Communications
From: Dhruv Mehrotra
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Maine Freedom of Access Act, I hereby request the following records:
In October 2001, a 25 year old woman named Amy Saint Laurent disappeared. The PPD contacted a psychic named Vicki Monroe - a spirit investigator - to help find her. I am looking for:
- any communications (emails, letters, phone calls) with Vicki Monroe from 2000 until the date this request is processed.
- any communications (emails, letters, phone calls) with any forensic psychics or mediums from 2000 until the date this request is processed.
- any investigatory records produced by any forensic psychic or hypnotist during the course of any investigation by the PPD since 2000.
- records reflecting the number of cases psychics or hypnosis has been used by PPD since the year 2000.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by 1 M.R.S.A. § 408(6). The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, and is not made for commercial usage.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
