Police Chief Appeal Puts Wheels of Justice in Motion


RALEIGH, N.C. — Authorities in New York arrested a convicted sex offender yesterday in the slaying of a police chief’s daughter, hours after the lawman made an emotional plea for help tracking the suspect down.

FBI agents and US marshals took Michael Neal Harvey, 34, into custody without incident in Niagara Falls, N.Y. He was wanted on a murder warrant in the killing of Valerie Hamilton, a 23-year-old preschool teacher and swim instructor whose body was found in a Charlotte self-storage unit on Saturday.

Merl Hamilton, police chief in the Charlotte-area city of Concord, used an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America’’ to ask for help from law enforcement around the country, his voice breaking several times as he spoke....

“Law enforcement across this country is like a brotherhood and a sisterhood and I’m hoping that they’ll help me with this, and that they can get out there and find this guy,’’ Hamilton said before Harvey’s arrest.  

That seems to administer a lot of taserings, beatings, and murders to the citizens they allegedly protect in this country.

Valerie Hamilton was last seen alive at a Charlotte tavern. Police have said they think Harvey is the man spotted on surveillance video leaving the tavern with her early Wednesday....  

I'm for the return of prohibition. 

If it is good enough for pot it is good enough for alcohol. 

Nothing good ever happens when alcohol is involved -- despite the endless corporate media advertising and promotion.
