Why can’t I get justice for headstone scandal?

Shortly after my wife passed away, a man came to my house representing a monument company from Chattanooga to sell me a headstone for my wife Linda Whaley’s grave. I conferred with him and subsequently I ordered the headstone and paid in full $1,732.71 on March 5, 2003. They took my money, but the headstone was not delivered. All requests to secure the stone or a refund of my money was ignored. Now I want justice.

I then contacted the district attorney general’s office. I was ignored for some time, but after repeated tries I finally was directed to the district attorney’s investigator. He asked for documentation which I provided and of course then nothing happened. No calls. No letters. Nothing.

After many attempts I was able to contact the investigator and he gave me nothing but the run-around. Eventually he said he talked to the man who came over and took my money and he knows they did not deliver the headstone but someone else was responsible, not him. Since that time nothing has been done. I have never received a written or verbal statement from the district attorney general.

Since the district attorney can’t answer his telephone, perhaps he can read this letter and offer some explanation to why he does not want to do his job.
