@PayrollNerd - just wondering if Burda has another court hearing date yet? Maybe even a trial date? :)

and maybe you can check on Lori Ann Declusin - she still on the lam? Last date I have as an update is 6/10/22.

It's hard to believe how badly Phoenix Oregon LE bungled the investigation. Just sad. Both Dennis and Ernie were really good people with marvelous stories of their days with the Renaissance Fair. They used to come into a place I worked just outside of Phoenix.


"The state appealed the exclusion order the next month, and the case has made little progress since then. Burda had been released from jail pending trial, but wound up back behind bars after he was convicted of third-degree robbery in Jackson County and imprisoned at the Columbia River Correctional Institution on Feb. 9 of this year.

Plaintiffs ... previously filed suit against the police department in Oregon federal court one year ago, but the case was dismissed in January 2021 after Judge Mark D. Clarke determined the family’s claims didn’t fit federal law, but could be pursued in state court."


"The lawsuit, filed in March, accuses Phoenix police with negligence in the investigation by overlooking Day’s body inside his own home and missing key evidence.

An amended lawsuit filed May 15 added a new charge of “tortious interference with a corpse,” alleging that Phoenix police “damaged the deceased body of Mr. Day by stepping on him and creating post mortem fractures.” They said the oversight caused Day’s body “to decompose to an unidentifiable state.”

The lawsuit seeks damages of $1.7 million."

Even though that article is from Jan. 2021 - at least I have some notes to update on her since all I had was up to 2019. Wonder why they did not mention her $10K warrant out of Oregon...
Thanks!

Good question. I was surprised when I found it. I wonder if she's still in custody?
