Being a new Investigator to the unit, 1 asked Detective Epperson the interview with suspect Russeil Laderer. During the interview Laderer confessed to an altercation with the victim [Jeremiah Demarioi in which Demario suffered a single stab wound to the chest. upon obtaining the confession, Detective Epperson and I left the interview room which sits directly next to the "o!d deputies" room. Upon entering the "o|d detectives" office, Major Plazio and other detectives {not exactly sure who} were standing near the video case cracker system. Major Plazio gave Detective Epperson a "high five" and congratulated him on getting the confession. At this time, this Investigator started to work on the charging documents for Russell Laderer ancl while sitting at my desk, a conversation between Detective Epperson and Major Plazio took place regarding Cassandra Glover. Although I am not able to remember most of the content of the conversation, I do recall Major Plazio stating, "That's bull-; she is a witness, she has no rights, get back in there." Detective Epperson and I then entered the interview room directly across from the "oid detectives" office. Upon entering the interview room, Detective Epperson told Cassandra Glover ifshe wanted an attorney, to state it ioud and clear for the camera. Glover did so, and Detective Epperson and I left the interview room without further incident. This investigator was not privileged to prior information obtained from Cassandra Giover during a previous interview{s] Several hours later while talking to Detective Epperson about the case, he informed me that there would be legal problems with the case. Detective Epperson was upset at the fact that he asked Command staff numerous times to remove Glover and Laderer from the scene and they failed to do so. Detective Epperson advised that he would be notifying the States Office so these items would be addressed early into the prosecution. During the summer months of 2011, Lt. Hart informed this investigator that ivtajor Plazio pulled him into his office and asked Lt. Hart why he let Cassandra Glover and Russell Laclerer sit in the grass forso long at the scene ofthe murder? Lt Hart replied to Major Plazio, that he was not in the Criminal Investigations Division at the time, and was never on the scene or apart of the investigation. The following information is true and is given to the best of my knowledge. Respectfully Submitted, Dayton CCSO #95 File ADNI4 3 Kp
