The Forgotten Part 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Forgotten Part 10
Two of the team members found out the address to Hank Tarpin’s ‘house’, so they went over to check it out because he was a potential suspect to the murder of the Baldwins and Ernesto. Once they got out of the air conditioned car the smell hit them like a bullet, they almost fell over and puked on the spot, but they held themselves together enough to go into the shack and find a dead Hank Tarpin laying on the floor. One of them just couldn’t hold it any longer and went out and puked his guts out, he then stayed out of the shack. When Decker had arrived at the scene photos had already been taken and they were about ready to take the body out to have an autopsy done on it.
Visualization-
-I could visualize (unfortunately) one of team members puking outside of the shack on the ground. I could also see the scene becoming very crowded as the professionals went about their jobs with face masks on their faces. I’m glad that I didn’t have to be there.

The Forgotten Part 9!!!!!!!

During that conversation, Mr. Golding asked Rina if she would help him figure out more about his father. She said yes but Decker was weary because anybody who was involved with the Goldings was potentially being put in a life threatening position (not purposefully of course). After that Decker (hypocritically) asked Rina to help one of his detectives with some background information on the case, so she took him to a museum type building where they have a lot of historical records. They were met by an old lady who worked there. Rina asked her if she would help them find out some information that may help them in the long run. Meanwhile Decker went over to the Goldings house to search Ernesto’s room to find something that may help the case. He almost gave up but he decided to check the closet, he found nothing until he got to his dresser. He noticed that there was about a six inch difference in how far it opened, so he forced it open and found a locked box. He brought it to Mr. Golding so that he could decode it and found Jewish death camp photos...
Prediction-
-I think that there may be photos that are linked to the Goldings and their family.

The Forgotten Part 8!!!!!!!!

At the end of the meeting they weren’t able to decode the abbreviations. After that Decker went to the autopsy room to check out Mrs. Dr. Baldwin, he found nothing out of the ordinary that would give them a hint as to who the murderer was, so he went on about his day. The next day Mr. Golding came to his house at 5 in the morning to talk about his father’s heritage (that is what may have lead Ernesto to vandalizing the synagogue)...

Prediction-
-I think that they will find something that may help them in the ongoing investigation, it may also relieve some of Mr. Golding’s anxiety.

The Forgotten Part 7!!!!!

Once they got back from the office they went to the police station to conference with the rest of the team. during that conference they discussed what the abbreviations might mean. They said that it might mean colleges and such, but after trying so hard they couldn't figure it out, meanwhile someone out there was planning on murdering Hank Tarpin (Mr. Dr. Baldwins camp activities directer)...

I could visualize this because the author was very descriptive. Unfortunately although I have gone to California, it wasn't hot and muggy so I am not one to say exactly what it might look and feel like.

The Forgotten Part 6!!!

After Jacob's brother left to go back to school Decker went right back to work. This time his team went to work in the Baldwin's office, unfortunately they didn't have a warrant to search and it is illegal to search the files because of confidentiality issues. Fortunately for the team the assistant at the office had to take a call in the other room so they were left alone in the file room together. While alone they started rummaging through the file room. They found Ernesto's file, also they found a notebook with a lot of abbreviations that they couldn't figure out.

The Forgotten Part 5!!

After they searched the mountain and came up with nothing Decker went back to his house as his wife was picking up their son from the airport. There son had been away as a foraine exchange student and has just come back to visit for a little while. Once he got home Decker and Jacob were there to greet him. Jacob and their other son were very close so when he got home he went straight to Jacob, they spent almost the whole day together.

Relate to my life-
-This relates to my life because, my brother has just recently went off to college and even though he is still in Maine he is never around. So when he visits it is a rare moment and it is fun.

The Forgotten Part 4

I was really surprised that they found nothing on the mountain and in the surrounding areas that may lead them to a potential murderer. For example on the mountains trails leading up to the campsite there were many tire tracks but all of them matched the tires of the cars in the lot. Also there was some bullets found in the tent where they were murdered but no gun anywhere.
This leads me to believe that the murder was very well thought out and the murderer was very well trained or he/she was very cautious. Also if I was the investigative team I would not have done anything different.

The Forgotten Part 3

While they were talking to Ruby she was packing up her stuff and getting ready to head up to northern California (doesn't know why). When they talk to her she said that she was only going out with him for the sex, and that she didn't convince him to vandalize the synagogue. And that she actually had no idea that he was planning on vandalizing it until after he did it.
After Ruby left they asked her mom why she was going up north. She said that she didn't know why or where exactly she was going up north. After they left Ruby's house the team went back to the office and discussed what their finding were. While talking about it Decker got a phone call, it was about Ernesto and his therapist Dr. Baldwin.
Dr. Baldwin does his therapy sessions on a mountain in eastern California with a group of troubled boys. Recently Ernesto and Dr. Baldwin was found in a the main tent brutally murdered. They had both been shot multiple times, also Dr. Baldwin's wife (also Dr. Baldwin) was reported missing. Decker sends out a team to do a search of the mountain to see if Mrs. Dr. Baldwin was out there and/or to find any evidence as to who the the murderer is. He also sends out a couple of his men to talk to the kids that were on the outing with Dr. Baldwin unfortunately most of them are minors so they can't be questions very in depth without a parent or legal guardian.

Prediction-
-I think that in the search they will find nothing that may lead them even remotely to the murderer or Mrs. Dr. Baldwin.

The Forgotten Part 2

After Decker interviews Ernesto he realizes that he has no leads to the other culprit(s). When he gets back to his house after a long day at work he started to talk with his son (Jacob)about the 'random' drug check on the schools.
His son knows that it isn't just a routine drug check because Decker a lieutenant wouldn't have gone to do it, he would have sent someone 'under him' to do it. So therefore he had reason to believe that his father was abusing his privileges as a lieutenant to check up on him (considering the fact that he has had a history of drug abuse). Decker tells Jacob that the drug check had nothing to do with him personally. Eventually Jacob put the pieces together and figured out that the check must have had something to do with the vandalism at the synagogue. He got mad at his father for accusing him and his classmates for such a retched thing. Decker assures him that the check at his school wasn't because he thought that one of the students there did it but, for the simple reason that the other schools would have no reasonable reason to not let them do a check.
Around the end of the conversation he asked if Jacob knew Ernesto Golding. He said that he knew him a little because of parties and drugs then asked if he had anything to do with the vandalism. Decker wasn't allowed to give away that kind of information so he simply told him that it was classified. Jacob was very smart and realized that it was Ernesto who vandalized the synagogue, he wanted to know more but Decker wasn't allowed to tell him anymore than he already has. Eventually Decker asked Jacob if he knew anyone that Ernesto knew that would do something like the vandalism. He said that there was a girl (Ruby) that Ernesto had been dating for a while and is very racist.


Relates to the world-
- This relates to the world because, in the world today there are many groups/gangs that don't always make the right choices. And sometimes that can lead to even worse choices and potentially life threatening choices, not only to themselves but fr others as well.
- I feel that if there is anyone else that may have had something to do with the vandalism that the only reason they are doing it is to either impress someone, or they have had very bad influences in there life. If Ernesto did have one of these people assist in the vandalism then they may have potentially caused him to change his thoughts and opinions about everything that he believes in for life.

The Forgotten

In the book The Forgotten Rina Lazarus and her husband Peter Decker (LAPD Homicide Lieutenant) recently found out that their Jewish synagogue had been vandalized by a supposed 'Nazi/white hate group'. Decker has taken the case into his own hands and has started a search of all the private schools. He started at his sons school so that the other schools would have no reason to not cooperate.
At his sons school he finds noting out of the ordinary so he goes goes to Foreman Prep. Once there he starts searching the student's lockers. He finds nothing suspicious until he gets to a senior named Ernesto Golding. He searched his locker and found nothing, but when he started to go to the next student Ernesto had a suspicious smirk on his face. He searched his backpack and found Nazi death camp photos (like the ones that were at the synagogue) and a silver goblet that was stolen from the synagogue.When questioned privately he confessed to the whole thing but didn't say who helped him.

Visualization-
I my head I saw the smirk on Ernesto's face when Decker found nothing then the worried look on his face when he was asked to open his backpack.
