Let's poke a few holes through the official records : Quote: Mangum calls her escort service at 12:26 a.m. I wonder if she made any other calls? (I guess we'll never know, since Judge Stephens apparently let the evidence degrade...) Quote: Pittman makes phony 911 call at 12:53 a.m. Two police cars arrive at 610 N. Buchanan by 12:55 but party-goers had scattered. Fastest response in Durham history. (Try calling the DPD from some neighborhoods to report anonymously that someone has called you a name, and see how long it takes the DPD to send two police cars to the site...) Quote: Mangum & Pittman drive to Kroger; a call to police is made at 1:22 a.m. by security guard. Mangum appears unresponsive. And between 12:53 and 1:22 Mangum and Pittman were ... where? Cruising? Enjoying the night air? Quote: WEDNESDAY MARCH 15: Mangum goes to UNC Hospital Emergency Department seeking prescription pain medications She needed these pain killers because...? What actual injuries did she have for which she required pain killers? Quote: Duke Dean Sue Wasiolek calls Coach Pressler about the party and talks to lacrosse captains about incident—she tells them no lawyers are needed and they should not tell parents. Great advice for a member of the bar to give to anyone, especially to anyone who might possibly be the subject of a false rape accusation... Quote: Inv. B Jones concludes there is no evidence for a criminal investigation of Mangum’s claims and the file should be closed. This is not done, and Sgt. Gottlieb assumes responsibility for the Durham PD investigation. How did Gottlieb get in on it? Didn't any of his superiors have to know and approve? Quote: THURSDAY MARCH 16: Sgt. Gottlieb assigns the case to rookie Inv. Ben Himan at 8 a.m. A case with possibly huge repercussions, and Gottlieb doesn't keep it himself but assigns it to a rookie (along with the responsiblity)? Quote: Inv. Ben Himan talks to nurse Tara Levicy at 11 a.m.; she tells him there were signs consistent with sexual assault on her exam of Mangum Why didn't he talk with Dr. Manly? Wouldn't that be the first choice? Quote: Durham police, including Gottlieb and Himan, search 610 N. Buchanan in the evening pursuant to a search warrant. Team Captains Zash, Evans and Flannery assist them, then go voluntarily without counsel to police station for questioning and photographs, and later to Duke Hospital for DNA samples. The infamous "Blue Wall of Silence"... Quote: Sgt. Mark Gottlieb sends out message on Trinity Park listserv: Fri Mar 17, 2006 7:15 am The Durham Police District 2 Criminal Investigations Violent Crimes Unit is conducting an investigation concerning a rape of a young woman by three males at 610 N. Buchanan that was reported on 3/14/06 in the early morning hours. The female arrived at the residence for a party close to 11:30pm on Monday 3/13/2006 and left on Tuesday 3/14/2006 reportedly after midnight. Anyone in the area who saw or heard anything unusual, please contact Investigator Himan at 919-560-4582 x 229 or I at 560-4582 x 228. Thank you for your continued assistance. What veteran officer neglects to write "the alleged rape"? And who settled on "three" males? (Mangum would identify four during her only productive ID session.) Quote: SATURDAY MARCH 18: Team captains meet with Wes Covington who urged them not to hire counsel and not to talk to anyone about the matter. More GREAT advice from an attorney and member of the bar to persons about to be the subject of false rape accusations. Quote: N&O publishes first article about the case: Woman reports sexual assault Police were investigating a report of a rape on Buchanan Boulevard near the Duke University campus Friday. .. A young woman told police she visited 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. about 11:30 p.m. Monday and was assaulted by three men, according to police Sgt. Mark Gottlieb... Anyone with information is asked to call Investigator B.W. Himan at 560-4582, ext. 229 Who interviewed Gottlieb, and did he call the press first or did the press call him? And, since he wasn't in charge of the investigation--that was Himan--why did the press talk to him at all? He was only a second-line investigator on the case... And again, who settled on three men? Mangum's first statements were not about three men. If you discount those remarks, and also discount the remarks about her money being stolen and her partner helping the rapists, and the other three dancers being present, how do you settle on the tale of there being three rapists as being rock-solid and believable? (Especially, how do you do this if you are a veteran investigator?) Edited by Quasimodo, Jun 19 2009, 03:11 PM.
