Newport News police records for Jesse Matthew

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to Virginia Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Any police reports, dated between August 1 2003 and November 1 2003, which involve a Christopher Newport University student named JESSE LEROY MATTHEW (Date of birth: 12/14/1981).

Please expedite the processing of this request, as MATTHEW was recently named a person of interest in an ongoing missing-person investigation in Charlottesville, Virginia. Please assess any applicable fees for expedited processing, if necessary.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

J.K. Trotter
