The Locksmith Died Twice
The locksmith died twice — once in the fire, and once when the truth came out. His name was Ansel Merrin. In the town of Delmere, everyone simply called him "Locks."

The El Paso Police Department's Complaint System. Content Warning.
A severe problem exists within the El Paso Police Department (EPPD). The problem goes beyond officers who choose off-duty jobs over their police responsibilities. The system stands as a dysfunctional mess which maintains such deep-seated indifference and protective instincts that filing an officer complaint becomes futile. Throughout my experience as a journalist who investigates public officials I have encountered multiple institutional breakdowns but the EPPD remains uniquely incapable of handling misconduct complaints. The refusal of the EPPD to address misconduct issues proves such profound incompetence that it sets a new standard for institutional failure. The issue is not anti-police but anti-injustice and anti-negligence and anti-the absurd runaround that victims experience when they ask for accountability.
