      Preface

      This book recounts true and actual events that the author experienced between November 2000 and May 2004. Specific dates and descriptions of events have been substantiated through documentation obtained via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The names of the victims, investigators, and the perpetrator involved have been concealed to protect their identities. The names of certain public officials, such as legislators, have been preserved, as they were public officials acting in their official positions in government. These events occurred in suburban Maryland.

      Introduction

      I never wanted to be a political activist. My motto had always been that politics and religion were topics to avoid in polite, daily conversation. I tried to stay informed about world events. I voted. But that was the extent of my interest. I would have preferred to remain anonymous. And although my coworkers and friends might have considered me outgoing, this was out of necessity. I forced myself into public speaking roles so that I’d be good at it. On occasion I needed to give a presentation, and I wasn’t intimidated. But these were work topics, and I had a work persona. Deep down inside, I preferred anonymity. I was really a shy person who recognized the weakness and overcame it. I’ve always gone after what I wanted. I’ve always set my sights high, and wanted to accomplish great things personally and professionally. Internally, I found it to be a battle between wanting to spend life curled up in a cozy blanket relaxing with a good book, and getting out there and making a difference because we only live once. Life is short after all. Perhaps we all have this inner conflict . It is the battle between complacency and action that plagued Hamlet, and separates the couch potato from the daily runner. When it mattered to me, I have always found the energy to make the effort. Life sometimes forces the issue, and throws us into areas where we didn’t plan to go. That’s how I became involved in politics. Necessity, as I saw it, not choice. Of course, I could have avoided it; ignored it. But I felt compelled to correct what I considered to be an error, which I discovered through personal experience. Looking back on it, it was four years of my life which now seemed like just a blink; just a memory. In the grand scheme of things, maybe it doesn’t even matter. But as I sit here and think about it, maybe it should.

      Chapter 1. Growing Up

      As a child I wanted to be an astronaut. That seemed like the hardest thing a person could do, so I wanted to do it. When I, at the ripe age of four, told my parents that I wanted to be an astronaut, they never said I couldn’t. That was an important foundation for my future life. No one in my family ever said, You can’t do that. Therefore, there were not many things I felt I could not achieve, given the appropriate amount of work and dedication. I used to imagine myself standing on the rings of Saturn, and taking a backward swan dive off into the depths of space. I was fascinated by science, a trait that my parents fostered from a young age. My father taught me the importance of environmental conservation and protection. He brought me trinkets, such as glass vials with screw on lids, which I used to capture pond water and conduct experiments on plant growth. From a young teenager I sought out any extra curricular activity or program I could in science. From a summer DNA course to research on galaxies, to a scholarship to Space Camp. I excelled in school, though it wasn’t easy for me. I had to study each night, but I made good grades.

      I had four older siblings, but grew up with the luxury of being an only child for many years because the other children went away for college. I had a very few, very close friends, and my parents were counted among them. We spent a lot of time together. They had two hobbies, competitive pistol shooting and square dancing. These took us traveling around the northeast, to dances or pistol matches. I sometimes stood in at a dance practice if a partner was absent, and although I tried to tell myself it was humiliating for a young teenager, I really secretly enjoyed it. Shooting was a great sport to be involved in as well, because it taught not only safety, responsibly and discipline, but self-control and self-confidence.

      My father recommended I go to college for engineering. Since my older siblings referred to him as the ‘wise old owl,’ I decided that it was good advice. He explained that I needed a day job, and engineering was a good field. I never wandered far from my love of space, and in college as an undergraduate I did my first research on impact cratering on earth. This afforded me the opportunity to go to Italy at the age of 19 to conduct a field study of impact-related rocks. The next summer I was selected for an internship at a major federal facility in suburban Maryland. It was a dream come true, as I had applied for such an opportunity three years running, and hadn’t been selected yet. I worked hard in that program, and was then invited back there for three consecutive summers to do research on planetary atmospheres. Finally, upon graduation, I was offered a job as a contractor with the same group, and so started my professional career in September 2000. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was. I was single, and jumped at the opportunity for my dream job. I wasn’t an astronaut, but it was close enough. Upon accepting the job, I bought my first house at age 23 when I moved to the area. Shortly after I moved, I enrolled in a master’s degree program in applied physics. I would take classes at night while working full time. It was an ambitious plan, but I thought it was
