Retired chief of Police Thomas finn even called it one of the most disturbing things he had ever seen. He said during his time in office he had. Never ordered a case be closed out might get muddied, conger, he has never practiced policing by appeasment. Boulder city says they never got a resignation from conger, and theyre details about the investigation. But many who call think they deserve to know whats going on.
