Crim (DOJ) Files

On 10-2-81, V Metcalf came to the S/O about feeling uncomfortable about Tina and Joel Lipsey. She'd been working on an article about Spec Ed, and saw a pic of Tina on the wall behind his desk. She asked if it was Tina, and he became very angry, and "didn't want to talk about it, and not to even ask". Later, she bumped into him in the hallway and tried to apologize if anything she'd said had unintentionally angered him. He again became mad and said he didn't wish to discuss it. She found his behavior unreasonable and worth reporting. She came back later the same day leaving an additional message with Shanks that Joel also said he was single, lives alone, and has no use for women. As part of her article, she'd asked how he relaxed after work, and he said the drive home helped, plus a couple glasses of wine and other things. "Other things" included 'marijuana and other stuff' Don had told her that Crimely had recently interviewed Joel, and he may have been upset about the photo because they'd also asked.
