If the Putnam County Sheriffs Department would emerge from the Mesozoic Era, open a Facebook Page, and utilize twitter, and other social media resources. Maybe, just maybe we could all get some timely answers..jmo


FBI - Social Media for Law Enforcement

Departments that create a presence on social media sites open a new door of communication with the general public..

A 2011 survey conducted by the Institute for Criminal Justice Education (ICJE) found that over 78 percent of law enforcement respondents had a social media account. Of those, over 38 percent identified themselves on their profile as policing professionals. This finding illustrates the interest law enforcement officers have in social media, in addition to how they choose to identify themselves to others through social media.

Applying Social Media to Law Enforcement

To their benefit law enforcement agencies can use social media for public relations, crime prevention, and criminal investigation. Departments that create a presence on social media sites open a new door of communication with the general public. By doing so citizens can receive real-time information, as well as an electronic method of asking questions, making suggestions, and providing tips that help solve crimes. For example, in 2011 Kentucky State Police investigators posted photos of jewelry, a tattoo, and a facial composite relating to an unknown body found 10 years earlier. The additional evidence provided in response to the post enabled investigators to identify the deceased person.

[Social media] can help apprehend fugitives, single out associate suspects, link individuals to street gangs, and provide evidence of criminal activity.

Social media can provide an invaluable source of information for investigators. Criminals will use social media to share information about their whereabouts and those of their associates. They also have been known to share photos and videos of their criminal acts. Such electronic information can help apprehend fugitives, single out associate suspects, link individuals to street gangs, and provide evidence of criminal activity.

Are you in Putnam County?
You certainly are social media savvy.
Maybe you could volunteer your time and help them get something started?
Im sure their budget is tight and they cant afford to have someone playing on the internet all day.

The problem with the paranoia by SS concerning leaks, and the GBI being infiltrated, imo, is that there are many investigators from other county Sheriff's departments assisting in the Dermond murder investigation.
It has been verified that six NC members had infiltrated the Macon Police Department and Athens/Clarke County Corrections Dept. Who knows which other local LEAs have also been infiltrated?

So whats your solution?
You post constantly how you want SS to bring more people on board and now you post that all the agencies could be corrupted.
I don't understand if your actually trying to help or hurt the situation half the time.

Residents question decision not to call GBI for help in Putnam Co. beheading

The GBI investigates Homicides cases almost daily in GA.. The GBI Elite Special Agents are very well trained, experienced; 'the best of the best'... The GBI's available investigative resources are virtually unlimited.. The GBI utilizes social media; facebook, twitter, etc..

How is the national study rating for corruption in Georgia? Is it still an F?
 
I think we all just wish this case would be solved. Maybe we're too impatient. I'm sure SS wants it solved more than most, and he is working diligently...and quietly..to that end. No one gets away with anything in the long run...

Yup, we're very frustrated, I can only imagine how frustrated Sheriff Sills is. You are so right, no one gets away with anything in the long run.
 
Bootsctr, that's very interesting. That goes with my first theory of someone who thought they had money and/or guns. Things just went badly. I don't care who is right or wrong, just want someone caught. Hard to enjoy my time when I think about them so often. If they were related to me, I'd be jumping and screaming...why aren't we seeing that?

I don't know. Good question. I guess they must have confidence in Sheriff Sills.

Did you get a look at their pictures? The youngest one looks mean. Well they all kind of look mean and mad, but the youngest one with the little beard/goatee thing going on. He had a little smirk on his face. They certainly had access to a boat being in the boat repair business and all. And I could see Shirley opening the door to a woman at the door. If they used the ruse they were broken down in a boat and could they use their phone to call for help....
 
Sounds like you are describing Sills vs. his predecessor. Look back to that article in AJC about Sills's background. Reseau sp? was found to be corrupt.
But hey, I don't vote in Putnam Co.

lakeoconee, Sheriff Sills re-election is dependent upon solving the Dermond murders, imo. I truly hope he does, but this is only due to his refusal to request the GBI's assistance.
The only other option for the GBI to become involved in the Dermond investigation is that the governor of GA; Gov. Nathan Deal, to step in and order SS to utilize their resources. Imo, the Dermond family and the citizens of RP/GW should demand for Governor Deal to step in.. JMO

the former four term incumbent Sheriff was voted out of office because serial killer Gary M. Hilton; the Forest Killer, utilized Fannin County(Coopers Creek WMA), GA as one of his safe havens for years to continue his trail of terror. GMH was oblivious to the former 4 term incumbent Sheriff.. GMH was apprehended 01/04/2008.. Fannin County was GMH's destination when he abducted Meredith Hope Emerson on 01/01/2008 from Blood Mountain/Union County. He detoured south to Dawson County due to blizzard conditions in the higher elevations of Suches/Fannin County, GA.

Supplies found in Georgia belonged to murderer(serial killer)
http://www.blueridgenow.com/article/20090917/SERVICES03/909171030

The U.S. Forest Service has identified a cache of supplies at a concealed campsite in (Coopers Creek WMA/White Horse Trail)Fannin County, Ga., as belonging to convicted murderer Gary Michael Hilton.
 
Oh just to make sure everyone saw that the arrests were made on June 20th and they're just now reporting on it. The report is 20 hours old. Could be looking at a plea deal maybe if they are in any way related? There's 3 of them. Somebody will turn on somebody I can almost guarantee it. If Sheriff Sills gets something in those phone records that can connect the dots.
 
As a home owner in Putnam County, I would appreciate a better form of communication to the residents and weekenders. It is very frustrating to me to have to hang on for the the once a week update in the local paper.

My city (permanent residence) recently hired a Citizen Engagement Specialist to keep FB updated with info on power outages, announcements from LE, trash pick-up schedules, etc. He has other duties also but does a great job keeping us informed.

All just my opinion...
 
"Rondal Nathan Sims, 45, was arrested at his home at 146 Dejarnette Road when a &#8220;small amount of methamphetamine&#8221; and firearms were found, Putnam County Sheriff&#8217;s Lt. Harry Luke said in a phone interview Friday.

Ginger Moon Smith, 1501 Cochran Road, Madison, was arrested for having methamphetamine, Luke said.

John David Lewis, 24, Adams Trailer Park #3F, Milledgeville, &#8220;a guy working in the yard, who happened to have an outstanding warrant,&#8221; also was arrested, Luke said.

Rondal Sims looks like he might have been punched in the eye. It's a little red. Wonder if he did a little resisting of arrest?

Strangely enough, I read on another Lake Sinclair FB page that this guy owned an air boat who some thought was the loud boat being heard in the middle of the night. All this is in Putnam County but on Lake Sinclair though...

You just don't know, Advocate1... Nepotism, corruption, intimidation, etc; the good ole boy network at its best...

If you should get arrested, the Sheriff's deputy that arrests you will be the BIL of the wrecker driver, who will be the cousin of the bondsman, who will be the son of the magistrate, the defense Attorney will be the husband of the Judge, the court reporter will be one of the afore mentioned's daughter..etc..
You think I'm kidding.:floorlaugh: If it wasn't so true and tragically serious, it would be humorous...

The farther you get from Atlanta, the less Constitutional rights you are entitled too..unless you are related.. JMO

WOW! And if I remember correctly we have a poster that posted a scenario that involved word of mouth coming from somebody who might have had a boat motor repair shop. I mean I wish that poster would speak up because I remember thinking that it made really good sense.

Okay, Lake Sinclair. That's the other side of the dam? I gotta look at your map again CP! :seeya:

OMG! Don't even get me started on nepotism. Local water supply company boss has her sister-in-law, her brother-in-law, her sons, etc. working for the water company. If somebody dies in the family the whole dang place shuts down. :notgood:
