Although two people have pleaded guilty to charges relating to the death of a little girl, the book is not yet closed on the case. One detective involved in the investigation was transferred for his false statements regarding the case, and an internal investigation is continuing.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, major crimes investigator Ralph Losasso will be transferred out of that unit. Losasso was either mistaken or lying when he swore that one of the suspects, Hanif Sims, confessed to possibly letting his daughter die.

A missing tape was found a few months later, proving that Sims hadn’t spoken that confession.

Losasso and a supervisor, Sgt. Robert Jaworski, were both present for the interview with Sims, and both testified to a false version of what was said. If they were mistaken or deliberately lying remains unknown.

The sheriff, Terry Maketa, has ordered a review of supervisors in the major crimes unit and an audit of the unit’s major cases. All 400 sworn employees will also be given a refresher course on evidence processing.

Maketa said that there’s no reason to believe Losasso or Jaworski were deliberately engaged in deception.

The Sheriff’s Office says the decision to transfer Losasso to patrol was made in consideration of his involvement with two other cases involving missing audio recordings. Still, the sheriff was careful to point out that Losasso was also involved in many successful investigations.

The transfer will not impact Losasso’s income or benefits, and a decision of official discipline will depend on the results of an ongoing internal-affairs investigation.

Jaworski was not transferred because he has no such blemishes on his record. The sheriff can, however, decide on discipline based on the results of the internal investigation.

Both Sims and his girlfriend, Monique Lynch, were originally charged with murdering 7-year-old Genesis. They both accepted plea deals for lesser charges.
