What is maddening to me is that more than a decade after Heidi's death, so much is still unclear. What did IMPD
00:00:07
know and when? >> Right. It's obvious that someone in leadership saw something, at least with
00:00:13
Francisco, because Janice told us that apparently in the spring of 2015, so this is months before Heidi died, a
00:00:20
high-ranking official pulled her aside and said that they were concerned Heidi was riding with the same male officer a
00:00:27
little too often. He suggested that she like, you know, maybe mix it up. Ride with some
00:00:32
different officers. Now, Janice doesn't remember if he named Francisco specifically, but she knew that's who he
00:00:38
meant since Heidi often did ride-alongs with him. So, she and Mike told Heidi switch it up. They assumed she did. So,
00:00:45
they were worried enough to tell her mom, but not to actually do anything themselves.
