I saw your post about "who the LE leaker is?"
I am still wondering how this leaker knew some of the "inside information", that the VD's had not yet revealed to LE.
IMO, the leaker was somehow "close" to this close knit group of friends, tho not necessarily "part" of the group.
This brings me to BRENT BALLARD of the Chula Vista Police department. The last name of BALLARD shows up on "former name" on BARBARA EASTON'S real estate license info. posted here before by Fres.
Could Officer Ballard be BARBARA (BALLARD) EASTON'S BROTHER, COUSIN, ETC? Maybe Officer Ballard is the leaker or maybe he confided what he had heard from Barb to a fellow LEO.
If she was going to be questioned, don't ya think she would have called someone she knew in LE, in order to "know how to act"

"Valid points and I know exactly what you mean...theirjustdue rightly suggested it was a higher up leader or officer...but they do have transcribers...someone has to type out reports..and it's not the officers themselves--could have been a grandmother with grandkids who disapproves of the van dam lifestyle. Whoever it was had a bias against the vandams, Rick Roberts is the root cause of us not knowing the answers to some of the questions. If he was more ethical, he would have been more balanced, and reserved, but that doesn't create healthy bonus checks and new advertising accounts.
Ballard...that doesn't sound like a common name, what do you think? It makes sense that they could be related..
You wrote "If she was going to be questioned, don't ya think she would have called someone she knew in LE, in order to "know how to act" "
Maybe their "legal staff advisor" would? Or do you mean informally, like a possible brother...so she'll protect the vd's?
