The ZILLAH PD is a bold bunch of crooks just like YAKIMA. Read my class action RICO lawsuit against them at http://ericzahlerofyakama.com
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. It is very comforting that the authorities are taking this very seriously now. Just watch out for those mentally ill people that will start screaming for criminals rights please. I hope this trend of the followup and not taking things lightly are here to stay.  Terrific job Zillah PD, FBI  and Thanks KIMA for the thorough followup.
Leave him in there.
