I am writing you to request contact information on the group of soccer players who witnessed Dan Saulsbury's murder. The DA did not keep Dan's body or give it to his mother, or even let her see him. They cremated his remains after the autopsy and I have not been able to even get that information.

I keep my floor clean enough to eat off of because there is a good chance I'm going to.
