The Man in the Box Michael Petellat

Sept. 11, 2001 was a day that showed us we were not prepared for the new world of terror. We needed to rework the way we shared information between our law enforcement agencies because, in many cases, the information was not shared. This story is about sharing information or maneuvering around obstacles for advancing one's own agenda. Spring Break is a springtime ritual that brings young adults to Florida to get away from college and relax and have fun. Some would call it a fertility rite. No mater what you think, it is party time. The party halts in the sand dunes of Canaveral Sea Side. A death of an unidentified person on Federal grounds, where illegals were known to use to gain entry into the USA. Whose case would this be? Immigration, FBI, National Parks, Sheriff. This time A group decision was made. Deputy Detective Sergeant Leslie Pike would take the Lead, FBI agent John Smith would be assigned to coordinate.
