"If you would like, I am willing to go into great detail in public about the death of your loved one, it wouldn't be nice, however." This disgusting, shameful, violent statement was made by Adams Cty Sheriff Rick Reigenborn in July 2021. The "loved one" he was referring to was Kathleen Rafferty Petrocco, who was found dead in her home with a strap around her neck two years prior. Not only had Kate served as the Victim Advocate for Adams Cty, she was a beloved, respected member of this community for more than a decade. She deserved so much better than to have her death treated with such contempt by your sheriff, or by your coroner. While Monica Broncucia-Jordan's office claims that my sister died by suicide, they refuse to treat her with respect by handing over their investigative file. If Adams Cty truly cares about victims' rights, as indicated by this proclamation, it should care about Kate. We ask, once again, for the BOCC to compel it's coroner to release Kate's records to us.
