Republican controlled Florida chooses to protect Jeb Bush’s legacy and future
political goals over bringing a cold blooded killer to justice.
FDLE
Corrupt members of FDLE deliberately and knowingly falsified evidence of murder and obstruction of justice in the case of Murray Cohen.
Ken Tucker
Jim Madden
Replaced Ken Tucker. He is the new fox guarding the henhouse.
Steve Ubelacker
Recent review of the Cohen case guaranteed justice would not be served. Shortly after following Ken Tucker's orders that nothing be changed, Ubelacker left FDLE and was hired by Sarasota county to head the Fraud and Ethics Unit. Ubelacker violated his sworn oath as a law enforcement officer and purposely and maliciously obstructed justice in the case of Murray Cohen.
Before leaving as Assistant Commissioner, Tucker made sure nothing changed and justice continued to be denied. Now Ken Tucker is the Secretary of Prisons for the state of Florida.

Ubelacker violated his sworn oath as a law enforcement officer and purposely and maliciously obstructed justice in the case of Murray Cohen.
November, 2010, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Assistant Commissioner, Ken Tucker, assigned FDLE Agent Steven Uebelacker to do a second review of the Cohen Case.
Without interviewing eyewitnesses and without investigating evidence of murder, destruction of evidence,
and falsifying reports, Uebelacker closed out his review. Shortly before closing out his review in July of 2011, Agent Uebelacker admitted to Attorney, Mark Gelman, who represents the Cohen family,that he hears Murray Cohen's wife of three weeks yelling at him to give up.
In his report, Uebelacker stated that the Sarasota Sheriff's departments did everything it should have in investigating the circumstances surrounding Murray Cohen's death and found no irregularities whatsoever.
Within weeks of closing his review of the Cohen case, Uebelacker was hired by Sarasota County to head a unit in charge of ethics and fraud complaints and is now being paid $96,000 a year.

When Murray's son realized that Murray Cohen did not die of natural causes, and in fact was a victim of a cold blooded murder, and the Sarasota Sheriff's Department was covering up their mistake, he turned to Florida Department of Law Enforcement for help.
Why would FDLE want to smear Murray's son when he turned to them for help with irrefutable evidence?
