NARRATIVE/ELEMENTS:

During the course of this investigation, I spoke with Loralie Musolf several times over the phone in reference to this
case. During our conversations, we attempted to pinpoint when the interview with Trish Van Pilsum of Fox9
occurred. Musolf advised me that she had requested her phone records from Verizon Wireless to attempt to pin
down the date. She faxed her phone records to me from the Meeker County Sheriff’s Office on 11/19/15. I also
completed a subpoena for Verizon Wireless for Musolf’s phone records as well. Based on the records and our
conversations, it is believed that the Rucki girls had contacted Musolf on Sunday 4/21/13 to attempt to set up the
interview. The interview then took place on 4/22/13. Samantha and Gianna were interviewed in Sauk Center at a
hotel, and Musolf was there with Van Pilsum. After the interview was completed, Van Pilsum and Musolf went to St.
Cloud to interview Sandra Grazzini-Rucki. Grazzini-Rucki was accompanied to her interview by Deirdre Evavold.

In addition to the phone records, Musolf also sent me an email on 11/6/15 containing an audio file of gun shots. The
audio file had been sent to her on 4/23/13 by Michael Rhedin, with a note that they had been directed towards
Sandra Grazzini-Rucki and the Rucki children, and that it sounded like a terroristic threat. Musolf indicated to me in
her email that she believed Rhedin may have been responsible for creating the audio file. I compared the audio file
to the gunshots heard in the Fox9 news story and found that they appeared to be the same. On 4/7/16, I spoke with
Musolf again over the phone regarding this investigation. I asked her about the gun shot audio, and she advised me
that she had provided it to Fox9 news. She stated again that she believed that Michael Rhedin could have been
responsible for making the audio, but she did not know that for certain, and she had not been told that. Musolf said
that it was a suspicion that she had. She also said that she had been told that Michael’s youngest son had been a
messenger to Samantha and Gianna after 9/7/12, when Sandra was ordered to leave the Ireland Place residence.
Michael’s son would pass messages to Samantha and Gianna at school. It should be noted that a prepaid cell
phone was located in Samantha’s backpack with text messages sent to Michael Rhedin’s cell phone. Neither
Tammy Love or Nancy Olson knew of Samantha or Gianna having a cell phone on 4/19/13. The conversation with
Musolf was recorded and saved to case file.

A preservation request was drafted and sent to Yahoo! for Gina Dahlen’s Yahoo! email account with the email
address of ginasjilly@yahoo.com. An additional preservation request was drafted and sent to Microsoft for Deirdre
Evavold’s Hotmail account with the email address of dedeevavold@hotmail.com. I drafted search warrants for both
accounts requesting all information and email content from September 7th, 2012 to the present date. Both warrants
were signed by the Honorable Judge Carter on 12/9/15. The warrants were then sent to Yahoo! and Microsoft.

On 1/11/16, I received a CD sent via FedEx from Yahoo! containing the information from Gina Dahlen’s account.
Upon receiving the CD, I began to review her emails. There were several items of note, which are summarized as
follows:
 4/18/13: Gina Dahlen sends an email to a weigh in group advising she cannot do weigh ins on
Monday 4/22/13 because she needed to go to Minneapolis. It is believed that Samantha and Gianna
Rucki were interviewed by Fox9 in Sauk Center on 4/22/13, and had been brought there by the
Dahlens.
 4/24/13: Gina receives an email from Evavold with an attachment for grants with deadlines. It should
be noted that there did not appear to be any email communication between Evavold and Gina Dahlen
prior to this email.

and Doug still had “the girls”. Gina replied that they still had them and are doing good.

the legal system has affected their lives. Gina replies that they are on it.

and “Theresa”. In the string of emails Theresa asks Gina to say howdy to the girls for her, and also in
another part of the email that she is going to bring the girls Spanish rice.

regarding Michelle MacDonald’s lawsuit against Judge Knutson.
 6/23/15: Gina receives an email from Evavold containing Michael Brodkorb’s blog regarding Sandra
being delinquent with child support. The story clearly states that Samantha and Gianna are missing
persons and that Sandra is a person of interest in the case.
 8/19/15: Gina receives an email from Evavold containing the “Red Herring Alert” post regarding a
warrant being issued for Sandra’s arrest
 11/18/15: Gina and Doug receive an email from “Lion News” offering assistance with their case

review a potential blog post for the Red Herring Alert
 11/29/15: Gina emails Michelle MacDonald, thanking her for her assistance with attempting to file a
petition to get custody of Samantha and Gianna
 12/5/15: Gina receives a forwarded email from Sharon Henneman. Henneman appears to be a
board member of the White Horse Ranch. Henneman forwarded Gina an email exchange between
her and Brandon Stahl of the Star Tribune. In his questions, Stahl indicates that Henneman had said
that the girls had stopped going to church, and that they were more cautious when the grocery bags
with their pictures were released. He also indicated that he had been told by Henneman that the girls
would run to a different room when someone knocked on the door.

The relevant emails were scanned in to be added to the case file. Based upon the content of the emails, it would
appear that Doug and Gina Dahlen were aware that Samantha and Gianna Rucki were listed as missing persons
being sought by law enforcement.

On 2/5/16, I received two emails from Microsoft with instructions on how to download and access the information

Dahlen’s Yahoo! email account and Deirdre Evavold’s Hotmail account containing all the emails received will be
loaded onto drives to be placed into evidence.

On 11/30/15, a court hearing was held to determine custodial arrangements for Samantha and Gianna Rucki. It was
determined at that hearing to release Samantha and Gianna to care of their father, David Rucki. David had made
arrangements for the girls to go to a therapy program in California. Detective Coughlin responded to the court house
and brought Samantha and Gianna to the Minneapolis St. Paul airport, where they were met by Thomas Rucke and
a representative from the Wetterling Foundation. They flew to California to begin reunification therapy, and were
joined later by their siblings and David. After a few weeks in therapy in California, they then visited relatives in
Arizona, and then returned home to Ireland Place shortly before Christmas. At this time, both Samantha and Gianna
are living with David and their younger siblings, and are attending school again.
