Heading: Fugitive Status From January 2009 To September 2009

Text: Karpstein attempted to call David on January 6 but his phone had been disconnected. David began to miss reports to his parole officer and did not report a change of address. As a consequence, David was remanded to prison on January 8, 2009. On January 21 he was released to a halfway house. He remained at the halfway house [n]o longer than three hours before fleeing. OCS scheduled a case review for February 3, 2009, but neither parent showed up, and it was rescheduled for February 13. David did not attend this meeting either. At the meeting, OCS changed the permanency goal from reunification to adoption. A new case plan was generated on March 19, 2009. OCS filed a termination petition on April 7, 2009. David was next seen in March 2009 in Juneau. An employee at Fred Meyer recognized David, called the police, and gave them the license number of the Ford Explorer David had left in. A police officer went to Diane's residence and found the vehicle there. There were two males in the vehicle. On the officer's request, the driver identified himself as Sean Maroney but told the officer he did not have any identification. The officer asked the driver to step out of the vehicle, but the driver put the car into gear and drove off. The officer ran back to his vehicle, began pursuit, but almost immediately saw that the Explorer had stopped and that the driver was fleeing down the street. The officer initially pursued the driver, but because other units were arriving on the scene, the officer returned to secure the vehicle. Using Department of Corrections photos, the officer later identified the driver as David. Upon returning to the Ford Explorer, the officer saw the passenger walking away from the vehicle carrying a black bag. The officer pulled up behind the passenger, and the passenger threw the bag into a pile of snow where the officer retrieved it. The police began to search the vehicle and, after finding drug paraphernalia, obtained a search warrant. The bag was searched and found to contain methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. The bag also contained a photo album which had pictures of David. Police searched the Ford Explorer and found six cell phones and a digital scale commonly used in drug activity. David called Karpstein on April 6, 2009 and left a voicemail, providing a phone number and requesting that she call him back. Karpstein alerted the police because she knew that David was a fugitive. While the police were present, Karpstein called the number. David answered but hung up when Karpstein revealed who she was. OCS held a case review on August 24, 2009. This was a regularly scheduled case review, held six months after the previous review in February.
