In the meantime, if you would like to view the photograph I am happy to arrange a time for you to do so. I have not reviewed a copy of the ANU report that you mention below. Is this something that you can send to me so I can review the information contained within? Thanks, Carla Carla Mahnke, Ed.D.

Cynthia Jewett < I find this very surprising and concerning, given the nature of the source. Are you reopening an investigation because of a Buzzfeed article? Did the new alleged witnesses contact ASU directly with an independent complaint or to offer new information to you? Is there justification for reopening an investigation without a new complaint or offer of information? Is your office planning to scour the intemet in search of claims about me or anyone else at ASU in order to initiate investigations? Following on these questions, and depending on your response to them, I should add that, as I believe you are aware, ANU carried out their own independent investigation under the leadership of Dean Kiaran Kirk. Over a period of one month, they contacted the alleged witness or witnesses and the organizers of the meeting, and uncovered inconsistencies in the emerging narrative that emerged, and after this investigation they too dismissed the allegation as unsubstantiated. This was not mentioned in the Buzzfeed article, in spite of the fact that they were aware of it, but I did send the report to Cynthia Jewett at ASU, cc'd here. I would assume that this would not only impact on the credibility of claimed witnesses, but I would also suggest that Dean Kirk and his team are at least as equally credible as sources of information as Buzzfeed. I appreciate your attention to these questions. My concerns about this procedure are significant. Lawrence EFTA00865201

I would also like to inform you that my office is re-opening the investigation that I conducted last year given new information disclosed in a recent news article. This article provided the names of two new eyewitnesses, Michael Marshall and Jo Alabaster, who reported observing the alleged behavior/conduct at the 2016 Australian Skeptics Convention.
