reference the incident involving Stephanie Anderson dying. She did
state that she had heard from Alicia Barton, who is currently in LCTC, that a woman was asking for help and had
been dead for at least an hour. I asked her if she had firsthand knowledge of this or if this was only information
she had heard from another inmate. She stated that it was only information that she had heard. She also stated
that Alicia Barton had made comments that Stephanie Anderson was coming off of pills, but did not elaborate as
to what type of pills. I did ask her if the deputies on duty spent much time in the module and she stated that they
did not; they spent most of their time in their work area. Again, because Elana was not present at the time of the
death, she did not have much information to provide.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Joshua Bonafede, #549
On 06/01/2016 at approximately 0730 hours, I, Detective Joshua Bonafede, badge #549, arrived at the Boulder
County Sheriff's Office to begin my shift. I saw Detective Sergeant Brian Lindsey, Detective Don Dillard, and
Detective Dave Salaman in the detective conference room. Sergeant Lindsey asked me to step in and informed
me we had some follow-up to do on a case. According to Sergeant Lindsey, a party by the name of Harlan Smith
had gone to a Boulder County Commissioners' meeting and said that the inmate who died in the jail on May 27th,
Stephanie Anderson, had asked a deputy for assistance prior to her dying. Sergeant Lindsey stated that
according to Harlan, that deputy refused to give Stephanie assistance and had made a comment that he did not
speak English saying, "Sorry, no habla English."
Sergeant Lindsey gave me copies of several of the jail incident reports. They are documented under incident
number 16-2182. Among these incident reports was one that was completed by Deputy Deb Clem who was
assigned the Women's Module the day Stephanie died. In that report, she advised that she left the module for a
lunch break between 1200 hours and 1255 hours, and that Deputy Heck replaced her. She stated that Deputy
Spurgeon, badge #1463, arrived at the Women's Module at approximately 1305 hours to get Inmate Stephanie
Anderson for court, and Deputy Spurgeon entered the module and then the Sub Day Room. She returned to the
station and stated that Anderson was sleeping like a baby and she was not going to wake her for court. Deputy
Clem stated she was in the Sub Day Room shortly thereafter and saw Anderson lying on her back and heard her
snoring.
Further down in the report, Deputy Clem states Nurse Jackie Arias entered the module to conduct medication
rounds at 1514 hours. This was concluded at 1533 hours. At approximately 1546 hours, Deputy Clem noticed a
welfare check was needed and entered the module, and went straight the Sub Day Room and to cell #21 where
Stephanie Anderson was housed. According to Deputy Clem's report, Inmate Anderson was lying on her right

side facing away from the cell door. She called her name several times and she did not stir. She began to shine
the beam of light from her flashlight across her back to try to indicate if she was breathing and said it was difficult
to see movement. She continued to call her name and then began taking the keys and tapping on the door loudly.
Deputy Stephanie Gonzales was in the officer workstation and Deputy Clem notified her to open the door.
Deputy Clem entered the cell and shook Stephanie Anderson's shoulder and there was no response, at which
point she radioed for medical for an unresponsive woman in cell #21.
Sergeant Lindsey asked Detective Dillard, Detective Salaman, and myself respond to the Boulder County Jail and
begin interviewing the inmates in the same housing unit as Stephanie Anderson. He wanted to know if they saw
or heard anything and if they ever saw or heard a deputy tell Stephanie Anderson that they did not speak English.
He also wanted to make sure we had copies of the video from inside the housing unit and to figure out why
Stephanie Anderson was put on suicide protocol.
Detective Dillard, Detective Salaman, and myself arrived at the jail and met with the staff there. Sergeant Mike
Caven advised he would get the video that was requested and put it on a jump drive for us to take back to
headquarters to review. We responded to the housing unit area where Detective Dillard advised he would
interview Charlene VonSchlesien. We believe Charlene has a connection to Harlan Smith and is the one who
spoke with Harlan Smith about the incident involving Stephanie Anderson. Detective Dillard stated that he would
start with Charlene and then we would regroup and see who else we needed to interview. Detective Salaman and
I decided to start with Naomi Rodriguez and her roommate, Alexis Wilson, because they are next door to
Stephanie Anderson's room in cell #20.
Detective Salaman and myself brought Naomi into a conference room at approximately 0843 hours. I started the
interview by explaining who we were and asked her how long she had been at the Boulder County Jail. She
informed me she had been at the jail since March 26th and had primarily been in cell #20. I asked her to explain
the events of the day that Stephanie Anderson died. Naomi stated she got up approximately 0400 hours or 0500
hours for breakfast, which is usually served at 0500 hours. She heard yelling in the bubble, which is what they call
the housing unit where the special needs inmates or inmates on suicide watch are housed. That housing unit is
several cells that are within the main housing unit where the other women are kept. The women in the bubble
were yelling because a woman was moved to another cell upstairs in cell #10. They were all very upset and
yelling because the woman who was moved into cell #10 had been screaming that she believed she was going to
die and that her life was over. All the other women were upset with her because she was waking them up. They
kept telling her to be quiet and to lock her door and that this was jail. Naomi believed the woman was moved to
cell #10 because they were making room for a new inmate to be moved into cell #21, which she later found out
was Stephanie Anderson. She believes Stephanie was moved into cell #21 somewhere between 5:00 and 6:00 in
the morning. When Stephanie first went into cell #21, she was quiet until approximately 7:00 or 8:00 in the
morning. Naomi states she then heard Stephanie throwing up and it sounded like she was coming off of drugs
because she was throwing up so much. Stephanie and another inmate, who we later found out all of the other
female inmates had a problem with named Nicole Genova began yelling at each other.
Throughout the course of this investigation, it has become evident that Nicole Genova is a big instigator of
problems within the women's housing unit. Nicole Genova has a lot of mental health issues and screams things at
the other women throughout the housing unit and according to the inmates we interviewed, Nicole Genova makes
them all feel ill because of the things she tells them. Naomi believed that the woman who moved up into cell #10
who had previously been in cell #21 was the way she was because she and Nicole Genova kept yelling at each
other. According to Naomi, Nicole yells at all hours of the night and day, and says horrific things to all the women.
Whenever Stephanie Anderson got sick at approximately 7:00 or 8:00 in the morning, Nicole and she began
yelling at each other. Stephanie told Nicole to "Shut the fuck up, people are sleeping." Naomi stated that she
could hear Stephanie throwing up off and on until approximately 1300 hours. At approximately 1100 or 1200
hours, she asked a male guard for help. She believed the male guard was in the housing unit because the female
guard had been on lunch and she did not see her do any checks after 1030 hours. I asked Naomi to clarify when
she heard Stephanie Anderson ask for help, and she said she guessed it was between 10:30 and 11:00 when she
heard knocking on cell #21, and Stephanie saying she did not feel right. She did not believe the male guard was
doing the checks with the electric wand, but was inside the housing unit walking around. She heard Stephanie
banging several times, saying excuse me, I don't feel well. She believed this continued for approximately seven

minutes and then heard her go back and throw up for a couple more minutes. She did not hear anything further
from Stephanie Anderson. She believes she heard the female guard come in at approximately 1300 hours and
attempt to wake Stephanie up, which is when she was found deceased. Naomi estimates that the time she last
heard Stephanie Anderson to the time she was found by jail staff was approximately 30 minutes. My interview
with Naomi ended at approximately 0906 hours.
I next interviewed Naomi's roommate, Alexis Wilson. That interview began at 0910 hours in the same interview
room that Naomi was interviewed in. According to Alexis, she has been at the Boulder County Jail since the end
of April and has been in cell #20 for the last four weeks. There was some confusion during the interview with
Alexis because she has a difficult time keeping track of day and night, and the hours of the day. I had to work
hard to try to equate things to the routines within the jail such as lunch, breakfast, dinner, and rec time. According
to Alexis, she reads every night until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning because she can't sleep because Nicole Genova
is constantly yelling. She stated that the girl who moved to cell #10 had been up for two nights and two days
yelling at Genova to be quiet. She had stated several times she was going to die in the jail and that the jail was
killing her. Genova would egg her on and say horrible things to her. On the particular morning that Stephanie
Anderson passed away, Alexis advised she woke up around 0400 hours and went to the bathroom and began
reading again. She was waiting for breakfast, which was served at 0500 hours. She ate breakfast from 0500
hours to 0530 hours and then locked down so the other side of the housing unit could eat from 0530 hours to
0600 hours. Alexis believes she was locked down until 0900 hours, but wasn't sure. She later stated she was
locked down from 0530 hours until 1330 hours. She stated she was reading doing exercises the majority of that
time, and that Naomi was making paper stars and hearts out of paper that she brought for her. Alexis stated that
Stephanie Anderson and Nicole Genova began to "go at it" between 1130 and 1200 hours. Anderson was getting
sick and yelling at Genova, saying she had heart problems. At this point in the interview, Alexis began to explain
how every girl who has been in unit #21 next to Nicole Genova always yelled and begged for officers to help them
because Genova would drive them crazy. She stated Genova is a constant problem in the housing unit and that
she says the most horrible things to all the girls about eating babies and doing horrible things to the girls. She
believed Stephanie Anderson was yelling for the guard to help her to get her out of the unit next to Genova.
Alexis stated every girl who is in unit #21 yells for the guards to get them out of there.
Alexis stated that Clem went on lunch and she actually saw the male officer in the housing unit going around
doing checks. Alexis stated she did not hear anything from Anderson after breakfast, but I believe this is when
her time frame got mixed up and she confused the day with the night. She went on to tell me that between
midnight and 1:30 in the morning is when she heard Deputy Clem come back in, which could not be correct
because we know Deputy Clem was not working at that time. I tried to clarify this and she stated that she was
sure it was between midnight and 1:30 in the morning. She went on to state that Genova and Anderson got into it
the night before Anderson passed away, and when I asked her what time she believed Anderson passed away,
she stated she believed it was around midnight to 1:30 in the morning. She did state that she heard a male
deputy tell Anderson "I don't speak English" sometime after lunch. She also heard Anderson saying help, she
was sick and wanted out of there. Alexis again explained that she believed Anderson was saying that because
every girl in that unit asked to be moved because Nicole Genova drives them crazy. At the same time that
Anderson and Genova are yelling at each other and Anderson is yelling for the guard, she heard the girl in #10
also yelling and saying she's going to die, and also calling for the deputies. The way Alexis explained it, it was a
very chaotic housing unit with a lot of girls yelling and making noise, which is very common according to Alexis.
Because of Alexis' difficult time keeping track of day and night, I was not able to lock down a specific time that she
heard Stephanie Anderson asking for help. I was also not able to determine the last time she heard Stephanie
Anderson making any noise.
In the Booking area, we were able to meet with Nurse Jackie Arias, who was the nurse who did the medical
rounds the day Stephanie Anderson died. According to Nurse Arias, she does not recall Deputy Heck doing the
walkthrough during the second med rounds. She stated Genova was loud and yelling, which is very typical. She
did state that the housing unit was somewhat quiet compared to other days even though Genova was making
noise. Nurse Jackie stated she does not recall Anderson during the second med pass because she does not give
her medication. She did remember seeing Anderson during the first med pass awake, standing at the door.
Whenever the medical alert was called to unit #21, Nurse Jackie did respond with the crash cart, and when she
entered the housing unit they were doing CPR on Stephanie Anderson in front of unit #22. Nurse Jackie stated

Narrative
she looked pale and white, but she did not touch her, she only helped with suctioning.
Detective Dillard spoke with Sergeant Brian Zierlein who stated he wanted all the inmates in the housing unit
interviewed, not just the ones directly around Stephanie Anderson's cell. We went back to the housing unit and
compiled a list of all the inmates who were in the housing unit at the time Stephanie Anderson died, and began
interviewing those inmates.
I next interviewed Inmate Dawn Brock, date of birth 03/20/75. I began this interview at 1342 hours in the same
interview room I had previously interviewed the other inmates. Dawn informed me that she came to the Boulder
County Jail sometime around May 25th, but she is not sure on the exact date. She told me that she originally was
staying in room #21, which is the same one that Stephanie Anderson was staying in. She stated she had a
difficult time sleeping and would freak out because she was locked down so much, and thought she was going
crazy being locked in the cell for so long. According to Dawn, she used to yell for guards to help her and said she
was getting sick and needed to go to the hospital constantly, and was ignored by the corrections deputies. Dawn
stated that on the morning Stephanie Anderson was brought into the housing unit, she was moved into unit #10.
She never saw Stephanie Anderson come into the housing unit, and only heard her yelling that she was sick and
needed to go to the hospital. I asked her if she specifically knew which time frame she heard Stephanie yelling
and she stated she did not, that she just heard her yelling continuously over and over again. I asked her if she
heard anything else from Stephanie as far as throwing up or being sick, and she stated she did not. I asked Dawn
if she ever saw or heard Stephanie speaking with any deputy, and she stated that she did not see or hear any
deputy speak with Stephanie and that she believed the deputies were ignoring Stephanie. She did not hear
Nicole and Stephanie yelling at each other, but does believe they were because everybody yells at Nicole. I
asked Dawn what kind of relationship she had with Nicole when she was staying in unit #21, and she stated that
Nicole would say horrible things to her and they would yell at each other constantly.
It was difficult to get any specifics from Dawn because she did not have a good time frame on when anything
occurred. Dawn was not able to tell me what time she believed Stephanie died or what time she was taken out of
the housing unit. All Daw would state is that she believed shewas going crazy when she was locked down in
#21 and that this place will make you crazy. She said she was very traumatized by the whole ordeal because the
things Stephanie was yelling about being sick and needing to go to the hospital were the same things she had
been yelling when she came in. Dawn did tell me that she had to have Boulder County Mental Health come and
give her some medication because she was so traumatized by the passing of Stephanie and seeing the whole
thing. Dawn also stated that she thinks the resuscitation of Stephanie took too long and that it seemed like it was
a long time before medical help got to Stephanie. Dawn could not give me any specifics about this other than she
stated it took too long. The interview of Dawn Brock was concluded at 1400 hours.
The next inmate I met with was Jennifer Burchett, date of birth 02/03/72. I met with Jennifer at approximately
1400 hours in the same interview room that I met the other inmates in. Jennifer informed me she had been
incarcerated since December 27, 2015. She has always been housed in cell #7. According to Jennifer, she did
not hear or see anything when Stephanie Anderson was brought in on Thursday. She states the first time she
heard anything from Stephanie Anderson was at approximately 1330 hours during the med cart runs. According
to Jennifer, the med cart was in front of #21 and the officer was standing there with the med cart. The inmates
came down and got their meds, at which point she started going up to her room and heard who she believes was
Stephanie Anderson say she needed help. She then heard the girl in #22, identified as Nicole Genova, tell
Stephanie Anderson to kill herself. Jennifer stated that Nicole is a constant problem in the housing unit and is
always telling people to kill themselves. Jennifer wanted to make sure that it was clear to me that she was not a
hundred percent sure it was Stephanie who was asking for help. Jennifer stated it could have been Nicole stating
she needed help and also telling herself to kill herself. She did state that Genova was taunting Anderson and
Genova always yells at everyone. Jennifer stated that she does not believe Genova killed Anderson, but thinks
she was neglected and she should have been checked every 15 minutes. Jennifer did state that Deputy Clem
came in and did welfare checks and that Deputy Heck did shine his light in the bubble and checked the inmates
inside the bubble, but did not go into the bubble because Genova was naked and he did not want to see her
naked. I asked Jennifer if she ever saw or heard Stephanie Anderson speak with any of the deputies and she
stated she did not. She stated she really did not have a lot of interaction with Stephanie Anderson and had only
heard her the one time say she needed help during the med runs, and she can't even be a hundred percent sure it

was Stephanie who stated she needed help. This interview concluded at 1415 hours.
At approximately 1425 hours, I interviewed Inmate Carrie Golden, date of birth 12/04/72, who has been here since
March 31st. According to Carrie, she is housed in cell #5 and has been the entire time she has been at the
Boulder County Sheriff's Office Jail. At approximately 2000 to 2100 hours on the evening of the 26th, she saw
Stephanie Anderson brought into the housing unit. Stephanie Anderson did not say or have any interaction with
Carrie at this time. Carrie stated that she woke up on the morning of the 27th at approximately 0500 hours and
did not hear anything from Stephanie, and just got her breakfast and then locked down at 0530 hours. Carrie
stated that she went back to sleep and woke up again between 0730 hours and 0800 hours. I asked Carrie if she
ever heard Stephanie during this time frame. She informed me that between Genova and the girl who is
constantly yelling in cell #10, she has learned to tune out all the girls who are yelling. She stated that on Friday
evening between 1800 and 1900 hours, which it appears her time frame is mixed up, she states she did hear
Anderson calling for help. I confirmed with Carrie that it was Friday evening between 1800 and 1900 hours and
not Thursday, and she said yes, that it was Friday evening between 1800 and 1900 hours she heard Anderson
calling "Guard, help." I asked Carrie if she saw a deputy approach Anderson's room and she informed me that
her cell is directly above Anderson's cell, so she could not see if the guard was there speaking with her or
approached to help her. She did state that the guards were doing their regular checks and they may have been
checking on her at that time. She stated that she did hear the girl in cell #10 yelling that she was dying and that
she needed help, and that she had been yelling the same thing all week long, and that the guards and deputies
were frustrated by the girl in #10. She believes that may be why they did not respond to Anderson if they did not
respond to her at all. She stated the guards had been very frustrated by all the yelling from Genova and the girl in
#10, that they may have skipped going to Anderson's door when she was calling for help. I asked Carrie how
long Anderson was yelling for and she said approximately 30 minutes, but she couldn't be sure if she was hearing
Carrie yell or Genova or the girl in #10. All she heard was somebody yelling for help and loud banging. She
believed the banging could have been coming from Genova who likes to bang on the table in her cell, which
rattles throughout the housing unit. Carrie stated that she did not have any further information to assist me in this
investigation. This interview was concluded at 1439 hours.
At 1450 hours, I met with Inmate Philecia Lewis, date of birth 03/12/92. Philecia has been housed at the Boulder
County Jail since May 24th, and has been staying in cell #9 during the incident with Stephanie Anderson.
According to Philecia, she did not see or hear Stephanie Anderson come in on the evening of the 26th. She
stated everybody in the bubble makes a lot of noise and she never heard Stephanie Anderson specifically calling
for help or saying that she was sick or that she needed to go to the hospital. She also stated that it takes a lot to
get an officer's attention and that she does believe Stephanie Anderson was most likely ignored by the officers
because they do not pay attention to people's needs. I asked Philecia if she had anything specific about
Stephanie Anderson and she stated she did not, and that she just had complaints about the way they were
dehumanized and treated by the deputies. The interview with Philecia Lewis was concluded at 1452 hours.
I next began my interview with Inmate Jennifer Metcalf at approximately 1455 hours. Jennifer's date of birth is
05/04/94, and she has been housed at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Jail for approximately one month.
During this time she has been housed in room #11. Jennifer stated that she was in a class across the hall
whenever Stephanie Anderson died and was taken out on a stretcher. She stated she did not see Stephanie
Anderson and had zero contact with her. She stated she never heard her crying out for help or asking a deputy to
go to the hospital. Jennifer stated that between Genova screaming and the girl in #10 constantly yelling for help
and saying she was dying, she has learned to tune out all the girls who are yelling for help. Jennifer stated she
really does not have anything to add to the investigation. The interview was concluded at 1507 hours.
The next inmate I interviewed was Haley Price, date of birth 03/10/90. She has been at the Boulder County Jail
since January 28th of 2016. She has primarily been housed in cell #7 and is currently a trustee. According to
Haley, she never saw Stephanie Anderson come in on the 26th. She believes they were on lockdown when she
came into the housing unit. Haley did state that because she is a trustee, she is out of her cell a lot and did hear
her crying for a large portion of Friday, the 27th. She states she first heard her crying around 1200 hours, and she
was also puking and throwing up. Haley stated that Deputy Clem went on a lunch break and Deputy Heck
replaced her. Haley said she was sitting at a table writing her boyfriend when Deputy Heck came in to do welfare
checks. She said normally Deputy Heck does not go into the bubble; he only shines a flashlight from outside, but

Narrative
on this particular occasion he did go into the bubble. Stephanie Anderson was in the bubble and was asking
Deputy Heck for help. I asked Haley to describe how she was asking for help and Haley said, "Please officer, I
need help" in a very whiny voice. At this point Haley stated Deputy Heck left the bubble and was laughing out
loud, saying "No officers Espanola." I asked Haley if she was sure the "No officers Espanola" was directed at
Anderson and not another inmate such as Genova? Haley told me Genova was actually quiet during that time and
she is sure the comment was directed at Anderson. He was mimicking her whinny tone of voice when he said it.
Deputy Heck left the housing unit and a short time later Deputy Clem returned from lunch. Deputy Clem was
doing a welfare check and Genova began yelling that Anderson was dead in a kidding tone of voice. Haley
believes Genova was completely kidding and that she did not really believe Anderson was dead. Deputy Clem
told Genova to be quiet and that Anderson was not dead. At this point, Deputy Clem began banging on the door
trying to arouse Anderson and found her unconscious. Haley told me after Anderson was moved from the cell,
they told her to go in and clean up the cell. She went into the cell and saw neon green throw-up everywhere and
because she is not biohazard certified, informed them that she would not clean up the cell. Haley believes
Anderson was very sick because of all the vomit everywhere. I asked Haley if she had anything further she
wanted to add to the report, and she informed me that she believes this jail is out of control and that there is only
staff member for 67 females with different classifications. This interview was concluded at 1524 hours.
At 1525 hours, I began my next interview with Inmate Adriana Sanchez, date of birth 09/08/80. Adriana came into
the Boulder County Jail the same date that Stephanie Anderson came in, which was May 26, 2016. Adriana
informed me that she came into Booking and Stephanie Anderson was already in Booking with one of her friends.
They were all housed in one cell in Booking and there were four girls in the cell when Adriana entered the cell,
which made her the fifth girl. She remembers talking briefly with Anderson about being in jail and Anderson
asking Adriana if she talks jokingly and Adriana being sarcastic and stating that she is a mute when she comes to
jail. According to Adriana, none of the conversation had any type of substance. Adriana stated that she then
went back to sleep and remembers waking up hearing Anderson throwing up and vomiting. Adriana stated they
took Anderson away and she did not know where they took her. Adriana stated that she did not see or hear
Anderson when she came into the housing unit on the night of the 26th. She also did not see or hear her at all on
the 27th, and stated she was on lockdown whenever Anderson died in her cell and did not see any of the guards
checking on her. Adriana also stated that she is dealing with her own problems right now and has kept to herself
since coming to the jail, and has not been paying attention to any of the routines around the jail. This interview
was concluded at 1537 hours.
The next inmate I interviewed was at 1540 hours, and that was Inmate Kimberly Surls, date of birth 03/26/94.
Kimberly stated she has been at the Boulder County Jail since April 15th and is housed in cell #1. Kimberly stated
she remembers Stephanie Anderson coming into the housing unit on Thursday the 26th, and that she believes
Stephanie was wearing jeans and not dressed out like the rest of them. She thought it was odd that Stephanie
was wearing jeans and placed in the bubble, and at first she believed she was a cop because of her dress.
Kimberly stated she went to bed and woke up at approximately 0430 hours for breakfast. She was locked down
and was eventually let out during the morning, but she cannot remember what time. She stated it was her side of
the pod's time to be out and that she was out for a good part of the morning. Kimberly stated that she never heard
Anderson calling for help or speaking with any of the corrections officers. She stated that the only thing she
found concerning was after medical had been called to the scene and they were doing chest compressions, it took
them a long time to get Stephanie out of the housing unit. She also stated that she does not believe that deputies
do a good job checking inmates inside the bubble. She stated she was in the bubble for approximately one week
and it took them four days before she was allowed to see any type of mental health person. I asked Kimberly if
there was anything that directly relates to Stephanie with her complaints as far as Stephanie asking for help and
not getting it, and she informed me there was not. The interview with Kimberly was concluded at 1548 hours.
The next interview I did was with Inmate Heather Thomas at 1550 hours. Heather Thomas' date of birth is
11/28/76, and she had been at the Boulder County Jail since May 13, 2016, and she is housed in cell #17.
According to Heather, she saw Stephanie Anderson come into the bubble on the night of the 26th and did not see
what she was wearing or how she was dressed. She stated that Stephanie whined throughout most of the night
and kept saying she felt sick and like she was dying. I asked Heather what time she woke up the next morning
and she informed me she skipped breakfast and did not wake up until approximately 1000 hours. She stated that

Narrative
she read for a short time and then went out and played cards sometime between 1015 and 1030 hours, just
before lunch. She said Stephanie Anderson was still whining and that she didn't really hear what she was saying
until approximately 1400 or 1500 hours when she heard Stephanie crying, saying she was dying again.
Sometime between 1500 and 1530 hours, she heard Anderson talking to a male corrections officer and said
something along the effects of "Something's wrong, I feel like I'm dying." She heard the corrections officer
respond with "No habla English." Heather informed me that it was very easy for her to hear what was going on in
Stephanie's room and that the noise traveled easily into her room. I asked Heather if she remembers Stephanie
saying anything else and she stated she did not. She stated she just cried a lot, and was very sick and throwing
up a lot. I asked Heather if there was anything else she wanted to add, and she informed me she just felt very
traumatized by the whole ordeal and seeing them drag Stephanie's body out of the housing unit. She stated she
keeps hearing the defibrillator going off in her head, and that she has had a hard time sleeping since the incident.
The interview was concluded at approximately 1601 hours.
At approximately 1604 hours, I began my next interview with Inmate Heather Walmsley, date of birth 09/28/66.
Heather has been housed at the Boulder County Jail since April 7, 2016, and resides in cell #8. According to
Heather, she did not actually see Stephanie Anderson come into the housing unit on the night of the 26th, and the
only thing she remembers about the night of the 26th was there was a lrge commotion around midnight inside
the bubble. Eight to nine deputies came in and she could hear a taser go off twice, and then they brought in the
chair. Heather stated that she believed they were putting the new girl, referring to Stephanie, in the chair and
possibly tasing her. She later found out that it ws not Stephanie that was being placed in the chair, but it was
Genova from unit #22. She does not know if Genova was actually tased or if she was just threatened with the
taser. Heather stated that throughout the entire night there was a lot of screaming and crying and commotion,
and that none of the inmates in the housing unit got any sleep. At one point during the night she did hear
somebody yelling that they were dying and that again she thought it was the new girl, but later found out it was the
girl in unit #10 and not the new girl. Heather states that she woke up at approximately 0430 hours and had
breakfast at 0500 hours. She stated she was in a bad mood along with everybody else in the housing unit
because they had not been able to sleep. A large argument broke out between the inmates and the corrections
officers because they were upset that the officers were allowing Genova to speak with Stephanie Anderson the
way that she was. According to Heather, Genova continued to intimidate and yell at Stephanie, which none of the
girls thought was appropriate. Because the inmates were arguing with the deputies, they were ordered to lock
down and remain on lockdown the rest of the day. Heather stated she had a professional visit from her mental
health worker at 1530 hours and was allowed out of lockdown, and came into the interview room where I was
currently interviewing her. She stated she stayed in the interview room until 1600 hours when Deputy Clem came
and got her. Deputy Clem told her to go back up into her room and lock down, and as she was walking up the
stairs she noticed a male corrections officer doing checks upstairs. Deputy Clem went into the bubble, at which
point she started yelling for everybody to lock down and that there was a medical emergency. I asked Heather if
at any time prior to the professional visit did she hear Anderson calling out to anybody or stating she was sick and
did not feel well, and she informed me she did not. She stated that she never heard Anderson and never saw her
have any type of conversations with any of the deputies on duty. This interview was concluded at 1616 hours.
The next interview I conducted was at 1618 hours with Inmate Linda Wingert, date of birth 02/22/56. Linda has
been housed at the Boulder County Jail since October 8th and is in unit #31, which is the furthest unit from
Stephanie Anderson's cell. Linda informed me that she wears headphones most nights and does not pay
attention to the comings and goings of the housing unit. On the night of the 26th when Stephanie was brought
into the housing unit, she does remember hearing somebody coming in to the housing unit, but does not
remember anything specific. Linda stated that she does not sleep well inside the jail and did not sleep well the
night of the 26th. She does not remember hearing anything specific from Stephanie Anderson and spent most of
the night awake with her headphones on. On Friday morning, she does not know what time she woke up because
she does not keep track of time. Linda informed me that she does not remember seeing or hearing anything from
Stephanie Anderson, and they only time she knew there was a problem was when they were doing CPR and
working on Stephanie. Linda reiterated that she keeps to herself and does not pay attention to anything going on
in the housing unit, and tries to just put her headphones on and listen to music. This interview was concluded at
1626 hours.
This was the last inmate interview I conducted under this supplemental report.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Don Dillard, #542
On June 1, 2016, while at the Boulder County Jail, I interviewed Tanya Bowden, booking #1500774. She was
housed in Women's Housing Unit, the former intake room #18. I was able to speak with Tanya in a meeting room
across from the officer work area. I asked her after identifying who I was and why I was here, if she could tell me
what she saw and knew, and she told me there was a male officer by the name of Heck and that Anderson had
asked him for help and he said, "No habla English." Tanya said she went to group around 3:00 p.m., which was
her
meeting, and after her meeting at 3:55 p.m. while heading back to her module she saw a group of
deputies running to her housing unit. She said that she was told to wait outside the housing unit and face away
from her module, and not to look. She said that she had done roughly 10 years in prison and in jails and so she
knows when someone tells you to stand there, and not move, and look away, not to move and not to look. I asked
what she could tell me. She said, she did watch after quite some time she was placed onto a gurney, this being
Anderson, and pushed out of the housing unit. She said that while she was on the gurney and while they were
pushing her out, there was someone on top of her doing compressions. However, she said "Come on guys, she's
already gone, they're just doing it for looks."
While Tanya was talking to me she became a little emotional and said that she has done a lot of time in DOC;
however, this is the toughest time she has ever had being locked up. She said, that the lack of sleep because of
all the yelling done by Nicole has been too much and she feels as though she is going crazy, because of the lack
of sleep. She also stated she did not understand how a jail can house maximum inmates as well as minimum
inmates or mental health inmates all in one housing unit.
I asked her to tell me a little more about the comment that Deputy Heck had made while in the housing unit and
asked if she knew about what time this happened. She said it was sometime after lunch, she estimated
approximately 12:30 p.m. She said that when an inmate makes a statement like that asking for help, even if
Nicole is screaming, she feels as though this is something that the deputy should still stop and check in with the
inmate to make sure she is okay. She stated that Nicole starts a lot of the problems in this housing unit being that
she is in the bubble and stated that Nicole is always yelling, and this causes a lot of problems being that you
never know if an inmate really does need help because she is constantly screaming and the officers do not check
in on the female inmates.
I thanked Tanya for talking to me so candidly and told her that I would document her statement.
The next inmate I interviewed is Audrey Rose Brown, booking #1604304. She was housed in room #28, but now

Narrative
is housed in room #19. When I asked her to step into the interview room across from the officer work area, I
introduced myself and told her why I was here. I asked her if she could tell me about the morning or afternoon of
the 27th of May, and she stated that she had no idea anything had happened, and asked if I had the woman's
name that had died. I told her that if she had no idea of what had happened that I appreciated her coming in and
talking to me, and I told her that I would escort her back to her housing unit.
The next inmate I interviewed was Kaylin June Fournier, booking #1600071. She is housed in room #4. Upon her
arrival to the area that I have set up across from the officer work area, I introduced myself and explained to her
why I was here. I asked her if she could help me better understand what had happened in reference this case.
She told me that when she started hearing the person in cell #21 banging on the door, saying that she needed
help, then Deputy Heck had made fun of her and said, "No speak English." I have a map of the housing unit
formerly marked as Intake, and cell #4 is directly above #21. I asked if the yelling she heard for help, possibly
from the person that is housed in cell #22, and she stated no, that she can only hear what is being said out of #21.
She knows that the person in #22 yells a lot; however, she cannot really make out what she is saying. I asked
her how long she had been in this housing unit. She indicated that she has been here for the last six months, and
so I asked how familiar she was with Deputy Heck. She said that she was very familiar with Heck and stated that
he is normally very good, and he is one of the officers that you can go to with issues and he will normally help you
with them. She said that she did not understand what had happened that day because he was not listening to the
person in cell #21.
She indicated to me that Deputy Clem was also working this housing unit and when Clem stepped away for lunch
that it was Heck that came in to oversee the housing unit while she was on her break. I asked if the person in #21
had been yelling for help while Clem was working the housing unit. She said that she didn't remember if she was,
she just stated that she didn't know if Clem really understood how sick the girl was.
I asked if there was anything else she can think of that I should know about. She stated that she used to be a
lifeguard three years ago and stated that from what she could hear from her room, they weren't doing rescue
breathing, they were breathing for her. She stated that after being a lifeguard for quite some time, she stated that
she knew the difference between what she was hearing being called out. She said that had the deputies made
their normal cell checks, they would have found her sooner and would have been able to perform rescue
breathing.
I asked if there was anything else that she can think of that she hadn't already said. She said that when Clem
came back from her break it was Clem that walked down the housing unit, and heard the girl in #22 saying that
the girl in #21 was dead, at which point she said that Clem checked on the girl in #21, said she wasn't; however,
she was eventually found dead shortly thereafter. I asked if there was anything else from Kaylin that I should
know and she indicated that was it, that was all she could think of. I thanked Kaylin for taking the time to talk to
me about this and escorted her back out to her housing unit.
The next inmate I spoke to is identified as Steffiny Leeann Lipari, booking #1604222. Steffiny is housed in room
#15; however, at the time of this incident was housed in room #32. I introduced myself to her and told her why I
was here and asked if she could tell me what she knew in reference this incident. She stated that from where her
room is and was located the only thing that she can see or hear is the person that is in cell #22 screaming
constantly. She said that she was unable to hear anything specific to cell #21; just stated that she felt bad that the
girl died. I thanked Steffiny for telling me what she did know and thanked her for her time, then escorted her back
out to go into her housing unit.
The next inmate I interviewed is Tisa A. Maxwell, booking #1603660. I escorted her into the area in which I am
doing my interviews and introduced myself to her and explained why I was here. I asked her if there was anything
that she saw or heard in reference the death that happened on the 27th. She told me that she is housed in room
#14, which was the complete opposite area in which #21 was located, and the only thing she can tell me is that
the girl in #22 screams a lot, and that she didn't know the girl in #21 that died. I asked what she could tell me she
could see from the deputy that found the woman in #21. She said that it was when Clem came back she was
doing a walk and flashed a flashlight into the room, and then went into the room and hit something on the wall.
She said that she later saw a male deputy go into the room, turning the decedent over. I asked if there was
anything else she could tell me and she said that is all she actually saw herself other than the rumor mill going on

in the housing unit. I thanked Tisa for talking to me and escorted her back out to her housing unit door, which
completed my interactions with her.
The next inmate I spoke to is Megan Leeann Oakley, booking #1600907. She is housed in room #2, which is on
the same side as the decedent's room.
I asked her what she could tell me in reference this. She said that she and her friend, Haley Price, were out
cleaning when she heard a girl crying for help when Heck went into the bubble. Megan said that she heard the
girl in #21 ask to talk to Heck and he said, "No habla." I asked approximately what time this was and she said that
it was approximately noon. I asked if that was the only time she had heard this woman in #21 crying for help and
she said that there were two different rooms crying for help, room #21, as well as the woman that was in cell #10;
however, she was just crying for help and she was okay, and it was the girl in #21 that actually needed help. I
asked her approximately how long she would estimate the cries for help went on and she estimated approximately
two or so hours. I asked how long she has been in our facility and she said since April 14, 2016. I asked if she
knew who Deputy Heck was and she said that she did, that she normally would say that he is a pretty good guy.
However, after how she saw how he handled this instance and how he was unwilling to take a second to see how
she was, she feels that he is not fit to do this job.
I asked if there was anything else that I should know about. She said that the girl in #22 shouldn't be in this
facility, that she is crazy and should be in a mental hospital, and that she is creating a lot of conflict in this housing
unit. She said that during this time frame when the decedent was crying for help, she remembered hearing the
girl in #22 telling her to go ahead and kill herself, and she thought that was messed up. She said that a woman in
her state should not be in a jail with other inmates because of the conflict and the constant screaming she creates.
I asked her if there was anything else that we should know about. She said that was all she really knew, at
which point I thanked her for speaking to me in reference this, and told her if there was anything else that had
come up, to please let the jail deputies know.
The next inmate I spoke to is identified as Christina Fay Perrigoue. Her booking number is 1603529.
I escorted Christina back into the interview room across from the officer work area. I introduced myself and
explained to her why I was here. I asked her if she can help me with what she had seen and heard the day of
death. She told me that she had heard the girl crying for help and she was being ignored. Christina said she
didn't hear the night guard interact with the woman in #21 at all during the evening. I asked how she knew it was
the woman in #21 crying for help and not the woman in #22, and she said that she had been in our jail previously
and that Nicole was in jail with her at that time too. She said that she has been locked up here since May 1st this
time. She said that she remembered hearing Nicole yelling that Anderson was dead, and that Clem had gone in
and she heard her say Anderson, Anderson, and then yell out that she was okay. She then later heard Clem go
back in and yell Anderson, Anderson again, and this time shortly thereafter there were crash carts that came
down to the housing unit.
I asked what her opinion of Clem was, and she said that Clem is one of her favorite deputies and that she is very
fair. I asked what her opinion of Deputy Heck was, and she said that he was new and very cocky.
I asked if there was anything else that she could think of that we hadn't talked about, and she said that she was
one of the girls that went in to clean the cell after the decedent was removed from the room. I asked what she
could tell me about that and she said there was green vomit all over the floor, toilet, sink, and bed; however, it
wasn't on the walls. I asked how she knew that was vomit and she said that it smelled like vomit. She said that
she had some friends that had overdosed on opiates and said that the look and smell of the vomit that she had
seen in this room, she felt was consistent with how her friends had died. She also described the vomit on the floor
as being puddles of vomit. I asked if at any point during the evening or day she had ever heard anything going on
in that room, and she remembered hearing the girl in #21 stating that she keeps throwing up and she needed
some help. Christina said that while she was in the room cleaning up the vomit that she had found two small
plastic baggies in the vomit and had put them aside and taken them to Deputy Jarmillo, and asked if she wanted
these to be held for the investigation being that they were found in the vomit, and the deputy told her to throw
them away. I asked if there was anything else she remembered seeing or hearing, and she said there was
nothing more at this time. I thanked Christina for talking to me in reference this and asked her to come to the

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Don Dillard, #542
On June 1, 2016, I was asked to respond to the Boulder County Jail in reference follow-up investigation on an
unattended death that happened at the jail. After completing several interviews, I interviewed Serena Joy Unrein,
booking #1603149. I learned that she lives in housing unit #11 and has been in the Boulder County Jail and in
this cell for the last 30 days. Once we came into the interview room, I introduced myself and explained why I was
here and asked for her help in understanding what had happened. She told me that she didn't know much, but
she could tell me that from where her cell is she could see that when they pulled the decedent out of the room,
she was already dead. I asked how she knew that. She said that she was already purple and that she looked
dead, and that the deputies kept trying to put her arms on her chest/belly area, and they kept flopping down.
She said that the person in the cell next to hers, being #10, continued yelling, saying that she was dying and she
needed help, and she thought that the deputies didn't take this serious, just that the woman in #21 was being like
the woman in room #10. Serena explained to me that she doesn't understand how people that are placed in the
bubble are never checked. She said that she had just recently gotten out of lockdown and there they check on
you. However, the people that are placed on suicide watch in the bubble, they don't even go cell to cell to look in;
they touch the wand or stick to the outside of one of the ends. She said that she didn't feel that was adequate on
a suicide watch protocol. I explained to her that as detectives, we were here to interview people and document
statements that they have made through their observations, and I would be documenting what she has told me. I
asked if there was anything additional that she had personally seen, and she stated that there was not, just that
there is always yelling going on here and she has gotten in the habit of just trying to block it out. I thanked her for
her candidness in reference this and thanked her for her time. I walked her back out and Deputy Starr had to
escort her back to her room being that she has a no contact order with someone.
The next inmate I interviewed is Stephanie Rose Wellington, booking #1407190. I introduced myself to Stephanie
and explained why I was here, and asked if she might be able to help me understand what happened. She told
me that she has been in the Boulder County Jail since May 18, 2016, and says that she is familiar with the
deputies, as well as a lot of these inmates. She said that she remembered hearing the woman in #21 banging on
the door trying to get the guards' attention all early afternoon. I asked what early afternoon meant to her and she
stated that it was between 12:00 and 4:00 p.m. Stephanie is housed in room #4, which is directly above cell #21.
I asked her what else she could tell me. She said that the only thing that she remembered is hearing the
pounding on the doors, the yelling, and then shortly thereafter seeing the deputies coming in and doing CPR on
her. I asked if there was anything else she might be able to tell me that might help in this investigation, and she

said the only thing that she can think of is that it took roughly 15 to 20 minutes before they removed her from the
housing unit on a stretcher. I asked if there was anything else that would help in reference this, and she told me
that the woman in #22 is always screaming and yelling. I told her that this has been a common theme from
person to person, and that it would be noted in my report. I thanked Stephanie for talking with me and escorted
her back to her housing unit.
This completed all the interviews at this time of inmates at this jail.

On June 1, 2016, I went to LCTC in Longmont to conduct an interview with former Boulder County Jail Inmate
Alicia Barton. Her booking number is 1600047.
Alicia was in the process of checking in at LCTC. I introduced myself to her and explained to her why I was there
and asked if she might be able to help me better understand what had taken place on May 27th in reference the
death in the Women's Housing Unit. She told me that at one point prior to leaving to go to LCTC, she had actually
been housed in the bubble area for disciplinary action. She said she remembered when the decedent came into
the housing unit the first time. She was complaining and telling people that she was sick. She also stated that
she was telling people that she was throwing up and she needed help. I asked if she had physically heard her say
that she was sick and then heard her throwing up, and she said that she had. I asked if it was brought to the
attention of any of the officers working the unit and she said that the woman kept pounding on the door, saying
that she needed to seek medical attention. She remembered a male deputy, Deputy Heck, between the hours of
1:00 and 2:00, and then again at 3:00 p.m., he had told her "No habla English." I asked if she had physically
heard him state that and she said no, she had spoken to a friend of hers, Charlene Von Schlesien, and she had
heard that part from her. I asked if the stuff that she had previously mentioned about hearing that she was sick
and her whining and hearing her throw up, if that was something she heard firsthand, and she said it was. I asked
what unit she was moved to after coming out of the bubble, and she said she was housed in room #9, which is
above the cell area around #21.
I asked if there was anything else that I should know. She said that she remembered hearing the woman in #21
yelling for help around 1:30 p.m., and then heard the help, when she was throwing up. She also stated that at the
same time the woman in #21 was yelling for help, the girl in room #10 was also yelling that she needed help. She
said that on top of the girl she knows as Nicole in room #22, who was also screaming, she said that all night long
there was yelling from all three cells.
I asked if there was anything else I should know about. She stated that she had spoken to Deputy Aguilar who
had told her in a conversation that the woman in #21 had been taken to the hospital, but refused medical
attention. She said that Aguilar told her that the woman was a drug addict and she said that was something she
disagreed with as far as the response from him. I asked if there was anything else I should know about. She
said, she said that was it. I asked if there was a contact phone number for her and she said that she would only
have the LCTC main line phone number. I thanked Alicia for talking to me and told her if she thought of anything
to please contact me to let me know.

Narrative
On May 27, 2016 around 1550 hours, I was at the Boulder County Jail in Commander Jeff Goetz's office.
Commander Goetz allowed me to use his office, in his absence, while I was conducting interviews for
l
. Deputy Tim Aguilar stopped in when he saw me and we chatted for a few
moments and then I overheard on Deputy Aguilar's pac-set that there was a medical call to the women's module.
Deputy Aguilar then left Commander Goetz's office.
A short time later I decided to go to the Women's module to see how serious the matter was and if any of the
deputies I needed to speak with were involved. I went inside the module dayroom and conversed with
Commander's Ron Kaundart and Geno Martinez. While I was inside of the module I could see in the
sub-dayroom area jail medical staff, paramedics and or fire personnel were doing CPR on a female that was just
inside the sub-day room on the floor. I noticed that in room number #22 a female was standing at her door
looking out the window and she appeared to be naked, or at least was not wearing a shirt. This female was being
very vocal and she was looking out her window into the sub-day room and flipping everyone off with her middle
finger. I could not make out what the female was saying but she was very vocal.
Medical staff continued CPR and a gurney was brought into the module and I left so as not to be in the way. I
checked with Sergeant Mike Cavin to see how long I was inside the module as he had reviewed the video footage
from this incident. I was advised that I entered the module at 1610 hours, and left at 1619 hours.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Joshua Bonafede, #549
On 06/01/2016 at approximately 1930 hours, Detective Dave Salaman and I responded to the jail to conduct more
interviews in this case. We met with Maria Guadalupe Carrasco, date of birth 03/02/93. Maria was housed in the
unit where Stephanie Anderson died. Maria informed us that she was in room #32 at the time of Stephanie
Anderson's death. According to Maria, she first met Stephanie Anderson in the booking area and that they were
housed in one of the rooms in the booking area together. Stephanie did inform Maria that she was coming off of
painkillers and that she was feeling sick and kept telling the deputies that she was feeling sick. Maria stated she
also told the deputies that Stephanie was feeling sick while they were still housed in booking prior to Stephanie
going to the hospital. In the room along with Maria and Stephanie was Stephanie's friend, Ashlee. Detective
Salaman asked Maria when the last time she saw Stephanie in the booking area, and she informed him that she
went to get dressed out so she could go to the Women's pod and that is the last time she saw Stephanie in
booking. She believed Stephanie was taken out of the booking area because she was feeling ill.
Maria and Ashlee went to the Women's pod late in the evening and she estimated that time was 2200 hours.
Sometime later, Stephanie came into the pod, but Maria did not see her come in. Maria learned from Ashlee that
Stephanie was in the pod and in the bubble. Maria thought it was weird that Stephanie was in the bubble because
Stephanie was only sick and she did not think she was suicidal or deserved to be in the bubble. Maria stated that
when she found out Stephanie was in the bubble, she heard Stephanie calling out saying she was sick and that
she was dying over and over again. She also heard Nicole, who was housed next to Stephanie, yelling weird
things to Stephanie. We asked her what kind of weird things and Maria stated, "You're going to go with Satan."
Maria stated that the majority of the things that Stephanie was saying throughout the night were not directed
towards Nicole, but were saying she needed help. During the hours of Friday morning, she stated she heard
Stephanie also calling out for help. She informed us that at one point she heard a male officer say, "No
comprende English." She estimated the male officer said this 30 minutes before Stephanie was found deceased
on the floor according to Maria.
Detective Salaman asked Maria if she could estimate the time that Stephanie was found, and she estimated it was
between 1430 and 1500 hours during the med run. When she saw Stephanie come out of the cell, being drug by
the deputies, she was blue and Maria stated that she knew she was dead. Detective Salaman asked Maria if
Stephanie had anything on her such as a cell phone and Maria stated she did know that Stephanie had a cell
phone because Ashlee had mentioned it to her. She never actually saw the cell phone. Ashlee had also told
Maria that Stephanie was coming off of painkillers and that she was in a lot of agony. Detective Salaman asked

Narrative
Maria if any of the inmates had written anything on all the windows using toilet paper and Maria stated that in
room #23, which was actually room #24, she saw "Cops let her die at 3 p.m., windows closed." This was written
sometime in the morning when they came off lockdown.
After interviewing Maria, we next interviewed Deputy Brittany Jaramillo at approximately 2004 hours. Deputy
Jaramillo said Price was the trustee that she asked to clean cell #21 later that night after Stephanie had died.
According to Deputy Jaramillo, Price was freaked out having to clean the cell and asked for a hazmat suit. She
stated she did not want to clean it, but she would if she had to. Deputy Jaramillo then asked Perrigoue to clean
the cell. Christina Perrigoue had to have a change of shoes and clothing, and took a shower after cleaning the
cell. Detective Salaman asked Deputy Jaramillo if Perrigoue had brought her anything while she was cleaning
that was suspicious. She stated she had not brought her anything. According to Deputy Jaramillo, she had
actually gone in and cleaned up all the medical supplies prior to Inmate Perrigoue going in and cleaning up
anything. Detective Salaman asked her directly if Perrigoue had brought any bundles or plastic pieces to her and
Deputy Jaramillo said she had not. Deputy Jaramillo had also not seen any plastic bundles in the vomit when she
entered the cell. Deputy Jaramillo said everything in the cell was thrown away and that feminine hygiene
products were used to clean up the vomit area, which were also discarded.
This interview was concluded at 2012 hours.

Case #16-3037
Detective Joshua Bonafede, #549
On June 1, 2016, at approximately 2110 hours, I, Detective Joshua Bonafede, badge #549, went to interview
Inmate Jamie Langford in room #25 of the Women's Housing Unit. Detective Salaman had noticed that we had
not interviewed Langford on our previous interviews that were done earlier this morning and throughout the day. I
approached Inmate Langford's cell door and identified myself as a detective with the Boulder County Sheriff's
Office and informed her I was there to speak with her regarding Stephanie Anderson's death. Inmate Langford
informed me she didn't know what I was talking about or why I was there. I tried to explain to her again that I was
there to interview her regarding Stephanie Anderson's death, at which point she walked away from the door back
towards her bed. I called out her name and asked if she was willing to speak with me, and she informed me she
didn't know anything about anything and did not want to speak with me. As I was leaving the cell door, Inmate
Charlene VonSchlesien was on the phone next to Langford's room. Charlene told me that Langford was crazy
and that she would never speak with deputies. I went back to the officer work area where Sergeant Tim Kellison
informed me that Langford had mental health issues and would not know who I was if I came back an hour later.
This concluded my attempt to interview Inmate Langford.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Mark Spurgeon, #537
On June 1, 2016, I was contacted by Detective Sergeant Lindsey. Sergeant Lindsey requested I assist in regards
to this investigation. I was tasked with completing an interview with Debra Clem, a deputy with the Boulder
County Sheriff's Office assigned to the Jail Division.
I learned this case was in regards to an unattended death that occurred at the jail on May 27, 2016.
I reviewed the base case report and supplemental reports in regards to this incident. I also reviewed the Boulder
County Corrections Incident Report #16-2182. I learned the decedent was identified as Stephanie Michelle
Anderson. I also located a news article online listing "Woman who died in Boulder County Jail asked for help,
inmate claims." The post is dated May 31, 2016. In the seventh paragraph of the report, the article reads as
follows:
A second inmate has offered a similar account of events through her father, who spoke to the Denver Post on
condition of anonymity. He said his daughter added that deputies mocked Anderson at one point, saying, officer
no habla Espanol (officer does not speak Spanish), and that the women in the jail pod who heard her calls for help
were shaken by the death. Friends and family say Anderson had a heart condition that was worsened when she
was under stress.
I contacted the Boulder County Jail, and learned that Clem was currently working, being called in on her
scheduled day off. I spoke with her direct sergeant, Sergeant Tony Knight, and asked if I could speak with her in
person, and Knight agreed. I had Knight speak with Clem and ask if she would be willing to speak with me at the
Boulder County Sheriff's Office Headquarters Building, in person, and on tape in regards to this investigation. I
was advised that Clem agreed to this.
I completed an interview with Clem in Interview Room #1, located in the Investigations Section of the Boulder
County Sheriff's Office Headquarters Building. The interview began at 1300 hours. I identified myself to Clem as
a detective with the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, and advised her that this interview was voluntary. She stated
that she understood, and was willing to speak with me. I also advised Clem that this interview was being
recorded, and pointed out to her the location of the camera. I closed the door and advised her that the door was
closed for her privacy, but she was free to leave at any time. Clem stated that she understood.
For specifics in regards to the interview, please refer to the DVD copy of the interview submitted into evidence,
item number MJS-1. The following will be an overview of the interview with Clem.
Clem has been employed with the Boulder County Sheriff's Office for 10 years, with the Jail Division, with a hire
date of 06/05/2006. She spent the first 2-1/2 years of her career as a law enforcement tech (LET) in the jail. She
is currently assigned to Team B, and her scheduled work days are Thursday through Saturday, with every other
Wednesday off. Last week was an odd week for her work schedule, due to the fact she was in training all day
Tuesday, and was adjusted off on Wednesday, and then worked Thursday through Saturday. She works 0700
hours to 1900 hours. Her normal assignment is an officer in the module units.
On the date of this incident, May 27, 2016, she was assigned to the Women's Module. When she arrived, she
received pass-on from the night deputy, who she identified as Brittany, possible last name of Jaramillo, but she
was not certain of her last name. She stated that the pass-on was somewhat normal. When she completed her
check and initial count in the morning, she noted that Anderson had a fluid on her cell floor adjacent or in front of

Narrative
the toilet. She thought it was urine. She spoke with the deputy, Brittany, who stated she thought the fluid was
bile, or vomit, due to the fact that Anderson had been up in the night and was sick during the night. She also
learned that she had gone to the hospital.
This was Clem's first contact with Anderson, and had not dealt with her prior to this day.
She was working the unit, along with Deputy Kenneth Heck, who was working the Intake Module. Anderson was
housed in cell #21, and was housed alone, on suicide protocol. When she did her initial count and check, she
noted that Anderson was sleeping. She noted that Anderson was in a suicide smock, and was sleeping on a
blanket, with the smock covering her.
I asked her about her shift prior to this incident, she described it as normal, hectic, and very busy. She stated that
there were no major issues during the day, specifically no assaults, fights, or other type of issues. I asked if she
had any previous stressors in regards to her work. She stated that she had not.
She spoke to me in regards to the normal checks that she completes during the day, and how these checks occur,
and the time frame. She stated that Anderson was on 15-minute checks due to the fact she was on suicide
protocol. She spoke about the electronic monitoring device in regards to the checks, and stated that she
completed her normal checks, and sometimes she does not use the wand, or electronic monitor to complete the
check and/or document the check, but does direct supervision in the module.
At no time during the day was she ever in cell #21, but checked on Anderson during the day. She noted that
during the checks she, Anderson, changed position, and that she was able to see Anderson breathing. She
spoke about Anderson's head changing positions, from one side of the bunk to the other side of the bunk. She
spoke about using a flashlight to detect movement and chest rise from Anderson during the course of the day.
She also spoke about seeing Anderson's head change position, where she was almost seated up, with her head
slightly bent back, and was snoring somewhat loudly.
She spoke about meal service, which occurred between 1045 and 1100 hours. She recalled waking Anderson up
during this time, but did not enter the cell, and woke her through the food port. She asked Anderson if she wanted
lunch, and Anderson responded no. She recalled seeing a styro tray, presumably from the breakfast feeding, on
the floor. She recalled the styro tray to be closed, and that the spork was sticking out of it. She did not know if
Anderson had eaten the food in the tray.
She spoke about Anderson's location in the module, specifically being in the Sub Day Room, cells #21 through
#26. She stated that this area was full and each cell was occupied with one single female. This area is used for
separation between inmates. The inmates in the Sub Day Room normally are on different levels, keep separate,
or on suicide protocol.
She spoke about a call button or monitoring system that is located in the Sub Day Room between cells #24 and
#25. She has the ability from the officer work area to monitor sound in this area. She recalled monitoring sounds
periodically through the course of the day and did not recall anything unusual. She did speak about having issues
with an inmate in cell #22, identified as Nicole Genova. She described Genova as being very loud, and having
mental health issues.
She spoke about medical rounds being completed between approximately 1514 to 1533 hours per her report.
She recalled one to two inmates in the Sub Day Room that received medication during this time, but Anderson
was not one of them.
She spoke about the 27th as being the first day for the new type of med rounds to be completed, where medical
staff brought the med cart into the module, and inmates came out from their rooms to receive meds, once again
within the module.
She spoke about the inmates in the Sub Day Room having a time out period during the course of the day,
specifically an hour and 15 minutes out of their cell during a 24-hour period. She was going through the process
of allowing all parties to have their time out, but did not get to Anderson's time out prior to this incident occurring.
She was not certain of when the time outs occurred, but stated that this would be documented on her time out log.

Narrative
I asked if any inmate during their time out contacted her in regards to concerns about Anderson. She stated that
no one contacted her. I also asked if she heard any yelling, through the intercom or otherwise, from Anderson,
specifically crying for help, or other type of concerns. She stated she never heard anything, and no one ever
alerted her to any concerns with Anderson through the course of her shift.
She spoke about her final check when she located Anderson not responsive. She stated she entered the module,
shortly after med rounds, starting her rounds with cell #21. She stated that this was her normal habit, and she
would start at cell #21, complete the checks in the Sub Day Room, and then continue the checks throughout the
module. When she checked on cell #21, she noted that Anderson appeared to be not responsive. She knocked
on the door, yelled her name, opened the food port, and flashed a flashlight on Anderson. She stated she never
saw any movement. At this time, Deputy Stephanie Gonzales was in the officer work area due to the fact that
Deputy Heck was taking a restroom break within the officer work area. Gonzales normally does not work her side
of the week, or her shift, and did not recall her badge number. Due to this fact, she alerted Gonzales using the
intercom system in the Sub Day Room. She told Gonzales to open cell #21. Once the cell door was opened, she
entered and noted that Anderson was not responsive. She spoke about her inability to open the door with a key,
or any other access other than from inside the officer work area. The door is a slider door, and is only operational
from the officer work area. She spoke about the time of her check, and believed it was approximately 1546 hours
when she completed this check. She stated that this was based off the clock in the officer work area, not her
watch, or other clocks in the facility. She spoke about the clocks having different times in the facility.
When she entered the cell to check on Anderson, she appeared to be sleeping, on her right side, facing the wall,
with her head to the right and her feet to the left. She touched Anderson between the neck and the right shoulder,
with no response. At first she thought that Anderson was going to "jump me," she stepped back, and put on
gloves. She then touched Anderson's left shoulder, describing it as a push and/or wiggle, trying to wake her. No
response occurred. The smock that was covering Anderson moved, and she noted Anderson to have an unusual
color on her back left torso. She described this area as above the waist, but below the shoulder, and appeared to
be a spider web type of veins, purple veins in color. She immediately radioed for assistance, and officers and
medical staff arrived. She assisted in moving Anderson to the floor just outside the cell, to begin CPR. She did
not assist with CPR, but assisted in moving Anderson, and she was at the feet during the movement.
Medical staff arrived, and Anderson was removed from the module.
I spoke with Clem about her lunch break on the 27th. She thought her lunch break was between approximately
1145 and 1245 hours, but was not certain. She believed that she came back just before Kathy Spurgeon arrived
for courts, this would be around 1300 hours. I asked if anyone else would have completed checks in the module.
She stated that the only other person would have been her partner, Kenneth Heck. She stated that when they
take a lunch break the other module officer covers their module while they are gone; they do not have a specific
person to break them for lunch.
I showed Clem the article in regards to the "Woman who died in Boulder County Jail asked for help, inmate
claims." I showed her the specific paragraph where the person speaks of an officer stating "No habla Espanol." I
asked her if she recalled this statement, if she completed the statement, or if she knew who completed the
statement. She stated that she did not. I asked if she had ever heard about this statement prior. She somewhat
hesitated and stated that she did. I asked when and how she heard about this statement. She stated that she
was interviewed by Sergeant Koger on the day after the incident, Saturday, May 28, 2016. I asked what the
interview was specifically in regards to. She stated it was just in regards to that statement. She advised Koger
that she did not complete this statement.
I asked Clem how she was doing. She stated that she was having somewhat of a difficult time in regards to the
processing of this incident, and this is the first time she had to deal with a death within the facility. I noted that she
became somewhat emotional, and she began tearing up. She stated the first 24 hours were the hardest, but she
is doing better.
I asked Clem if there was anything additional we needed to speak about, or cover in regards to this incident.
Clem stated that the only thing she could think of was her opinion that the Women's Module, especially with the
large amount of women, 57, and their specific needs is a large module for one officer to control and monitor.

Narrative
This was all the information Clem had for me. The interview was concluded at approximately 1355 hours.
On June 2, 2016, I was tasked with completing an interview with Karmen Koger, a sergeant with the Boulder
County Jail Division, and Deputy Kenneth Heck, a deputy assigned to the Boulder County Jail Division. Both
interviews were digitally recorded and later downloaded into DVD format and submitted into evidence as item
number MJS-2, interview with Karmen Koger, and item number MJS-3, interview with Ken Heck.
Both interviews occurred in Interview Room #1 of the Investigations Section located within the Boulder County
Sheriff's Office Headquarters Building. The interview with Koger occurred between 1115 hours and ended at
1215 hours. Deputy Heck's interview began at 1310 hours and ended at 1410 hours. Prior to the interviews, I
identified myself to both parties and advised them that this interview was voluntary, and that the door was closed
for their privacy, and they were free to leave at any time. Both parties stated they understood, and were willing to
speak with me in regards to this investigation.
Upon speaking with Koger, I learned the following information:
She is currently assigned to the Jail Division as a shift sergeant, working Team B. Her first day on Team B was
the day of this incident, May 27, 2016. Her work week that week was somewhat altered due to the fact that she
was in an AJA conference, and returned back to the area late Thursday, and reported to duty Friday. Her hire
date is January 21, 2002, hired as a deputy within the jail. She spent some time on patrol. She has been a jail
sergeant for approximately 10 months. She last worked a day shift module, on or about August of 2014.
Her normal work schedule is Thursday through Saturday with alternating work days of Wednesday. She reports
to duty at 0700 hours and end of watch at 1900 hours.
On the date of this incident, May 27, 2016, it was her first day as a day shift sergeant, and she was the only
sergeant on duty. Her partner, Sergeant Groff, was on vacation. Her commander was a day shift commander,
Ron Kaundart, and a night shift commander came on duty at approximatey 1400 hours, Geno Martinez. She
believes that this was his first day as a commander.
When she worked modules, she worked several different modules in the jail, and worked in the Women's Module
on several occasions. She described herself as familiar with the operation of the Women's Module.
When reporting to duty on the 27th, she was given pass-on from the night sergeant, identified as Sergeant Tim
Kellison. He spoke about an issue with Inmate Anderson, who he stated was transported to the hospital and
refused treatment. She returned screaming, yelling, and told officers "Just shoot me." Based on her statement,
she was placed on suicidal protocol, she had not yet been processed, dressed into a suicide smock, and housed
in the Women's Module unit #21. She believes Anderson was arrested on Thursday afternoon, but was not
certain. She believed that Kellison told her that Anderson was possibly withdrawing from some type of drug, but
she was not certain.
She did not recall the name of Anderson, nor did she recognize Anderson from previous times in the jail.
She spoke about her initial transition into the shift that day, stating that it was a very busy day, the booking area
was full, and she believed that there were approximately 12 people waiting to be processed, and knew that the
Disciplinary Module was full. She knew multiple people that were going to be booked and needed to have a bond
set, and due to this fact knew that they would be staying for the weekend.
She spoke about staffing, stating that they were at minimums, which was normal for the jail. She had each post
covered, had one sick call, and called in one deputy on mandatory overtime.
I asked about her shift prior to this incident, and asked if there were any major stressors, if there were any fights,
or any type of hands-on incidences. She stated that there was nothing unusual, and that she met with the team,
due to the fact that it was her first time on the team. She assisted with dental rounds, dealt with the schedule for
the week, went through inmate hearings that needed to be dispoed, in regards to rule violations.
Just prior to 1600 hours on the 27th, she was in speaking with Commander Martinez in regards to disciplinary
hearings. Also present was Commander Kaundart. They were in the commander's office in the main hallway of

Narrative
the jail. She heard on jail radio traffic that Deputy Clem asked for medical to respond to the module on an
unresponsive female. She responded, and believed that she was the second person into the module behind
Deputy Shorten. When she responded in, she observed Clem in cell #21 dealing with a female inmate who was
not responsive. She believed the inmate was on her stomach, and she checked for a pulse. She could not find a
pulse, and tried to roll the inmate, later identified as Anderson, over but was unable to do so due to her size. She
described her as a heavier set female. She asked Deputy Shorten to grab a trauma kit, and Deputy Chris Reiss
arrived. They were able to roll Anderson on the floor, and place her outside the cell in front of cell #22. They were
on the floor, and began CPR. She recalled affixing an AED to Anderson, with no shock advised. They continued
CPR until medical personnel arrived. Shortly after this, AMR and the fire department arrived. CPR and medical
care were given until medical personnel arrived. She recalled paramedics to complete an IV and issued Narcan to
Anderson. She recalled that medical personnel used suction due to the fact that Anderson was vomiting. She
recalled the paramedic to intubate Anderson.
The paramedic wanted to call the time of death in the module. She explained to medical staff that is not normal
protocol that an inmate be pronounced in the facility, and asked that the pronouncement be made after transport
to the hospital. The paramedic somewhat agreed, and transported Anderson out of the module and into the
garage area, and placed her into an ambulance. At this time the paramedics said that they were going to call the
time of death. She explained to the paramedic again that it was not normal protocol that medical staff would
pronounce in the jail, and explained to her the issues the department has with this, and how it could affect the
safety and security of the operation. The paramedic finally made the decision that they were going to call the time
of death, and the time of death was called in the garage. She contacted Commander Kaundart who responded
out to the garage. She explained to Commander Kaundart what had occurred, and what she tried to explain to
medical personnel. It was her opinion that Kaundart understood her opinion, and was supporting her in regards to
what she had expressed to the paramedic. Kaundart spoke with the paramedic, but she was not present during
the conversation and does not know what Kaundart said to the paramedic.
She spoke about being present for previous medical issues, where the inmates had been transported and
pronounced at the hospital. She believed that this was normal practice.
I asked Koger about the issues she has with a pronouncement at the jail. She stated that she has issues in
regards to pronouncement specifically in the Women's Module due to the effect it will have on inmates in the jail.
She spoke about feeding inmates, dealing with med rounds, and other day-to-day operations that would be
effected if the module had a crime scene, or a death investigator occurring. She also spoke about how the
operation would be affected if a pronouncement was made in the garage, stating that the scene would have to be
secured, and that officers that were completing arrests in the facility would not be allowed to leave through the
garage and collect their weapons, and they could not accept additional new arrests. She described the facility as
a 24/7 operation, and that they do not have the ability to close.
I asked Koger about how she knows this policy. She stated it was not necessarily under policy and procedure, but
more so a procedure. She stated that it might be written down somewhere as a policy, but she was not certain of
this. She stated that it is standard procedure and/or protocol, that inmates are not pronounced deceased in the
facility. She believes that command staff above her supports this opinion.
I asked if Commander Martinez was present in the garage during the contact with paramedics. She stated that he
was not, but he was in the Women's Module during the actual incident. She believes that Martinez took incident
command during the incident.
I spoke with Koger about the news article where a deputy was reported as saying "No habla" to an inmate in
regards to this incident. Koger stated that she was aware of this, and heard about the statement on the morning
of Saturday, May 28, 2016. She was contacted by Deputy Brittany, who worked the night prior. Brittany
contacted her and told her that she had spoken with Sergeant Kellison and Commander Martinez, about one of
the inmates who wrote or said that a male deputy said something to the effect of "No habla." She spoke with
Deputy Clem about this on Saturday morning. Deputy Clem stated that she did not know about this statement
and/or information. She spoke with Deputy Ken Heck about this statement this morning prior to her interview.
She stated that Heck admitted that he was the one that made this statement, but it was out of context.

Narrative
I asked Koger if she, or if she is aware of anyone completing a debrief with the women inmates in the facility after
this incident. She stated that she is not aware of this, but believes that the inmates did receive victim advocates
on Friday night, after this incident.
Koger stated that she did complete a debrief with her team in regards to this incident, and also spoke at length
about this incident with Commander Martinez. I asked Koger if she needed to add anything additional to this
interview, or if there was anything else she needed to go over in regards to what had occurred. She stated that
there was not. Detective Dillard viewed the interviews via remote television. I asked Detective Dillard if any
additional questions needed to be addressed. He stated that there were none. The interview was concluded at
approximately 1215 hours.
Upon speaking with Deputy Ken Heck, I learned the following information:
He is currently assigned as a Deputy I, assigned to the Jail Division. His hire date is November 11, 2001, and he
has been at the jail for approximately 15 years. He was hired as a Deputy I. He is currently assigned to Team B,
working Thursday through Saturday with rotating Wednesdays. He stated today is his Monday, and this is a short
week for them. He spoke about last week stating it was a long week, and he worked Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday. His normal work hours are from 0645 hours to 1900 hours. He is primarily a module officer
working different modules within the facility.
On the date of this incident, May 27, 2016, he was assigned to the Intake Module, along with Deb Clem, who was
assigned to the Women's Module. I spoke about any issues on the 27th prior to this incident, or any issues he
had prior in the week. He stated that it was a normal week, and it was a normal day. He described the day as
busy and hectic. He stated that it is normally always a busy and hectic position in the jail. He could not speak of
any specific stressors that occurred prior to this incident other than the fact on the 27th he was ill, with a stomach
and gastrointestinal issue.
Heck spoke about receiving pass-on, which is normal procedure on the morning of the incident. He stated that he
was working Intake, and primarily focused his attention on his conversation with the deputy that had the Intake
Module the prior night. He did not recall any pass-on given to Clem from the other module officer, but believes it
occurred, but just did not recall what was said.
He recalled in their briefing prior to receiving pass-on that they spoke of a female that had been taken to the
hospital, but refused treatment. He did not specifically know the inmate was Anderson, but he later learned this
after the incident.
I asked if he recalled anything unusual that occurred in Women's during the course of the day of the 27th. He
stated that the only thing that was unusual was that the inmate in cell #22, Genova, was out during her time out,
dancing, singing, screaming, sometimes clothed and other times nude, or covered partially with a smock or towel.
She was out in the morning hours, he believes sometime after 0730 hours, and was out for approximately an
hour and 15 minutes. He described Genova's behavior as somewhat normal for her, and believes that she has
mental health issues. I spoke about Anderson. He stated that he did not know Anderson, and had never met her
prior to this incident. I asked if he recalled hearing any cries for help, or any other unusual activity in the module
during the course of the day. He stated that he did not hear any cries for help, or anything unusual in the module,
but his primary focus was the Intake Module. He described the Women's Module as full, and knows that rooms
#21 through #26 were full, single bunk. He also believed the other rooms were double bunked, and possibly three
to four rooms were triple bunked.
He stated that the sergeant on his day was Sergeant Koger, and this was her first day as a day shift sergeant. He
believed that the commander was Commander Martinez, also his first day. He later learned that Commander
Kaundart was working, due to the fact that he saw him at the backup call in regards to this incident.
Shortly after med rounds, which he stated were somewhere in the area of 1530 hours, he contacted another
deputy, later identified as Gonzales, to relieve him due to the fact he had to use the restroom urgently. He used
the restroom in the officer work station. While he was in the restroom, he knew that Deputy Clem was completing
a welfare check in the module. Shortly after he heard her enter, he heard her on the intercom system from the
Sub Day Room leading into the officer work station. He heard her state something to the effect of "Open cell #21,

Narrative
the inmate is unresponsive." He could hear her on the intercom stating "Anderson, Anderson wake up." He knew
that Anderson was in cell #21, and described the monitor in the Sub Day Room between cells #24 and #25.
He spoke about working with Clem on a regular basis, and that when he heard her voice on the monitor he
described it as stressful, and out of character for her. He believed that this was a serious situation. He knew that
he needed to get out of the bathroom to assist. He was not certain how long it took him to respond out of the
bathroom, but he estimated between one and four minutes. When he exited the bathroom and entered the
Women's Module, he observed uniformed personnel, as well as medical personnel. He observed they were
treating a female in cell #21 who had been removed from the room and placed on the ground outside of cell #22.
He observed officers and medical staff performing CPR. He was unable to assist due to the amount of people,
and he returned to the officer work station, and then responded into the Intake Module, where he closed several
doors, and locked down other inmates that had not yet locked down due to the medical incident. He returned
back to the Women's Module, and was standing near Kaundart. He assisted medical personnel by moving a
table. He had minimal involvement in this incident. He later spoke with Koger about his involvement, and it was
determined that he would not be documenting his involvement in an incident report. He observed medical
personnel remove Anderson from the module, and believed that they were performing CPR when transporting
her. He never heard any communication between Koger and medical personnel in the module, and never
responded to the garage.
I asked if he spoke with Deputy Clem after the event. He stated that he did not, due to the fact that Clem was
relieved of her post at the time to complete appropriate paperwork.
He spoke about lunch that occurred, and that he took his lunch after Clem did. He believes that Clem took her
lunch between 1150 and 1250 hours. He recalled that he was present when Deputy Kathy Spurgeon responded
in from the Court Transport Unit and asked Anderson about going to court. He learned that Anderson was not
going to court due to the fact she was ill.
While Clem was at lunch, he completed approximately two to three checks in the Sub Day Room, and
approximately one to two checks in the entire module. I asked if anything unusual was occurring during the time
he was watching the Women's Module. He stated that Genova was acting up, talking loudly, and other inmates in
the Sub Day Room were also speaking loudly. He stated that he checked on Anderson, and noted that she
appeared to be sleeping and/or resting, somewhat propped up in the bed. He compared her position as being
similar in nature as the inmate in cell #26. He described the other inmates as being much more vocal, and loud,
and continually asking him questions, and demanding things from him during his checks.
I asked if he ever recalled anyone yelling for help during this time. He stated that after his last check he thought
he heard someone say help when he was exiting the Sub Day Room. He stated that it was very loud, there were
inates out in the Day Room, the inmates in the Sub Day Room were yelling, and he paused for a moment while
he was exiting the door in regards to hearing the work "help." He looked back and realized that it was Genova
who was yelling. He never heard "help" again, but heard Genova continue yelling. He stated he was not
concerned about the statement of "help," due to the fact he had just checked on all the inmates in the Sub Day
Room, and they all appeared to be fine, and were not in distress. He also spoke about the noise in the module,
once again stating that the inmates were out during this time, the TV was playing, and there was radio traffic on
his radio.
He spoke about Genova's behavior, stating that she frequently yells, screams, sometimes stating "I hope you
fucking die," and other times saying that she likes his haircut.
I asked Heck about the news report where an officer is quoted as saying "No habla." Heck stated that he is the
person that made that statement, but he made that statement to Genova, when he was exiting the Sub Day
Room, when he thought he heard the word "help" being yelled, and later learned it was just Genova yelling. He
described it as lighthearted, not derogatory, and that the information was taken out of context. He also believed
after he said this, he told Genova to wait for Deputy Clem to return from lunch.
I confirmed with Heck that during the course of his day he never heard any information in regards to Anderson
requesting help, or appearing that she was in distress. He stated the only issue that he learned about Anderson
was that she was sick, and he learned this information from Deputy Kathy Spurgeon when she tried to speak with

Narrative
Anderson in regards to court, and the information learned in briefing.
I asked Heck if he recalled seeing anything in Anderson's cell. He stated that he did, and recalled seeing a yellow
puddle in the center of the room, to the left of the toilet. He assumed it was urine. He did not see any other items
in the cell other than the suicide smock, and blanket.
He spoke about the Sub Day Room, and stated that the Sub Day Room is for inmates that have behavioral issues,
on suicidal protocol, or on certain levels. He described the Sub Day Room as securing the inmates in the Sub
Day Room from the other inmates in the module. He described the doors in the Sub Day Room as slider doors,
and not easily accessed with a key, other than a few have food ports attached to them. He described the doors
as being only operated from the officer work area.
I asked Heck if there was anything additional he wanted to add in regards to this statement, or if there was
anything additional we needed to cover. He stated that there was not. I checked with Detective Dillard, asking if
there was any additional question that needed to be asked. He stated that there was not. The interview with
Heck was completed at 1410 hours.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Don Dillard, #542
On June 3, 2016, Detective Chris Fiegel and myself had additional follow-up that needed to be conducted which
included us going to the Boulder County Jail to interview and re-interview some of the female inmates. When we
arrived on scene, we had asked to speak with Inmate Stiller who was housed in cell #23, who initially did not want
to talk to us on the date we had come in. I was advised that she had been transported to Pueblo and it was
unknown when she would be back.
I asked to speak to Inmate Langford, who was housed in cell #25, who when we initially began the interviews, did
not want to talk to detectives. She was escorted into an interview room where Fiegel and myself were located, at
which time I introduced myself and Fiegel, and explained why we were there. She stated that like she had told us
the first time, she did not want to talk to us.
The next inmate I asked to step out was Perrigoue. I had previously interviewed her in reference this unattended
death. I asked her to take us back through what had taken place and to specifically ask more detailed questions
in reference these plastic bindle bags that she had found in the vomit. Fiegel and I learned that these small
plastic bindle bags, she said had been tied at the top. She referred to them as "dope bags." Fiegel asked where
she had found them. She said that she found one of the small bags on the left side of the toilet and one on the
right side in between the toilet and the wall. She said the bags were both found in the vomit, which was on the
floor. She said there wasn't any residue that she could see in the bags when she looked at them. She said, she
had brought them out and showed them to the officer working the module, which was Jaramillo, who told her to
throw them away.
I asked if she in fact had done this and stated that in the interview with the jail deputy she said she spoke to, the
deputy said that Perrigoue did not come to her and show her the bindle bags, and she also did not have any
knowledge of these bags. I asked if I was to go back and look at the video would I see her having a conversation
with the jail deputy showing her these bags, and she said that I would. I asked if she was standing outside the cell
when they had the conversation and when she showed them to her, she said that she was and she had held
them out. She said that she had been told to throw them away; however, she placed them in a plastic bag just in
case we changed our mind and wanted them. I asked if she was being honest with us, and I would be watching
the video. She said that she in fact found them and told the jail deputy about them. I thanked her for talking to
me. Before she left, Fiegel had asked about why she thought they were opened at the end and she had made a
comment to us that she felt the two bags had opened in her stomach, causing her to vomit the contents. I
thanked Perrigoue for talking to us again and escorted her back out.
I asked the deputy working the module for Inmate Price who is the module trustee. Price came out and I
introduced myself and Fiegel to her, and explained to her that I was aware she had been interviewed previously

by Bonafede; however, we had some additional questions that had come up through our meetings. We had her
take us back through everything that she had done that day. She told us that as a trustee, she is up at all different
hours of the day to mop the floors and clean the module. She said that on this date of the death, she
remembered the mop bucket coming later than it normally did.
Looking at the video, the mop bucket comes in at 11:18 p.m. The trustee mops the floor and pushes the Day
Room tables towards the bubble wall. At 11:32 PM, the Sub Day Room is unlocked by the deputy. At 11:53 PM,
the deputy opens cell #21 for the trustees. In this case the trustee told the jail deputy that she was not going to
clean the green vomit in the cell, at which point Perrigoue said that she would do it. Perrigoue comes out at 12:02
AM and shows the deputy the two items or an item which is seen at the end of a toilet brush. When the jail
deputy walks past her, the item falls off the toilet brush, at which point Perrigoue picks it up and sets it on the edge
of the trash can rim. The jail deputy walks into the Sub Day Room with a brand new trash bag that she opens.
She pulls the other trash bag off the cell door of #21, tying the new clean bag up on the exterior door on cell #21.
During this time Perrigoue walks out, removes the item she had placed on the rim of the trash can, which is sitting
in the multipurpose room just outside the Sub Day Room, and placed that into the clean plastic bag as she
described to me.
Based on this information and without having gone through all of the video at this time, Perrigoue's story is
consistent with the video I received from Sergeant Mike Cavin. To continue my interview with the trustee, her
story is also consistent with having to wait for the mop being that she had swept the floors, and once the mop
bucket came in she began cleaning the floors in the multipurpose room before Perrigoue goes in to clean the
vomit in cell #21. Once this was all completed, Fiegel and myself went back up to the front of the jail to obtain the
visitation logs as well as to ask about the video in reference the cleanup of cell #21.
When I walked into the front area into Mike Cavin's office, I had prior knowledge that Computer Forensic Analysis
Investigator Jeremy Shavin had shown up at the same time Fiegel and myself did to the jail. He met with
Sergeant Cavin to obtain all the video of the arrival of Anderson, as well as all the footage in reference the death.
I asked Cavin about the cleanup and he stated that he had read Jaramillo's report and had gone back to find the
cleanup of the cell. He said that he did not give that video footage to Shavin, and it was not burned or
downloaded to the external hard drive. I asked him for that video footage and gave him a thumb drive where he
was able to download that cleanup to my thumb drive. This thumb drive will be placed into evidence as DD-5.
With all the information downloaded to the external hard drive, Shavin will set it up so that I can observe who
comes and goes from cell #21, and to also document how many times someone does a cell check in reference
cell #21.
At this time there is nothing further.
Recommended Case Status: Open.
End of report.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Dave Salaman, #534
On 06/01/2016 at approximately 0600 hours, Detective Sergeant Lindsey asked Detective Dillard, Detective
Bonafede, and myself to come in and speak with him. He explained that there were multiple things on a task list
that he needed to get done for the death at the jail on 05/27/2016. One of the top priorities to get done was
interviews with the inmates about what they saw. We all went over to the jail and began with interviews.
I was with Detective Bonafede as he interviewed Naomi Rodriguez and Alexis Wilson. Please see Detective
Bonafede's supplemental report for the information. After those interviews were complete, we were speaking with
Deputy Starr about doing med checks. She explained that she was very busy during a typical day and there are
times where they are not able to press the wand to log the time of the cell checks. She said specifically in the
bubble, that it was a common practice to stand on the chairs and look through the windows for the cell checks.
The bubble area is inclosed in the Women's Module that is sealed off from the other inmates. There are cells #21
through #26. Deputy Starr informed us that Nicole Genova, who was in room #22, is very loud and typically
parades around with no clothes on. Deputy Starr informed us that she was going to be very difficult to speak with.
Detective Bonafede and I went in to the bubble and I began speaking with Ashley Potter through the door.
Ashley explained to me that she did not see or hear anything that happened. I asked her if she knew anything
about the death, and she explained to me that she did not even know that she was dead until a later time.
The next person I spoke to was Marleen Stiller. Marleen told me that she did not hear or see anything except she
could hear the counting when Anderson was having CPR performed on her. Stiller acted like she did not want to

Narrative
talk to me as she sat on her bed and she was very hard to understand.
The last female that was in the bubble was Nicole Genova. I went over and spoke to Nicole about what she had
witnessed, and she explained to me that Anderson was in the cell next to her in room #21. Genova explained that
she did not see anything or hear a whole lot from Anderson. She did say at one point she tried to talk to
Anderson and Anderson would yell at her. I asked her if she ever heard Anderson getting sick, and she told me
that she had not. Genova told me that she stopped hearing Anderson and that she had passed. I asked her why
she thought she was dead, and she told me that her spirit came over and she could tell in the aura of her room
that Anderson had died. Genova would ramble on about Paris Hilton and other celebrities being in the jail. I kept
having to bring Genova back onto track about the incident that had occurred on the 27th. Genova told me that
she did not hear Anderson say anything about being sick or needing any help. Genova said that she saw them
working on Anderson, but again she said that she knew that she was already dead because her spirit was in her
room. Genova did not have any other pertinent information in this case.
At approximately 1322 hours, I brought Kathleen Beyer into one of the interview rooms. I asked Kathleen how
long she had been housed there, and she told me between 74 and 76 days. She was in room #30 and has been
staying there ever since she has been here. I asked her what she saw or heard on the day of the incident, and
she told me that she saw the officers do CPR on her and also shock her. Kathleen told me that she did not know
that Anderson was even in that room. She keeps to herself and kind of keeps away from everybody. I asked her
if it is generally pretty quiet in there, and she told me that it is not. She told me that Genova yells all the time and
is very loud. She explained to me that Clem went in to check on Anderson and that is when everybody started
running in. I asked Kathleen if she has ever heard anything derogatory while she has been housed here, and she
told me that she had heard that a jailer by the name of Heck said "No habla English" to Anderson. She did not
hear this directly, but that was the rumor going around the block. Kathleen did not have any other pertinent
information in this case.
The next person I spoke to was Jennifer Bigelow. She explained to me that she has been here since December
4th in room #5 and now she is in room #6. She explained that Genova is very loud and was worse the day of the
incident. She said she was louder than normal and prancing around naked in her room, climbing the walls, and
showing her "junk off." She also said that Genova did not shut up at all the night previous and that day. They
were locked down for the afternoon on the day of the incident. She then went into Deputy Clem and said that she
is very strict and follows the rules to a T. She said that Clem is very authoritative but is not demeaning in any
way. She said that for the med line that started on the 27th was a new procedure. Clem explained that it was no
longer going to be alphabetical and she was going to unlock one side and it was their responsibility to get up and
take their meds. Once the first side was done then they would unlock the other side, and again it was their
responsibility for them to get up and take their meds. She told me that Clem takes a break when they are on
lockdown after lunch pretty religiously. She said Clem follows a very rigid schedule. I asked her if anybody else
had come in while she was gone, and she thought that Heck had come in, but she had only heard that name. She
thought it was a younger guy that was shorter, but was unsure of the deputy's name. She told me that the med
line was early that day and got done around 2:40 in the afternoon. She knew this because the nurse said that the
new procedure had worked very well and they got done a lot quicker than normal. I asked her if any rounds got
done while the med line was going on, and she told me that they never do rounds when the med line is going on.
She said that Clem did a round right after med line. She explained that once med line was done, Clem unlocked
the one side for a very short period of time and then went and did her cell checks. She estimated this between
four and seven minutes as she was making a cup of coffee and it was taking a while for the instant coffee to
dissolve. She explained to me that everyone got locked down by another male deputy that came in as they were
doing CPR on her. She told me that it took a little while for the ambulance to get there. She could not see them
doing CPR, but could only hear the counts going on and she could hear every time she got shocked. She
estimated that Anderson got shocked about six times. She also heard paramedics give her two rounds of epi.
Bigelow was unsure if Anderson was in the bubble or not, as she could not see them and only hear them. She
reiterated that anybody that lives in the bubble, it is impossible for them to sleep because of Genova. The only
time they are able to get sleep is when Genova is asleep. She said that after the incident, Leah, who was in room
#24, put up toilet paper letters against the window. She told me that they stated, "She begged for help for the last
hour of her life. Sorry do not speak English/Espanol." I asked her if she heard anybody say that, and she told me
that she did not. She explained that it would be impossible for anybody to hear that unless they lived in the

Narrative
bubble. She told me that the people that were in the bubble at the time of the incident started off on the left side
of room #21 as Anderson, Genova, Stiller, Leah, Jamie, and Charlie. She told me that they would probably have
the best information out of anybody of what had occurred.
The next inmate I talked to was Mary Iron-Moccasin. She told me that she has been an inmate here since May
12th and was in room #18. She told me that she was sleeping and did not even know that anybody had died until
her roommate woke her up later on that day.
The next inmate I interviewed was Lourdes Kouzougian. Lourdes told me that she was in the bubble for three
weeks in room #21 before. She said that it was a very cold room and once she got moved out of there she went
into room #25. She told me on the day of the incident she was in room 25 and she had just finished bible class
and came back in. As they were still outside of her cell, she saw a guard pumping on the decedent's chest. She
did not see who the guard was and she said that they were also pumping on her chest as they wheeled her out of
the pod. She explained to me that she used to work at Longmont in the ER, and she thought it was very strange
that they were still pumping on her chest. I asked her why she thought it was strange, and she told me that it was
obvious that she was dead. She did hear one of the head people that came in that was a female state, "Why does
it have to happen here?" She told me that the guards told anybody that was out in the open area to look away
and face the wall. She explained that the next day they were not allowed to watch TV and no newspapers were
allowed in the cells. She then went on to explain that the person in #22 always makes a lot of noise and dances
around naked. She also said that she gives everybody the finger and did not understand why she was still in the
jail. She told me that she belonged in a hospital or some type of institution. I asked her if anything happened
earlier in the day, and she told me that people were watching in the bubble, but did not see what was going on. I
asked her if she heard anything derogatory from any of the guards or anybody else earlier in the day, and she told
me that she did not.
The next inmate I interviewed was Sarah McCarthy. She explained to me that she has been here since the 12th
of May. She started off in the bubble and then since moved to room #1. She told me that she didn't see anything.
She explained that she heard Clem say lockdown and went into the bubble. She saw a nurse come in shortly
thereafter and heard them call for an EMT. She told me it took approximately 15 to 20 minutes before the EMT
finally arrived. She could hear them counting 1 through 30, and was assuming that they were doing CPR. She
could also hear them say "clear" as they were giving her shocks. She estimated that EMT was there around 20
minutes and she could still hear the counting and periodic shocking. I asked her if she heard anything prior to that
or if anybody had said anything derogatory, and she told me that she had not. She had overheard that Leah, who
was in room #24 in the bubble, had heard an officer say something bad. She did say that on Leah's window it
was written, "She died screaming officer, officer said no habla English." Sarah did not have any other pertinent
information in this case.
The next inmate I talked to was Palmer Pacheco. She said that she has been housed here since April 26th in
room #13. She said they were getting ready for dinner and got locked down. She told me that she did not see
anything that occurred during the incident or anything prior. She told me that she talked with Leah Baum and had
a decent relationship with her. She said that Leah was locked in the bubble until Saturday night around 8:00.
Tuesday morning around 5:00 a.m., Palmer went up to talk with Leah and she gave her a bunch of paperwork.
Leah asked her to give it to somebody if they came and talked to her about the death. Leah told Palmer that she
didn't know what to do and this was her only avenue. The paperwork that Palmer gave me that was from Leah
was an Inmate Request Form for the Boulder County Jail, a Boulder County Sheriff's Office Grievance Worksheet
dated 04/22/2016, an Inmate Grievance Form #2016-045, a letter written out and signed by Leah Baum, another
letter written by Leah Baum, and another piece of paper with some writing on it. The letter stated the following:
Since April 22nd, I have insufficiently sat in jail mainly because I'm homeless and can't make bail. I took three
trips to the bubble on suicide prevention, S.P., where they take away everything and leave you alone in solifuly.
There are only six cells in the bubble for the severely mentally ill, suicidal, and people in trouble. One night I got a
new bubble S.P. neighbor. Anderson is the name, I will never forget her. They put her in cell #21, I was in #24.
God, forgive me, I should have done more. Annoyed, I listened to her whimper and cry. God, I didn't know she
would die. She coughed, hacked, puked and whined all day. God, I'm sorry, I was relieved when the noise went
away. I had yelled at her to shut up. These memories have me fucked up. I yelled at her to stop pounding on the
door. Hours later she was dead on the floor. her last whining words were "Officer," but the guard just made fun

of her. He whined back, "Officer no habla English." Then she was found dead and blue in the face. Dear
Andersons, I'm sorry, I'm filled with regret and shame. God, I quite possibly, may never be the same, but mark my
words, I will testify Deputy K. Heck, left Anderson die.
Then it was signed by Leah Baum.
I made a copy of the paperwork and placed the original into evidence after I was completed at the jail.
The next inmate I spoke with was Samantha Spies. She told me that she did not see anything. She heard them
call for medical and was assuming they were doing compressions as she could hear them counting. Samantha
told me that she really keeps to herself and did not want to get involved. The only thing Samantha told me that
she heard is that when Anderson first came in that she was very sick. Samantha did not have any other
information pertinent to this case.
The next inmate I spoke with was Stephanie Scalese who was housed in room #2. I asked her what she had
seen, or heard, and she told me that she was in class and did not see much before. She did state that they
started a new thing for meds. She said that they were locked down and could hear the panic in the peoples'
voices as they called out for medical. She saw multiple people running into the bubble and also called for an
ambulance. She remembered the specific time when they asked for an ambulance, which was at 3:58 p.m. She
said as that was going on, some guy guards that she did not know were walking around doing cell checks. She
stated that quite a while longer some EMTs came in with a stretcher. She thought it was odd because they were
there for so long and figured that the person was dead. She said that they did call for a backboard and brought
that in. Stephanie told me that she also had a very bad headache that day and her roommate was at the window,
so she did not see a lot.
The next inmate I talked to was Heather Tate that was in room 13. She explained to me that it was a pretty
normal day and nothing stuck out in her head that was odd in the morning. She could see in the bubble and could
see them doing CPR and counting. She thought it was odd that this went on for about 45 minutes. Heather
thought that there was no way that this person is still alive with them working on her for that long. Heather was
upset because she understood that everybody in the bubble should have been checked every 15 minutes.
Heather felt that thi did not occur and that everybody was not safe here at the jail. She went on to express her
concerns that if she was choking in her cell which was 95% of the time, that nobody would even know and she
could potentially die. Heather had no other pertinent information to this case.
The next inmate I spoke with was Shela Wagner in room #6. Shela explained that her room is directly above
Anderson's. She did not see a whole lot, but could definitely hear something. She said that the night before and
during that entire day Nicole was yelling and running around naked. She said Nicole kept yelling to Anderson to
"Die bitch, die." She also told her to kill herself. She said that that went on for a very long time, and again
expressed that it was all night and during the day. She told me that it finally quieted down in the afternoon. She
explained that Nicole yells and dances around naked all the time. She said that that never stops and they
typically have to put up newspaper against the window so they don't have to watch her do that as they try and eat.
She explained that she went back into her room after getting her medicine and could hear them doing CPR. She
didn't hear anything derogatory, just rumors. Shela did not elaborate on any of the rumors that she heard. Shela
expressed the one thing that upset her is that as they were doing CPR on Anderson, she could hear the officers
laughing. She said it was very obvious that Anderson was dead, as they were pushing her out of the cell because
she was blue. She told me that the next day on Leah's window there was writing on it. Leah is in the bubble and
put on her window that she was screaming, "Officer help me. Officer said no habla English." Shela explained that
the next day they brought another lady into room #21 and Nicole started all over again. She said that this was
very upsetting and kept giving her flashbacks to the day before. The lady was asking for help and saying that
Nicole was driving her crazy. She said that the lady hit her head on the door and they put her in the strap-down
chair because of it. Shela did not have any other information pertinent to the investigation.
I went back to the Women's Module to find out who was left to be interviewed. I learned that Ashley Potter wanted
to speak with me. Ashley was currently in #24 in the bubble. I brought Potter into one of the interview rooms and
asked her what she wanted to let me know. Potter explained that she just got put in the bubble recently because
she had acted out because of the incident. She told me that Anderson was sick and she could hear her gagging a

lot. She told me that she was in cell #8, which is directly above cell #21. She told me that everybody is very
mistreated at the jail and she was really upset about the whole incident. She told me that while Clem was on her
lunch break, the other male officer that she did not know was there. She said that she could hear Anderson
asking the male officer for something and he told her that it wasn't his job to do that, and then chuckled as he
walked out. The chuckling is really what upset Potter. Potter explained the next thing she heard was at around
3:45 when she heard Clem yelling at Anderson. She said Nicole was saying, "She's dead, she's dead." She
stated that Nicole got away with everything and she was always going off in her room and threatening the inmates
next to her and driving them crazy. She said that the night before the incident occurred, that staff had threatened
Nicole with the chair and she also heard the taser go off. She wasn't a hundred percent sure who it was for, but
thought it was for Nicole. She said once all the guards came in to help Clem, she heard them say, "Let's do CPR
so that it looks like we're trying to do something." Someone came in that she thought was possibly an EMT and
was yelling at the guards. She was very upset about what the guards were doing and at one point even swore at
them. She said as Anderson was being taken out, it was obvious that she was dead, as her head was uncovered.
She thought it was very disrespectful that they didn't cover her face as they were moving her out. She did say
that Reiss was on top of her doing very hard compressions. Her impression was that he was pressing down a lot
harder than needed to be done. She told me the next day they moved a girl in with purple hair and she didn't
know her name. They put her in #21 and Nicole started on her as soon as she got in there. The girl was getting
very upset and wanted to get out of that cell because of Nicole. She pounded her head on the door and she saw
the guards come in with the chair. She thought to herself that finally Nicole was going to get in trouble for her
actions, and they went in to room #21 and put the girl with the purple hair in the chair instead of Nicole. Potter
said that this upset her and she started to act out and was yelling at the deputies. She explained that this was the
reason why she got into trouble and had to go into the bubble.
After conferring with Detective Bonafede and Detective Dillard, we went over and spoke with Sergeant Cavin who
was working on the video. Sergeant Cavin explained that he was not done downloading all the video from the jail
and that should be complete on the 2nd. He told me that he would give me a call as soon as it was done so we
could get the copies. I called Building C and learned that Alicia Barton was transferred to LCTC and was not in
the jail. Maria Carrasco was currently at the gym and wouldn't be back to Building C until approximately 1900
hours. Elana McBruide was transferred to Washington County and was no longer there.
Upon returning to Headquarters, I made copies of all the documentation that was given to me on Leah Baum's
behalf. I also placed all the items into evidence.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Dave Salaman, #534
On 06/01/2016 at approximately 2017 hours, Detective Bonafede and I went over to the jail and interviewed
several people. We went and spoke with Sergeant Kellison who informed us that Tanner Mitchell was working in
Discipline. He made arrangements for Tanner to get relieved so he could come out and talk with us. That
occurred at approximately 2017 hours.
Tanner said that he was working Medium and got called for him to get dressed and do a med run at approximately
2250 hours. He said that he knew he was transporting Stephanie Anderson to the hospital for chest pains. He
said that as they were going to the hospital she was very quiet, but did not want to get seat belted in. Once they
got to the hospital, they went into the ER and as she was getting checked in, she wasn't talking about chest pains
anymore, but was talking about lower abdomen pains. She eventually got brought in to room #10 and they started
doing the EKG. When they took her bra off, a cell phone and lighter fell out onto the sheets. Deputy Mitchell
retrieved these items, which he later brought back to the jail to get placed in with her property. Deputy Mitchell
explained that at about halfway through her getting checked out, she started yelling and complaining that she was
not getting the proper medication that she wanted or needed. He explained that as it progressed, Anderson said
that she wanted Vicodin. She didn't take the prescription medication that was prescribed to her, which was for a
urinary tract infection and anti-nausea medication. She told them that she wanted to take it through an IV and not
take pills. She started yelling at the doctors and trying to get out of her cuffs that were both on her right hand and
right leg. She started yelling, "Fuck these doctors" and "They don't know what they're doing." When the nurse
came back in to give Anderson her pills, she threw up, which was described by Deputy Mitchell as she making
herself throw up. He explained that it was all clear liquid and did not have any bile in it. They then tried to give
Anderson her medication and she stuck them in her mouth and spit them back out and said that she couldn't
swallow them. She then started yelling at all the doctors and all the staff, and started telling Deputy Mitchell, "Kill
me now," and to "Shoot me now." He said once he got all the prescriptions and the release paperwork, he loaded
her back up into the transport vehicle and she was quiet all the way back. I asked him if she acted sick or was
keeled over in any fashion, and he told me that she was not. He said once they got to 55th Street, he believes he
got a call from Master Control that informed him that they forgot to give him two prescriptions. He drove back and
she was still cooperative during the entire time and was not complaining of any pain. He could not remember
once he got back to the jail which nurse he gave the paperwork to, but said that it contained three to four
prescriptions and discharge paperwork. Deputy Mitchell told me that he did an incident report on the suicide
protocol, but did not do one for the rest of the transport. I asked Deputy Mitchell to perform an incident report
under the same supplement to get that done.

Narrative
Detective Bonafede documented the interview with Deputy Brittany Jaramillo and Maria Carrasco. Please see his
supplemental report for that information.
I spoke with Sergeant Avina and asked him when Lenny Rothermund would be coming to work. He explained
that he would be here about 2200 hours. I asked Sergeant Avina to call Lenny to see if he could come in to work
earlier or if we could meet him at his house.
While waiting for Lenny to come into work, I began putting together a list of the inmates that we still needed to talk
to. The inmates that were released or bonded out were Kristina Back, Robin Borchert, Victoria Brendefur,
Yolanda Lopez, Ashlee Mitchell-Martinez, and Kay Patterson; all bonded out. I learned that Leah Baum was in
Pueblo County. Elasia Colbert was in Douglas County. Rhonda Heidelbaugh was in Arapahoe County. Amanda
Jewell was in Jefferson County. Elana McBruide and Deanna Trujillo were in Washington County.
At approximately 2200 hours, I went over and spoke with Lenny Rothermund, who is a nurse at the jail. I asked
him about the incident, and he said around 2300 hours, he was called down to booking to check out Stephanie
Anderson. He said that she was complaining of chest pains that were moving into her stomach and back. He
checked her blood pressure, which was high, and she had a history of cardiomyopathy. He said that Renee was
also there and they decided that they should send her to the hospital to get checked out. When she returned,
Deputy Mitchell gave Renee the paperwork and would know more information about the conversation when they
came back. The only thing he could remember was that she had a prescription for antibiotics for a urinary tract
infection. While speaking with Lenny, he was very short on his answers and did not seem to want to talk with us.
I spoke with Sergeant Avina at the jail who told me that Renee's last name is Sardello and she is not working until
tomorrow night, which would be June 2nd, and she comes in at 2200 hours. He did give me the phone number
for Renee so that I could call her the following day.

Reporting Detective J Shuler #540
On 060716, I called and left messages for Tino Quintana, date of birth 103179 and Misty Woods, date of birth
051685. In the message, I advised who was I was and that I was interested in speaking with them about
Stephanie. Both returned my call a short time later and left messages for me. I called Tino first and again
introduced myself to him. I advised I was calling to talk to him about Stephanie, the phone calls/texts she made
from the jail and her health history. Tino agreed to speak with me however he sounded somewhat confused. He
said he talked and texted with Stephanie while she was in jail. During their communication she never mentioned
anything about not feeling well or her heart. I asked about her heart condition and he said she had myopathy. He

Narrative
asked me a few times who I was and that he didn't understand why I was calling. Tino then said he thought I was
calling from the coroner's office and that he should talk to his attorney before talking to me. I told him I
understood and that I was very sorry for his loss. He became upset and told me we "killed her" and that she was
"screaming for help" and we didn't help her. He said she deserved help even though she was in jail. I told him I
was assigned to investigate her death and that I was trying to get as much information about her as I could. He
continued to tell me she was "only 29 years old" and the he and their 3 children would never be the same. I told
him I understood if he didn't want to talk to me or if he wanted to talk to an attorney first. He said he had an
attorney and that maybe "I should be asking you some questions!" I told him I would try to answer them if he had
any and he ended our conversation.
I called and spoke with Misty who agreed to speak with me. I told her that her name has come up during this
investigation and I wanted to ask her about the time Stephanie was transported to the hospital from her house as
well as the contact they had the night Stephanie was arrested. She told me they were at her house making
Easter baskets for her (Stephanie) 3 children and her (Misty) youngest child when all of a sudden Stephanie told
her to call for help. Misty said her face went pale, she was sweating and holder her arms over her head. She
called 9-1-1 and followed the directions the dispatcher gave her which included giving Stephanie aspirin. The
ambulance arrived and upon checking Stephanie decided to transport her to Denver General/Denver Health.
Misty stayed behind with the children and told her to call when she was going to be released. Stephanie was
released the following evening and given a prescription for heart medication. Misty said she picked her up from
the hospital and at some point, Stephanie told her she was at risk for a heart attack.
I asked if Stephanie said anything about her health or not feeling well the night she was calling and texting from
the jail. She said she did not; just that she wanted her to bond her out of jail as soon as possible. Misty later said
Stephanie wanted to get out because she left her children with a babysitter. She told Misty there was a check at
her house and to use that for bail money. Misty said she had a $250 bond however had to wait until Stephanie
went to court on her new charges. She called the jail the following day and was told Stephanie would have court
later that afternoon at 1:00 pm. She was advised to call back after 3 for more information. Misty called back and
they told her they still did not have any information and to call after 5:00 pm. Misty called back again and was told
"we no longer have her." It wasn't until later through friends that she learned Stephanie died. She said she also
heard an inmate called and said she heard Stephanie "screaming and asking for help." She believed her friend
would have done this because she is very loud and would have asked for help.
I asked how long they had been friends and she said since they were 10 years old. She then advised she had
taken Stephanie to the hospital a few times prior to her admittance to Denver General. She couldn't remember
the name of the hospital but said it was in the area of Wadsworth and Alameda. I queried the area and believe
she was taken to Belmar Hospital at 260 S. Wadsworth Blvd. During those visits the doctor's advised her blood
pressure was low and she needed oxygen. She was released with a few extra "pills" for her heart to "get
through". I'm unsure if she was given a prescription at that time or not.
I called Juanita again however her number is still disconnected.
I relayed the medical history to Boulder County Coroner Investigator Kim Seifert.
Recommended case status is: Open.

Narrative
Case Report 16-3037
Reporting Detective Mark Spurgeon #537
I was tasked with interviewing Deputy Stephanie Gonzales, who was in the officer work station of the
intake/women's module during the time Anderson was found unresponsive.
On June 8, 2016, at 0710 hours I made phone contact with Gonzales. The interview with Gonzales with digitally
recorded and submitted to evidence item MJS-4. Upon speaking with Gonzales I learned the following:
She was aware of why I was calling and she had been on vacation out of state since this incident occurred. She
has not completed a supplemental report to the IR report at the jail.
She is currently assigned to Classification. On the date of this incident at approximately 1550 hours she was
called to relieve the Intake Officer, Kenneth Heck. Her work schedule that day was from 0600 to 1600. When she
arrived in the officer work station Deputy Deb Clem was there and Heck was in the officer work station restroom.
She learned that Heck was having stomach issues. Clem stated she was going into the women's module to do a
suicide protocol check. She didn't know what room Clem started her check at due to the fact she was speaking
with an inmate in the intake module at the officer work station window.
Shortly after Clem entered the module she called Gonzales on the sub day room intercom, asking for cell 21 to be
opened, and that she wasn't getting a response from the female inmate. She assumed Clem called her via the
intercom because she, Gonzales doesn't normally work with this team and she didn't think Clem knew her radio
number. She opened cell 21 and left the intercom on and could hear Clem yelling Anderson's name. I short time
later Clem called for medical back up for an unresponsive inmate.
Gonzales remained in the officer work station and ran the doors during the incident. She entered the module one

Narrative
time during the incident while Anderson was receiving medical intervention. She recalled dealing with an inmate in
cell 9 or 10 who was yelling. She described the inmate as having a panic attack and she assisted medical with
giving this inmate her afternoon medications. She did not assist with the medical intervention of Anderson, and
she was only in the module for a brief time. She walked with medical to the booking area to open doors for them.
I asked if she recalled hearing anything during the time she had the intercom on, was it quit, or was it loud. She
stated she couldn't be sure but thought that it was quit. She didn't recalling hearing anything unusual during this
time. She recalled that half of the inmates were out during the time of this incident. She described the module as
being on a split lock down. She wasn't certain which portion of the module was out during this incident.
She did not know Anderson and had never dealt with her the past. Classifications never dealt with Anderson since
she was brought into the jail due to the fact she had not yet been processed. She stated this is normal protocol.
I asked Gonzales if there was anything else she needed to add to this report or if there was something else we
needed to talk about. Gonzales stated that she felt we covered everything. This concluded my contact with
Gonzales.
This completes my involvement in this case.

Case 16-3037
Detective Polly Miller #545
On June 8 I listened to more phone conversations from the jail. Jamie Waggoner made a phone call to Greg
Punnicliff. On May 30 she called him and asked if he had read the article about what happened at the jail. He said
he did and he thinks the jails biggest problem is there has been three deaths at the jail in the last year. She said
ok, and she did not want to talk about it anymore since the phone call was being recorded. She told Greg
detectives have been over to the jail trying to get her talk to them about what she knows. She told him she saw

Narrative
and heard everything but she does not want to get pulled into this investigation. She has not told anyone,
anything. She told him she has enough on her plate right now. On 31st she called Greg and told him she is sitting
on something but she wants to talk to him about it when she gets out. Again she commented on how the phone
was being recorded so she didn't want to say anything more than that. During her conversations with Greg, she
mentions she caught one of the nurses stealing her medications. She also mentioned this happens a lot in BCTC
as well.
I listened to phone calls of Haley Price since she is one of witnesses. She called her mom, Wendy Baum on May
30 and read her a poem she wrote. She told her mom she has not slept more than a couple hours at a time since
the 22nd. She read the poem and it went like this;
Since April 22nd I have innocently sat in jail
mainly because I'm homeless and can't make bail
I took three trips to the suicide bubble SP
where they take everything from you and leave you alone in solitary
there are only 6 cells in the bubble
for the severally mentally ill, suicidal and people in trouble
one night I got a new bubble SP neighbor
Anderson's the name, I'll never forget her
they put her in cell 21 and I was in 24
God forgive me, I should have done more
Annoyed, I listened to her whimper and cry
God I didn't know she would die
she coughed, hacked, pucked and whined all day
God I'm sorry I was relieved when the noise went away
I had yelled at her to shut up
these memories have me fucked up
I yelled at her to stop pounding on her door
hours later she was dead on the floor
her last whining words were "officer" but the guard just made fun of her
he whined back "no ablo englis"
then she was found dead, blue in the face
Dear Anderson, I am sorry I'm filled with regret and shame
God I could quite possibly never be the same
mark my words I will testify
Deputy K. Heck, let Anderson die
She said she felt better after she wrote the poem.
I queried for phone calls made by Langford, Stiller and Genova between 5/30 and 6/8 and found none. These
woman were in the "bubble" during this incident and could possibly be witnesses. The only calls Perriqoue made
between those two dates were to probation and the public defenders office.
The next query was for phone calls made inside the subday room phone which is named WOMENS 2 in the ICS
system. I put dates of 6/2 through 6/8. There were 11 completed calls and 9 of them were made by Ashley Potter.
The first one on 6/2 started with her calling her mother Lisa Potter and telling her to call everyone to get her out of
there. She told her mom she is going crazy with all crazy female that is in there. They keep her locked up too long,
and then they let her out at 3 in the morning.
I listened to the rest of the phone calls and found no other additional information related to this case.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Jeff Pelletier, #538
On June 2, 2016, I was assigned to obtaining a search warrant for the phone of Stephanie Anderson, which was
entered into evidence under item number DD2 by Detective Don Dillard. I obtained the warrant on this date and it
was signed by Honorable Judge Patrick Butler with the Boulder District Court. A copy of the warrant was supplied
to Detective Jeremy Shavin for completing the search of the phone. For further information reference the
information found on the phone, please refer to Detective Shavin's supplemental report, which shows evidence
Anderson was using the phone, including text messages and Facebook messages, while she was in custody at
the Boulder County Jail.
On June 3, 2016 at approximately 1105 hours, I arrived at the Jefferson County Jail where they were currently
housing Amanda Jewell, date of birth 09/18/82. Amanda was present at the Boulder County Jail in the Women's
Module when Stephanie was found deceased in her cell. The Jefferson County Jail deputies arranged for me to
have a contact visitation room with Amanda and she was brought into the room as well. I was in the room prior to
Amanda being brought there. This interaction and interview with Amanda was recorded and the recording was
later placed into evidence as item number JMP1.
When Amanda walked into the room after the door was opened, she looked at me and she immediately began to
tear up and it was quite obvious that she was upset. I explained to her that she was not in trouble and she said
that she knew this. When I first started to explain why I was there to speak with her, she was slightly hesitant to
speak with me about it and she said that the Boulder County Jail scares her and she does not want to go back.
The following is a summary of the interview with Amanda. For further information, please refer to the recording
placed into evidence.
Amanda was housed in the Women's Module at the Boulder County Jail for a few days, including prior to
Stephanie's arrival at the Boulder County Jail. She said that on May 27, 2016, she woke up at approximately
1100 hours for lunch time. She said that they get out for lunch at around 1130 and are out until approximately
1330 every day. Amanda said that she did not remember any cell checks for approximately three hours leading
up to Stephanie being found in her cell deceased by Deputy Debra Clem. When I asked her about this later in the
interview, she said that she could not remember any checks being done until after Stephanie was found
deceased. Prior to that, she didn't remember many checks, but did specifically remember checks at night time,
due to the beeping that would occur approximately every 15 minutes. This was how she helped keep time during
the night time. Amanda said that after they are let out for lunch time between 11:30 and 1:30, they lock back
down. They then come back out for dinner time later in the day, but she said this did not occur on this date due to
Stephanie being found deceased, and they were required to eat their dinner trays in their cells.
Amanda described that Stephanie began making this noise at approximately 1230 hours, while Amanda was out.
She said she knew it was Stephanie making this noise, since she was out and could see Stephanie actually hitting
the door and making the noise. She said that there was another noisy female party inside of the "bubble" who
has the last name Genova. I specifically asked if she could tell if it was for sure Stephanie and she said that it
was. She said that Genova was making noise throughout the day and she typically would. However, at one point
while Genova was out inside of the bubble, Genova got in trouble and was placed in a restraint chair at
approximately 1430 hours. Amanda described that once Genova was placed in the restraint chair, she became
quiet. Amanda described this as being quite unusual for Genova. After Genova got quiet, Amanda was still out of
her cell and she could see and hear that Stephanie was still pounding on the door and asking for help. Amanda
described hearing Stephanie crying, vomiting, and specifically asking for medical help. She was asking to see a
nurse and asking for help.

Narrative
Amanda also explained that she was housed in cell #32, which is on the upper level in a corner where she can
see almost all of the cells inside of the module. She said that she had not seen or heard Stephanie prior to that,
and all she could remember about Stephanie was her crying and asking for help prior to her being found
deceased.
I asked about which deputies were working in the Women's Module on that day. She explained that Deputy
Debra Clem and Deputy "Hines" were working the cell that day. It was later clarified that this was in fact Deputy
Heck. She described that Deputy Clem and Deputy Heck were in and out of the module for the entire day.
Amanda said that there was a problem with another inmate in cell #10 that day who was constantly asking for help
and being very needy. She said that Deputy Clem was constantly in and out of the module dealing with that
particular inmate. She said that she could see Heck coming in and out of the cell, but she did not specifically
remember him doing any cell checks. She said she remembered them having to do the checks about every 15
minutes.
At approximately 1330 hours, Amanda remembered Deputy Heck inside of the bubble. She wasn't sure why he
was there and she did not remember him doing checks at the time. She said that Stephanie was asking for help
while Deputy Heck was inside of the bubble. She personally heard Deputy Heck say, "No habla ingles" to
Stephanie. I asked how she knew he was specifically saying that to Stephanie and not another inmate, such as
Genova, and she described Deputy Heck as having been standing directly outside of Stephanie's door and at that
moment in time, Stephanie was the only one asking for help. I asked what Deputy Heck did after making this
comment and she said that he left the module. I again asked if he had continued doing any checks of cells and
she said that she thought he just left the module immediately after making the comment.
I asked what Amanda saw when Stephanie was found deceased. She said that Stephanie was found in her cell
unresponsive by Deputy Clem and immediately multiple other personnel came to the module to assist. Amanda
personally saw the deputies remove Stephanie from her cell and out into the "bubble" to work on her. She said
that she saw Stephanie's face was blue and purple. She remembered the deputies moving her arms and
Stephanie's arms just falling to her side, and it was clear to Amanda that Stephanie was unresponsive. She
remembered deputies and medical personnel doing CPR on Stephanie for approximately 30 to 45 minutes, and it
did not seem to help her.
I asked Amanda if she ever saw inside of Stephanie's cell and she said that nobody was allowed to see the inside
of it. Amanda said that after the incident, she spoke with another inmate with the last name of Price, who she
thought was the only one that saw the inside of the cell as she was to clean it. She said that Price explained to
her she tried to save the bucket of water that was used to clean up the vomit, which she described as lime green,
but "they took it" and she didn't know where it went. I asked Amanda if Price ever said anything about finding
anything else in the cell other than the vomit and she said that Price never said anything about other items within
the cell. She did continue by saying that Price did not really want to speak about the incident, since she was very
shaken up by the incident itself, just like many of the other females in the module.
After Amanda explained having heard Stephanie start making noise, crying and asking for help at approximately
1230 hours, I asked Amanda about what time she stopped hearing Stephanie make noise. She said Stephanie
was consistently making noise for a couple of hours. I asked about how long this noise stopped prior to Stephanie
being found unresponsive in her cell, and she said that she could not really remember as she did not have view
of a clock for time. She said that she would not want to estimate as she could not really remember how long it
was between when she stopped hearing Stephanie and her being found unresponsive. I asked Amanda about
how many times Stephanie specifically asked for someone in particular, such as a nurse or medical help, as
opposed to just crying or hearing noises and pounding on the door. Amanda estimated it was up to 10 times that
Stephanie was asking for help inside of her cell. I also spoke with Amanda about her own mental health since the
incident. She has been very shaken up and has not been able to sleep since then. Every time she tries to sleep,
she says she can hear Stephanie crying, which keeps her from being able to sleep. She said that she has put in
a request to speak with mental health professionals at the Jefferson County Jail since she is being housed there
at this very moment. They explained to her that the wait would be quite some time as there are many inmates in
line in front of her. They did also provide her with a hotline to call to assist her with her thoughts and try to help
her with her sleeping.

Narrative
Amanda explained that they weren't allowed to speak with anybody after the incident, in particular mental health
personnel or deputies. She described Deputy Heck on the day after Stephanie's death as being "intimidating."
She said that she could not particularly describe why she felt this way about him, but she described a change in
his demeanor and the way he walked around the module starting on the following day. Amanda said that multiple
inmates had asked him for help or asked to speak with him, and he would not talk to anyone about the incident.
Amanda explained to me that she felt like the Boulder County Jail is more of a mental health facility as opposed to
a jail like she was familiar with from previous stays at other jails, including the Jefferson County Jail. I asked if
this was due to the types of inmates that were in our jail in comparison to others, or if it was created by staff. She
said that this feeling was based on the inmates that are actually housed at the Boulder County Jail and their
behaviors.
At the end of the interview, I provided Amanda with one of my business cards with my contact information on it. I
explained to Amanda that if she thought of anything else after the interview that she wanted to tell me, she could
get a hold of me by asking to call me from the Jefferson County Jail or she could write me a letter. Amanda
thanked me for this information and thanked me for speaking with her, as she said this helped make her feel
better about the incident. That concluded our contact and I then left the visitation room.
While at the Jefferson County Jail, I also collected a disc and paperwork containing a record of all of Amanda's
phone calls from the Jefferson County Detention Facility. The disc contains the audio from these calls and the
paperwork contains a list of the record of calls. After the incident at the Boulder County Jail with Stephanie's
death, Amanda was transferred to the Jefferson County Jail on May 31, 2016. She had only made one phone call
and this call was to her mother. She said she did not really speak with her mother about this incident, just
explaining in general what happened. I had also spoken with a deputy prior to the interview with Amanda at the
Jefferson County Jail, who stated that in the phone call he listened to between Amanda and her mother, Amanda
mentions a letter she wrote to her mother from within the Boulder County Jail. I asked Amanda about this letter
and she said it was written to her mother on a few pages of paper and it once again only gave basics about the
incident. I asked Amanda if anything would be in this letter that she had not told me and she said that there would
not. Staff at the Jefferson County Jail explained that they would provide an outside agency assist report for their
reviewing of the phone call audio and provide that to me at a later date. I provided my business card with my
contact information on it so they could provide this report to me when available. The audio disc and the
paperwork provided to me by the Jefferson County deputies remained in my possession and were entered into
evidence as item number JMP2.
At approximately 1340 hours on this same day, I arrived at the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office Detention Center.
I arranged for an interview with Rhonda Heidelbaugh, date of birth 09/21/82. Rhonda was also housed in the
Women's Module on the date of Stephanie's death. The jail staff arranged for us to be in an interview room,
where I did complete an interview with Rhonda which was recorded. The following is a summary of this interview.
For further information, please refer to the recording, which was later placed into evidence as item number JMP3.
Rhonda said that on the date Stephanie passed, she remembered Stephanie started yelling for help and crying at
approximately 1430 hours. Rhonda said that her cell, cell #13, which is above the bubble, was out between
approximately 1330 hours and 1630 hours. Rhonda also mentioned an inmate in the cell next to Stephanie, which
she described as "certifiably crazy." She said that she specifically knew that it was Stephanie yelling and banging
on the doors because she could see Stephanie's cell while she was out. Rhonda is friends with another inmate
by the name of Leah, who was housed in the bubble along with Stephanie. She said that Leah was telling her
during their time out that Stephanie was sick.
Rhonda said that at approximately 1500 hours, Deputy Heck went into the bubble for approximately five minutes.
She said that he was not in there very long and he came right back out. She said that shortly after that time in the
bubble by Deputy Heck, she remembered Stephanie stopped banging. She said she wasn't exactly sure on the
time that it stopped, but she did say that it was shortly after Deputy Heck went into the bubble. She described him
using the wand on the doors as he was doing his checks. She said that even though Stephanie was yelling for
help and crying, she remembered Deputy Heck not spending any more time at Stephanie's cell than a "normal
check."

Narrative
Rhonda said that the entire module was locked down at approximately 1600 hours when Stephanie was found
unresponsive in her cell. Rhonda said that she briefly saw inside of Stephanie's cell and she could see green
vomit on the floor. She said she did not see anything else in the cell in her brief view of it. Rhonda described
Stephanie as "You could plainly tell she was dead." Rhonda described Stephanie's face as being blue and purple.
Rhonda said she could also see Stephanie's feet, which were white. Rhonda specifically remembered deputies
moving Stephanie's arm and it repeatedly falling to her side.
Rhonda said she has been having a hard time since witnessing this event. She has since asked to speak with
mental health professionals at the Arapahoe County Jail and has been having a hard time dealing with it. She
said that she is currently housed alone at the Arapahoe County Jail and this is making it even harder for her. I
explained to Rhonda that she should continue to seek out these resources if needed and that concluded our
conversation.
At approximately 1450 hours on this same day, I arrived at the Douglas County Detention Center where I had
arranged tointerview an inmate, identified as Elasia Colbert, date of birth 01/22/96. Elasia was also being
housed in the Women's Module at the time of Stephanie's death. The following is a summary of the interview with
Elasia, which was recorded and the recording was later placed into evidence as item number JMP4. For further
information, please refer to this recording.
Elasia stated that the majority of what she knows about the incident was information that she heard from other
females housed within the Women's Module. She said this is because she had classes on the day Stephanie
died. Her first class was between 0900 and 1030 hours. She then slept until her next class at 1330 to 1500
hours. Elasia stated that when she got back to the module after her last class, the girls were speaking about how
Stephanie was sick and nobody was doing anything about it.
Elasia also mentioned another female inmate, who was housed in cell #10. She said that this female was
constantly yelling that she was dying and needed help. Elasia said that this female was housed in Women's prior
to Stephanie's arrival in the Women's Module or at the jail. Elasia stated that after the incident, she was housed
with Christina Perrigoue, who cleaned the vomit in Stephanie's cell after the event. Elasia stated that Christina
told her there was blood in the vomit and the vomit was green in color. Christina also told Elasia that there was
"plastic" in the vomit. Christina did not tell Elasia any more about the plastic or anything else within the vomit. I
asked Elasia if she knew what Christina did with the items that were in the vomit and she said that she did not
know.
Elasia also explained that "most" deputies at the Boulder County Jail, when performing their regular checks, only
scan the button at the outside of the "bubble." She said that the majority of the deputies do not enter the bubble
to actually look inside of the cells from the cell door windows. Elasia named a few deputies from the jail that do
always check and she described them as being the ones that "care." That concluded our contact after I provided
Elasia with my contact information.
On June 3, 2016 at 1848 hours, I received an email from Deputy Clint Hesting with the Jefferson County Sheriff's
Office. Deputy Hesting is the one that reviewed Amanda Jewell's phone call from the Jefferson County Detention
Center. The subject title line was "Jeffco Report 16-13667" and the contents were as follows:
Now that it's been approved:
On 06/03/2016 I received a request from the Boulder County Sheriff's Office to obtained a copy of the Securus
phone recordings for inmate JEWELL,AMANDA CAILIN (DOB 09/18/1982). JEWELL had been at the Boulder
County Jail for a court appearance during an in custody death and Boulder County Sheriff's Office is investigating
the incident. A CD of all phone calls made while in custody at the Jefferson County Detentions Facility was given
to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Detective Pelletier.
I was instructed to review the CD prior to giving it to Detective Pelletier and found only one call had been made
since JEWELL returned from the Boulder County Jail On 05/31/2016 at approximately 2147 Hours. In the call
JEWELL is heard saying, "... A lot of things happened in Boulder this weekend... and Boulder is hiding a lot of
things that are going down in their jail right now it has a lot to do with the way a lot of mentals and things like that...

Narrative
phone was confiscated at that time. I was tasked with processing the cell phone.
Detective Pelletier was assigned to apply for a search warrant on the phone.
At approximately 1400 hours, I received a text message from Detective Pelletier that he had obtained the warrant.
I later checked out item DD2, which is described as an HTC Desire 626S. The phone was packaged in a large flat
cardboard and then shrink wrapped. As this was a rather large way to package the phone, evidence technician
Trever asked if I could remove the extraneous packaging. I did this and saved the cardboard and shrink wrap
from where the phone was packaged.
The phone appeared off, but I found that the battery was fully discharged. Also, while the phone appeared to be
in generally good condition, the screen had some cracks.
A secondary briefing was held at 1500 hours where we discussed additional tasks. Following this meeting,
Detective Sergeant Zierlein asked if I could be in the office early on June 3rd to process the phone.
On June 3rd I began processing of this phone. I found that the phone had a pin locked code and there is currently
no bypass for this lock. I spoke with Detective Sergeant Lindsey and told him that a chip-off of the phone would
be possible.
Once I was given the go ahead, I began to disassemble the phone down to the motherboard. I found that this
phone had an 8GB EMMC style chip. This particular chip is supported for a chip-off and I have the proper
readers.
The chip was successfully removed with both top and bottom heat. There was a large amount of glue in addition
to solder holding the chip. This required extra effort to remove and also required cleaning and tinning of the chip
after removal. Following this, I utilized the UP828 to obtain a full binary image. There were no errors in reading
the chip and after it was read and dumped, I parsed the available data using the Cellebrite Physical Analyzer.
I initially sorted the phone by date and time and began working backwards, starting with the most recent usage.
The last user initiated actions on the phone occurred on 5/26/2016 at 7:18:19 PM (UTC -6). This was a 1:14
second outbound call to
(Love).
I found a number of text messages and Facebook Messenger messages between Anderson and multiple different
contacts. Most of these messages were related to her being arrested, where she was arrested, what her bond
was.
Of note, I found messages to a Blanca
and Shauna
but that the Deputies had not found her phone which was in her bra.

referencing that she was in jail,

I also found a number of messages on the phone related to what appear to be shoplifting of makeup and other
products. Several contacts are asking her if she is going shopping for different items such as pants, shoes,
makeup and other items. Many of these occurred on 5/25/2016.
I also found some references to Anderson asking about various pills, including Xanax, Oxycodone, and Percocet,
which she references as perks and percs.
I also found a number of images on the phone, including several of purses, clothing, shoes and various makeup
items such as nail polish.
Of note, I found a single thumbnail on the phone created on 5/26/2016 at 6:30:02 hours (UTC-6) which appears to
be from a video chat. The image is small and I found no saved video or other references this.
I later returned the chip-off phone to evidence.
I also created a UFED Reader Report of the entire contents of the phone. This was placed into evidence under
JSS1. I then compressed the original binary dump using 7Zip. This was done in order to allow the dump to be
copied to a DVD. This DVD was placed into evidence under JSS2.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Joshua Bonafede, #549
On 06/03/2016, Detective Paul Dunphy and myself were assigned further follow-up on this case. We were asked
to try to contact five additional inmates who had been in the cell block the day Stephanie Anderson died. The first
inmate we were going to attempt to contact was Yolanda Lopez with an address of 50 21st Avenue, Unit F4, in
Longmont, Colorado.
Detective Dunphy and I drove to Yolanda's address and tried to make contact there. We met with a Hispanic
individual who informed us that he has lived there for approximately eight months and that Yolanda does not
reside there. He stated he has never met Yolanda, but she did receive a package at that address at one time,
and he would guess that was approximately three months ago. He said she came by the residence to pick it up
and he informed her that he had already brought it back to UPS. He had no forwarding address or contact
information for Yolanda.
The next address we went to was 939 Lilac Street in Longmont to try to contact Jamie Waggoner with a date of
birth of 12/15/69. We went to this address and did not see any vehicles in the driveway and there were no
vehicles in the garage. I knocked and rang the doorbell several times and received no answer, so I left my card
advising Jamie to contact me.
The next residence we went to was at 2730 Bristol Cove Court in Lafayette. We contacted Victoria Brendefur with
a date of birth of 03/13/65. Victoria did answer the door and we identified ourselves as detectives, and informed
her we were there to speak with her about Stephanie Anderson's passing. Victoria seemed very confused and we
had to inform her that Stephanie Anderson is the inmate who died in the housing unit when she was there.
Victoria invited us in to her residence and told us to sit down, and that she was willing to speak with us. We
began the interview with Victoria at 1425 hours. Victoria informed us that she was housed in unit 6 for two days
between the 25th and 27th of May. Victoria stated that she had a severe migraine and that medical staff refused
to give her anything for her migraine. Victoria said she stayed in her cell the entire time and never came out. She
stated the only time she came out was to go to court on the 27th from 1310 hours to 1530 hours. Other than that,
she skipped breakfast and dinner, and stayed in her room.
I asked Victoria if she heard any screaming or yelling coming from any of the cells, and she informed me it was
very loud and noisy, and that people were constantly screaming in the housing unit. I asked her if she knew
specifically where the noise was coming from and she stated she did not, and that she just stayed on her bed the
entire time she was there and never came out. I asked her if she knew who Stephanie Anderson was and she

informed me she did not. Victoria stated she did hear from her roommate, who she knew by the first name of
Shelly, that a woman had died in the housing unit, but she had no idea who the woman was, nor did she see
anything related to the woman dying. We concluded our interview with Victoria and I left her my business card
and asked her to contact me if she could think of anything that she did see or hear.
The next person I attempted to locate was Christina Back who was showing as a transient in the Boulder area.
Detective Dunphy and I drove to the Boulder County Homeless Shelter on North Broadway, but there was no one
there and the homeless shelter was closed. Christina did show that she had a cell phone number of
. When I attempted to contact that phone number, it said it had been disconnected.
The last person I attempted to locate was Kelsi Egbert with a date of birth of 07/21/91. Kelsi had been in our jail
and was released on June 1st. In the Tiburon computer system it shows Kelsi was released to Wyoming without
a specific county. I called our Records Division and asked them to try to locate where Kelsi was released to. A
short time later they came back and called me back and told me it was Sweetwater, Wyoming. I called
Sweetwater, Wyoming, who informed me that they did not have her in custody, but it was possible she was in
transport still to their county. I next called our jail and asked if they knew who Kelsi had been released to, and
they said according to Tiburon it only showed Wyoming. I informed them that I had that information, but I wanted
to know specifically where in Wyoming they released her to, and they put me on hold and contacted our transport
unit. Our transport unit believed she was en route to Laramie County, Wyoming. I contacted Laramie County and
they informed me they did not have her in their system. I next contacted Dispatch and had them run Kelsi to see
if she had any CCIC or NCIC holds on her. According to Dispatch, Green River, Utah, has a warrant out for her
arrest. I contacted Green River, Utah, and they did not have her in their system.
On 06/04/2016, I came back to work and again tried to contact Sweetwater, Wyoming to see if Kelsi was there.
According to Sweetwater, Wyoming, Kelsi was not currently at their correctional facility and they told me it was
possible she was still en route on transport to their facility. They gave me a phone number of their Warrants
Division and a person to talk to Monday to see if Kelsi was there. The person to contact is Terri with a phone
number of

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Dave Salaman, #534
On 06/0716 at approximately 1910 hours, I called and spoke with Cmdr. Martinez. I explained to him that I was
trying to clarify the information about the inmate from Jefferson County that had called the media. He told me that
he received a call from a Deputy from Jefferson County and told him that a female was threatening to call the
news about the incident. Cmdr Martinez told me that as far as he understood, she did not call, just threatening to.
He told me that he could not remember the Deputies name or the inmate's name. He gave that information to
Det. Dillard. I asked him if he was doing an investigation at the Jail about the incident. He told me the he was not
and was letting us in the bureau to do it. He said the only thing they have done is have a critical debrief with the
staff that was involved.
On 06/08/16 at approximately 0955 hours, I went over to the Jail to retrieve the AED used in this case so that it
could be downloaded. I met with Sgt. Cavin and explained that he had the AED in his office. Melanie Dreiling
then walked in to the office and stated that she was not sure that the AED Sgt. Cavin had was the correct one.
She thought that the AED used was labeled "Crash Cart". The one that Sgt. Cavin received had a serial number
of 43983599 on the cover. I explained that I would bring the AED over to Sgt. Oehlkers and he would download it.

Narrative
I told them that I would let them know if it was the wrong one. I left the AED in Sgt. Cavin's office as I needed to
go speak with Chris Randol.
At 1004 hours, I went over to programs to speak with Chris. I introduced myself and explained that I wanted to
talk to him about the grief session he assisted with in the women's module. He told me that he has not done any
groups in women's for about 2 years. He explained that in July, he is going to start doing them again. He told me
that Jermiah and Chris approached him and asked if he would like to assist with the grief counselling session. He
thought it would be a good way to start getting acclimated in the women's module. Other that assisting them with
the group, he was not briefed on what it was all about. He knew that someone had died in the women's module
and had assumed that it was suicide. Once the group started, he learned that it was not a suicide and that
surprised him. The started off the group with some rules. He could not remember what the rules were, but
thought it was similar to previous ones that he had done. Some of the rules were to share talk time, be civil to
each other and basic rules like that. Once Chris did the initial talk, they broke out into 3 groups. He thought he
had about 5 or 6 females in his group. He did not having any material that he was supposed to go over and
thought he was there to assist them with processing what had occurred about a week before. The whole class
took about an hour and doesn't remember them getting back together at the end of the breakout sessions.
I asked him what they talked about during the break out session. He explained that most of the inmates were
talking about not feeling safe in the Jail. They were very surprised that nobody was checking on Anderson. He
said that they talked a lot about Genova that was completely psychotic. They talked about why she was there and
not at a hospital. Genova was always yelling and would dance around naked. Anderson was housed next door
to Genova. He remembered that one of the inmates talked about how helpless she was. She was a nurse and
felt like she couldn't help her before she died. Again he reiterated that the inmates were talking about not feeling
safe. He again talked about how surprised he was that it wasn't a suicide. Chris would have liked to get briefed
before the group so he knew what he was walking into. I asked him if anything else stuck out at the meeting, and
he told me it did not.
I went back and spoke with Linda Caven and learned that she was getting paperwork together for the "Blue Book".
I asked her what that was, and she explained that it is a book they put together when there is a major incident.
She also told me that they put one together when there could be possible litigation. In the "Blue Book", contains
all the information and documentation on the incident. She gave me a copy of what she had at the time that
included the Jail Jacket for Anderson. I later gave the paperwork to Det. Dillard.
I spoke with Sgt. Cavin and learned that the video in the women's module is slow about 4 minutes and 50
seconds. He explained that the video time goes off of the server for that system. He showed me multiple servers
and they were all off from the actual time. I asked for the electronic want time keeper records from the women's
module from 05/27/16 at 0000 to 05/28/16 at 0600. I later gave these to Det. Dillard.
I brought the AED to Sgt. Oehlkers and asked him to let me know if it was the correct AED. After he downloaded
the AED he told me that it was the correct one. Please see Sgt. Oehlkers supplemental report for further
information.
On 06/08/16 at approximately 1930 hours, I went over to the Jail to follow up with Deputy Jaramillo. I gave the
AED that I took earlier to Sgt. Avina. I then talked with Sgt. Kellison to find out what the policy was on cell checks.
He told me that per policy they are required to do cell checks on suicide protocol every hour. I asked him what
that meant, and he told me that as long as the Deputy does the check once per hour they were in policy. We
discussed a possibility that a Deputy could do a cell check at 1201 and then at 1229 and they are still in policy.
He explained that they would be in policy because they checked the cell once each hour. The reason that they
do this is so the inmates don't get a schedule of when they are going to be checked on. Sgt. Avina walked me
back to medium security where Deputy Jaramillo was working. He relieved her duties as they were in the middle
of the med run. Deputy Jaramillo walked up to the administration offices where we would have more privacy.
I began the interview at 1937 hours. The interview was recorded that was later placed into evidence. I explained
to Jaramillo that I wanted to follow up with her on a couple of things. I learned that she has been employed since
April 3 years ago. She started off as a law enforcement technician and about 2 months ago got out of field
training as a Deputy. We began talking about the clean-up. Price didn't want to clean up unless she had full

hazmat suit because it freaked her out. Perrigoue agreed to clean up cell 21. I asked her if Perrigoue ever
brought anything out to bring it to your attention and she told me never. Jaramillo kept going in to make sure that
she did not need any more cleaning supplies. I asked her what she was using to clean with and she told me
Perrigoue was using pads because it was easier to clean up. She was using paper towels, spray bottles and a
mop that were obviously thrown away. Jaramillo thought that might have grabbed a toilet brush from the DSM
side. She didn't remember exactly because all the inmates were all riled up. I asked her if anything stuck out to
her while she Perrigoue was cleaning. She told me that Perrigoue was wearing her headphones and she kept
going in to make sure she didn't need anything which she did not. I asked her if she ever had to switch out trash
bags, which she did and put them in with the bio hazard just in case. There wasn't a whole of excessive trash,
just the stuff to clean up. I explained to her that Perrigoue told us that she brought something out of the cell to
show it to her. Jaramillo told me that she didn't remember that. I showed her some pictures of the video. When
she first looked at the pictures she said "that looks like a toilet brush", as she pointed to Perrigoue coming out of
the bubble holding something. Jaramillo then pointed out Price that was wearing white. I explained to her that
Perrigoue had dropped something on the floor. Perrigoue was waving her left hand trying to get her attention and
then drops something on the floor. I asked her if she remembered that, and she told me that she did not.
Perrigoue told us that she got your attention because she found 2 drug bags. She told you that she found the
drug bags and you told her just to throw them away. Jaramillo told me "no". I told her that there is not any sound,
so I can't hear what is being said, but explained that Perrigoue was walking out of the bubble as you were walking
into the day room. You make eye contact with Perrigoue and then you continue walking to the left. I asked her if
Perrigoue was not loud enough, and she told me that she never said anything about any drug baggies because
that would have been a huge deal. I explained to her that after Perriguoe dropped that bag off of the toilet brush,
she puts it on the side of the trash can that was sitting in the doorway and walks back into room 21. You bring a
new trash bag and hang it on the door. Perrigoue then goes over to the trash can, grabs the bag, and throws it
away in the new trash bag hanging on the door. Jaramillo told me that she asked for a new trash bag which was
nothing abnormal. If she told me that she found something in there would have been a huge red flag and she did
not.
I then started talking to her about cell checks. I asked her how she was trained to do cell checks. Jaramillo told
me that for SP, they need to be checked every 15 minutes and regular inmates are every 30 minutes. I asked her
if she knew what the policy stated, and she told me that check have to be done within the hour, 30 minutes, or 15
minute increments. I asked her if there is anybody in the women's module that would differ from the 15 minute
and 30 minute checks. She told me that if she has a partner in there, they would jump in and help at times. I
asked her how religious she was about hitting the wand on the door. She explained that she first hit the want on
her key. That tells the wand that she is the one doing the check. They also have a wallet that they can use for
med runs, incidents and things like that. She told me that she tries to meet the time requirements and does a
pretty good job. I showed her the log for the cell checks. She told me that she had not seen one before. I
explained that it looks like she is pretty consistent about doing the cell checks. She told me that everybody in the
bubble is not on SP. Typically when she does the checks in the bubble for SP, she goes ahead and checks all of
them while she is there. Baum in 24 and Anderson in 21 were both on SP. I went to page 8 of 19 on 05/27/16 at
0442. I asked her if this was around meal time, and she told me that it was. I showed her the gap of times where
there was not cell checks done. I showed her were Deputy Mascaranas did a cell check at 0626. She told me
that he is in training with Deputy Ryan. She told me that at that time, she was behind on paperwork like
worksheets, and completing her sheets in the morning and stuff like that. I asked her what happens in the time
frame that creates the lag of cell checks. She told me breakfast and meds. She told me that her partner would
typically help with the SP checks while that was going on. She did explain that if she can see the inmates that are
on SP while they are serving breakfast, she will hit the wand on the outside of the bubble instead of going to each
cell on the inside. I asked her if she does the cell checks as they are out eating breakfast, and she explained that
she knows a lot of the women in there, but not all. She can tell the new ones because they are dressed in red. I
explained that it sounded like that was the hectic portion of the day and asked her to walk me thru what all she
has to complete. She told me they have to complete all the sheets and mark all the hazards, SP, lock downs,
keep separates, cell mates, and make sure that they correspond with the white board. They have to get dress
outs and courts ready at the same time. Pull their files, get everything ready, additional pass-on, complete
worksheets, finish any IR's, clean up from breakfast. She told me that breakfast is usually the most hectic part.
There are only 2 of them in the cell block, one of them for women's and one for intake. They both have to

individually get the meals done without any help. I asked her if there is any paperwork that can be done early,
and she told me that she tries to get all her sheets done before breakfast because it becomes pretty hectic. She
told me that she had never seen that report before, so she always clicks the wand on the cell even if it is empty.
She didn't want anybody to think that she was skipping any cells. I asked her that when she does the cell checks
at night, if she uses her flashlight to do the cell checks. She told me that a lot of the girls are up reading, so she
only uses her flashlight to see in.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Jeremy Shavin, #539
On Friday, June 3rd, 2016, I met with Jail Sergeant Mike Cavin. Sergeant Cavin had been tasked with
downloading all of the surveillance footage from the jail.
He advised that the file size for the download was over 32GB in size, but that a much larger drive would be
required to play the video back. He explained that the video is compressed and does not uncompress until it is
played.
After I finished copying the video from the Jail surveillance system to an external hard drive, I tested it. The video
played correctly and Sergeant Cavin showed me how to bring the different views online.
He also advised that the date and time were accurate for the recordings.
I later made a secondary copy to an external SATA drive. This drive was placed into evidence under JSS3.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Paul Dunphy, #543
On 06/01/2016, I spoke with the AMR ambulance team that responded to the jail reference this incident. I spoke
with the paramedic, Melissa Lewis. I asked Melissa to explain the call she and her EMT, Brandon Buggeln,
responded to the jail. Melissa said they received the call at 1600 hours on 05/27/2016. When they arrived at the
jail, they were escorted to the Women's Module. When she and Brandon arrived at the module, they walked into
the module itself and into a Sub Day Room where she saw a female lying on the floor outside of the cells in this
Sub Day Room, and she was naked from the waist up. She said deputies were doing CPR on this female, which
allowed her and Brandon time to set up their equipment. Melissa was not sure if the fire department arrived at the
same time as she did, but fire personnel was there shortly after. They allowed deputies to continue CPR until
they were ready to take over. Once they were ready to monitor, Melissa had firefighters take over CPR from the
deputies and they began administering life-saving procedures.
Melissa said they continued life-saving procedures for at least 15 minutes, which is protocol in these
circumstances. Melissa spoke out loud to the group, explaining what they've tried so far and was there anything
that they were missing and haven't administered yet. Nobody answered back to her question and she stated she
was going to call the time of death at this time. When Melissa made that statement, one of the deputies, she
wasn't exactly sure who, stated "You can't do that here." Melissa thought that was odd, but felt because it was a
correctional facility and it would be some type of safety concern and/or pronouncing somebody dead in front of the
inmates was a concern to the facility, so she agreed to move the patient somewhere else to call the time of death.
Melissa had firefighters load the patient, Anderson, onto a gurney and they moved to the Intake garage off of
Booking. Melissa said she was going to call the time of death here and called the doctor per her protocol. When
she stated she was going to call the time of death again, she was told, "You can't do this here." Melissa said then
she began to understand what was going on, stating she was not going to transport the patient because they were

Narrative
not viable for transport. While Melissa was on the phone with the doctor to make the call of time of death,
Anderson was loaded into the AMR ambulance.
Melissa then explained she was not going to transport the patient because Anderson was not viable and the
hospital would not take her. Melissa was told by a deputy, who we believe to be Sergeant Koger, that she could
not pronounce time of death at the jail because it locks down a portion of the jail for the death investigation and
this would hinder the facility's ability to process inmates in and out of the jail. She was told, you have to transport
out of the jail. Melissa called her supervisor and explained what was going on. Her supervisor asked if she would
call the hospital back to see if the doctor would allow them to transport the patient to the hospital since the patient
was already in the ambulance. Melissa called the doctor, and the doctor refused transport to the hospital and
gave a time of death on scene.
Melissa was then told her ambulance and gear bags were now part of a crime scene and they were not able to
leave the facility until the Coroner's Office arrived and detectives had started their investigation.
Melissa said in hindsight she would have rather taken the inmate back into her cell and pronounce a time of death
inside the cell to alleviate the impact on the facility and its ability to operate. Melissa said this was the first time
she has gone on a call to the jail where the inmate was not viable and not transported.
I asked Melissa if I could get a copy of the documentation submitted for this call for service and she spoke with
her supervisor to get that set up. On 06/03/2016, I did receive a copy of that report which is more in depth as to
the medication that was administered as a life-saving procedure. This report was placed in the case file.
I then spoke to the EMT working with Melissa, Brandon Buggeln. Brandon stated they were called for an inmate
down at the jail. They responded emergency and heard that CPR was in progress. When they arrived and were
escorted back to the module, they immediately noticed that deputies were administering CPR, both chest
compressions and breaths, through an Ambu airbag. Brandon said they later took over CPR with the fire
department and worked on life-saving attempts for their policy and protocol amount of time. Brandon thought it
was approximately 20 to 25 minutes they continued these procedures.
Brandon said Melissa was his paramedic that day, wanted to call the time of death at the location they were at in
the Women's Module, but she was told no by Sergeant Karmen Koger. I asked Brandon why he thought they
were told no, not to call the time of death there. He said his impression was that they didn't want it done in front of
another inmate's cell and wanted it done somewhere else more discrete. Brandon remembers the fire personnel
asking if they were going to transport the patient and Melissa said no. Brandon said once they got the patient
onto the gurney, they started wheeling her through the jail and CPR was continued into the garage where the
ambulance was.
Brandon said once they arrived there, Melissa tried to call the time of death as well, and again was told "No, you
can't do that here." Brandon said normally they do not transport unviable patients and wasn't quite sure why they
were moving her from the cell area, but was only following orders from Melissa who was the paramedic on that
day. Brandon helped fire personnel load the patient into the ambulance and noticed there was a lengthy
conversation with the jail staff wanting her transported and Melissa was on the phone speaking with the doctor
and their team supervisor. Brandon was in his words sitting back and letting Melissa handle things because it was
her scene and incident to run.
Brandon said they did call the time of death in the garage and they were told their equipment was now part of a
crime scene and they were not allowed to retrieve their gear bags or their ambulance, and were told they weren't
allowed to leave.
On 06/02/2016, I was tasked with talking with one of the inmates in the Women's Module at the time of this
incident, Leah Baum, date of birth 11/09/86. Leah was in cell #24 at the time of the incident. I traveled to Pueblo
County Jail to complete my interview with Leah. When Leah was brought into the interview room at the Pueblo
County Jail, I introduced myself to her and asked if she wanted to talk with me about the incident at the Boulder
County Jail where Stephanie Anderson had died. Leah stated she did want to speak with me and told me the
following.
Leah said she was in cell #24 when Anderson was brought into cell #21 on 05/27/2016, at about 0200 hours. She

Narrative
did note that Anderson was brought into the module in a wheelchair. Leah explained Anderson was yelling all
night and pounding on her door that she didn't feel good and Leah kept yelling at her to shut up and quit making
so much noise. Leah said she felt bad now for doing that since she is dead now. Leah said Anderson continued
to pound on the door and say that she wasn't feeling good after breakfast, and was very dramatically and very
loudly coughing and hacking along with pounding on her door, which occurred sometime after lunch on
05/27/2016. Leah was not able to give me specific times because her cell does not face towards a clock and she
naps on and off throughout the day, and loses track of time. I tried to give her references throughout the day for
the story such as around breakfast time, morning med time, lunch time, dinner time, group time, and evening
medication time. Again, Leah said there was a lot of pounding on the door that Anderson was doing and this was
sometime after lunch.
Leah remembers Deputy Clem coming in to the "bubble" which is the Sub Day Room in the Women's Module and
did her checks. She remembers hearing Clem calling out Anderson's name and heard Nicole say in a different
voice, "She's dead." She heard Clem tell Nicole that she isn't dead, that she could see she was breathing, and
Clem called Anderson's name a few more times and walked away. Leah didn't know what time Deputy Heck
came in to do his checks, but he walked by each door in the Sub Day Room and "wanded" the button on each cell
door.
Leah felt sometime after lunch Heck was doing his checks and she heard Anderson call out in a very, as she
described "whiny voice," "Officer" as Heck was doing his checks in the Sub Day Room. She heard Heck mock
Anderson and call out in the same tone of voice "Officer no habla English" and then slammed the Sub Day Room
door shut. After her telling me this story initially, I went back and clarified during the interview if anyone else in the
module had been making any noise and was acting out. Leah said no one else was acting out and it was
completely quiet. Leah added on, that after Anderson heard the response from Heck, she responded to Heck's
comment about no habla English with a sigh and a whiny tone, and Leah said she did not hear from Anderson
ever again. Leah initially thought Heck did this check at approximately 3:00 p.m. or about that time, but she later
clarified speaking with Inmate Price who said she was filling up her mop bucket about 1:00 to 1:30 p.m. when
Heck made this comment as he was leaving the Sub Day Room.
A short time later, Leah thought that Deputy Clem had come back around to do other checks and again heard her
calling out Anderson's name. Leah didn't know if this was two separate incidences or if this was one incident
when Clem was doing her checks, and that there was a pause or break in the middle of that check, but she
thought Clem had called out Anderson's name on two separate occasions. She said, however, the last time she
heard Clem calling out Anderson's name, this is when they pulled Anderson out of her cell and into the Sub Day
Room, and the nurses and the crash carts came down. Leah felt that this was approximately 4:00 or 4:30 when
they were doing CPR on Anderson.
Leah said after Anderson was taken out of the module and everyone had left, she started making toilet paper
signs and sticking them on her window. Leah explained she would roll toilet paper, wet it and make it into letters,
and put that across her window, creating signs with the toilet paper on her window. Leah said this would have
been in the time frame right before dinner was being served. Leah said the first sign she put up was "Heck let 21
die at 3 p.m." She explained 21 was in reference to the person in cell #21. During dinner service, she said a
deputy was standing outside the Sub Day Room, but blocking her cell from any of the other inmates seeing the
sign on her window. I asked her why she put the sign on the window and she stated she wanted everyone to
know what had transpired and why she thought Anderson was dead. I asked her why she thought Anderson was
dead, and she explained because Heck ignored her calls for help.
Leah went on to say during dinner service they only allowed two people to come down from the top tier to get their
dinners and serve the rest of the inmates in their cells, because they realized the inmates could see the sign on
her door. Leah was asked by Deputy Jaramillo if she would take down the sign and Leah asked to talk to the
sergeant or mental health, and she would. Jaramillo promised she would have somebody come and talk to her,
but the sergeant never did come down and speak with her after she agreed to take the sign down. Leah said she
agreed to take the sign down about 9:00 that Friday evening before med rounds.
Leah said sometime after lunch when Heck came in to do checks, as Heck came into "the bubble" and was
walking by her cell, Leah mocked him in repeating his statement to Anderson the previous day of "Officer no habla

English."
On Saturday, 05/28/2016, about 2:00 p.m., Leah was taken out of her cell and put into the multipurpose room
outside the module to speak with Pam from mental health. After a short interview with Pam, Leah was cleared
from suicide precautions. While the interview was going on, Deputy Heck was pacing back and forth in the
hallway outside of the module and outside of the multipurpose room in front of Leah, and she explained her body
has a physical reaction to him being there. She became very anxious and was feeling scared and intimidated by
Heck pacing back and forth, and in her words, staring at her while doing this. Leah explained that this bothered
her so much that she yelled out of the room at Heck and was scolded by Pam, stating she could get locked down
for that type of behavior. At approximately 2:30, Pam left the interview and Leah was left in the multipurpose
room for another hour or so.
About 3:05 p.m., Leah was still in the multipurpose room, Leah explained again Heck was staring at her as he was
pacing back and forth in the hallway in front of her, and she felt that this was a form of intimidation. At
approximately 3:30 p.m., she was moved out of the multipurpose room into the hallway where Heck was standing.
Leah stopped and confronted Heck, asking him "Why didn't you call for help when she, Anderson, yelled at you
for help?" Heck didn't respond to her question and only gestured with his hand over his shoulder, "Here you go,"
opening the door to the module to allow her in. Leah was frustrated that Deputy Heck did not answer her
question. She asked him again, "Why didn't you call for help when she yelled at you for help?" Heck then said, "I
don't have to answer to you." Leah said she went on to tell him, "Well, I will testify against you in court."
Leah explained in the past when she has been cleared from suicide protocol, within 45 minutes to an hour she is
moved out of the room into a normal cell within the module. Leah said however, this day they were not moving
her out of cell #24 and out of the bubble. She said finally about 8:00 p.m. she was moved into another cell and
she asked why she wasn't moved sooner. She was told by Deputy Jaramillo she was left in the room because
they didn't want her to get into it with Deputy Heck.
After some further clarifying questions, which were stated earlier in my supplemental report, the interview was
completed and Leah was led back to her cell by Pueblo County deputies.
***
On June 8, 2016, I spoke with Melissa Lewis again on follow-up questions regarding this incident. I asked her
why Narcan was given to Anderson during the life-saving attempts. She explained during the incident she had
asked jail personnel if there was a possibility that Anderson could have gotten a hold of narcotics at any time she
was there. Melissa said she didn't remember who answered her, but the answer to her question was it could be a
possibility that Anderson had ingested narcotics during her stay.
This ends my supplemental at this time.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Sergeant Brian Zierlein, #518
Case Status, Open
On 6-9-16 at approximately 1330, Sgt. Lindsey and I went to the Boulder County Jail to look at the women's
module for familiarity with this case. I was interested in how well you could hear the sounds coming from the
"bubble", particularly from cell 21 where Anderson was housed.
Upon entering the bubble I was informed inmate Genova was moved to cell 21. As I had read in several of the
reports about her behavior, Genova began yelling at the guard about things and making up some story about how
Sgt. Lindsey or I was a former boss of hers and the CEO Warner Bros. You could hear Genova in the outer
portion of the bubble fairly clearly. At the same time the inmate in cell 25 was asking for coffee and I could hear
that. It appeared as though you could hear talking or yelling fairly easily from inside the outer area of the bubble.
After exiting the bubble, I could still hear Genova yelling, but it was far more difficult to hear what she was saying
and most the time unintelligible.
I next went upstairs and stood in cell 5 directly above cell 21. I could not hear Genova from this cell. While up
there, one of the inmates made the comment that I would be able to clearly hear the inmate in cell 21 while
standing in cell 20 as their air vents are connected together.

Narrative
We next went down to cell 20 and listened. I could hear with pretty good clarity what Genova was saying while
standing in cell 20. It was not as good quality as being the outer area of the bubble, but I would estimate I could
make out about half of the words she was saying.
We then concluded our visit at the jail.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Don Dillard, #542
On June 6, 2016, I began going through the jail video in reference the intake of Stephanie Anderson to our jail.
The video I am watching is dated 05/27/2016, and it starts at 01:51:03 in the morning, this is when she was
brought back from the hospital. While watching the video there are what appear to be deputies going to the cell
just inside the booking doors, the third doorway coming in off the garage on the right across from the fingerprinting
area. Once the officers go to the door, you then see a pair of shoes on the floor and a sergeant and nurse walk
over and look at the person in that holding area. Shortly thereafter, Stephanie Anderson is seen being escorted
out of this holding room wearing blue jeans and a white T-shirt. It appears as though there are still belly chains on
her and she is still handcuffed in front of her body as she walks towards the camera. This camera is in the area
where the booking photos are taken. The time stamp on that is 01:51:34 AM. The deputies I am able to identify
are Amanda Pelletier and Sergeant Kellison with a nurse that is working. It also appears Anderson is wearing her
gray tennis shoes that I had booked into evidence. It also appears as though she has a dark colored shirt
underneath her white T-shirt.
She is then seen in the Women's Sub Day Room in the old intake area. She is being pushed in by one deputy
with several other deputies following behind. There were two female deputies that entered cell #21 prior to the
male deputy pushing Anderson in on the wheelchair. There is also the same male deputy seen from the booking
area following in behind the wheelchair, as well as the nurse observing from the doorway of cell #21.
On May 27, 2016, at 01:53:17 in the morning, once the deputies and nurse push Anderson into her cell, it appears
as though she has been changed out of her street clothing, being that one of the female deputies steps out with a
clear plastic bag with what appears to be clothing in it. The bag that she is holding is what I later placed into
evidence at the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Headquarters. All deputies and the nurse exit the Sub Day Room
in the Women's Housing Unit at 01:57:09 in the morning.
At 01:57:24 AM, a female deputy enters the Sub Day Room with the stick and places the stick on the targets on
the cell doors. She puts the stick to the targets on what appears to be all the doors, finishing at cell #21 and
leaving the Sub Day Room. The walk was finished at 01:59:06 AM.
On May 27, 2016, at 02:00:30, the video in the Sub Day Room timed out and then timed back in at 02:01:03.
When I stated that it timed out and then back in, it is my understanding that the Sub Day Room camera is a
motion sensor style camera and when there was no motion the camera went to sleep between those times.

Narrative
On May 27, 2016, the time stamp at the top of the Sub Day Room stops at 02:03:50 a.m. However, the other two
cameras in the booking area and garage area indicate same date, but time stamp is 02:09:59 a.m.
The next grouping of videos that will be observed is from 0650 to 1645 hours on May 27, 2016. The image is one
camera of the Sub Day Room in the Women's Module.
It appears as though Deputy Clem begins her walk on May 27, 2016 at 06:52:18 in the morning, and begins with
cell #21, shining her flashlight into the room and looking inside the door window. She stands in front of that door
at 06:52:46 in the morning and completes her walk of the bubble or Sub Day Room at 06:53:45 a.m.
The camera times out from 06:54: 45 a.m. and times back in when there was movement detected by the camera
at 07:39:01 in the morning in the Sub Day Room.
Clem begins a walk at 07:41:45. She shines her flashlight in the window of cell #21 and continues her walk,
completing it at 07:43:10.

The camera then times out again at 08:04:40 and comes back on at 08:11:01.
Clem begins a walk at 08:13:56 and begins her check at cell #21, she shines her flashlight and looks into the
window of cell #21's door, then walks #22, #23, and #24, and stops her walk and walks out of the Sub Day Room.
The camera then times out at 08:15:14 and times back in at 08:21:01.
Clem begins a walk at 08:36:38 and begins at cell #21 again. She shines her flashlight into the cell and looks into
the window on the door. She continues her walk and exits at 08:38:12.
Clem enters the Sub Day Room at 08:40:38 and goes to a gray box that is on the wall in between #22 and #23.
After speaking to other detectives, this is believed to be a plumbing chase that she is monitoring. Clem exits the
Day Room at 08:47:45. At this point it looked like she only put one of the screws back into the sheet metal around
that gray box. She removed the others screws from the table when she left the Sub Day Room.
At 0912 hours, Clem walked back in, opening the Sub Day Room door, taking a half step into the Day Room and
then stepped out and didn't come back. At 09:14:49, she enters the Sub Day Room with the nurse, walks directly
past cell #24, going to either #25 or #26. The nurse, as well as Clem, exits the module at 09:17:24.
The camera timed out at 09:19:48 and timed back in at 09:21:02.
At 09:23:07, a male party from maintenance walks in and unscrews the one screw that Clem had screwed into the
water closet. He opens the cabinet door, leans into it, and while inspecting the inside of this cabinet Clem walks
into the Sub Day Room at 09:23:44, watching the maintenance person inspect the water closet. She then exits at
09:24:23 and returns at 09:25:02, bringing him a cup with the remaining screws for that water closet door. While
he is putting the screws back in to the water closet door, she begins her walk of the Sub Day Room at 09:25:08.
She starts her walk like all of her other walks, starting at cell #21. She uses her flashlight and looks in the window
of the cell door, and looks into the cell. As she is working her way towards cell #26, the maintenance person
finishes putting the screws into the cabinet door and exits the Sub Day Room at 09:25:51, at which time Clem
finishes her walk and exits just behind him at 09:25:54.
The camera timed out in the Sub Day Room at 09:26:25 and then timed back in at 09:27:02.

Narrative
#22 were picked up and placed outside the Sub Day Room and eventually removed by Brittany as Sergeant
Kellison closes the door. The door is closed at 06:07:03. Sergeant Kellison and Brittany exit the module at
06:07:09.
The Main Day Room camera timed out at 06:12:26. It timed back in at 06:14:03.
The Sub Day Room camera timed out at 06:07:28 and timed back in at 06:21:04.
At 06:23:00 a male officer walks into the housing unit and begins his walk of the main area. At 06:26:29, he
enters the Sub Day Room area and begins his walk, starting at #26 and working his way to #21. He uses a
flashlight to look inside #21, then turns around and exits the Sub Day Room at 06:27:16. The deputy exits the
Main Day Room module at 06:27:26.
The Sub Day Room camera timed out at 06:27:42 and timed back in at 06:50:04.
Clem begins her first walk of the Sub Day Room on the 27th. She enters the module at 06:51:56 and enters the
Sub Day at 06:52:16 to start her walk in the Sub Day Module. She begins her walk at cell #21 where she shines
her flashlight into the cell at 06:52:34. I found that this footage has already been previously viewed by myself in
an earlier portion of this report. Just to continue the documentation, Clem exits the Sub Day at 06:53:45. Nothing
further reference this portion, this has already been documented.
This is the new footage listed as Medical Event, start time 15:21:00, ending at 17:21:59 on May 27, 2016. The
four cameras in this block of time are listed Women's Sub 1, Women's 1, Women's Sub 2, and Garage. At
3:21:06 p.m., Clem is in the Main Day Room area with a nurse doing the med pass out. The nurse is standing
behind her cart as Clem stands off to the side. The nurse and Clem leave the cart in the middle of the Main Day
Room and enter into the Sub Day Room at 3:26:45 p.m., and walk down to cell #25, at which point the cell door
opens, the nurse and Clem stand at the door. Clem is seen stepping into the cell threshold, then the door closes,
and the nurse and Clem exit the Sub Day area at 3:27:47 p.m. The nurse then pushes her med cart out of the
housing unit as Clem also exits the housing unit at 3:28:19 p.m.
The documentation in this series of recordings will be to document things that had not been previously been
documented in reference this area. There are now two cameras facing in both directions of the Sub Day area, as
well as a larger view of the Main Day area, being able to see when Clem makes entry into the housing unit for the
Sub Day area.
It should be noted that Clem is in the main housing area at 3:31:07 p.m. and she was talking to an inmate and
then walked out of view of the camera for the main area. During this time there are roughly five or six inmates in
the Main Day Room area that are visible on camera. Clem returns the view of the camera and she walks to the
exit of the module door at 3:37:01 p.m.
Clem enters the module at 3:48:44, then walks to the Sub Day door and makes entry into the Sub Day area at
3:48:53. From camera view of Women's Sub 1 DSM, she is seen having a conversation with the person in cell
#22 and then steps to the left out of camera view to cell #21, where she uses her flashlight to see in Women's Sub
Module or Sub 2 DSM. Once she turns on the lights, flashes her flashlight, and opens the food port door to try to
get the attention of Anderson, she rattles her jail keys in the opening of the food port and then walks down to what
appears to be cell #25, and then walks back to cell #21 where she motions for the door to open. In camera
Women's Sub 2 DSM, the light to the room is left on and you can see Clem step into the room and in Women's 1
DSM camera of the overall Day Room, you are able to see Clem step into cell #21, being that the room itself is lit.
In that camera angle, Clem steps all the way into the room and out of view of the camera. During this time, the
inmate in cell #22 is seen in Women's Sub 1 camera up against the glass. Clem had stepped out and is seen
talking on her shoulder mic. There is a male deputy that comes into the housing unit, at which point he opens the
door and places a trash can in front of the door to the Women's Sub Module, and the women that were in the Day
Room area begin walking away, and it appears to be when they were told to lock down.
Sergeant Koger steps into the module and this is when everyone comes in and passes in front of Women's Sub 1
camera and enters the room. The camera for Women's Sub 1 shows that once Anderson has been carried out of
her cell, they position her directly in front of cell #22 where they begin administering CPR. After watching this the
first time, I sent an e-mail to Deputy David Nagle, seeing that he was one of the parties administering first aid, I

asked if he could tell me what Anderson's body temperature felt like. He responded and stated that when he
physically touched her it seemed as though her body was cold and clammy. He also states that his physical
contact with her was minimal and he only really grabbed her arm in assisting in pulling her out of the cell. The rest
of his time administering first aid was operating the bag valve mask.
On the garage camera, AMR unit M67 arrives in the garage at 3:59:19 p.m. The EMTs enter the jail at 3:59:49
p.m. The EMTs enter the housing unit at 4:00:41, pushing a gurney and their equipment.

Sergeant Lori Cox walks into the Day Room of the Women's Module at 4:10:32 and leaves at 4:19:12. While she
was in the module, she was speaking with Commander Ron Kaundart.
At 4:21:10, the gurney is wheeled out into the garage with Anderson's body on it. She is then loaded up into the
back of AMR ambulance. Sergeant Karmen Koger is seen talking to the female EMT who is on her cell phone.
Koger is on her shoulder mic as she stepped into the intake area. The female EMT is standing at the open back
doors of her ambulance talking on the phone as Sergeant Koger and Commander Kaundart step out of the intake
area and approach the EMT. The EMT is still on her cell phone at 4:23:32. At 4:24:50, the three jail nurses are
standing with Commander Kaundart and Sergeant Koger just outside the open doors of the ambulance.
The personnel from the fire department, as well as the EMTs and Sheriff personnel all step out of frame of the
garage camera. The back doors to the ambulance are closed and the garage intake door going into the pat down
area is left open, and there are people from the Sheriff's Office coming and going, as well as the nursing staff.
This is at 4:44:30 pm.
Detective Steve Ainsworth arrives in the garage at 4:59:37 and opens the back of the ambulance with the
assistance of the male EMT at 5:01:25. Ainsworth begins taking photographs with Coroner Investigator Seifert.
Both Ainsworth and Seifert step into the ambulance to take photographs of Anderson's body. Shortly thereafter,
Sergeant Troy Wolf is seen entering the garage area and talking with Ainsworth. Anderson was still on the gurney
and the gurney was pulled from the back of the ambulance at 5:10:16 and wheeled out of view. The gurney is
later seen being pushed back into the ambulance with no body on it at 5:13:58 pm. The ambulance is then driven
out of the garage area at 5:16:05 pm.
That completes that section of video. The next section of video is listed as BKG ISL ARR-HOSP. Start time is
15:36:04 and end time is 23:58:59 on May 26, 2016.

The next section of cameras are marked 1BKG ARR/HOSP. The start time is 14:54:05 and the end time is
23:58:59, dated May 26, 2016. There are three cameras. One camera is in the booking fingerprint area, which is
a camera that points down the holding area to the garage entrance door. The next camera is marked BOOKING
PIT 1, which is the area in which the prisoners sit prior to being booked. The next area is marked BOOK PIT 2,
which is another angle of the waiting area with chairs and a TV.
At 2:57:59 pm, the first door coming from the garage into a pat down area is opened and Anderson is walked in.
At 2:57:59 pm, Anderson is seen walking in the first door from the garage towards the booking area. While
watching the video, she walks straight through the pat down area still handcuffed behind her back, and walks into
the booking area. She is wearing a pair of blue jeans, a black top, and is being escorted by Sergeant Valerie
Johnson and Deputy Les Harrison. This was done at 2:58:08 pm.
At 3:00:29 pm, Sergeant Johnson walks Anderson out from an area around the booking photo that is not seen in
this camera angle. Anderson is un-handcuffed and is pulling a white T-shirt over her black T-shirt. The time
stamp of her walking back out is 3:00:38 pm. Anderson is shown to go over to the Booking Pit 1 area where she

the white T-shirt on with what appears to be blue jeans and hot pink socks. She is entering this area at 3:00:45.
Anderson walks directly in and gets a drink.
At 3:05:05, it looks like Anderson comes out of the bathroom in the pit area. At 3:05:21, Anderson gets up from a
tabletop sitting area within the pit and as she walks towards the bathroom, she reaches up and grabs onto an
object in between her left and right breasts in the middle of her chest. She continues walking past the front of the
camera and then goes out of view at 3:05:22 pm.
Anderson comes out of the bathroom at 3:05:47 and walks over to get a drink from the water fountain. During this
time frame, Anderson is walking around the pit area getting a drink a few times from the fountain, and then just
standing and walking back and forth. The time stamp reads 3:07:00. At 3:07:30, she walks back into the
bathroom and then comes back out at 3:07:42. Anderson goes out of view of the camera from 3:10:04 to 3:11:18
pm.
At 3:14:08 pm, Anderson and another woman are escorted into a holding cell in the booking area and then the
exterior door is closed.
At 3:26:47, Anderson is seen walking back and forth in the holding cell in the booking area.
At 3:34:38, a third woman is put into the holding cell in the booking area.
At 3:45:46, Anderson is seen from the camera angle in the Booking Pit 2 while in the holding cell to be holding a
white cell phone in her hands, and at one point as she is walking from the cell door back out of view, and looks to
be texting on that phone.
At 3:46:00, the woman Anderson was sitting next to in the pit comes to the front cell door of the holding cell and
stands in front of it looking out into the booking area while Anderson is out of view.
At 3:50:18, a deputy and trustee come around and feed the inmates in two cells; the inmates in the male holding
cell, and Anderson and the other women in the second holding cell. Anderson is seen receiving food, and is seen
eating and drinking what she was given.
At 4:33:35, the female deputy comes to the holding cell door and opens it. At 4:33:49, she lets Anderson out of
the cell, at which point she walks to the bathroom. She walks out of view of the camera at 4:33:57, and walks
back into camera view up towards the holding cell at 4:34:10, at which point she is met by the female deputy who
hands her something at 4:34:16. The item the deputy hands her appears to be something small and white, at
which point she turns around and Anderson walks back into the bathroom. Anderson walks out of the bathroom
heading back to the holding cell at 4:38:16, at which point the female deputy closes the door behind her and she
walks back in at 4:38:22 pm.
At 6:05:17, Anderson is at the holding cell door and talks to Deputy Amanda Pelletier and the deputy walks away
at 6:05:31 pm.

photo of the woman in the video was taken and emailed to Detective Dave Salaman to see if he might establish
who the woman is.
At 7:39:59, Anderson walks back into the holding cell.
At 8:03:29, another jail employee, unknown name at this time, walks over to an open door for that holding cell that
Anderson is standing in, and Anderson comes to the door and talks to her briefly. Shortly thereafter, the
employee walks away and Anderson follows behind her.
At 8:04:20, the Boulder County employee wearing all black tosses in a lunch bag to one of the other women in the
holding cell and in Anderson's left hand as she walks behind the employee, she also has a lunch bag and
re-enters the holding cell.

She walks into the bathroom at 9:43:32 and exits the bathroom at 9:43:53 seconds, then walks back into the
holding cell at 9:44:04 pm and out of view of the camera.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Dave Salaman, #534
On 06/07/2016 at approximately 1100 hours, Detective Fiegel and I went over to the jail to perform some
follow-up. We first attempted to locate Sergeant Cavin to get the remainder of the video burned onto a thumb
drive. Sergeant Cavin was out of the office for the day and would not be back until tomorrow.
The next item was to interview Charlie Callis, Haley Price, and Christina Perrigoue. At approximately 1130 hours,
Detective Fiegel and I brought Charlie into one of the interview rooms. Detective Fiegel interviewed Charlie and
recorded it. Please see Detective Fiegel's supplemental report for that information.
At approximately 1152 hours, I brought Haley Price into one of the interview rooms near the Women's Module.
Price was asked if she remembered what Perrigoue had brought out of the room as she was cleaning it. Price
thought that it was toilet brush that was full of a bunch of green material. She thought that the conversation
between Perrigoue and Jaramillo was that the brush needed to be replaced, but she was not a hundred percent
sure. I showed Price still shots of the video where you can see Price look right at Perrigoue when she was
walking by and about the conversation. Price was asked if these photographs recollected her memory at all, and
she told me that it did not. She did not remember anything except for the brush coming out of the room and didn't
remember anything about drug bags.
Perrigoue was interviewed at approximately 1200 hours. She was also brought into the interview room next to the
Women's Module. She initially stated that she carried the two plastic baggies that looked like dope bags out and
showed them to Deputy Jaramillo. She was asked what specifically she said to Deputy Jaramillo, and she stated,
"I found this and I think we should keep it." Deputy Jaramillo told her to just throw it away. Perrigoue thought that
the items should be kept and she said based on her experience, that she thought they were dope bags. She also
stated that there was puke all over the room that was green in color. I showed Perrigoue the pictures of the items
when she walked out of the bubble. She was informed that she was carrying some type of brush and something
had fallen off. She looked at the pictures and remembered that she had to pick up one of the items off of the floor
because it had fallen out of the brush when she went out to talk to Deputy Jaramillo. She picked it up and she put
it on the edge of the trash can because she thought that it should be kept. She stated that Deputy Jaramillo did
not pay a whole lot of attention to her when she told her about it. Again, she was asked what she specifically said
to Deputy Jaramillo and she thought that she said, "I found this baggie and it looks like a dope bag." Deputy
Jaramillo said to just throw it away. Perrigoue mentioned that she had a lot of experience with drugs in the past
and that they looked like little dope bags. Perrigoue was asked where exactly from the toilet she found these
items, and she showed us on a hand drawn picture that one was just to the left of the toilet that was not in green

Narrative
puke, and the one to the right of the toilet was. Detective Fiegel recorded both the interviews and they were later
placed into evidence. Please see Detective Fiegel's supplemental report.
We then went and spoke with Melanie Dreiling who is the head nurse at the jail. She explained that she began
her shift that day at approximately 1400 hours because she was filling in for somebody that had called in sick for
the swing shift. She did not get any pass-on about Anderson and had no knowledge about her. She remembered
hearing the emergency over the radio, and responded and grabbed the emergency bag off of the crash cart.
Once she got there, she came right in behind Sergeant Koger. She said that Anderson was lying on her right side
and facing the wall. She could see that she was wearing a green smock and that her thigh was somewhat
mottled in color. She immediately yelled for an ambulance. She said as they were putting Anderson on her back,
she could see that she had a grayish color around her mouth. She knew that they needed to get her out and
begin CPR. She assisted with getting Anderson out of the room, which was a difficult task because of her weight.
They got her out into the Sub Day Room, and she grabbed the AED and gave the pads to Karmen who put them
on Anderson. She remembered at least two times that the AED recommended no shock, but she couldn't
remember how many times that exactly occurred. She stated that they were doing CPR for about 30 minutes, so
it could have been more than two times. She mentioned that Commander Goetz had sent out the AED for it to get
read and understood that it had already returned. Melanie told me that she had to suction Anderson's mouth
several times. She had brown phlegm in her mouth while they were doing CPR. She said that her jaw was
locked and she could only suction around her cheeks. She did state that during the entire time, that oxygen was
flowing in the bag and they had to move her neck around several times to get a good airway. She did say that
they verified that the airway was good. Melanie told me that after the incident she reviewed the paperwork from
the hospital and it did not say anything about the EKG, only the UTI. Melanie was able to retrieve the paperwork
from C-Techs, which is their computer system for the nurses, and also the medical records that came back from
the hospital. She made copies of these, which I later placed in with the case file.
We talked to Melanie about the standard procedures at the jail, and she told me that she does not want the
inmates in the back of the jail until they have been screened. She is not sure where the ball got dropped in this
case, but on April 20th, she went to JMT and recommended that they have everybody screened within eight
hours. She also said that she wanted to make a policy change so that any inmate coming from the hospital would
be seen by a jail nurse within 30 minutes. There has not been a formal decision made on this yet. She stated
that these should have been in the JMT meeting notes. Melanie told me that when she talked to Renee about
what was going on with Anderson, Renee stated that she thought it was a refusal. She stated that Renee was a
newer nurse and recommended her to be more vocal about getting a confirmation on a refusal. Renee assumed
because Anderson would not look at her that she was considering it to be a refusal.
Melanie remembered that there was some green vomit to the left when you first walk into the room and it was
near the toilet. She did not see anything in the vomit, but was not paying attention to it. She did tell me that she
slipped on it as they were trying to move Anderson out of the room. She told me that typically they have three
nurses on duty during the day and two on at night. You could tell she was upset that Anderson had passed.
Detective Fiegel later got the JMT meeting notes. Please see Detective Fiegel's supplemental report.
I attempted to get with Commander Goetz to find out about the AED readout, but learned that Commander Goetz
will not be back in the office until next week. I also learned that Deputy Jaramillo will not be in work until the 8th at
1900 hours.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Joshua Bonafede, #549
On 06/08/2016 at approximately 0900 hours, I, Detective Joshua Bonafede, badge #549, was doing further
follow-up on this case. I contacted Kay Patterson by telephone at phone number
. I explained to
Ms. Patterson why I was calling her and who I was. Ms. Patterson agreed to speak with me over the phone. She
informed me that she was in cell #19 during the incident in which Stephanie Anderson died. She told me she
didn't know what time Stephanie Anderson came in exactly, but remembers her coming in the housing unit. She
thought it was sometime after dinner and that Stephanie Anderson started yelling for help shortly after she came
in. She stated she was sick and needed help. According to Ms. Patterson, she seems to tune things out and that
there are a lot of women screaming constantly in the housing unit. She stated she could not tell for sure what time
Stephanie Anderson started crying and calling out for help because Nicole Genova, who was housed in unit #22,
was also screaming and calling out.
Ms. Patterson informed me that the next day she did hear Stephanie Anderson calling out, "Help me, I'm dying"
several times, and also heard her puking while they were out eating food. Some of the girls in the housing unit
told Ms. Patterson that Stephanie Anderson was just coming off of drugs and that is why she was throwing up.
Ms. Patterson told me several times that there was so much screaming going on in the housing unit and that she
learned to tune it out by reading books. She informed me that she was reading books throughout the day on the
27th, and never saw any of the deputies go and speak with Stephanie Anderson or any of the deputies doing their
checks. She informed me the only time she got up from her bunk besides breakfast and lunch was at 1530 when
she heard them yell "lockdown." She was curious why they were yelling lockdown and went to the window, and
then saw them doing CPR on Stephanie Anderson.
The interview with Ms. Patterson was completed at 0910 hours.

Case #16-3037
Detective Joshua Bonafede, #549
On 06/08/2016, I, Detective Joshua Bonafede, badge #549, was doing follow-up on this case and contacted Robin
Borchert. I called Robin at approximately 1015 hours and spoke with her over the phone. I identified myself and
explained to Robin why I was calling her, and asked if she was in custody at the Boulder County Jail on May 26th
and 27th of this year. Robin informed me she was and that she had actually come into the jail on May 23rd of this
year. Robin informed me that on May 26th and 27th, she was housed in cell #14.
I asked Robin if she knew who Stephanie Anderson was or saw her come into the housing unit. According to
Robin, she did not see Stephanie Anderson come into the jail nor did she hear her the entire time she was in
there. Robin did inform me that she knew Stephanie was the girl who died while she was there, and stated that
she only heard rumors about Stephanie's death and never witnessed anything. I asked her what rumors she
heard and she informed me she heard that Stephanie had been choking and throwing up, and begging for help.
She had also heard that one of the guards told Stephanie "No habla Espanol." I confirmed with Robin that she
never heard Stephanie crying out for help or saw her, and she informed me that was correct, that she had never
heard her. She did tell me that she saw Stephanie once paramedics arrived on scene, were performing CPR on
her, and saw her being carried out of the housing unit. According to Robin, she looked deceased.
After speaking with Robin, I went to the Records Division of the Boulder County Sheriff's Office and met with
them. I asked them to enter three inmates that we are still attempting to locate into CCIC for an attempt to locate
BOLO. The first inmate entered was Tammara Martin, the second inmate was Yolanda Lopez, and the third
inmate was Kristina Back. All three of these individuals were entered into CCIC for an attempt to locate with my
email address and phone number, asking the officers who contact them to get a hold of me with their phone
numbers.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Chris Fiegel, #541
On June 7, 2016, Detective Dave Salaman and I went to the jail to conduct follow-up interviews with four inmates.
These inmates were identified as Charlie Callis, Haley Price, Christina Perrigoue, and Terrance Farrell. Upon
entering into the jail, we went back to the Women's Module to speak with the three female inmates. We were able
to acquire a private room to interview each one separately.
The first inmate we spoke with was Charlie Callis.
While speaking with Charlie Callis, she indicated that she was in cell #19, which is two doors to the left of the
decedent's cell, cell #21. Cell #21 is in the Sub Day Room with #19 being just outside of it. Charlie stated that
she could hear Genova, the inmate in cell #22, "whooping and hollering all morning." She also stated that the
female in #21, whom she did not know, was crying and stating, "Would someone please help me." She stated
that it sounded like someone was throwing up. She also stated that Genova in #22 was continually going "Die
bitch" and other weird comments like that. Then eventually it went quiet. Charlie stated that later on there was
commotion with the guard calling for medical help and stuff. Genova then started yelling, "That bitch is dead" and
other derogatory comments like that. Charlie stated that when the medical was called she could hear them using
the defibrillator and doing compressions, counting to 30, and approximately 30 minutes later they pulled the body
out.
I did ask Charlie when she first became aware of the lady in #21 asking for help. Charlie used the time when she
would have been locked down as a time reference. She stated this was about 11:00, so she first became aware
of the lady in distress sometime around noon. She described it to be kind of panicky. I asked her to describe
what she meant by panicky and she described the woman to be scared and saying "Somebody help me, I feel like
I'm dying." Charlie did describe it to sound like the woman was having a hard time. I asked her if she had heard
other inmates at times calling out for help and saying similar things that were obviously not true. Charlie stated,
yes, she has been incarcerated for a lengthy period of time and she referenced a female up in room #9 or #10 the
other night that had been saying similar things, but it was obvious that she was seeking attention and not really in
trouble. Charlie stated that the demeanor in the way the woman in #21 was calling for help was totally different.
She believed it to be a real situation. I asked Charlie to further describe the issue that the female appeared to be
having. She referred to it as it sounded like someone coming off of heroin or being dope sick. I asked her what
her experience with that kind of issue was, and she stated that she used to be a heroin addict and experienced
that same thing. What she was hearing reminded her of the incidents she had had. I asked Charlie if the inmate
had ever yelled out what her issues were or provided any description as to what her problem was, and she stated

Narrative
no, that she had not. She stated that the inmate only cried out for help, citing "Please help me."
Charlie stated that after the yelling and screaming had gone on for a while, it suddenly got quiet. Charlie stated
that the inmate had been crying for help for approximately two hours or so until around 2:00 when it got quiet.
And it remained quiet until about the time of the medical call, estimating approximately an hour and a half.
I also asked Charlie about checks being done and she stated that she knew from her cell that it had been well
over an hour since the last check. She cited that she always knew when the check was being completed because
you could hear the beep of the scanner when the check was being done. She again stated that it was easily over
an hour, possibly an hour and a half, since the last check. Charlie did not have any other new information. For
more information on this interview, refer to the actual recording of the interview. This was logged into evidence as
CF#2. This CD contains recordings of all four interviews.
The next two interviews were conducted with Perrigoue and Haley Price, with Haley Price being first. Detective
Salaman documented these two interviews in his supplemental report.
The fourth interview was Terrance Farrell. Terrance Farrell had submitted a letter to jail staff to forward to
investigators in the case, citing that he had information that we might want to hear. In speaking with Inmate
Farrell, he informed us that most of the time the jail deputies are not doing their job. He cited them to be playing
on the internet, using their phones, and on Facebook when they should be working. He said this specifically
happens a lot during the night time shift. Detective Salaman did ask Farrell if any of the jail deputies did a good
job and he quickly stated that overall the deputies are very good, and approximately 90% of them do a really good
job there. He said, however, they are lazy in doing their checks. Farrell cited one incidence that he had hung a
blanket from the top rack over, shielding him from the view of the door. He stated that the jail deputy could not
physically see him. When the jail deputy walked by he merely scanned the barcode or at the door, but never
actually looked into the cell. Had the jail deputy looked into the cell, Farrell stated that he believed he would have
been told to remove the blanket as that is a rule violation in the jail. He stated that the deputy just scanned it and
walked past without ever looking into it. He stated that what frequently happens is that when the jail deputies
scan they are not actually looking into the cell to check on the status of the inmates. Farrell restated this on
several occasions and stated that the jail has definitely gone downhill in the last year or so. He stated that
commanders used to come in once a week or so and check on the status of the inmates, but he has not seen a
commander back in the cells since at least August.
It is important to note that Farrell has filed grievances on several jail deputies since his tenure at the Boulder
County Jail. Farrell stated that Commander Haas, now Division Chief Haas, whitewashes everything. He stated
that one time Haas came back to answer one of his grievances and used what he believed as an excuse that the
deputies are stressed and overworked. But again, no resolution was done to any of his grievances.
I asked Farrell if he had any direct information as to the death of the inmate in Women's. He stated that he did
not. But he did believe, in his opinion, that the lack of thorough checks being done might have been a contributing
factor to her death. Farrell did not have any other information relating to the death. The interview was then
ended.
Again, a CD containing the audio recording of all four interviews was placed into evidence as CF#2.
After speaking with the inmates, myself and Detective Salaman went and spoke with Head Charge Nurse Melanie
Dreiling. Detective Salaman documented this interview in his supplemental report. While speaking with Melanie,
we were able to obtain the Inmate Medical Movement reports from their software called CorrectTech. As I
scanned over these reports, I noticed several movements without any notation. However, a couple of them did
have some remarks entered into the notes.
The first one states that at 02:42 a.m., the inmate left this location. Again at 06:28 a.m. on 05/28, it notes that the
inmate left this location. According to both those documents, it appears that the location was Booking.
Another entry was dated 05/27/2016 at 08:35 a.m. Documentation is Stephanie Michelle Anderson not seen.
Inmate was placed on SP (suicide protocol) when she came back from the hospital. Apparently the inmate was
complaining of pain. There was no documentation from medical, unclear where the pain was coming from or why.
Apparently she refused to cooperate at the ER and was brought back to BCJ. While at the hospital, she made

Narrative
numerous statements that she wanted to end it and just shoot her. That completed the event. This is the first
time at the BCJ metal screening has not been done. It appears that this was entered in Dictation MH-Case
Management.
The next entry with any documentation was again entered at 4:59 p.m. on 05/27. Encounter dictation "05/27/16
during morning med pass at 0920, inmate was yelling at the inmate next to her to shut up. Inmate was standing at
her cell door very agitated with the inmate who continued to yell and sing.
Medical was called to the module to assess inmate at about 1557. Crash cart was requested. When arriving to
module, deputies were carrying inmate out of her cell to administer CPR. Arrived with crash and O2 via Ambu
bag at 25 liters, and suction was started to clear the airway of any obstruction. A small amount of brown bile was
removed. CPR continued as well as suctioning. AMR arrived and took over rescue efforts, lasting approximately
30 minutes. The inmate was placed on a backboard, transferred to a gurney, and taken to the garage where an
ambulance was waiting. Electronic signature, approved by Jacqueline Arias."
The next entry is at 05:28 p.m. on 05/27. It says after medical event with inmate, I reviewed the jail pass-on.
Sergeant Kellison wrote the following. Kellison, Tim, 1409, new entry titled "Booking 05/27/2016. Stephanie
Anderson was sent to the hospital for treatment. While being screened, she was found to have a very high blood
pressure, she also reports past cardiac history. Once at the ER, she refused/denied treatment for cardiac
condition and instead screaming in an attempt to get drugs from the ER staff. Drug seeking time thief. Also made
statements that she wanted to die. Tanner brought her back to the jail where she is now housed on SP."
The last entry is dated 05/27/2016 at 06:53:45 p.m. Dictation: Late entry: Medical was called to Booking for C.O.
chest pain at approximately 2300 hours on 05/26/16. Nurse Rothermund and I responded. We found a female
leaning on the counter complaining of pain in the left breast area. Nurse Rothermund took her BP, 180/120, pulse
of 90, SPO2 95% standing. She was asked if she had any cardiac problems; she stated cardiomyopathy. She
was asked if she was on any medications and she shook her head yes. She was asked if she had taken them
today and she shook her head yes. She was asked if she ever had this problem before; she stated yes, a long
time ago. Asked what was done to her; she stated she could not remember. We took her to Interview Room A
and sat down. Nurse Rothermund took her blood pressure, 190/120 sitting. I spoke with Ms. Anderson alone
trying to get her to describe the pain in more detail. She stated that it was sharp pain in the left breast area, kind
of traveling around. After a few minutes she stated that she had some pain in the left arm. I asked her again what
she takes for her cardiomyopathy and she stated, "My pills." I asked her when do you take them and she said
morning and night. I asked her what the names are and she just cried. I asked her, "Do you have them with
you?" She shook her head no. I asked her if someone can bring them to her; she stated, "No, I live in Denver." I
asked her if she had any drug allergies; she shook her head no. At this time at approximately 2330, Nurse
Rothermund and I decided it was best to send her to BCH Emergency. Nurse Rothermund notified Sergeant
Kellison. I called BCH ED and talked with Zach, letting him know we were sending Ms. Anderson and our deputy,
and gave him her medical information that I had. At approximately 0200 to 0215 hours, I received a call from
Zach at Boulder Community Hospital that our deputy would be returning with Ms. Anderson, and he stated that an
EKG was done and was normal, but she had a UTI and she refused all treatment. He did forget to give our
deputy all the paperwork and if we could have him come back, he just left seconds ago, he would run it out to him.
I called Master to contact Tanner. He pulled into the garage with Ms. Anderson. I met them in Booking with
Sergeant Kellison and several other deputies, and we took Ms. Anderson to Women's Module, cell #21. She was
very quiet. She was placed on SP due to statements she made at the hospital. She disrobed with the help of two
female deputies, put on a suicide smock, and at this time began crying. She lay down on her side and the cell
door was closed. End of report.
There is another entry entered at 06:28 a.m. on 05/28. This appears to be entered by Lenny Rothermund. It is
pretty much verbatim of what Nurse Sardello had entered on the previous one that I had just dictated into this
report.
I placed copies of all these documents into the case activity files.
Also, while speaking with Melanie she mentioned that on April 20th at the Jail Management Team meeting she
had made reference to issues in the medical staff. According to Melanie, she had made inquiries as to trying to

Narrative
find resolution to where inmates are never transferred back from Booking to the back of the jail prior to a medical
screening. As part of this discussion, she also cited a couple other incidents that had occurred in other jails where
this type of procedure has caused issues with inmates not getting medical treatment when needed. She also
addressed the issue that any time an inmate is returned from the hospital that a medical screening is done within
30 minutes on these inmates. She stated nothing was resolved at this JMT meeting. From my experience, I knew
that JMT meetings take minutes or notes. We then went to Division Chief Haas and requested copies of these
JMT notes. He did provide me with a copy of the April 20th meeting notes. On the last page, page 4 for new
business, it does have a paragraph involving the importance of medical documentation including book and
releases. In that paragraph, it is clearly noted that additionally we need to do 30-minute checks on people coming
from the hospital. It is suggested that all arrestees complete the medical questionnaire and should identify critical
information. It would also be helpful if all arrestees are to be asked if they have had any accident in the previous
48 hours.
While speaking with Melanie, she stated that nothing has been resolved as of this date.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Sergeant J. Oehlkers, #525
On Wednesday, June 8, 2016, Detective Salaman provided me with an automatic external defibrillator (AED) e
believed was involved in this incident. He told me that he had retrieved it from a staff member at the Boulder
County Jail. Detective Salaman asked that I use software to check the memory on the AED and determine if it
was in fact the AED used during this incident. I examined the AED and found that it appeared to be in working
order, and that it was a LIFEPAK CR Plus AED.
After attaching the AED to my computer, I downloaded a complete history of the AED and saw that it was used for
this incident on May 27, 2016, at approximately 03:58 p.m. I downloaded the complete report for this incident,
printed it, and gave it to Detective Don Dillard for inclusion in the case file. I also mailed a copy to Dr. Sander
Orent, the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Physician Advisor who reviews all of the Sheriff's Office AED uses.
After this, I took the AED and gave it back to Detective Salaman.
On Wednesday, June 15, 2016, I received a voice message from Dr. Orent. The message said that he (Dr.
Orent) had reviewed the information I mailed him and based upon this he believed that the AED was functioning
properly.
This concludes my involvement in this investigation.

On 0611616, BCSO detective Sergeant Brian Zierlein asked me to verify the height of the decedent in this case,
which I had described as 56" tall. I checked my photograph of the stat board I had taken at the conclusion of the
autopsy and it said "56". I recalled the decedent was not that short, and I checked her Tiburon booking and found
her to be listed at 5'-4" tall. I notified the coroner's office of this error as well.
The case status is Open.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Don Dillard, #542
This report is a continuation of supplement 31.
At 11:04:17 p.m., Deputy Amanda Pelletier lets Anderson out of the holding cell and points in the direction of the
Bond Commissioners, where Anderson walks.
At 11:23:29 p.m., Anderson is walked back to the holding cell by a male employee, unknown name at this time.
Anderson has a green smock over her shoulders. Prior to being let back into the holding cell, a female deputy
walks over to her and at 11:23:47 p.m., Anderson is walked away from the front holding cell door by that female
deputy.
It should be noted that at 11:04:17 p.m. when Deputy Pelletier pointed in the area of the Bond Commissioners for
Anderson, Anderson actually went to the counter and spoke to a male and a female nurse. Looking at different
video footage marked Booking Fingerprint DSM, at 11:06:53, Anderson went into a room across from the booking
photo area with a male and female nurse. As Anderson walks into this room in front of the nurses, her face
appears to be slightly red. At 11:26:48, she walks out of the room with a male nurse, she then stops and walks
back to that interview room she was in with the nurses and picks up a green suicide smock and wraps it around
her shoulders. She begins to walk towards her holding cell, at which point she stops and walks back into this
holding room across from where the booking photos are taken.
At 11:24:30, Anderson steps out of this room with no smock and speaks to Deputy Pelletier who is at the

fingerprint machine and asks the location of the bathroom. Pelletier points to the location of the bathroom, at
which point Anderson walks herself to the bathroom with nothing over her shoulders. At 11:28:29, Anderson is
seen exiting the bathroom by herself. As Anderson walks back at 11:28:37 back to the holding room across from
the photo area, the area her eyes and nose appears to be red in color.
At 01:46:53 on May 27, 2016, the transport van arrives back in the jail garage area. The deputy that had
transported her from the jail returns her and opens the side access door of this transport van. A small ramp is let
out and Anderson is seen walking out of the van, still with belly chains handcuffed in front with leg irons.
At 01:47:31, they walk back through the secured jail doors from the garage and he escorts her back into the
booking area. She is placed into the third holding cell on the right as they walk in from the garage.
At 01:50:32, the shoes of Anderson are seen coming out of the cell, indicating that at this point she is sitting on
her butt in the holding area. I notice that the two female deputies standing over by the counter area look over their
shoulder and shortly thereafter the male deputy walks into the cell with Anderson and the two female deputies
follow. Shortly thereafter, Sergeant Tim Kellison, as well as the nurse that was working with Anderson previously,
stands outside the door. Deputy Jud Vaughan is also seen looking into the holding cell window and shortly
thereafter he walks away, apparently to get the wheelchair. The male deputy, as well as female deputy, Amanda
Pelletier help lift Anderson off the holding cell floor and walk her to an area that is unseen below the camera. It
appears as though she turns around and sits down in the wheelchair, and the deputy that transported her to the
hospital then takes her leg irons off. While she is doing this, Anderson's face appears to be red in color. This is
seen at 01:51:35. The next series of shots are of her being wheeled by Deputy Vaughan into the housing unit for
the women, and she is dressed out of her clothing into her suicide smock and cell #21 door is then closed.
Looking at evidence #DD5, which was initially received by myself as a thumb drive and placed into evidence. I
was given a DVD copy of what was on the thumb drive and upon review of the thumb drive, I found the following,
at 11:46:10 PM Deputy Brittany Jaramillo re-enters the module and hands the trash bag to an inmate in blue
clothing, then walks over to the Sub Day Room door and opens it at 11:46:16 PM. She steps in and heads down
to cell #26, then heads towards cell #21 doing her walk, then walks back out of the Sub Day Room with a towel in
her hand at 11:49:47 PM . At 11:53:07 PM the door opens up to cell #21 and the inmate in blue clothing, as well
as the deputy, walk in together at 11:53:42 PM and look at cell #21. The inmate then steps into it at 11:53:50 PM
and you can see her feet from this camera angle as she steps just inside the door and is looking at the room.
Brittany steps out of the Sub Day Room retrieving a mop bucket and mop at 11:53:45, and pushes it to cell #21 at
11:54:18. Brittany then exits the Sub Day Room, leaving the inmate in cell #21 at 11:54:24. The first thing the
inmate does is remove the bed from the cell at 11:54:46. The inmate has on rubber gloves as well as a trash bag
slung around her neck. The bed is laid on the Sub Day Room floor and the inmate continues cleaning the inside.
It appears the inmate had some kind of spray bottle in her hand. The inmate then hangs a trash bag on the cell
door on the outside at 11:56:03. The inmate is collecting items and throwing them in that trash bag.
While the inmate is cleaning cell #21, the trustee is standing outside the Sub Day Room and the deputy is doing
her security walk at 11:56:10. The inmate is talking to someone out of camera view believed to be Brittany, the
deputy at 11:58:40. During my interviews with this inmate, she had talked about the green vomit on the floor
being dried and not coming up easily. The deputy finishes her security walk and enters the Day Room area as the
inmate continues coming in and out of the room putting things into the trash bag. At the point Brittany is standing
in the threshold of the Sub Day Room at 12:00:34, the inmate just brought in the mop to clean the floors. Brittany
begins her security walk inside the Sub Day Room as the inmate continues cleaning at 12:00:57. As Brittany
walks from cell #26 down to cell #22, she then reaches down picking up the mattress and brings it towards the
door coming into the module at 12:12:01:32. Brittany removes the bed from this area, then the inmate comes out
of cell #21 and has an object in her right hand and is waving in the direction of the deputy with the left at 12:02:02.
The object in her right hand appears to be a toilet brush and in this video the inmate is pointing with the left hand
at something at the end of this toilet brush at 12:02:05. At this point in this video Brittany is walking back into the
housing unit and the trustee is to Brittany's left walking to her right. The inmate points at the object on the toilet
brush. The object is seen falling off the brush and is seen sitting on the floor at 12:02:12. At one point Brittany
looks in the inmate's direction; however, when the object falls to the floor she is looking back at the door as she is
walking in. The inmate then steps back towards the Sub Day Room until Brittany passes, then steps forward to
pick the object that had fallen off the brush back up, at which point she places it on the edge of a trash can at

Narrative
12:02:20 holding the Sub Day Room door open. The inmate then goes back into cell #21 at 12:02:29 , at which
point Brittany comes back into the camera picture holding a clean plastic trash bag, briefly speaking to the trustee
sitting at a table in the Day Room. Brittany then walks into the Sub Day Room, removing the used trash bag from
cell #21 door, placing a clean trash bag on that cell door at 12:03:07, then walks out past the trash can with the
object sitting on its rim. Brittany then exits the housing unit at 12:03:17 as the inmate retrieves the piece of object
from the rim of the trash bag and places it in the clean plastic bag on the door. The trustee leaves the Day Room,
steps into the Sub Day Room with a dustpan, placing it at the opening of the door in cell #21at 12:04:06. The
trustee then steps to cell #22, bends over and appears to either pass or receive something from cell #22 at
12:04:13. She then continues standing at cell #22 door, conversing with the person that is in it. The female
trustee then walks out of the Sub Day Room and talks to the deputy in the deputy area at 12:05:03. The inmate in
cell #21 continues cleaning, bringing things outside the cell.
The inmate continues to bring things out of cell 21 and putting things in different trash bags. She also comes out
to grab different cleaning towels and goes back inside. The inmate finished cleaning the room and pushed out the
mop bucket into the main Day Room area, as well as she moved a bag and some other miscellaneous items and
placed them just outside the cell. The inmate brings out two plastic trash bags; one with a large amount of
contents and the other a small bag. Both bags were removed from in front of cell #21 and brought outside into the
main Day Room area by the inmate.
Once the bags were removed, the inmate took the mop and mopped the inside of the Sub Day Room from cell
#26 down to the doorway. The inmate brought all the items to the module door and cleaned up the item handles,
and left both bags by the module entry.
The deputy, Brittany, moved the mop bucket and mop, as well as the two trash bags and placed them outside the
module at 12:57:01 AM.
The last thumb drive I received from the jail is of May 26, 2016, when Anderson was brought into the garage area.
I was advised this was only a couple seconds of video. At 2:51:07 PM the first car that comes into the garage it
is Josh Bonafede and his inmate, at 2:53:38 Pm the second vehicle that pulls in is of Les Harrison with Anderson.
From other camera angles, I see at 2:56:00 Sgt. Valerie Johnson and Amanda Pelletier come out into the garage
area to receive and pat down both women that are brought in. Deputy Bonafede's arrives with his inmate and
you are able to watch him walk over towards the gun locker to secure his weapon and then back to his vehicle.
There is another deputy outside that walked back in. Deputy Bonafede escorts a female inmate wearing a skirt,
dark in color, with dark hair and walks her to the blue mat, and positions her facing it. It is my understanding that
this is the party that was with Anderson when they were both arrested in Superior. This is also the same woman
later seen wearing red pants that Anderson rests her head on her shoulders.
The east garage door opens a second time. This time a second vehicle pulls in, which is another Boulder County
Sheriff's Office vehicle. Deputy Les Harrison is the deputy that pulls in. He walks over to the gun locker to secure
his weapon. The two female deputies step out into the garage area. Sergeant Valerie Johnson first approaches
the area by the blue mat and apparently is speaking to the deputies. She then backs up to Deputy Harrison's car.
As he approaches with her, the rear passenger door is opened by Sergeant Johnson, and Sergeant Johnson
pulls out a white female from the back seat. This woman is wearing a black V-neck style shirt with blue jeans and
dark colored shoes. When Johnson helps Anderson out of the car, the black shirt she is wearing is above the
woman's belly and Valerie pulls the shirt down covering it. Sergeant Johnson then escorts the woman directly into
and past the pat down area at 2:57:54 PM, walking her to the back of the booking area.
This thumb drive will be placed into evidence as DD6.
At this time, there is nothing further.
Recommended Case Status: Open.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Paul Dunphy, #543
I was tasked with speaking to the firefighters who responded to this incident along with the emergency room
personnel, nurses and doctor that had contact with Stephanie Anderson when she went to Boulder Community
Hospital Emergency Room the night she was arrested. After speaking with Boulder Fire Department
administration, I was put in contact with the three personnel that responded to this incident at the jail. The first
party was a Lieutenant Joe Savino, who was the supervisor on the truck that day. The truck number that
responded was 2501 out of Boulder Fire Station 1. The engineer on 2501 was Glen Kice. The firefighter on the
crew was a Mike Kendel. When I spoke with Lieutenant Joe Savino, he told me the following:

BOULDER COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE


Narrative
Lieutenant Savino said his crew had arrived at the jail just before the ambulance did. His crew and AMR
personnel were escorted back to the Women's Module in the jail and when they arrived, deputies were doing
CPR, chest compressions and rescue breathing with an Ambu bag. Shortly after arriving, his crew, Glen Kice and
Michael Kendel, took over CPR for the deputies. Savino said after the protocol time period the paramedic stated
she wanted to call the time, but was told they couldn't do it there, and they loaded the patient onto the gurney and
moved her to the garage area still continuing CPR.
Savino explained there was some heated discussion about calling the time of death at the jail, but he did not pay
attention because it did not concern him and his firefighter crew. Shortly after the patient was in the ambulance,
Savino asked if any other assistance was needed and after confirming his crew was not needed any longer, he
left.
I then spoke with Glen Kice, who was the engineer on 2501. Glen explained the same scenario as Lieutenant
Savino did, stating they arrived at the jail, were escorted to the Women's Module where they took over CPR
procedures, and also said the patient, Anderson, ended up in the intake garage. He explained he didn't pay much
attention to the conversations about time of death, but knew that something was going on. He said shortly after
returning to the intake garage with the patient and loading her into the ambulance, they left because the
discussions that were going on did not concern the firefighters.
The next person I spoke with was Mike Kendel who was the firefighter on 2501 that day. Kendel explained they
arrived at the jail and were escorted to the Women's Module. When they arrived, the deputies were doing CPR,
chest compressions and Ambu bag breathing on the patient. Kendel said he was tasked with helping set up IVs
and trying to get a blood glucose while Savino and Kice were doing CPR. Kendel remembered the area was tight
to work in and his job of trying to get a blood sample for a blood glucose was difficult because the patient was
moving quite a bit and he wasn't able to get a finger prick to get a blood sample. Kendel remembers the
discussion about calling the time of death and had to move the patient to the intake garage where they loaded her
into the ambulance, and they left shortly after while the paramedics and the jail staff were still discussing the time
of death issue.
I was also tasked with talking to the ER staff that attended to Anderson the night she was arrested. I was tasked
with talking to Dr. Jason Rozeski; Katherine Beer, who is an RN at the emergency department and triaged
Anderson when she arrived; Maria Marcial, who is an RN and documented the EKG test done on Anderson in the
emergency department; and Matthew Saunders, who is also a registered nurse and took over for Maria when she
left for the evening at the end of her shift. Matthew also discharged Anderson when they left the hospital. I
worked through Boulder Community Hospital's HR Department to get the names of the ER staff. At the human
resources' request, I sent an official request on letterhead for the names of the staff along with contact
information. Once this request was granted and I received the names of the ER staff, speaking with them was
coordinated through Christopher Wehner, who is the coordinating nurse for the emergency department.
The first nurse I spoke to was Matthew Saunders. In talking with Matt, he remembers Anderson being very loud in
the ER department and requests for treatment and narcotics. She was upset and yelling at the staff and the
deputy with her that night about treating her pain with ibuprofen only, that she needed narcotics. He remembers
her as being verbally assaulting to the deputy and to the ER staff. They found a urinary or bladder infection, and
tried to help her with that by giving her a medication that would treat the pain of the bladder infection, and there
was no need for a narcotic. Matt felt as if she was shopping for narcotics and because of her demeanor and how
excited and mobile she was, didn't feel that she was in as much pain as she was stating. Because Anderson
came in with an elevated blood pressure, they wanted to do vitals for her when she was leaving the hospital, but
Anderson refused those because she didn't feel her treatment was being completed properly and to her
satisfaction.
Matt says this isn't terribly unusual behavior for anybody coming in the ER department, but he stated again he
couldn't believe how assaultive verbally Anderson was to the deputy and to the doctor during her stay. Matt said
Anderson was given the first round of medications for treatment before she left the ER and the deputy was given
prescriptions for the other three to be filled by the jail.
This ended my interview with Matt Saunders.

did not note anything out of the ordinary other than she was being very loud and disruptive. I asked Maria if she
saw anything fall out of Anderson's bra when she did the EKG, and she explained she doesn't remember anything
other than a tube of lip balm that was in her bra. Maria said Anderson was not upset with her at this time and she
believes Anderson became angry after Maria went home for the evening. Maria had nothing else to note on her
interaction with Anderson at this time.
I also spoke with Dr. Jason Rozeski on 06/14/2016 about 0650 hours. Dr. Rozeski explained Anderson's
demeanor as being upset and somewhat out of control, yelling at the staff and the deputy. He said this is nothing
out of the normal with people that are escorted in by law enforcement. They usually have elevated blood
pressures because of the situation that they are in. The tests were ordered because of her complaint of chest
pain and left flank pain, which usually indicates some type of kidney pain. The EKG came back normal per Dr.
Rozeski and the left flank pain he attributed to a bladder infection, which was treated with medication to clear up
the infection. Dr. Rozeski said he remembers Anderson being agitated and very animated during her stay, and
remembers her refusing exiting vitals. He also mentioned he didn't feel Anderson was in as much pain as she
was stating because it is his opinion and experience that people that are in that much pain as being described
would not be as vocal and have as much energy to be acting the way Anderson was in the ER that night. Usually
people in that much pain are very subdued and just want to be quiet and still because it hurts so much. Dr.
Rozeski had nothing else to note from his treatment of Anderson. That ended my interview with him.
I also spoke with Nurse Katherine Beer, who triaged Anderson when she first came into the emergency
department. She remembers Anderson complaining of chest pains and left flank pain, which she indicates would
cause them to look towards the kidneys. Katherine noted a high blood pressure and background information
Anderson had given her at the time was some type of heart problem, which they checked immediately with an
EKG which was ordered. Katherine remembers several minutes after Anderson being moved to the emergency
department she heard a very loud screaming raucous in the emergency department from where she was out front.
She went into the emergency room and tried to understand where the noise was coming from, thinking she
would be needed to help the staff with something that was going on. She noted that Anderson was screaming
because she was not getting the care Anderson felt she needed and pain medication that Anderson required.
Katherine felt Anderson was also shopping for narcotics and this is why she was upset because she was only
given ibuprofen at the time. Katherine explained she felt the deputy was doing an excellent job keeping his calm
while Anderson was verbally berating him and the staff almost nonstop. She explained he had a very tough job
because he has to deal with her all night, and they could simply clear her from the ER and move her back to the
jail. Katherine couldn't remember anything else during her contact with Anderson other than she refused vital
signs at discharge.
This ended my interview with the ER staff at Boulder Community Hospital.
On 06/07/2016 at 0900 hours, I arranged with Campbell County, Wyoming to speak with Kelsi Egbert, date of birth
07/21/91. Kelsi was an inmate in the Women's Module in cell #16 and was present in the module when the
incident occurred. I asked Kelsi if she would speak with me over the phone about the incident in the module and
she stated she would. She told me the following.
Kelsi said that she pretty much stayed to herself because she did not respect or want to speak with any new
people in the module and new to correctional facilities. She said she was in cell #16 and she had two other
women with her, but didn't speak with them much either because they were "newbies." She remembers a lot of
yelling and screaming going on when Anderson would have come in that morning, and again stated she tried to
stay out of it and didn't pay much attention to it. She was aware Anderson was pulled out when they were doing
CPR on her, but she was not able to note what time that was. Kelsi did, however, hear Anderson getting sick and
throwing up throughout the day before the incident when they did CPR on her. Kelsi didn't have any knowledge
about the treatment or lack of treatment of Anderson, and again reiterated that she stayed to herself because
there were too many newbies and she didn't want to deal with them. That ended my interview with Kelsi Egbert.
At this time, this ends my supplemental.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Don Dillard, #542
On June 28, 2016, while going through this case with Detective Sergeant Brian Zierlein, we were going through all
the documents within this report and realized that we did not have a copy of the jail pass-on documenting May
26th and 27th. Sergeant Zierlein was able to contact Michael Sandell who was able to get copies of the jail
pass-on. Reading through the jail pass-on in regards to Stephanie Anderson, Sergeant Tim Kellison, badge
#1409, documented the following:
Stephanie Anderson was sent to the hospital for treatment. While being screened, she was found to have a very
high blood pressure. She also reports past cardiac history.
Once at the ER, she refused/denied treatment for cardiac conditions and instead started screaming in the attempt
to get drugs from the ER staff. Also made statements that she wanted to die. Tanner brought her back to the jail
where she is now housed on SP.
Once this entry was read, Detective Sergeant Brian Zierlein remembered reading Detective Chris Fiegel's report,
and read something different in reference Kellison's pass-on found on page 4, in the medical documents from the
jail, this indicates 05/27/2016, Friday at 05:21:28 p.m. encounter dictation: MH-case management. After a
medical event with inmate, I reviewed the jail pass-on. Sergeant Tim Kellison wrote the following:
"Kellison, Tim, #1409. New open menu. Anderson, Stephanie Michelle, 06-30-1986, #P00142303. Timeline as
of 06/07/2016, Tuesday 01:09:18 p.m., booking 05/27/2016. Stephanie Anderson was sent to the hospital for
treatment. While being seen, she was found to have very high blood pressure. She also reports past cardiac
history.
Once at the ER she refused/denied treatment for cardiac condition and instead started screaming in the attempt to
get drugs from the ER staff. Drug seeking time thief. Also made statements that she wanted to die. Tanner
brought her back to the jail where she is now housed on SP."
The I/R placing inmate on SP is 16/2177. The electronic signature electronically approved by Shane McGurk,
Counselor, on 05/27/2016 at 05:23:58 p.m.
Once this information was seen, Sergeant Brian Zierlein contacted Mike Sandell again to see if it is possible to
change entry into pass-on, at which point Sandell told us that only a sergeant or above can change or modify a
pass-on entry. Zierlein asked if he would check to see if there was any history or any other documentation to

show if something had been modified such as an audit of pass-on. Sandell on today's date, Tuesday, June 28,
2016 at 2:00 p.m., sent an e-mail to Sergeant Zierlein providing a screenshot of what he was able to find, which
shows version history. This indicates something was modified on 05/28/2016 at 1:31 a.m. and that it was
modified by Tim Kellison, badge #1409. This also indicates a module booking date of 05/27/2016 where it also
shows the message:
Stephanie Anderson was sent to the hospital for treatment. While being screened, she was found to have very
high blood pressure. She also reports past cardiac history.
Once at the ER, she refused/denied treatment for cardiac conditions and instead start...
I called the Boulder County Jail to speak with Shane McGurk in reference the entry into this medical file. I had
asked him about this entry in reference Stephanie Anderson and he asked if there was a quote, being that he had
cut and pasted this directly from the jail pass-on, and pasted into his document in reference the hospital call. I
reviewed it and on page 4 of this document, there is a "Kellison, Tim," and continues onto page 5 where at the
end of "now housed on SP." That entire portion was directly from jail pass-on per Shane. Shane also said that
once he plugged that into this, he then did a narrative himself explaining what had transpired in reference
Anderson. He said that he had never formally met her and they were planning on meeting her the following day. I
thanked Shane for clearing that up for me.
At this time there is nothing further.
Recommended Case Status: Open.

to retrieve jail pass on for the dates of 5-26-16 and 5-27-16 for the case file documents. I found the jail pass on
entries are in the county intraweb site, "inBC". I noted the entry dates did not go back to these dates in May. I
contacted BCSO computer support specialist Mike Sandell, as I know he is an administrator for this system. I
asked him to email me a PDF file of jail pass on entries for this date. He was able to do this and email it on the
same day.
Looking at the entries which were emailed from me, I noted the pass on regarding Anderson was missing the
sentence, "Drug seeking time thief." from the copy I received from Sandell. I asked Sandell if he could check to
see if the original pass on entry was modified. He replied back and told me that the entry had been modified on
the 28th of May, 2016. He couldn't tell me when the original entry was made. Copies of the PDF file of the pass on
as well as screen capture I was emailed with the modification date were printed and given to Det. Dillard for the
case file.
On 6-29-16, I contacted BCSO computer support specialist Michelle Sebastien to see if she had any contacts for
a county level IT person who could help me see if a previous version had been saved as well as a date and time
for the original post. She said she could help with that, but also mentioned she has the jail pass on set to email
her everyday with the information. Sebastien said her email would have been deleted, but she would check with
county IT to see if they could recover her deleted email.
Later in the day I received an email from Trish Hughes, Senior Web Admin with Boulder County. She sent an
email documenting her findings in regards to the jail pass on system keeping previous versions. Her email with the
findings was printed and given to Det. Dillard for the case file. In summary, the pass on system has a setting
called Versioning Settings where previous original versions of pass on settings could be saved. The settings were
set to not save any previous versions of the pass on entry. This means the original posting date, time and
contents could not be located in the system.
Checking email on 6-30-16, I received a message from Sebastien saying she had heard from county IT and they
could not locate her deleted email which would have contained the jail pass on message.

Narrative
Detective Don Dillard #542
On June 28, 2016 during a meeting reference this case, there was some follow up questions that came up. One
of the questions was did the person in cell 10 that was yelling that she was dying the early morning of 5-27-2016
get seen by the jail medical staff. In reviewing the information from Incident Report 16-2157 dated 05-25-2016 it
reads:
Synopsis: This report will detail new arrestee DAWN BROCK being escorted to the Women's module as an
unprocessed segregation.
Narrative: On 5/25/2016 I Deputy McNeill #1366 was assigned to work Booking at the Boulder County Jail. At
approximately 1900 hours we received pass on from day shift about the new arrestees in the booking area. Due to
the high volume of inmates all inmates were placed into holding cells until they were processed by booking
deputies. Shortly after receiving pass on a female in holding B later identified as DAWN BROCK began asking to
use a telephone. I attempted to explain to her that once she was booked in she would be able to use a phone.
BROCK continued to yell through the crack of the door. Deputy Ladrick #1421 allowed BROCK to come out for a
five minute phone call on a collect call in the booking pit. Once that five minutes was over BROCK was escorted
back into holding cell B.
After being allowed to use the telephone BROCK continued to ask to use the phone again and continued to
disrupt deputies booking in other arrestees. I asked BROCK again to sit down and be quiet until she was brought
out of the holding cell to be booked. BROCK continued to be disruptive even though she was behind a sliding
door in holding B. At this time I radioed to Women's to see if there was an open cell in the Women's subday room.
Deputy Jaramillo responded that she had cell 21 open. I spoke with Sgt Kellison and it was agreed that BROCK
would be better suited in the Women's subday until she is no longer a disruption for the booking process.
Deputy Mason, Sgt Kellison and I approached holding cell B. I instructed BROCK to turn around and face the wall.
BROCK did so and was handcuffed. Once handcuffed she was escorted by Deputy Ladrick and I to the Women's
module. BROCK while being escorted continued to make statements such as "I just needed to call him one more
time", "I just asked to make a call", and "I just need to hear his voice one more time". I informed BROCK that she
was allowed to use the phone and that we were "done talking".
Once inside the Women's cell 21 BROCK began to pull away from me. Deputy Ladrick and I gained control of
BROCK by the back of both of her arms. After noticing that she had jewelry still around her neck and on her ears I
asked Ladrick to remove the jewelry. I motioned for Deputy Jaramillo to step into the cell with us and to take

Narrative
control of BROCK's left arm. When Deputy Ladrick attempted to remove a necklace BROCK began pulling away
again and demanding to keep the necklace. I instructed BROCK to stand up and to not pull away from us. BROCK
began stating that I was "being mean to her". Once all of her jewelry was removed I removed the handcuffs from
BROCK's wrists. She was instructed to sit on her bunk and not move. BROCK did so without any further issue. All
deputies exited the cell and the door was secured.
DAWN BROCK will remain in the Women's subday room as an unprocessed segregation until which time she is
able to cooperate with the booking process.
End of report
McNeill #1366
In reviewing Incident report#16-2171 dated 05-26-2016 and learned the following:
Synopsis: Inmate, Dawn Brock, was placed on SMAN Status and referred to mental health.
Description: Attempted to screen inmate in Booking. Inmate appears to have mental health issues. Very volatile
during screening. Placed on SMAN Status. Mental Health Referral done.
I received a call from Deputy Jaramillo that Inmate Brock's status appears to be worsening. She is pacing and
frantic, and is talking as if someone is in the cell with her. She demanded to be placed on SP, not because she is
actually suicidal, but because she thinks she will be taken to the Emergency Room if she is. She remains in
Womens, #10.
I reviewed Incident report#16-2207 dated 05-209-2016 and learned:
Inmate Dawn Brock placed on level II. Continue SMAN.
Inmate has a history of mental health issues. Deputies referred Inmate to mental health due to odd and agitated
behavior. She was in the module eating lunch when mental health came to speak with her and appeared to be
keeping to herself. Inmate was not interested in completing the mental health evaluation and was irritable but
expressed herself appropriately and remained in control of her actions. She denies current suicidal ideation and
was future oriented. Denied a history of suicide attempts on her med screening. It is possible Inmate is
withdrawal from a substance and/or stabilizing on psych meds. She appears to be more stable than when she
initially arrived and not appropriate for a level IIIA at this time. Inmate does not present as an imminent threat to
self or others.
Based on the above information they were monitoring her and her actions during the early morning of 05-27-2016.
One of the other questions, was how many people were housed in this unit the day of 05-27-2016. Based on the
rosters I was given it shows there were 58 women in the housing unit.
Another task that was identified was an interview with Sgt. Tim Kellison. That will be completed and documented
when he comes back to work.
At this time there is nothing further. The recommended case status is open.
End of report.

Narrative
Case #16-3037
Detective Jeff Pelletier #538
On June 30, 2016 at 1727 hours, I received an email from Facebook, Inc records advising the search warrant was
processed and the records requested were ready to be downloaded from their online request system. When I
returned to work on July 1, 2016, I accessed this system and downloaded the associated records provided
pursuant to the search warrant. These records were copied onto a disc and provided to Detective Don Dillard to
be placed into the case book. The records received contained multiple archive files along with a 1,913 page PDF
document containing Stephanie Anderson's profile information, along with a large amount of Facebook Messages.
In reviewing these messages for the timeframe for which Anderson was in custody, I learned the following:
All times in the records provided by Facebook, Inc were in UTC time. The times mentioned in this report have
been converted to MDT time using utctime.net, which contained a time converter. It appeared as though the first
message after Stephanie was taken into custody was at 1546 hours. This message was sent from Anderson's
account to a "Kevin LaCombe" which said:
"I'm in here with your daughter we have a phone in here they didn't take it from me so if you need to tell her
something say it now before they take my phone"
Following this message there was correspondence with this same individual regarding bond and charges for
Anderson and her friend, whom she was booked in with, Ashlee Mitchell-Martinez (01/17/88).
Then, at 1618 hours, a message was again sent from Anderson's account to LaCombe's account which said "I
love u kev". After reading through the remainder of the following messages, it appeared as though this
correspondence was between Mitchell-Martinez (using Anderson's account) and Kevin LaCombe. Most of these
messages were regarding bond amounts and charging. There were multiple messages sent from LaCombe's
account to Anderson's account during this exchange of messages where LaCombe calls her "Ash". The last of
the messages sent from Anderson's phone while in custody was during this same exchange between Anderson's
and LaCombe's accounts, which was sent at 1713 hours and said:
"Thank u for continuing to be here after looking like a idiot"
In reviewing the information during the time Anderson was in custody, there was no talk about medical issues or
complaints. For further information, please refer to the records in the case book.

Case #16-3037
Detective Steven Ainsworth #536
On Friday, 070116, at 1800 hours, I met with BCSO Sergeant Tim Kellison at Highway 7 and I-25 in Thornton to
interview him briefly regarding any reports he generated regarding this event. I asked him first how the idea that
Anderson refused medical treatment at the hospital was spread around the jail. He told me he was in the back
with a half dozen other deputies dealing with another inmate in the Womens' module and that Lenny
(Rothermund) of BCSO Jail Medical services asked him to call ASAP. When Kellison called him, Rothermund said
Anderson needed to go to the hospital because she was complaining of chest pain, with pain going throgh her
back and she had a history of heart problems. Sgt Kellison said he finished dealing with the issue he was then
dealing with, then called Deputy Mitch Tanner and told him get ready to take an inmate to the hospital. About to
30 20 minutes later, they went to the hospital, he thought sometime close to lockdown time. At around midnight,
Tanner called and said Anderson was refusing treatment, yelling at docs, throwing a fit, and saying things like
"Just shoot me now, just get it over with". Tanner said he thought she should be put on SP (Suicide Protocol).
Kellison said he confirmed with Tanner that she was refusing treatment, then asked him "What are you going to
do?" Tanner replied "I guess I'm going to bring her back, there's nothing they can do for her here." He said he did
not initially tell Tanner to document all the behavior because that was not a part of putting her on SP; she had
been demanding drugs and having a fit in the hospital, but her making those type of statements was why Tanner
believed she should be on SP. Kellison said he told Tanner to document everything she said that made him
believe she should be put on SP. Kellison said it wasn't until about a week later until they were to document
everything, including all the behaviors at the hospital.

Narrative
I asked if Tanner would have had another option than bringing her back to the jail and Sergeant Kellison told me
that, if a treating physician told Tanner she needed to stay at the hospital, she would have been left there under
their care.
I then asked him if he knew the Deputy Chris Reiss had done a supplemental report under Kellison's Tiburon
number and he expressed surprise, saying "Under my number?" When I told him there was a Reiss report created
under his number he said he did not think he had done a report in regards to this incident. He said that, if
someone is on Tiburon and doesn't close it down properly, the next person to log onto that computer and go into
Tiburon will be operating on the first person's number. He asked if I knew when the report was entered because
he would be better able to tell, but I did not have that information at the time. He said that Reiss could have just
"jumped on" a computer that Kellison was logged into without realizing Kellison was logged into Tiburon.
I then asked about the PassOn narrative change asking if he changed it the next day. He said it was actually the
same day and said he was sorry about it and should have not done it. He continued that the PassOn he had
written was not inaccurate, it was just quite blunt. He said at the time, given the circumstances, he thought he
should take it out, his objective being not to seem to be so blunt. He explained taht he writes the short narratives
frequently because he is so busy, so he doesn't forget them. He continued that usually, before the end of shift, he
will go back and update them, adding IR numbers, inmate names, etc. Usually by 0600-0615 his updates are
done and he saves them, prints them out and gives them to the next shift. He said several times to me that it was
"boneheaded" of him and he should not have done it. I asked if it was accurate and he said it was accurate; that
he was just letting the next shift know that Anderson was trying to get drugs and was likely to be a management
problem.
The interview was recorded on a digital recorder and I downloaded the interview onto a CD and placed it into
BCSO P&E under SGA#3.
The case status remains Open

Narrative
Detective Don Dillard #542
On 07-18-2016 I was told that the jail had another invoice from the hospital reference Anderson. I met with Nurse
Melanie Dreiling, she gave me a health insurance claim form with Stephanie Anderson's name on it. The Doctor
listed on the form is Kevin W. Hanley MD and the bill is for pathology for $37.16.
On July 21, 2016 I received a information report #16-2573 from Deputy Brittany Jaramillo reference a letter that
inmate Leah Baum. With in the two pages, she writes that she had listened to Anderson ask for help and nobody
would listen to her and because of that she died. The letter was written to a Dr. Tara Kahn at Syracuse
University.
Both of the above listed documents will be added to the case file.
The case status will be changed to closed at this time, now that the coroner has ruled cause and manner of death.
At this time there is nothing further.
End of report.
