Adrian, When I think about you, I think of the first time I saw you smile.

You were so shy, but sweet. And I loved the way you chose your words so carefully. I wondered what you were filtering out.

What made you tick? What made you laugh? Why would a person want to take on such a challenging role? Now that I know you, I know the answers to those questions. What I did not expect was how knowing you would bring me closer to me. More in line with who I am. How I feel. What I want. Where I want to go.

You woke me up. Like a prince in one of your Disney movies. I hope I always know your kiss.

PubliCola is naming Tompkins because interim police chief sue Rahr identified her by name when she placed both Diaz and Tompkins on leave in October.

In the report, an outside investigator hired by OIG, Shayda Le, quoted multiple SPD employees who told investigators Diaz frequently talked or bragged about having a sexual relationship with Tompkins. Diaz told him had a sex toy, specifically a Rabbit, for when Mr. Diaz was not around. Diaz was talking about sexual activity with [Tompkins]and expressed that he could not keep up with her level of sexual activity.

Diaz showed him looked to be of a woman laying horizontally. SPD staff also described Diaz bragging about his relationship with Tompkins and discussing the logistics of divorcing his wife. The same person also said Diaz talked to Tompkins on the phone while he was driving Diaz around, which Diaz also denied. Le did not consider that explanation credible, she wrote in her report.
