Family of dead drug informant asks for federal investigation
Source: yahoo news
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Attorneys for the family of a North Dakota college student who was a confidential informant for a drug task force before he turned up dead said Friday that they're not getting information from authorities and want a federal investigation.
It's been nearly two years since the body of 20-year-old Andrew Sadek was found in the Red River, which separates North Dakota from Minnesota, not far from where he attended the North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton. An autopsy concluded Sadek died of a gunshot wound and had no drugs or alcohol in his system. It's unclear how his body ended up in the river, and no gun was found.
Family members don't believe Sadek killed himself and are frustrated about the investigation, which is now in the hands of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. An attorney for the Sadeks, Lance Block, said the BCA has virtually cut off communication with Sadek's parents, John and Tammy. They want a federal investigation.
"The Minnesota agency has not been able to come up with any answers," Block said. "There has been no effort to update the family and frankly they've lost confidence in the integrity of the investigation. They need to know the truth about how their son died."
