As an ex-policeman, it was disconcerting to see the exchange of emails between birders, biologists, scientists and police. The first three made the mistake of trying to play cops and robbers and their emails to each other were not blind carbon copied and ironically the lead Canadian Wildlife Service investigator sent an email to me with all the names. The Okanagan gang contacted the CWS investigators and were told to go back to the scene and take pictures. It was like sending foxes to a chicken coop and the exchange of emails had the cut area go from 5x5 feet, to 8x8 feet to 13x9 feet. That’s 25 square feet, 64 square feet and finally 117 square feet. The three CWS investigators arrived two days too late to collect evidence that had already been contaminated by birders, biologists and scientists. It seemed they wanted my head on a platter.
