Subsequent Record Sequence
Following the April 2017 meeting, Dr. Myria Petrou and Dr. Bradley Foerster played the recording for Dr. Paul Cronin and Dr. Aine Kelly.
Detective Bradley Rougeau's investigative report subsequently documents Maria Petrou's request to drop the case, while noting that other aspects of the investigation remained active.
The report also records allegations from an unidentified caller identifying himself as “Nick,” who claimed to work with Dr. Cronin and alleged that Dr. Petrou and Dr. Foerster were extorting Dr. Cronin for money and legal fees.
In subsequent sworn deposition testimony , Dr. Paul Cronin denied having a friend named “Nick” and denied recognizing the voice attributed to “Nick” in recordings.
On June 28, 2017, Detective Rougeau recorded that attorney Jim Reach, representing Maria and Petros Petrou, advised that the couple was again interested in prosecution.
