Who Killed My Daughter?
Question: I just finished reading this book and I really want to know who killed your daughter. I didn't have to read it for an english assignment. But I found the book in my schools library when I was looking up stuff for my senior project and I became very interested in it. One of my friends in that same English class wants to check the book out and read it too because she became interested in it too. I usually don't read books like this one but I decided to because it was a true story. Thank you for writing this book and I hope someone confesses up to it because I want you to enjoy the rest of your life knowing that you daughters' killer is behind bars. Asked on Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 06:45:46 PM Reply: Dennis (Marty) Martinez already phoned APD and confessed that he and his friends were paid by the Vietnamese to kill Kait, but the police would not accept his confession -- possibly because it was for "murder for hire" and not for "random drive-by shooting."

Who killed my daughter?
Question: I read this book for an English project. I got a 105/A on the project. The story touched me so much. While i was reading it I cryed so many times. But I could never put the book down. When i finished it my brother took it and read. He said it was a really good book. Thank you for writing a book. My heart goes out to all of your Family!

looks like someone's fishing
Question: On The Damon Fay stuff it surely looks as though someone is fishing to find out how much information you have on Fay as well as what you are willing to share. I have followed this case for years now and it does appear that you are getting very close to finding out some harsh truths about the APD and other persons involved. Please be careful. I'm looking forward to the release of the Tally Keeper...... [joi] Asked on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 at 10:36:04 AM Reply: "Please be careful" doesn't apply now. That doesn't matter anymore. I've already tossed the eggs at the fan, and strong supporters have stepped in to take over the cause, so there's not much to gain by getting rid of me at this point. That would just re-enforce the motivation spurring "Kait's Army." Should have been done back in 1989 or 1990. Answered by: Kait's Mom

Chelsea
Question: I need to findout the end of this book from Chapter 26 Asked on Monday, May 17, 2010 at 05:28:41 PM Reply: Then, keep on reading. But the end of WHO KILLED MY DAUGHTER? is not the end of Kait's story. It's just the beginning. The rest of the story starts with what is on this Web site. Answered by: Kait's Mom

frank arellano
Question: Frank Arellano died several years ago from cancer. I know his son well. We've discussed Kaits case he truly doesn't remember anything that would be of any use to you. I've asked. Asked on Monday, May 17, 2010 at 03:24:02 PM Reply: That may well be true. However, he must know the identities of the cops who held late night parties at A&A Unlimited. If you'd really like to help us, please ask him about that. His father, Frank, attempted to contact us through a mutual friend soon after the murder, but we had by then left Albuquerque and were out of reach. (This was well before we knew anything about A&A, even that it existed, much less that the hit car tried to take refuge there.) Frank must have known something significant and felt compelled to tell us about it, and then, later, when my book came out, lost his nerve. Answered by: Kait's Mom

re: 4th possibility
Question: in that case, it will never be solved. Asked on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 09:29:35 AM Reply: Not by APD. Answered by: Kait's Mom

A FORTH POSSIBILITY
Question: a forth possibility is that a cop did the shooting. un the police academy there taught that there first duty is to take care of each other. Asked on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 04:22:47 AM Reply: That possibility has been suggested to us. Answered by: Kait's Mom

So many other Cold Cases
Question: APD has been working on so many other Cold Cases as of late. I don't see why they don't look at Kait's case. It doesn't make sense to me. Why is her case any more disconcerting or difficult than the ones they've been opening back up. It makes me think that the persons that were involved have either died, have gotten sentenced to prison for other crimes they've committed, or the VIP that Kaitlyn saw is so powerful and intimidating, that APD and all other investigators that were involved will not touch the cold case with a 10ft. pole. what is your opinion? Asked on Monday, May 10, 2010 at 07:22:18 PM Reply: There was more than one person involved: (1) the shooter, or shooter(s) if the bullets were two different calibers; (2) the person who drove the hit car; (3) the person or persons(s) who set up the shooting; and (4) the persons involved in the cover-up. They can't ALL be dead or in prison. And even if they were, people in prison are often charged with crimes they committed before they were incarcerated. And guilty people who have died are identified after the fact, even if that means they can't be punished for the crime. We think your third suggestion is the most valid. Answered by: Kait's Mom

MOTIVATION
Question: or a subpoena by the feds. Asked on Monday, May 10, 2010 at 03:29:14 PM Reply: That is something that, at this moment, every investigator involved in Kait's case, even in a minor way, should be thinking about. Answered by: Kait's Mom

Damon Fay
Question: Damon Fay was a 24-year veteran investigator and supervisor for the Albuquerque Police Department in New Mexico. He was a primary case agent for homicides, police officer involved shootings and major violent crimes cases for 14 of his career years. As a supervisor he led an officer involved shooting team and assisted in numerous major crime joint jurisdictional investigations and task force initiatives. Damon is a recognized expert in homicide investigations. During his extensive investigative career he has developed nationally accepted procedures for cold case homicide investigation and has become one of the leading circumstantial case specialists in the country. Local, state and federal prosecutors and Police Command have called upon Fay numerous times in his career to provide expertise in complex, high profile and highly sensitive investigations. As a Sergeant of the Advanced Training Unit of the Albuquerque Police Academy, Damon and his staff oversaw the specialization training and career advancement of police personnel. He is an instructor in Firearms, Defensive Tactics and Ground Fighting, Use of force and intermediate Use of force, Homicide and cold Case Investigation, Major Case Management, Interview and interrogations and Contact Weapons Defense. Why can't you contact him through his web-site? It seems to me with all this background, there would be some way he could help you now - it's been so many years that he was involved with your daughter's investigation that surely he has devised a method to tell you without it ever implicating him as the snitch. Asked on Monday, May 10, 2010 at 12:58:06 PM Reply: I've read the same information you have about his career with APD. I agree -- if he wanted to reveal information to us, he would have found a way to do so. My e-mail address is readily available on the Internet. Everyone in law enforcement has the name and contact information for our private investigator. I even have a Facebook page, that is open to the public, and people can contact me that way. The information that he DID reveal -- that a bullet found during a second day work-up on Kait's car proved that her shooting was NOT "random" -- he revealed during conversations held shortly after the shooting. Obviously, one of his superiors got wind of fact that he was revealing information that would destroy the "random shooting" scenario, and closed him down. To compensate for that indiscretion, he began slandering me, without ever having met or had contact with me. To chase him down now and confront him would only antagonize him and make him defensive. If he wants us to know, he will contact us because he is a good man and wants to do the right thing. That's not something we can force. It has to be motivated by conscience. Answered by: Kait's Mom

Happy Mother's Day
Question: Wishing you a blessed Mother's Day. Even though you had 5 children who call you "Mother", you have become a "mom" to many teenagers who read your books. Through your writing, many teens have learned to love reading, others (like myself many years ago) found a new favorite author, and all of us have found at least one character where we said "Hey! That's me!" and not felt so alone. Thank you for that. Personally, I am forever grateful to you. (LMN ran "Stranger With My Face" last night and I did watch it. It followed the book pretty well - and surprisingly, I picked out the differences even though I haven't read the book in quite a long time. I loved that story.) Asked on Sunday, May 09, 2010 at 01:16:23 AM Reply: What a lovely message to read on Mother's Day! Thank you. I DO feel that I have several generations of children, many of whom I have never met, who are in some way MINE because they have related to my writing. I didn't know Lifetime had rerun STRANGER. I'm glad to know that. Answered by: Kait's Mom

Damon Fay
Question: Will you post that personal information? Asked on Saturday, May 08, 2010 at 04:40:34 PM Reply: No. That would not be fair to Det. Fay. I do want to mention that he is a man I have never met and have never had any contact with. Any opinion he has formed about me is based solely upon what someone else has told him. So, the questions is, "Who IS that SOMEONE ELSE? Who, at APD, would have reason to want to undermine the investigation of Kait's case by turning young homicide detectives against her family?"

dung
Question: hello, im a 13 year old that has read your book and i fell in love with it. im very sorry for your loss, and God will punish those that have killed Kait. But i just don\'t understand why the police didn\'t arrest Dung. I mean when he said that he knows who did it but \"he\'s deciding\", the police should have arrested him because it was sort of a confession, plus they should have kept him there until he decided to tell you who killed Kait. Asked on Thursday, May 06, 2010 at 07:57:21 PM Reply: There's a lot the police "should have done" that they did not do. When I repeated that statement to Detective Gallegos, the detective in charge of Kait's case, he exclaimed in excitement, "That's almost as good as a confession!" Then nothing happened. From the timing, I personally believe that's when that well-intentioned investigator was directed to back off and support APD's arbitrary "random shooting" scenario. Answered by: Kait's Mom

Damon Fay
Question: was supposedly a very top notch homicide detective. and claimed that Kaitlyn Arquette's mother was psychotic. he called her, "that crazy lady" when questioned about the investigation at the time it happened. apparently, the ones investigating the case thought it was crazy that her mom brought in psychics to help. would always call the mom "that crazy lady" and change the subject right after he talked about how she brought in psychics to help. Laughed it off. You ask me, I think he knows (and knew) who killed Kaitlyn. Asked on Thursday, May 06, 2010 at 10:13:10 AM Reply: That would make sense, except that we never told the police we were consulting psychics and we never offered them any information from psychics. We realized that doing so would destroy our credibility. The first that anyone knew that we'd been using psychics was when my book was published in 1992. Police dropped off the unsolved case in spring of 1991. If Det. Fay and others were calling me "that crazy lady" back in 1989, it was because I was refuting the "random shooting" scenario by offering them information about the Vietnamese criminal group.

Damon Fay
Question: he has his own website - he's some kind of investigator trainer. Asked on Wednesday, May 05, 2010 at 02:45:18 PM Reply: Many cops from that era have now retired. And many have become PIs or "investigative trainers." Or body guards. Or, for some strange reason, they've become limouseine drivers. Answered by: Kait's Mom

Damon Fay
Question: Still lives in ABQ, on San Mateo or San Pedro area NE heights. Asked on Wednesday, May 05, 2010 at 02:41:28 PM Reply: Thanks, but I meant information about him as a member of the APD homicide department. Not personal information. That's none of our business. Answered by: Kait's Mom

Who killed kait
Question: thanks for writing the book I enjoyed it so much. i am sorry for your loss. I have reread the book3 times and every time i think Dung, her boyfriend, had something to do with her death i think maybe he even killed her. Asked on Tuesday, May 04, 2010 at 08:02:28 PM Reply: Personally, I don't think he killed her. But he and/or his friends must have been at the scene, or he would not have been calling people to tell them about the shooting three hours before police "woke him up" to inform him. Answered by: Kait's Mom

Damon Fay
Question: Have you ever looked at APD Detective Damon Fay? He was involved in the investigation of Kait's murder. Asked on Tuesday, May 04, 2010 at 03:28:12 PM Reply: Yes. But we've never met him If anyone has any information about him to share, we'd be very open to hearing it. Answered by: Kait's Mom
