There have been a few times when we believed we finally "had a break" and that things were finally looking up and going our way only to be met with more resistance. Things that seem to be a "no-brainer" were shut down by politics for some reason.
After numerous let downs and things "falling through" a letter was written to the Editor or several Chippewa County and area Newspapers. I was Shocked that the Bloomer Advance ran the letter in its entirety. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/note.php?note_id=497165911144 Many good things came from the Editor choosing to print that letter. Many questions were asked and WQOW TV-18 did an interview with family on the site where Russell's body was found.
Unfortunately this interview didn't collect the attention of any in law enforcement who could help us get to the bottom of what happened. Several weeks later Fox 9 News in Minneapolis aired a two-part series that questioned the practices and even professionalism of the Medical Examiner who performed the autopsy on Russell. It was in no way related to Russell's case, but suddenly we had more reason to believe NOW SOMETHING COULD and WOULD be done to get to the bottom of what happened to Russell. During the time of this news, the story of a young man named Gregg Meissner was brought to my attention. Here's a link to view should you have time: http://www.realcrimes.com/Meissner/greggmeissner_1.htm.
The information pertaining to the Fox 9 News Interview concerning Dr. McGee was shared by MANY with the Chippewa County Sheriff, the DA, and many others ... all to no avail or concern of anyone with authority to re-open and investigate what happened to Russell ... I continue to wonder what it will take to get someone in authority to take us seriously and DO SOMETHING?!?! You begin to wonder if the Pledge of Allegiance truly does apply to everyone ... "Liberty and Justice for All" ... seems to me you have to have enough money or the right last name in Chippewa County in order to get "Justice for All". I guarantee you that all of the fines Russell paid to Chippewa County for his many driving and other infractions are truly missed and the county would do whatever they had to to locate him if he had any outstanding fines while he was alive. Now that he's gone and has no fines to pay, they won't spend a dime to find out what happened to him. It's all about money, they can't "make money" on figuring out what happened to him, so finding out what happened to him simply doesn't matter to them ...
This is all I have for now ... please feel free to "follow" this blog or forward it to any you feel may have interest.
I pray for all ... that the Lord Bless and Keep you ...
Sincerely,

I Miss You Bud!!
