Case Filings
November 8, 2001

Contact: Lynn Kimbrough, 720-913-9025

Charges have been filed today in three cases of note:

Anthony Carcel (DOB: 6-21-65) is charged with first degree murder (F1) in connection with the death of 26-year-old Deneane Gray. Gray's body was found November 1, 2001 in an apartment she shared with Carcel. She had not been seen since October 21, 2001. Carcel was arrested on November 2, 2001 after a brief foot chase with Denver Police officers and is being held in the Denver County Jail without bond.

Karen Kelly (DOB: 10-24-67) and Josh Plank (DOB: 5-9-83) are charge with theft (F4) in connection with a stolen Mobrella cockatoo. The owner, a man from California, had brought several birds to a bird show at the Lakeside Mall on November 4, 2001. The cockatoo, valued at $2,000, was stolen from his truck sometime that night outside his motel room at I-70 and Federal Boulevard. Denver police later arrested a vendor from the bird show and an employee of the victim. The bird was returned to the owner.

Shawn Ragland (DOB: 4-30-79) is charged with two counts of aggravated robbery (F3) in connection with the robbery of an adult video store and a gas station on September 16, 2001. Ragland, dubbed the "Sorry Phone Bandit," is already facing five other aggravated robbery charges in a series of similar cases this fall.
