Local rape cases involving John Stafford, an Airman at Mountain Home Air Force Base and covered by the Mountain Home News in 2014 & 2018 with no local court convictions have finally found some closure for local victims. Military prosecution was conducted by The Office of Special Investigations, who has been the Department of the Air Force s major investigative service since Aug. 1, 1948. The agency reports to the Inspector General, Office of the Secretary of the Air Force. OSI provides professional investigative service to commanders of all Departments of the Air Force activities. Its primary responsibilities are criminal investigations and counterintelligence services. This was brought to our attention earlier this year and resulted in a guilty verdict in a third case in March of this year, dated back to December of 2018. Due diligence of resources and information has been completed and we offer you this information provided by US Milita
While
Office of Special Investigations special agents hope for the best, they prepare for the worst.
The all too real possibility of OSI SAs encountering a crime scene death was the scenario presented to members of OSI Detachment 223, and others, during a specially devised exercise at
Kevin Sucher, a special agent and Det. 223 superintendent and unit training manager, coordinated with the 2nd Field Investigations Squadron forensic science consultants. They were represented on location and assisted in setting up an outdoor death scene to test the response and crime scene processing capabilities of the special agents, without them knowing when they’d be called or the nature of the scene.
