Subject: 2-20-21 urgent question for the Elder Justice Initiative Officials of the U.S. Dept. of Justice

February 20, 2021

Dear Very Honorable Elder Justice Initiative Officials of the United States Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.,

Have any of you Elder Justice Initiative Officials of the U.S. Department of Justice obtained any factual information indicating that an accurate and honest criminal-law complaint from a senior citizen age 60 or older is less likely to be investigated fully and lead to an actual arrest of a suspect by a municipal law-enforcement agency in the United States or in Texas than are criminal-law complaints from persons who aren't senior citizens?

If so, has your office determined that any type of elder abuse or elder neglect or discrimination against, or alleged obstruction of justice victimizing, senior citizen self-identified crime victims by local law-enforcement agencies in the USA or in Texas has recently played a role in lack of investigation or inadequate investigation of those crime reports from senior citizens?

Another question: Has your Elder Justice Initiative Office obtained any information indicating that senior citizens are more likely to be victimized by personal-injury-crimes and sex crimes inflicted on them during their sleeping hours, in a context in which those senior citizens were asleep and held unconscious by home-invasion-crimes perpetrators throughout those felony crimes, than are other adult age groups in the USA or in Texas?

I myself am psychologically healthy and very alert. I have strong training in factual reporting, and I have a Master's Degree in Journalism and Mass Communications from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. I am a former full-time daily newspaper reporter, and I had a very good accuracy record in my reporting. I do not have any criminal-conviction record, as I'm sure the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI are very aware. I am dependably civil and law-abiding. I am also gainfully employed at three different respective wholesome family-friendly corporate-owned restaurants in north Austin. I am single-by-choice, and I am an American citizen. I was born on April 27, 1957, at Lincoln, Nebraska.

 I always sleep alone on my own bed in Austin, Texas. I have been completely celibate throughout any and all of my own conscious or waking hours ever since the day I moved to north Austin from central Austin in August 2001. I lead a permanently-drinking-alcohol-free lifestyle (ever since 1990) in which I am not a "former" or "current" alcoholic. I have not consumed any marijuana since 1984, and in my entire life I have never consumed any illicit drug other than marijuana. I am NOT a "former drug addict" or "recovering drug addict". I am also a lifelong abstainer from any and all tobacco products and, ever since they were offered for sale to consumers, any and all vaping products.

 I might add  that I am platonicly polite and I fully honor other persons' legal right to permanently exclude me from their own life---a legal right I insist on for myself as well when I permanently reject someone from my own life. My lifestyle is conservative (and politically left-wing). In fact, ever since I moved into my current unit on June 21, 2019, I have never permitted anyone other than on-duty Austin Police Department Officers or on-duty Austin-Travis County EMS staff members (on one total occasion, in the latter case) to enter my bolt-locked apartment unit at nighttime.

My third question to you: Are there any circumstances in which your Elder Justice Initiative Office can help a senior citizen criminal-law complainant (myself, for instance) who suspects that he has faced possible discrimination as a criminal-complainant based on his (my) age?

I am specifically referring to my seeking help from your Elder Justice Initiative Office for a criminal-law complainant (myself, for instance) who states that he or she is victimized by alleged continuous-and-continuing sex crimes and alleged personal injury crimes during his or her sleeping hours. 

Does your Elder Justice Initiative ever help that senior citizen (myself, in this case) to himself or herself obtain a full and comprehensive DNA-traces forensic medical-evidence sexual-assault exam on himself (myself) or herself, with any and all DNA-traceable items from the resulting rape-evidence kit to be retroactively processed for the full maximum possible 190-day (or longer, if possible) time period?

I hope to hear from you soon in response to these three public-policy-minded questions from myself.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

longstanding criminal-law complainant John Kevin McMillan.

My solo-occupancy efficiency apartment unit home address ever since June 21, 2019:

Pebble Creek Apartments (a Belco Equities-affiliated, gated-community complex, with Belco Equities maintaining its offices in California and Texas), 8805 North Plaza Drive, Building 17, Apt. 2418, Austin, TX 78753.

Home phone: (512) 342-2295.
