His supervisor is Detective Joanne Culver.
Throughout Baby Reindeer[]
Donny went to the police station to make a report about Martha Scott. The police officer, Officer Daniels, did not feel that Donny was at risk and none of Martha's emails were threatening. Officer Daniels questioned why Donny took so long to report Martha.[1]
After Donny finally revealed Martha's identity, Officer Daniels referred the case to Detective Joanne Culver, as Martha had a criminal history and she had previously stalked and threatened a police officer. Joanne interviewed Donny and asked him to send her evidence, as there was little that the police could do without it.[2]
Donny decided to take matters into his own hands by coercing Martha into writing him a sexually aggressive email, in hopes of them using the email as evidence to send to the police. However, unbeknownst to Donny, Martha always wore a recording device. Martha sent Donny's voice recordings and email to the police.
Detective Joanne Culver no longer wanted to deal with either Martha or Donny, and simply asked that they stop communicating.[3]
Donny went to the police station to make another report, as Martha flooded Donny's phone with phone calls and voicemails. Officer Daniels informed Donny that there was little he could do about calls from unknown numbers. He advised off-the-record that Donny could continue using this phone number, hoping to receive a threatening message that could be used in evidence.[4]
