Page 3 The Sun Bay Paper August 12, 2025 TREASON ... cont’d. Big Carlos Pass Bridge will close to vehicles intermittently beginning at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 19, through 6 a.m. the following morning to allow crews to set bridge beams connecting the new bridge to Estero Island. The contractor expects multiple closures during this time, lasting approximately 30 minutes each. Motorists should anticipate delays and are encouraged to seek alternative routes and avoid the area when possible. If required due to weather, the work will be rescheduled to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 20, through 6 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 21. This work is a part of Lee County’s project to construct a new bridge over Big Carlos Pass, from Estrellita Drive on Fort Myers Beach to the Lovers Key State Park bayside entrance on Lovers Key. The new bridge will replace the existing moveable bridge over Big Carlos Pass with a fixed span bridge that will provide a vertical navigation clearance of 60 feet. The new bridge will include one travel lane in each direction, bicycle lanes, a six-footwide sidewalk along the north side of Estero Boulevard, and a 10-foot-wide shared use path along the south side of Estero Boulevard. A parking area with access to the Lovers Key State Park will be included on the southeast side of the bridge. The project also includes relocation of existing infrastructure for Lee County Utilities and Bonita Springs Utilities. The project began in Summer 2023 with estimated completion in Summer 2026. The project cost is about $90.8 million. The contractor is Superior Construction. For more information about the project, visit the project website at https://bigcarlosbridgeproject.com/.

And you caught all the subjects and took it to trial and WON. GET ALL THE CRIMINAL VIOLATIONS WE LOST ...BACK!!! Do away with computer answered phones...I can’t tell you how many cases we broke/solved by answering the phone. For example, I developed a source by answering the phone who led us to some of the biggest arrests and recoveries in the history of the FBI. Director Hoover personally congratulated me on solving an armed robbery by an IO Fugitive (look it up, IO), who shot it out with a NYPD Uniform and killed him. I answered the phone, helped him out of a jam and he gave me that IO fugitive...1,500 miles away from the shooting and one year later...AND in my first office! First Office Agents were not allowed to work IO fugitive case but because I had already arrested a bank robber minutes after the robbery still with the shot gun and all the money... arrested several fugitives, the SAC Roland Trent thought I could handle it...and made an exception! The bad guy went for his gun, and I fought to take it away and he lost. That’s the kind of stuff all of you are missing... you should want to do...solve cases. My partner and I rescued a 5-year-old little girl...Tondalaya Jones...who was the lead story ...in the country. I found her in a bedroom, she jumped into my arms and squeezed me tight and said, “Please don’t let me go”. That’s one of the cases... I’ll never forget. A case I’d like to forget, but can’t, was in Buffalo and Supervisor of the BR squad... we went from an explosion in a FEDEX office, with numerous killed, to four more explosions at different places, and finally stopped the sixth without any more deaths. That was solved with the help of several citizens and the actions of all the agencies working together with ATF and Erie County EOD successfully stopping another explosion with no more deaths...we solved it. We must work together with all the other law agencies and departments...that’s NOT...what has been going on...that has to change! The public isn’t aware of this, but the Buffalo FBI was the first to solve the Oklahoma City Bombing case. A citizen came to the office and talked to the Complaint Agent and solved the case. This citizen identified a sketch in the newspaper as Tim McVeigh, and he was positive of it! After a few law enforcement checks, I changed the Title from UNSUB to Tim McVeigh. That enabled us to confirm in less than 30 minutes that Tim McVeigh was arrested by a very alert OKC police officer on a routine vehicle stop. Tim was driving away from KC... he had a gun with no permit and was arrested! His name was entered in NCIC, and we got a hit...boy did we...and he was scheduled to be released in an hour. Carrying a gun with no Oklahoma permit is not as serious as NY. Don’t get me wrong but FBI OKC and ATF also get credit... however ...we were definitely first because I made the Title change...sort of a pride thing with my old friend in NYO, Danny Coulson, Case Agent and Assistant Director, who was at OKC running the case. The citizen who doesn’t want his identity known is the real hero, God Bless him! Get the Agents you want to keep into the Academy! Teach them how to investigate criminal cases and become real FBI Agents and write up arrest warrants, search warrants, learn the Best Evidence Rules, Rule 41, make arrests, learn how to make felony stops...all the things they need to know. And turn them loose on the 15 violations Comey and Mueller gave away! AG Bondi, if you do the Grand Jury deal...it will be dragged out, held up and 3 ½ years later they will come back with No True Bill. On the other hand, if you do what I suggest, use what you have now for PC, pick your venue, there is plenty, get arrest warrants and do searches with some OLDER Agents who have worked criminal cases (good luck with that), and do some HARD interviews! By getting the Magistrate/ Commissioner Warrant and presenting, we can enter hearsay through one Agent to the Grand Jury, in a Republican District, say Florida, and you will get a True Bill without cumbersome witnesses after witnesses ...that will bog down a relatively EASY case! The crimes committed were against the United States of America and venue can be any place in the United States. Pick a good one! Then you will see the action to roll over when the indicted subjects hear the dates for their hearings...they will run to you to make deals... take your pick! J.
