Morning, Ceci!

I'm in Court on a sex assault case filed against a young man with severe autism. Police went on an 18-and-over website posing as a 14-year-old girl, and sexy talked him into meeting "her". Like shooting fish in a barrel.

I'm early for Court. Decide to grab some breakfast, but don't remember if this Courthouse has a cafeteria. I'm following the signs and as I'm walking in, it's all flooding back. Cleo and I lived down here for a month defending a kid charged in a gang killing. Grizzly homicide with a sad ending.

Last Saturday, I worked late. It seemed like a good time to try and corroborate more of Joe's story about Greg Johannsson running drugs and girls out of a liquor store. And maybe a good day to sniff around the Lonesome Pup Kennel.

I'm drove for the liquor store.

It's just East of this musical landmark.

The store is a low rent hole built into the south face of a river gulch

The store is a low rent hole built into the south face of a river gulch. Greg Johannsson is not there. The place is being run by an old man. Nothing visible to indicate drugs or prostitution. I don't want to tip anyone off, so I don't ask about Johannsson.

Five miles West, is Evergreen Colorado, an upscale town for the 1% who prefer to live in the mountains west of Denver.

And the home of Lonesome Pup Kennel.

Lonesome Pup Kennel (LPK) is reputed to be run by "Bunny".   According to Joe, it's a base for sex, drugs, and a scam sanctuary for parolees. The LPK website is unremarkable, with one exception: There isn't a single reference to, or picture of any person. No names, no faces, no owner, no employees, no humans, nothing.

LPK advertises as a kennel, open from 6am to 6pm, but repeatedly warns customers, "Call us and let us know when you're coming". I don't want to call ahead. I want to show up and see the place, and it's employees and customers transacting business in their natural state.
