Communications

From: Deb Miller Landau

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

I am looking for the arrest record for Phillip Anthony Harwood, who was arrested in April 1998 for the murder of Lita McClinton Sullivan. He was interviewed by GBI Special Agent John Lang when they arrested him in North Carolina. It was video and audio taped. I'm looking for that interview in any format (audio, video, transcript).

I am also looking for any and all investigative files related to Mr. Harwood.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Deb Miller Landau

This case file will need to be ordered from our offsite Archives facility. The fee to order a case file is $35.00. I need your agreement to pay before I order the file.

Once the case file arrives, I will send you an estimate of the cost to copy and redact the case file. Once I have completed the redaction process, I will send you an invoice including the $35.00 fee. I cannot give you an exact amount until I complete the redaction process as our fee is based on "hours spent redacting" at $32.63 an hour. Please respond with your agreement to pay before I begin. Once payment is received, I will mail you a flash drive containing the case file. I will need your mailing address as well.

Our last email below from December 11th : I just left Atlanta and won't be back until January. I'd love to schedule time to come in and look at the files then (I'll know more specific dates hopefully next week). I also have a request in for the case file on Phillip Anthony Harwood. I'm assuming it's the same situation (giant case file). I'll let you know as soon as I have dates settled

Deb,

This case was added to your flash drive. There are 50 pages. It was merged into the James Sullivan case but I have added them again for you here.

Hi Robin,
Thanks so much for this and all your all your help!
I noticed there wasn't an invoice in the envelope. What do I owe you for the copies? Also, if I use any of the photos in the book, is there a correct way to credit the photos? (e.g., "photo courtesy of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation" or the like?).
Thanks!
Deb


From: Georgia Bureau of Investigation

Deb, No need to credit the photos.

Deb,

I have told you on multiple occasions that these records were combined in your Lita Sullvan request as referenced in the two email screenshots below.

I emailed you in January 2023 that this case was added to your Lita Sullivan Flash drive.
I emailed you again in February 2023 that it was added to your flash drive and I attached the records again for you.
