The Office of the Attorney General and Maine State Police release investigatory documents on the Robert Card mass shooting that occurred on October 25, 2023, with 18 dead and 13 left wounded. Of course, since then, everyone is trying to figure out what happened to the forty-year-old and why he snapped.<\/p>\n

The newly released documents may help the public to understand just what transpired last October in Lewiston. We learned in March of this year that Card\u2019s brain had been sent to Boston University\u2019s CTE Center for study. What came back was astonishing.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Dr. Ann McKee, who conducted the study, the nerve fibers in Card\u2019s brain showed \u201csignificant degeneration\u2026inflammation\u201d and \u201csmall blood vessel injury.\u201d This is not so surprising given Card\u2019s military background.<\/p>\n

The Army Reservist was, according to the Concussion Legacy Foundation<\/a>, a long-time instructor at an Army hand-grenade training range and exposed to \u201cthousands of low-level blasts.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Dr. McKee would not go so far as to blame the pathological findings on Card\u2019s Army work, she did explain that based on previous work, brain injury likely played a role in his symptoms. Enter the U.S. Army, who has yet to speak about its soldier. One would have thought that the newly released documents would shed some light on Card\u2019s mental health and how he was treated in the Army, but nothing.<\/p>\n

Within the 3,000 documents released, without any indexing, AbleChild was unable to find any reference to Card\u2019s mental health treatment while serving in the reserve.<\/p>\n

There are several documents that describe people who knew Card talking about his abnormal behavior and that Card had been on medication but had stopped taking it.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, AbleChild could find no mention of Card\u2019s mental health diagnosis nor of the treatment plan laid out to him when he was escorted to the Four Winds Psychiatric Hospital in New York under orders from his Army command. C\u2019mon! This is important. Why is there not one single piece of mental health information provided? Clearly this is a major part of the investigation \u2013 what was happening with Card mentally just prior to the shooting.<\/p>\n

It is completely unacceptable that investigators failed, in their search warrants, to request collecting evidence about card medications. Yet, AbleChild has reviewed the search warrants of Card\u2019s home and cannot find a single request for such information. Why? Is this the AG\u2019s effort to protect the military from responsibility? Or maybe the mental health community misdiagnosed Card at Four Winds Hospital.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Commissioner of Public Health, Michael Sauschuck<\/a>, early on explained that the State Police transported Card<\/a> from the Military Barracks to Four Winds Psychiatric Hospital.<\/p>\n

The narrative just doesn\u2019t match up with the newly released documents. During the Commissioner\u2019s press conference, Sauschuck went to great lengths to describe the different types of psychiatric evaluations and commitment processes and then implied that Maine police transported Card to Four Winds Psychiatric Hospital, and further implied that Card volunteered for treatment and, therefore, the records were not easy to obtain.<\/p>\n

Sauschuck then said, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cwhen you talk about motive here right, I think clearly there is a mental health component to this, we still need to do research, trying to access records and things to that nature, as you can imagine is not that simple as calling someone and saying can you send me this thing, but what I would say is based on what I heard through conversations this morning I don\u2019t see, or I am told, we don\u2019t have access to any forcibly committed for treatment information referenced to Mr. Card., Ok, so you volunteer as an example to go to a facility to seek treatment for months on end, but if you are not forcibly committed to seek that treatment and it is very specific to \u201ctreatment\u201d right, not forcibly taken for an evaluation. An evaluation is completely different than treatment.\u201d<\/strong> Reference: Press Conference Audio 28:05-31:00 discussing the affidavits relating to search warrants, etc.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Actually, yes, that is exactly what investigators should have done in the search warrant request. Ask for mental health records, including medications. The following files reveal that Card was diagnosed with a mental illness and was prescribed medication. Why are specifics of that treatment and drug regimen being withheld?<\/p>\n

Narratives File \u2013 Pg. 2, 16, 277,302-309, 396. Search Warrants file \u2013 Pg. 70, 128, 129, 147 and Crime Lab file \u2013 Pg. 23.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fact that AbleChild could find no information provided about the investigator\u2019s efforts to obtain Card\u2019s mental health records suggests either a sloppy investigation or deliberate withholding of information. If the latter, then the public may well suspect a cover up. Is that what Maine Governor Mills wants from this costly investigation?<\/p>\n
