Dear Austin (TX) Police Department Open Records Unit Representative,

Thank you for your reply letter to me in response to my February 17, 2021, online public-information request (below) at the City of Austin website to your municipal law-enforcement agency for this state-capital city of Texas.

I was very surprised and very disappointed by your concluding statement to me today,  further below: "A thorough search of records of the Austin Police Department provided no responsive information."

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, a dependably civil and law-abiding and honest and vigilant, gainfully-employed, permanently-alcohol-free, lifelong-tobacco-free, single adult longtime-celibate white non-Hispanic gentleman. I am also a current criminal-law complainant in APD Alleged-Continuous-Home-Invasion-Crimes-and-Alleged-Sex-Crimes-and-Alleged Personal Injury Crimes Case 21-0830533, a very alarming alleged-felony-crimes case in which APD Sex Crimes Unit Detective William Costello is the first-rate assigned investigator for APD.

I remain very hopeful that Detective Costello will contact me by telephone or knock at my front door or write to me in the near future and volunteer that he is now willing to authorize for me a forensic DNA-swabs anal-rape-evidence and oral-rape-evidence medical exam on myself for which full 190-day retroactive processing of any and all DNA-traceable items obtained from that forensic medical exam on me will take place very promptly. 

I politely insist on asserting my legal right to myself press criminal-law charges against any and all persons who are ever identified at any time as having committed an alleged home-invasion-crime or as having illegally trespassed inside my current always-bolt-locked and fully-locked solo-occupancy efficiency-apartment unit at nighttime. I have never once permitted anyone but on-duty APD officers and, on one total occasion, on-duty Austin-Travis County EMS employees, to enter my current apartment unit at nighttime or during the early-morning hours before 8 a.m.---and I have resided in this same efficiency rental-apartment unit ever since June 21, 2019.

My current home address ever since June 21, 2019: 
Pebble Creek Apartments (a Belco-Equities-affiliated, large gated-community complex), 8805 North Plaza Drive, Building 17 (northeastern corner of complex), Apt. 2418, Austin, TX 78753.
Home phone: (512) 342-2295. Cell phone: (512) 993-7305.

Re: Open Record Request of February 17, 2021, Reference # R053584-021721

Dear Mr. John Kevin McMillan,

The Austin Police Department (APD) received a Public Information request from you on February 17, 2021, to request copies of records pertaining to the following:

“I am seeking a copy of any and all records of or reports about any interviews of or findings about Lt. Gena Curtis or APD Sex Crimes Unit Sergeant Sandra Benningfield that referred at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, and that, in each such case, were conducted at any time since September 1, 2015, by the APD Internal Affairs Unit or the APD Special Investigations Unit.

My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. My date of birth is April 27, 1957. I was born at Lincoln, Nebraska.

On February 17, 2020, I received a very unexpected e-mail rejection letter from Lt. Curtis, the immediate supervisor of Sgt. Benningfield, in which Lt. Curtis forbade me in writing from ever again directly contacting herself:

Curtis, Gena <gena.curtis@austintexas.gov>
To:
John McMillan
Cc:
King, Michael
,
Larroque, Lelan

Good morning,

In the future if you need to connect with someone at the Austin Police Department please feel free to reach out to either Officer Larroque or Sgt. Mike King; both are copied on this email. Please have no further contact with me, Lt. Gena Curtis. Have a great day!

Lt. Gena Curtis #2170
Investigations 2
(Sex Crimes, Domestic Violence & C.R.A.S.H. Units)
Austin Police Department
P.O. Box 689001
Austin, Texas 78768-9001
(512) 974-5570
________

The APD Sex Crimes Unit under the leadership of Sgt. Benningfield and Lt. Curtis has never at any time authorized any new rape-evidence forensic medical exam on me that I repeatedly requested from APD's Sex Crimes Unit on numerous occasions over a multi-year period.

Also, the APD Sex Crimes Unit has never requested and obtained full 190-day maximum possible retroactive processing of either of the two 2011 forensic rape-evidence kits from me that APD has in its possession for APD Sex Crimes Case 11-1180447 (an April 28, 2011, forensic DNA-swabs rape-evidence medical exam on me) and APD Sex Crimes Case 11-3550615 (a December 22, 2011, forensic DNA-swabs rape-evidence medical exam on me).

I have repeatedly informed the APD Sex Crimes Unit and other APD units over a multi-year period that I have been and continue to be victimized on a daily and year-round and multi-year basis by alleged anal-rape crimes and alleged oral-rape crimes as well as other personal-injury crimes and home-invasion-crimes and trespassing crimes and harassment crimes during my sleeping hours as I lie alone on my own bed, asleep and unconscious and probably snoring, inside my bolt-locked rental-housing unit in north Austin. I always sleep alone on my bed, and I have been completely celibate ever since and including the day I moved to north Austin in August 2001.

I have lived alone inside a double-bolt-locked efficiency apartment unit at Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, ever since June 21, 2019.”</gena.curtis@austintexas.gov>


A thorough search of records of the Austin Police Department provided no responsive information.
