I-TEAM INVESTIGATION | In a harsh email sent this past May, the Baker County Sheriff’s Office found the staff at the Northeast Florida State Hospital, or NEFSH, reported crimes late and destroyed or altered evidence in criminal investigations.
The News4JAX I-TEAM has obtained a copy of the email and confirmed with the Baker County Sheriff’s Office that it was sent from a detective to employees at the Department of Children and Families, which runs the hospital.Detectives said they were infuriated with what they discovered at NEFSH. So much so, the sheriff’s office told the hospital to report crimes to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement — not the sheriff’s office.
The email goes on to say, if they are called to an incident and the crime scene has been cleaned up, refer NEFSH staff to FDLE. We’ve covered two cases at the hospital where things described in the email allegedly happened: Markeith Lloyd in 2020 and Mark Stone in 2021. They were both forensic patients, meaning they were sent to NEFSH accused of committing crimes but were deemed unfit to stand trial. Both men are accused of attacking another patient at the hospital — one victim died from their injuries, and the family of the other victim also said their injuries caused their death.
