Cpl. David Addison on, Why mass DNA testing is more convenient than irregular lineups:

• "We are not going to bypass them because of a small inconvenience," said Cpl. David Addison of the Durham Police Department"You are looking at one victim brutally raped. If that was someone else's daughter, child, I don't think 46 (tests) would be a large enough number to figure out exactly who did it," Addison said. WRAL March 24, 2006

On Bob Ashley's many calls:

• ."Although we have received many calls expressing concerns and anger about this incident, we have not received any calls which will allow us to assist in resolving this case," said Durham CrimeStoppers Coordinator Cpl. David Addison in a news release issued Tuesday. "We are extending our plea for information and help to our Duke family, who are also part of our community." Addison said that anyone with information about the case could anonymously contact Durham CrimeStoppers at (919) 683-1200 or send him e-mail. Durham CrimeStoppers will pay cash for any information that leads to an arrest in this case. WRAL March 28, 2006

On the accuser’s changing her story every few minutes:

• In an April 3 news release offering cash rewards for information, CrimeStoppers coordinator Cpl. David Addison wrote, "The victim was sodomized, raped, assaulted and robbed. This horrific crime sent shock waves throughout our community."
• Tuesday at 11:16 a.m., Addison e-mailed the same release, but modified the first sentence to read: "The victim alleges that she was sodomized, raped, assaulted and robbed." The second sentence calling the incident a "horrific crime" was deleted.
• Eighteen minutes later, an amended CrimeStoppers release was sent. The only change was that "the victim" was now referred to as "the complainant." John in Carolina June 25, 2006.

Please note: LieStoppers has added the headings to introduce the quotes presented. While the headings are intended to satirize the post, Cpl. Addison's words have not been bent, folded, spindled, or mutilated. Those outrageous public statements are his own and may be better understood in the context of the articles referenced while the combination of the headings and the quotes are perhaps better viewed in the context of the drama as a whole. We apologize for any confusion this may have created.
