@devahaz no it's a big record, it stood for almost 30 years

When I read this I went HOLY SHIT HE RAN THE MILE IN 3.42.66, then I read the article and was like oh some guy already ran it in 3:43.13 27 years ago, whatever. Fun fact, prior to this these were the only 8 runs recorded under 3:45. alltime-athletics.com/m_mileok.htm

My name is Lucinda, This is my response to your questions regarding my experience or knowledge of my ex husband, David Brouillette. Before anything else, I want to express my deepest condolences to the victims, their loved ones, and every person whose life has been forever changed by this tragedy. My heart is with all of those who are grieving. For several days, I have watched these events unfold alongside the rest of the country. I have intentionally been careful not to speculate about the incident itself. I was not there, I do not know exactly what happened, and I believe the facts should be determined by investigators and the justice system—not by public opinion. What I can speak to is my own experience. If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes. That belief is not based on speculation, but on my own lived experiences over many years. Throughout our marriage and in the years that followed, I  have feared for a long time that his anger, aggression, and escalating behavior would eventually result in severe, life threatening violence, and I often believed I would be the one on the receiving end of it. I was married to David Brouillette throughout his entire military career. During those years, and for many years after our marriage ended, I experienced a persistent pattern of abuse, intimidation, manipulation, fear, and control. On multiple occasions David’s physical abuse was witnessed by friends and family. The emotional, psychological, and physical scars of those experiences have remained with me long after the marriage ended. One of the most difficult aspects of that relationship was the fear of retaliation. Throughout our marriage and long afterward, I believed that whenever I spoke up, challenged him, or sought help, there would be consequences. That fear influenced countless decisions I made, including when and how I reported what I was experiencing. Even now, I fear speaking the truth of my experiences will lead to retaliation. David often spoke to me about his military intelligence background and the specialized skills he believed it gave him. He frequently portrayed himself as someone who could manipulate people, deceive others, and stay in control of difficult situations. Whether those statements reflected reality or were intended to intimidate me, they contributed to an environment of fear that made it even harder for me to believe I could safely stand up to him. Throughout the years, I brought my concerns to law enforcement, the courts, and the Department of Health and Human Services. I tried to explain what I believed was a long-standing pattern of abuse, intimidation, manipulation, and controlling behavior because I genuinely feared where those behaviors could lead. From my perspective, those warnings did not receive the attention I believed they deserved. Feeling unheard while continuing to fear retaliation was one of the most isolating experiences of my life. The concerns I describe here are not new. They were raised over many years through family court proceedings, reports to law enforcement, and communications with the Department of Health and Human Services. Those proceedings span years and are matters of public record. My purpose in making this statement is not to relitigate those proceedings, but to explain my own experience and why I carried these concerns for so long. For many years, I questioned whether anyone would believe what I had experienced. Seeing others with firsthand knowledge now come forward publicly has been deeply validating. While I cannot speak for anyone else’s experiences, hearing similar accounts has reinforced that I was not alone in what I experienced. This statement is not about speculating on the events currently under investigation or influencing the outcome of any criminal case. It is about sharing my own lived experience and explaining why I carried these concerns for so many years. If there is one thing I hope comes from sharing my experience, it is that patterns of abuse, coercive control, intimidation, and manipulation are recognized and taken seriously before they escalate. I know firsthand how difficult it is to speak up when you fear retaliation or believe no one will listen. If my experience encourages even one person to seek help, or encourages one person, one agency, or one court to take those warning signs more seriously, then sharing my story has served a purpose. I also ask that people remember something very important. David Brouillette is the individual involved in the criminal case that is currently under investigation. I am not. Our children are not. My family is not. We did not choose this situation, and we should not be judged, threatened, harassed, or defined by someone else’s alleged actions. My children deserve the opportunity to grow up without carrying the weight of circumstances they did not create. My family deserves privacy, compassion, and the chance to move forward without fear. My thoughts remain with the victims, their loved ones, and every family whose lives have been forever changed by these events. I hope the investigation uncovers the truth, justice is served through the legal process, and healing can begin for everyone affected.

NEW: A second ex-wife of David Brouillette, the ICE agent who killed Joan Durán Guerrero in Maine, Lucinda Brouillette, issued a statement this morning. In it she says "If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes." "Throughout the years, I brought my concerns to law enforcement, the courts, and the Department of Health and Human Services. I tried to explain what I believed was a long-standing pattern of abuse, intimidation, manipulation, and controlling behavior because I genuinely feared where those behaviors could lead. From my perspective, those warnings did not receive the attention I believed they deserved." NPR reported on a court filing from Lucinda where she accused him of being physically aggressive with their then 13-year-old daughter. Below is her statement in full:

@GusSaltonstall @carlfranzen What does it mean?? 🥺😭

The abuse the ex wife of the Maine ICE agent details in NPR interview is horrifying, including a 2022 police report of throwing his 13 year old daughter through a coffee table, a voice mail from last year saying her throat should be cut, and pulling a gun on her in the shower. She questions if ICE runs even a basic background check on recruits.

If I keep refreshing airnow dot gov we will get to the yellow zone sooner I think

Alexander Smirnov says hi

No way to really summarize this story, just gotta read it in full. According to the message she shared with AP, he repeatedly called her “disgusting” and suggested that she and the other women and girls in her “bloodline” should die. “And all of you should have your f——--g throats cut,” the voicemail said. “Yeah, you should. Am I threatening that I’m gonna do that? Nope. Nope. But do I think that you should have your f——-g throats cuts? Or should have had them cut? Yep.”

The Portland Press Herald has identified the ICE agent who fatally shot Joan Sebastian Guerrero as David Brouillete. Brouillette, 37, was identified by an ex-wife, who said he called her and asked her to lie on his behalf pressherald.com/2026/07/16/ice…

@Taibaah321 Ugh that’s the worst

@JSweetLI Suffering from a migraine for two days now.

Am I just extra sensitive or does anyone else get an instant headache in this air

Houston-area prosecutors now tell CNN they believe the substances in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's van **were not drugs,** in contrast to a claim the FBI made in court documents. cnn.com/2026/07/15/us/…

@alexbronzini Until it gives you an instant headache and brain damage 😭😭

It’s obviously bad but I kinda like the wildfire smell in New York City rn. It’s this very pleasant pine scent, like a campfire

We can’t go outside we can’t eat salad and now we can’t sing Wonderwall what do we have left

@LJS527 🥺

Spain again! 2-0. France are in deep deep trouble.

It's still a secret who murdered a pair of fathers in the street this week. In a free country feels like we should at least get to know what government agent is killing our neighbors. @NickMiroff has the bare details. theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

@MikeIsaac That was my order until someone turned me on to grilled cheese burritos
