    10. Confession
    Mar 2 2023

    You would think a confession would be the end of the whole story. Unfortunately, it's only the end of this chapter. And this chapter is the end of this era.

    Hear all about that in this final episode of Damien's story.

    Barb Ruhlman has been training dogs to sniff out everything, from bombs to cadavers, for 50 years. Listen in, as Barb gives us the scoop on the interpersonal drama of the k-9 world, the science of how cadaver dogs work their magic, and her memories (as well as some speculation and commentary) about Damien's case, and the searches for him that she participated in.

    This episode focuses on documentation that led John Herzog to the areas of Jakes Rocks and Devil's Elbow, going so far as to reboot a 2002 canine search of several areas of the ANF at Devil's Elbow. For both those searches, in 2002 and 2003, Barb Ruhlman, of Cornplanter K-9 Team, was present. Barb sat down with me last Friday, and gave me a little more information on those early searches, and describes being pulled from the search for Damien to prove that her dogs weren't alerting to dead dear carcasses in the search area.

    Barb also heard a rumor, all the way back in 2003, that got me to Jake's Rocks and Devil's Elbow, thanks to the City of Warren Police Department's cooperation and the efforts of Northwest Pennsylvania K-9 Search and Rescue, last Memorial Day. For the third dog search of that area so far.

    I'm gonna tell you that rumor, at the end of this episode.

    Also, stay tuned at the end of this episode for a special announcement about Two Moms Media's next project. It's pretty wicked.

    Spring of 2003, in Warren Pa., and I hear a division bell ringing - a call to choose sides. Inside the police department, it was a changeover of the officers leading Damien's investigation. Outside, it was Damien's family, picketing the police department. Winter had passed, but the ice was getting thicker. This Weeks Sponsor: Miller’s Mobile Notary in Warren.

    In this episode, we're dealing with some heavy allegations. Jim Sarver claims Warren County District Attorney Rick Hernan, in 2002 and 2003, tried to set him up to take the wrap for Damien's murder, after he was arrested on unrelated charges. Sounds crazy, right? Well, first let's talk to Rick, and then Sarver, and then let's see what happened in an interstate case involving Warren County, Pa., and Chautauqua County, N.Y., in the late 1980s - the murder of Kathy Wilson. Hernan and Det. John Herzog both participated in that case as well. What's the thing we learned a few episodes about lessons? When we don't learn them we're destined to repeat them....

    John Herzog talked to Damien's best friend since high school, Dave. I talked to Dave too, but I also talked with someone who was willing to give me an interview on tape last year. Her name is Danica, and she met Damien when she moved to Warren from Girard, Pa., in fifth grade.

    Listen in on what Dave told Herzog back in Oct. 2002, and hear Danica add some highlights in her interview.

    We've got Herzog's notes. And a lot of what I found in there ticked me off you guys.

    Let's talk about it.

    This episode is a catch up, of everything we didn't know when press time came on the last episode. You remember when your mom used to get mad? Like really, actually, mad mad, and you knew it was time for the nonsense to end? Time for the nonsense to end, kids. All of it. Everyone is on my nerves this week, and I'm going to tell you why.

    I swear to God it's going to be a bunch of fed up moms that find Damien, you guys. We're all just gonna have had enough by the end of this. #letsfinddamien

    CLARIFICATION: I say in the first 15 minutes that Bryce Blackman’s dad, Jim, served as the county’s District Attorny. I misspoke. He was the Assistant District Attorney. Hey kids! So good news. The City of Warren Police Department has let me know that they'll be releasing Herzog's full report to Dana. When that happens, she'll be sharing it with me. That should happen within the next week - we see no reason it shouldn't be in Dana's hands - and, by extension, ours - this week. This is huge news for Damien's family. Enormous. Big freaking deal. I couldn't be more excited for them. But also for us. Everyone wins on this deal. Except if there's anyone in there who turns out to have accountability for Damien's extended absence. We don't know if there is nor not, but if so, it's a bad day for that person. To be sure to be sure. Anyhow. This episode starts off summarizing Steven, and his interview with Herzog, then swings around to deal with Herzog's questions after having spoken to some other folks. Many of Herzog's questions were - and are to this day - my own. But he brings up the mother of all silly ass nonsense in this case: If everyone was expecting Damien back at home, at a certain time, but no one was supposed to go get him, how did they figure he was getting there?
