On September 12th, 2009, I awoke to 8 week old identical twin boys in my bed... one was screaming & the other (Blake) was dead.  Below is the letter I sent to the DA (William Fitzpatrick) already, to which I received a response that the DA's office was going to investigate the case once again, due to my letter of my sincere doubt in reference to my son's death. That was almost a month ago and I didn't hear anything as of today - so I emailed them again.  I received a phone call, which I unfortunely missed & then quickly following was an email from the DA's investigator... she claimed that they had reviewed all the documentation and reports & also spoken to the detectives who originally investigated my sons death. I never got a phone call asking me questions, I know they never asked Brennen any questions... I want this case investigated to the fullest... Brennen and I need to be requestioned, the entire case ripped apart, because something is NOT right.  Babies dont go back to sleep when they were 6 weeks premature & starving at 8 weeks old & even more so --- you dont make drunken confessions that are not true... please help me make Brennen either pay for the intentional death of my son, Blake or at least rest assured that everyone did everything that they possibly could to ensure me that Blake's death was inevitable,  by the hands of God -- not the hands of the  man who was supposed to love and cherish him. 

Mr. Fitzpatrick,

I am writing this because I have read the book, The Death of Innocents and you seemed very concerned in reference to infants not dying of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). My 8 week old son died on /12/09 and although his death was ruled as SIDS, I know that his father had something to do with his death. Here is some background to the story.
Brennen Thomson wasn’t around the entire pregnancy and in fact had another whole family aside from me and the twins I was pregnant with. In fact, aside from her already having a child with him, she was also pregnant with his child due to be born two months after my boys. Not an ideal situation, but it was what it was. When my twins were born, all of a sudden Brennen wanted to be a part of their lives. The twins were born premature and they spent almost four weeks in the NICU at St. Joseph’s Hospital. They came home on breathing machines to ensure the bouts of apnea and Bradycardia were getting better. The boys ( Ethan and Blake) were taken off their monitors on Sept. 1, 2009 and given a clean bill of pulmonary heath. I worked overnights, and with the boys off their monitors, I went back to work at Berry Plastics from 7 PM to 7 Am on Sept. 9, 2009. I worked with Brennen, the same shift & the same days of the week, so we would ride to and from work together and those two days back to work, he stayed at my house. Aside from Ethan and Blake, I had a 5 year old who went to school and a four year old who would be home with me all day long, so to say I didn’t get much sleep during the day on 9/10/09 is a vast understatement. 
The morning of 9/11/09 I was exhausted, but being a mother is a priority to sleep and I didn’t go to sleep at all that day. I am not sure to be honest of Brennen slept at all that day, but that night he seemed more awake than I. That night after I had laid the twins in their own separate cribs as I did every night, I plugged in the monitor and headed out to the front porch to chat with my neighbor, who also happened to be my very good friend. I had one drink and then decided to call it a night as I was extremely tired from the lack of sleep the prior two days. Brennen decided to stay outside with the other neighbor, who was also a chronic drug user and alcoholic. A few days after Blake’s death, I learned what actually transpired that night was the neighbor and Brennen were using drugs in my back yard, but that will be later in the story. 
According to Brennen, while I was asleep, Ethan and Blake woke up for bottles. He couldn’t find the new formula which we had purchased earlier that day, but was still in the trunk of the car, so he made a bottle for Ethan & gave Blake his binky. Also according to Brennen he woke me up to ask me what to do with the twins & I told him to put them in bed with us. Why this is odd is that I have never slept with any of my children. Also, where was Blake while he fed Ethan? That part of the story has never been answered, but somehow both boys ended up in my bed. Ethan next to me, and Blake up against Brennen’s back when I found him at around 3 in the morning. Supposedly, Blake was satisfied with his binky even though I had last fed him around ten pm that night and he was a hungry 8 week old used to eating every two to three hours, regardless of day or night. I did try to tell the investigators that Brennen admitted to using drugs that night, but they said that it couldn’t be proven, there for it was irrelevant. 
When Brennen found out the twins had been born, and that I had named then Blake and Ethan, he was very angry. He is an avid SU Basketball fan and I guess the team that defeated them that year had a player named Blake. He told me I had ruined Blake for him forever and he would never feel the same about him as he did about Ethan and his other son. So, this is the reason I find it odd that he laid Blake next to him & not next to me… but this makes perfect sense that Ethan was the one that got fed & not Blake. When I woke up around three in the morning when Ethan was crying to be fed, Brennen was on his left side almost falling off of the bed & Blake was laying on his right side up against Brennen’s back with dried blood on his face under his nose, not breathing. After I ran to the neighbors to call the police, and Brenned tried to do CPR on Blake, he kept saying that there was no blood on his shirt, so he couldn’t have rolled over on Blake… could he? When they left to take my son to the hospital, no one even tried to get me to go and I guess the questioning of Brennen began before they even came and told me there was no chance they could revive my baby. 
In the days following Blake’s death, Brennen made comments that didn’t sit well such as how easy it was with only one baby, and how he wouldn’t have to pay double the child support now. I also found out that he was using drugs and not only just in general, but the night that Blake died. I asked him to leave my house and informed the investigators and Child Protective worker about what I had learned. I wanted to know what happened to my child. On more than one occasion, Brennen has made confessions of killing Blake while drunk --- as soon as I would want him to elaborate, he would retract his statement and say that it is was his fault as he had put him in the bed. What if he had rolled over on him and such things like that. If he hadn’t put him in the bed, he would still be alive. 
There is more to the story, and I know I sound like a mother grasping at straws, but I cant sleep at night, I feel guilt for being asleep when my sons needed me and potentially allowed a monster to care for only the one he liked and possibly snuffing the life out of the one he didn’t. My heart hurts every single day and I just want to know every avenue was travelled. I know he didn’t die of SIDS & Brennen did something to that baby. I know he did, and I just need help proving it. 
Please help me with either someone who can look into this more, or something that I can do to make sure that everything has been done in this case to make sure my son was not murdered. 

Thank you very much for your time,
