Allegations contained in a federal Deprivation of Rights lawsuit suggest Lt. Detective Rodney Hajicek with the East Grand Forks Police Department is not a credible source of news and information in the Jenna Stai missing person case.

On Wednesday, the Grand Forks Herald reported that Hajciek disputes recent news articles that suggest there are similarities between the Jenna Stai missing person case and Andrew Sadek homicide.

Valley News Live reported that Stai’s mother was concerned for Jenna. “Jenna’s mother says Jenna has been cooperating with authorities and she’s terrified,” Valley News reported.

Hajicek responded to the Valley News article by telling The Herald that Jenna Stai was not an informant for the Pine to Prairie Gang and Drug Task Force.

However, there are growing public concerns regarding Hajicek, Police Chief Michael Hedlund, and several officers with the East Grand Forks Police Department.

Hajicek, Hedlund, and Aeisso Schrage, are all defendants in a federal civil rights lawsuit filed against the City of East Grand Forks – Holmseth v. City of East Grand Forks et al.

Schrage is the EGFPD’s agent on the Pine to Prairie Gang and Drug Task Force.

According to the Complaint filed in United States District Court, the EGFPD is corrupt at every level, and capable of anything to protect the local criminal enterprise that is best known for the loan-fraud money-laundering scheme surrounding Boardwalk Enterprises.

Hajicek’s performance as a detective is considered indefensible to many. 

In 2009, the FBI in Florida was searching for the missing child HaLeigh Ann-Marie Cummings; there was an Amber Alert for the five year-old and the story dominated the national news.

In the summer of 2009, the FBI was acting on information they were receiving directly from Timothy Charles Holmseth, an award-winning journalist residing in East Grand Forks that was actively interviewing the kidnapping suspects in real time as they moved the child from location to location.

The individuals Holmseth was interviewing also had detailed information about the death of Caylee Marie Anthony, the murdered child of Casey Anthony. The individuals were also business partners with the infamous Fort Lauderdale Ponzi schemer, Scott W. Rothstein, who is now serving a 50 year federal prison sentence.

Police records show that at the exact same time Holmseth was assisting the FBI, the kidnapping suspects were contacting Hajicek at the EGFPD and asking him to use the police department to shut Holmseth’s publication down.  

Police records show that Hajicek, along with EGF City Attorney Ronald Galstad, subsequently spent years plotting against Holmseth, while communicating and coordinating  with Mafia associates in Florida that were holding meetings to discuss assassinating Holmseth.

Records show that the EGFPD and City of EGF employees deleted files; shredded documents; destroyed and hid evidence; manipulated and altered police records; and intimidated witnesses.
