Earlier this month I submitted a F.O.I.A request to the Fayetteville, Arkansas Police Department
Seeking as much case information as possible, sadly after 51yrs the case file had been misplaced/lost.
I still have F.O.I.A requests out for the Washington County Sherrif's Office and the Arkansas State Police, hopefully one of the other two agencies which worked on the case will come through with better record keeping.
I definitely would refuse to accept this answer of not being able to find the files. An FOIA Request is not a document to be dismissed. Poor record keeping is no excuse when it come to serious matters. I would escalate this issue of poor record keeping with a higher authority.
ReplyDeleteIf you know of any attorneys willing to work pro-bono and can work in Arkansas I would love to explore my options.
