Investigative Integrity, or Not: Firefly

Donna Diorio
November 7 2025 All police detectives bring their own integrity into the investigation. We've known for years that there are some police detectives who bring their own prejudices into their investigations. This has been true many times when a racial prejudice made the detective look no further than the suspect whose color had more impact on the detective than other potential suspects. That doesn't mean ALL police have a racial prejudice, but it does mean some do.

Along the same lines a former police detective that now works in a specialty detective niche investigating sex abuse accusations, has a great potential to just believe the accuser. That was built in to the Firefly "investigation" which did not do much more than interview accusers.

In fact, most of you apparently have not read the final Firefly report because if you had you would see that it is a MYTH that there were "17 victims" of Mike Bickle.

Even those who commissioned the Firefly investigation have admitted to me privately "All of the accounts of Mike’s abuse in the report are superficial and to what one would have expected by the media onslaught. Rubbing a girls' shoulder, neck, complimenting, one case of caressing wife of Dwane Robert’s leg. That is it. Look at the actual testimony of those who claim abuse of what was actually done. Look closer."

What my friend does not get is that people NEVER DID LOOK CLOSELY at firefly, they looked only to the influencers and key people who were prosecuting Mike on Social Media, with the help of Cancel Culture followers on standby to shut anyone down who tried to say anything different. That's a Kangaroo Court and not what DISCIPLES of JESUS are supposed to give credence to.

SO YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF: If Jim Hollar, the Firefly investigator is soooo good, and so full of integrity, why did his report put forth accuser claims that did not amount to any reasonable definition of sexually abusive conduct?

I'll tell you why. It should come as such a great surprise that a detective's own prejudiced viewpoints will impact his or her investigation. That is exactly why Hollar saw fit to include the sensationalistic, over-dramatic claim of "17 accusers" of Mike Bickle - because, you see, he is part of the cottage industry of weaponized sex abuse accusation "experts" called on by the lawyers, the therapists, the book writers, the ministers who make their living off of overblown sex abuse accusations.

If you have any integrity, any commitment to the truth, you have to acknowledge that is a true fact of the matter.

What a few of us have been doing for just a few months now, is trying to forensically investigate this case of a lynch mob going after Mike Bickle and IHOP in an carefully schemed plot to accuse him will a killer blow he could never recover from so all the spoils of IHOP would be dropped into their hands by lawsuit.

When I say forensically, I mean it is like a "cold case" where detectives have to go back in time and re-examine what took place both in the actual events leading up to a murder, and where the original detectives FAILED to identify accurately what and why it all happened. That is no so easy when people who know are scared spitless to talk about what they know.

Two years have passed and many who know things are finding the courage to come forward and tell what they know. This is good, and we appreciate the whistleblowers who are speaking up and even correcting us when we have wrongly connected the dots - like I did last week in my timeline. Here's what I want you to know about that.

My integrity is important to me. When I have gotten it wrong, I am going to correct it and tell you that I have updated what I wrote. I am GLAD people are stepping forward to correct the record. But I will have to tell you something else, every detective with personal integrity would do the same.

Firefly did not give that notice when they put out their final report, because they hoped you would just believe that telling someone she could be the next Misty Edwards vocally could be equated with "grooming" for sexual abuse motives. Or, that giving someone a neck rub in a room full of people was also reasonable to claim was "grooming" for sexual abuse motives.

You might believe that but only if you are like Gracia who accused three leaders of IHOP of not handling her "r@pe" accusation correctly in the Firefly report. She never tried to hang her boyfriend for the regret sex they had, by the way, but she did finger point at a woman who was nothing but kind to her when she came to make her complaint. That woman gave a affidavit to an investigator before Firefly was crammed down the throats of IHOP. And we have discovered internal IHOP documentation from 2018 on the incident that she retracted her claim of r@pe at the time. Accuser supporters Jono Hall and AG member Allen Hood both knew about. O Gracia, whose X account bio touts her presence on X to be for the purpose of "dismantling the patriarchy."

There is no way to collect evidence without forming any theories based on the evidence you have collected about who, what, where and why. Every police detective does it because it helps to identify the trails to go down toward more discovery of facts. When a detective of integrity posits a theory of the crime, then new evidence turns up, a detective of integrity doesn't ignore or bury the new evidence, they own it, lean into the new evidence as continue to track the facts wherever they lead.

I'm no police detective, but I am a relentless researcher with the integrity to own it when a portion of my facts fall through. That doesn't mean I am over, a complete failure, it just means I receive the new information and run with it.

And we are GLAD people are reading what we have found and are finding the courage to contact us and tell us things we do not yet know. We are determined to get to the bottom of all this conspiracy because it has ruined the lives of so many. And also because personally I am sick of the body of Christ running toward ministry scandals ready to string up some minister without giving any thought to the reality that accusations will NEVER PROVE GUILT ALONE. You will be judged by the same measure of heart and mind that you gave the accused.
