TARGETED - Mark Called Baseline Killer Before Any Investigation Whatsoever!

July 14, 2006, unemployed, mentally unstable, methamphetamine addict, Darlene Candice Fernandez, calls the Baseline task team reporting that she felt Mark was the Baseline Killer. When Darlene didn’t get a call back right away that same day, she escalates the situation and calls the Department of Corrections to try to get them to do something. DOC springs into Keystone Cop action and Todd Gerrish calls the Baseline task team suggesting that Mark resembled the composite and that they had been contacted by Darlene. Todd also misinforms the task team saying that Mark was a level two sex offender. Good job, duh, Todd. Utterly untrue.

Notonly did Darlene lie to police after she was beat up by her boyfriend, telling them Mark was her attacker, she also told police that Mark had raped her. Forensics didn’t support Darlene’s claim of a rape and without physical evidence of a rape, Mark was not charged with rape, never served time for rape, and was not placed on parole as a sexual predator.

The night Darlene was beat up by her boyfriend she was blood tests showed she was high on cocaine so she claimed Mark forced her to snort cocaine.  How do you force someone to snort cocaine?  Darlene has been arrested twice since that night. One of the arrests was a result of her buying meth from undercover cops in a west side bar parking lot - Wonder who forced her to do that. . . . . On another matter when Darlene was being subdued and escorted out of a bar by police due to the owner complaining about her obnoxious insane behavior, she yells on her way out that the owner is a child molester. Seems anyone who crosses this drug addled women is going to be accused of a sexual crime. Darlene then assaults the cop . . . .(look her up at http://www.maricopa.gov/ – case history - Darlene Candice Fernandez).

Darlene lied about the rape, she lied about her drug use, and she lied about who beat her up.

Back to July 14, 2006, Phoenix police reports state that armed with nothing more than an accusation from mentally unstable, meth addled Darlene Fernandez and Todd “duh” Gerrish’s blatantly wrong information (would have taken 5 minutes to research to get the facts!) members of the task team contacted Mark’s parole office that very day asking to violate Mark’s parole and arrest him, calling him “the Baseline Killer.” With no evidence! No evidence! Not a single thing other than a call to the tip line. NOTHING! The tip line received 100s and 100s if not 1000s of tips on other people, of which many, many weren’t even followed up.

Since Mark was in complete parole compliance and could not be arrested, he was then placed on surveillance for two weeks, before it was called off due to “no suspicious activity.”

The exhausted, over worked, task team lead by corrupt detective Alex Femenia (et al) jumped the gun, and rushed to charge Mark armed with tenuous DNA information only. Be mindful that Mark only matched 3 out of the 13 genetic DNA markers – not even sure how he was even been arrested on that.

Left with crappy, inconclusive so-called DNA evidence and nothing more, Alex Femenia was left to do damage control.  No evidence “found” until the FOURTH search of our small home.

Alex Femenia received an award for breaking the case. Curious what he received monetarily. And now a proud double dipper of your tax dollars by retiring from PPD and then being rehired at the County Attorneys office to work on Mark’s case full time, drawing both a full pension and salary.

Darlene Fernandez received the $100,000 reward. Wonder how much meth that will buy.
