Re: Homicide of Jada Denita Lambert

Dear Mr. Kenny

The detective in the Homicide Section have done a search of the archives. The 1998 homicide file for 984E00295 could not be located. The Custodian of Records for the Homicide Section can to provide the Lotus Notes (electronic file with progress reports, recap and case synopsis). The Custodian of Records for Central Records can provide the Offense report for 984E00295. I will ask Custodian of Records for the Laboratory Section to provide any available Laboratory reports. The available records consist of approximately 50-100 pages.

The normal cost of reproducing a criminal investigation records this size is $40.00. The normal time expended on file this size for a MPIA request for research, location, correspondence, and preparation of documents by the investigation unit for records that are considered public records is between 2-3 hours. The review for the protection and removal of documents in the files not considered public records by law or exception by the legal staff estimated at 1-2 hours and is in addition to the cost of the documents. Staff billable time is $50.00 per hour. These are normal charges allowed by law. These are the cost to the taxpayers associated with processing your MPIA request. The Baltimore Police Department estimates the total staff time to be 3 hours at $ 50.00 per hour. The first two hour to process this request will not be billed. Staff time is $ $50.00 and the case file is $40.00, total fees $90.00.

If you would like a copy of the available documents remit a check or money order in the amount of $90.00 payable to the Director of Finance; mail the payment to the Baltimore Police Department's Office Legal Affairs, 100 N Holiday St., Room 100, Baltimore, Md. 21202 If this office does not receive payment within thirty days of the date of this letter, this file will be closed. Please refer to tracking # MPIA 15 663 in any subsequent correspondence in this matter.
