Re: Media Request of December 19, 2023. Reference #: P060997-121923 Dear Tara Burns: I wanted to reach out and give you an update regarding your request. I spoke to the analysts, and they requested to please give them several weeks as they have to locate and go over every single report. They also have to check with the lead detectives on each case to check if the case is still open or not, and if the report can be released. Again, your patience is greatly appreciated and please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact us at 305-471-1900. Thank you, Miami Dade Police Department Media Unit
