Guilt for not spending time with him and being a good father is a B_ _ _ _ _, huh?<br />Sounds like you're trying too hard to make yourself look innocent in your comment (your fingers must've been burning after you were done typing that novel).

To those who know me and know how deeply I was affected from that unfortunate night, thank you for your support. It has been almost 8 years since the tragedy and I am now just discovering this blog. I believe I owe it to those who are still in doubt to what happened that night or those who just believed what the news were broadcasting during that time and were out to make me the enemy. I don't blame those who believed I had something to do with her death or believe there might have been some foul play, I just wish you're able to see that I am good person and would never wish this on anyone. But first I want to make it clear that I do not know why and how exactly Karen took her life that night and I will never know. I was not in the room when she decided to take her life. I only wish to have her here to explain what caused her to feel she didn't want to live. For those of you who have experienced suicide incidents I hope you understand that this is difficult to write about...Yes is was my fault for placing my weapon where she could reach it but it never crossed my mind that it would ever become a hazard to our family. The weapon was in my issued holster which was designed with two safety releases on it. It was designed to prevent someone from being able to pull it out of your holster as you wear it. I came home from work earlier that day and placed my duty belt in the same place I've put it since I began working there. We had invited family and friends for our Christmas party. Yes we were all drinking enjoying our Christmas party like most families do throughout the holidays. Yes we had gotten into a heated argument at one point of the night but nothing serious enough to result in something like that. Every couple argues at one point in their relationship and this was no exception. The autopsy results showed she had the gun powder residue left from the weapon when it discharged. The angle of the round penetrating could only be achieved by pointing it to herself. Her fingerprints were all over the weapon and holster. Detectives found her teeth marks on the holster where she bit through the holster breaking it. That's how she was able to get the weapon out of a secure holster. As I mentioned the holster had two safeties which I never showed her how to manipulate. DNA tests matched her saliva to the DNA found on the holster. This just proves I had nothing to do with her suicide. I truly believe our argument was not sufficient enough to result in taking her life. Karen is not here so I can't comment on how it affected her or what was going through her mind. If I could take the argument back I would. All I am trying to prove is that there was no foul play. I even volunteered to take a polygraph test which they conducted the next day. I don't understand why it was being reported as suspicious or that I was being uncooperative. I answered all their questions and made myself available during my time of mourning for further questioning but it was easier for them to fire me two days later and let me deal with the pain on my own. I don't despise the department but I wish they would have been more understanding and realized what I had just gone through. There's nothing I can do to change this tragedy but if I could I wouldn't hesitate. I apologize for not discovering this blog years back and responding to the doubts. But if you can try to understand that this hasn't been easy for me. Again I apologize for not being able to stop her or being able to change the outcome. <br /><br />My deepest sympathy goes out to all those that were part of Karen's life...<br /><br />~Karen S.

It would be very helpful to know what you know - how you know there was no foul play. <br />I think if you know something that clears suspicion it would be helpful for you to share that.<br />Thanks again.<br />I wasn't there so I can't - and never would - say he did something so horrible. But I do know that this blog is overflowing with officer's girlfriends and wives who are said to have committed suicide, and several officers who were found guilty of pretending it was a suicide when it was murder. <br />Not to mention the particular things around this death that give wonder...<br /><br />So please share. I know you don't mean that if she was sad and drank that means that she killed herself - so there must be more. Stepping away from this particular situation, if I was living with someone who was capable of killing me I suppose that would also mean that our relationship would be such that I WOULD BE SAD, and if I'm an adult it's legal for me to drink. But if I am sad and drink does that mean I killed myself then? That's why I'm wondering if there is something more that you know.Behind The Blue Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429113203939514642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-77741612892901814462010-02-16T13:05:24.619-08:002010-02-16T13:05:24.619-08:00It was a very, very sad an unfortunate event that ...It was a very, very sad an unfortunate event that took place that morning, but Lopez did not do that to her. Karen was very sad leading up to that night and once alcohol was added to the mix, things went over board. Don't throw dirt on an innocent mans name who has been put through hell in this ordeal as well. Best wishes to Karen's family and friends.

As I observed the picture at the top of the page and also in the OID fatalities video 1, I noticed none of the Deputies pictured are that of Mr Lopez but of two deputies who are still employed as peace officers with impeccable records. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time<br /><br />ø¤°`°¤ø,¸_¸,ø¤°`°¤,¸_¸,ø¤°`°¤ø<br /><br />FROM ME TO SOMEONE:<br />date: Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 12:33 PM<br /><br />Here is where I got the picture:<br /><a href="http://www.azstarnet.com/metro/112677" rel="nofollow">http://www.azstarnet.com/metro/112677</a><br /><br />ø¤°`°¤ø,¸_¸,ø¤°`°¤,¸_¸,ø¤°`°¤ø<br /><br />I haven't received a reply since.
