FROM JAN CALDWELL (San Diego County Sheriff’s Department): "You might think that you're talking to someone that's trusted."You might be talking to someone you know. But if you're looking to do something wrong and something bad, most people aren't going to let that rest. They're going to take that to a higher authority. So, something certainly as sinister as this needed to be taken somewhere, and it was." FROM SoundDiego Tim Pyles (FM 94/9"NBCSanDiego.com): AS I LAY DYING are: a straight-edged Christian metal band. He was a nice guy. I've had him on my show a couple times over the years. I just spoke to him via "Facebook the last couple months about having him come on to talk about his latest record.
