Searched home ransacked, pets killed.

Police are known to protect their own, but apparently some draw the line when child abuse is alleged.

Despite a police cruiser providing "round the clock security" someone managed to make off with an Oklahoma City officer's guns and electronics, trash the residence, and kill his pets by turning off the power and leaving the doors open in sub-freezing weather.   

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Family of an Oklahoma City Police officer accused of sex crimes with his foster son said they found the family's home ransacked after police searched it.

According to the probable cause affidavit, a 16-year-old victim, now missing, told three different witnesses at his church that his adoptive father, Oklahoma City Police Sergeant Maurice Martinez, had been making him perform sex acts on him.

Police served a search warrant and went through Martinez's home, but the officer's family said they found the home ransacked, the electricity had been cut off, Martinez's safe was left open and items were missing from the home, including a Playstation 3, a Wii and guns.

The family also says several of their pets had died because no heat was on in the home.

Are we sure someone didn't just "look the other way."

I saw this on the news in OKC, place looks like a crack house...total dump.  I can't believe they'd let someone have foster kids in a place like that.

I saw the channel 6 story of this officer's arrest and it definitely raised more questions than it answered.  It was interesting that the reporter interviewed a dozen or so young men who were former foster kids of this officer and all of them said they did not believe the allegations based on their experience with the man.  Doesn't prove anything, but it seems unlikely a sexual predator, as this guy is allege to be, would have passed up so many other potential victims.  Sex crimes are particuarly horrendous, especially when the perpetrator is someone is a position of trust.  Nonetheless, a false accusation of a sex crime is also horrendous.  Whether guilty or not, this guy's life is forever changed - and that was before his house was ransacked and his pets killed.

I just keep asking myself one thing on this whole ordeal, "what kind of pets died?"

The kid's still missing, but it's entirely possible he learned enough about police culture to know what buttons to push to get them to turn on one of their own.

Or his body will turn up.
The story is so full of holes it could go any direction.

That, my friend, is a closely gaurded state secret.
