New questions arise on hiring investigator

Rocky Mountain News - Denver and Colorado's reliable source for breaking news, sports and entertainment: Local: "Jefferson County officials' motives for hiring a private investigator are made murkier by his invoices showing he compiled information the county already had on hand.

The investigation, now the subject of a Colorado Bureau of Investigation inquiry, was conducted by private detective Daril Cinquanta, a close friend of County Commissioner Jim Congrove.

Among other things, the county hired Cin-quanta to look into the past of Mike Zinna, a frequent critic of county government who sued Congrove, other county officials and county employees, claiming they violated his constitutional rights .

Zinna's case remains active in U.S. District Court in Denver."
