I don't want to miss anyone so please pass on the message to your respective teams. The call for reinforcements (at 11:00 PM) was answered without complaints. Despite not leaving until 6:45 AM this morning, the team overcame some significant hurdles, and a visit from our friends at FDNY, with a smile. Seriously, tried to release people but they refused to leave until the search was complete and everyone was done. They were in it to the end. It is a pleasure working side by side professionals who are motivated by the mission at hand. A true team effort from Ops, Intel, and OSD (a on the photos). and Congratulations! Your ability to keep this case out of the media for six months has been instrumental to ensuring that our pursuit of justice will continue without delay. This is yet the latest example that the most significant and impactful child exploitation cases in the area are being worked by this Task Force. I know we're still at the beginning of a long effort but I know your team is committed to finding and giving a voice to the dozens of victims wherever they may be. and As always, we appreciate the support from CID and your commitment to get our agents/Detectives around the country as we work to identify and provide services to the many victims of JE. and a Much thanks to your team for their support of the case. Clearly tons of work to do and we appreciate the partnership as we continue on this journey. It's not often that we have to call an AUSA in the middle of the night so it was great to have them answering the phones and working throughout the night.
