So far I'm extremely disappointed with sheriff Smith. He seems either inept or corrupt.

I would say that you should cut Randy Smith some slack overall and with that Warren Montgomery,the DA. They inherited messes that are not of their doing. For the past 20+ years Jack Strain operated the STPSO as his own personal financial program. There were a lot of cases that had gotten swept under the rug and a lot of impounded cars that simply "disappeared". Montgomery is still in the midst of weeding out his office the remnants of Walter Reed's bunch that operated with relative impugnity for years.

The Krentel situation has more than a few St. Tammanny cops flummoxed. I know a few detectives with the Sheriff's office and one with the coroner ( Preston is an honest man) that think Krentel did it, but he's covered his tracks so well that they can't get any traction.

GingerKittie, I'm wondering, given the work schedules of firemen, was Krentel also in a side gig. A lot of these guy have side jobs.

This guy is a district fire chief and his wife a retired school teacher, yet he has a lot of expensive toys for people that would be considered middle class.
