"...today we're going to be learning about the murder of Susan Galvin Susan Galvin was born in Bedford Massachusetts on December thirty first nineteen forty-six her parents Helen and Lorimer Galvin Susan was the eldest of seven children and would regularly help take care of the kids while her parents were at work so it seems younger brother Larry says that Susan was kind of like a second mom to the younger kid at some point during her early childhood the family relocated to Spokane Washington Susan continued to help her parents run the family while she attended school at North Central High School once you graduated she decided to move out of her parent's house and start her own independent Life by all accounts Susan was a really caring and responsible woman so I don't get the feeling that she minded taking care of her siblings but she was officially an adult now and she had had this dream of moving to the capital city of Seattle so when Susan was 19 years old she made that dream a reality and move to Seattle to begin working as a records Clerk for the Seattle Police Department and this was really big for the time Susan have wanted to do something in law enforcement but this was the late 60s and women didn't really work in that field so Susan saw working as a records Clerk as a great start for her having lived in Seattle for a year the young girl was really enjoying living in the city she was dating a lot she was newly single and she lives right in the downtown core very close to all the action including the police department where she worked the Seattle Police Department was located in the Seattle Center at the bottom of the Space Needle it was a very busy popular area especially with tourists really it sounds like an awesome area to work in Susan regularly worked what was called the graveyard shift starting at midnight and not finish..."

"...so this case really raises the question our police officers investigated like regular people or are they given special treatment especially when death is involved on the night that Jeremy Banks girlfriend Michelle O'Connell was shot by his colleagues from the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office walked onto the scene and immediately deemed her death a suicide this is another case where there really isn't much investigating done in a gunshot death and a person's life is treated pretty much like it doesn't matter so let's get into it when st. Johns County sheriff's deputies arrived at the St. Augustine home of Jeremy Banks on September 2nd, 2010 they found his 24-year-old girlfriend Michelle O'Connell lying on the floor with an intraoral gunshot wound to the head, and dozens of prescription painkillers in her pocket please get someone to my house please send my girlfriend I think she just shot herself there's blood everywhere Banks yelled hysterically to the 911 operator so hysterically in fact that the woman called him ma'am several times he was extremely offended by this and the audio and made her to go ahead and lower his voice and then got real fucking calm and said it sir it's sir anyway I digress so upon arrival deputies found Banks a fellow Saint John County Sheriff's deputy crouched at the bathroom door of the master suite clutching his phone the gun was found on Michelle's left with the Tactical light switched on later pictures taken at the scene revealed a second shot had been fired into the carpet despite the efforts of the First Responders Michelle was pronounced dead at close to 11:48 p.m. that night so st. Augustine Florida is an absolutely beautiful town that boasts the oldest city in America Castillo de San Marcos known simply as the fort to locals is the oldest masonry fort in the continental US and Ponce De Leon's Fountain of Youth is also located there so this is a very old city lately mired in history and Scenic Beauty it's a small town of roughly 14,500 people so as you can imagine there's not a lot of violent crime here I looked up crime rates in 2008 and it said it was slightly higher than the national average but like literally by 1% and murder rates were like non-existent so it's an incredible place it holds a pretty much a huge significance I'm not going to tell you why for myself and my husband we've had some great times there including at a location featured in this case the st. Augustine Amphitheatre enough about the underrated city of St Augustine let's get back to the case of Deborah Maynard a former St. Johns County Sheriff's Office Deputy who was on the scene immediately after the 911 call was placed Deborah was having coffee when she got the call that shots were fired which is the signal 18 and she rushed to the address as she entered the house she saw a pair of feet in the doorway..."
