Chief Armstrong Cleared in Cold Case Probe

Brookford Police Chief Willie Armstrong faced serious charges for allegedly tampering with evidence in the 1992 cold case of 13-year-old Isis Denise Dawkins, but a judge tossed the charges this year—no evidence to convict. The case took a bizarre turn when Armstrong recorded a conversation during his reopened investigation, accidentally left his phone behind, and claimed the background noise from an old TV show was never edited. His defense argued the prosecution had nothing real to go on and that the charges were retaliation for reopening the case and running against the incumbent sheriff—though he lost the primary. The murder remains unsolved, and Armstrong walks free. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
