re; Brooks Black case

This is a message to the person who wrote to me on December 29. I don't have e-mail right now because I live so far in the country. I'm waiting for PGE tio come and put poles in so I can have electricity. I'm using a friends computer in the meantime. OK............. yes, what you said about Sarah is true. My sister also sat by Sarah and said the same thing. She had never met Sarah and didn't realize that she was the soon to be ex-wife of Brooks.
Remember she thought she was going to be the recipient of Brook's $250,000 life policy. I just can't get that out of my mind. Along with the poem Brooks wrote referring to "she would get hers when he was high above". There's also the fact that she told one of Brook's friends when he asked if she had seen him "I hope he's dead in a ditch". And don't forget that Sarah also told Brooks that she had connections to people who could kill him. I still have Brook's note that is in his own handwriting. Brooks was clearly concerned about the threat. It's been about four or months since I wrote to the AGs office asking him to look closer at Brook's case. No word yet.

Whoever wrote the Dec. 29 message, please post your name and email address. I would like to talk to you. My temp. e-mail address is wildlife@Phreaker.net (You do have to capitalize the P)

Roberta, I went back and read in more detail the earlier posts, including the "post" that she is supposedly accusing you. None of us knows about any of the other emails the two of you had exchanged so its hard to make an assumption that she is acusing you, the way I read it was that she was wanting to know what happened with a key piece of evidence. Again, I don't know what else has been said.. But, just from what I read on this site (althought, I have read the "Twisted Badge" story)I didn't get that from the email. And just to play devils advocate... I am a writer and I don't think its fair that you had put her real name and info on here, since she is writing under a pseudonym. And issues you have with her identity should probably be taken up with her personally. And again, I do not know the whole story, that is just what I am getting from the limited amout of information on here. And if you didn't hire her how can she be "fired" if the information she is in posession of is public record. I am very sorry for your loss and in no way trying to cause any additional stress, just curious. Thank you, Barb

I'd like to add one thing to the helpful information below: Send your letter CERTIFIED with RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. Otherwise, you'll have no proof that your request was ever received.


Tue Feb 15 17:15:28 PST 2005

When requesting documents/reports under the Freedom of Information Act you have to be very clear what you want. It has to be mailed to the person in charge of Public Information (Certified Mail) There is usually a charge for the copies, but not always.
Sometimes you have to make the request to more than one agency. For example, the coroner should have a copy of the autopsy report, etc., and will require a separate request. In the request specify you are requesting: Every item contained in the file, including, but not limited to all handwritten notes, a complete copy of documents, reports, tape recordings, photos, a copy of all final reports and all drafts & notes, E-mail & Faxes, correspondence letters to other agencies, and any individual connected with the investigation into the death of ___________________ on _______

The sheriff's department will require a separate request as well as the police department.
Check what the procedure is for your state on the Internet

Look in the local phonebook for the correct address to mail the request otherwise your request could be ignored.

The Freedom of Information Act is designed to access information and should be a formal request. Questions and concerns will not be answered. Each state is different, but all states have a time limit by law to provide the requested information to you.

Hope this is helpful

Anyone who has not requested all documents under the Freedom of Information Act should do so. You will be very surprised what you didn't know.


Tue Feb 15 15:00:39 PST 2005

I did not hire her. I never even asked for any royalities. I just wanted to know the truth and closure.


Tue Feb 15 14:30:52 PST 2005

I put the reason on the real crimes site some posts back. Her whole post is there.


Tue Feb 15 14:27:37 PST 2005

Roberta, Was Kat "hired" to write the book?? From your earlier posts it appears as though you had been behind it up until now, what is the problem??


Tue Feb 15 14:22:33 PST 2005

I wish I had this information before I went into the Police Dept again asking for Records on the Heindl brothers Sharon. I will go in again tomorrow and ask for autopsy reports, police reports, photos at the scene and autopsy photos and any written statements that should be part of the police reports. I will ask for all reports from the city, county and state officials. They should have the time that police took custody of my son’s bodies and the time, place and person that they were taken to for the autopsies. They should also tell the time the boy’s bodies were released after autopsies and to whom they were released to and the time my sons bodies arrived at the funeral home or crematorium. Thank you Gregg for helping find justice for Robert and Ben. I know you are there behind your Mom and Dad. May God bless all of you whether in the flesh or spirit!




Tue Feb 15 11:02:29 PST 2005

Roberta, You have to ask for the autopsy reports, police reports, photos at the scene and autopsy photos and any written statements(should be part of the police reports). Make sure to get all reports from the city, county and state officials.

They should have the time that the police took custody of your sons' bodies and the time, place and person that they were taken to for the autopsies. They should also tell the time the boys' bodies were released after autopsies and to whom they were released to and the time your sons' bodies arrived at the funeral home or crematorium. From there you can ask the questions, whether you get any answers is yet to be seen. Once you have these documents then you can get a grasp on what is missing from this puzzle. Those are the legal documents and they won't answer anything just out of the blue.

Hope this helps, Sharon aka Gregg's Mom


Tue Feb 15 09:59:22 PST 2005

Good morning everyone,l
I just got back from the Police Station and would like to share my questions concerning my children with you all. At the Police Station they didn't have information from Ramsey Medical Center so she gave me a photocopy request and I wrote on it what I need is on Freedom of Information act which is stapled with this request. For my safety and well being I am sharing with everyone:
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT.
There are records I am requesting under the freedom of information act!
These are records of what happened to my children on 8/30/1993.
The records I am requesting are from the Coroner Jim Dalbesio-complete records including why he sent my childrens organs to Ramsey Medical Center without my permission. I want to know where he took my childrens bodies and why was Ben’s body taken to Heindl Funeral Home in Prentice for autoposy that I was told was done at Ramsey Hospital. I want to know what happened to them and why they are not in the Hillside Cemetary. I did not request an autoposy for either of my children. Nor did I give permission for Cremating the bodies or have their organs put in someone else!

Next I request all records for Robert Moore and where and when the autoposy was done on him. I want all records for Benjamin’s autoposy and who was present and what was done to his parts and who got them.

I want all information from Donald Gorrie who is Micheal McGee’s boss on both of my children. I request all of Michael McGee’s records on Ben’s autoposy at Heindl Funeral Home.

I want all the records from Private type Tom Bombrock and all Immunogenetics he performed and the blood group records of both my children. http://www.redcross.org/donate/tissue/relgstmt.html#Jehovahs

I want all records from Susan Roe.

All records from Timothy Gould

I want to know why there were no reports on the small blood spot on the right forearm of Robert Moore.

I also want to know why blood like material was on Ben’s Thigh region.

I want to know why none of the parts of my children were sectioned at autoposy.

Last but not least I want to know why there was no final autoposy and why Ramsey Hospital had no records of both boys Robert and Benjamin Moore.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A California funeral director has been charged with 156 counts of embezzlement and interfering with human remains following revelations that he had made US$400,000 in the past year selling body parts from 81 corpses intended for cremation to biotechnology researchers, reports the Sydney Morning Herald. There is no word of charges being laid against the researchers who funded his body snatching.

Michael Francis Brown had been running his Lake Elsinore funeral home for six years when, in February 2000, he started Bio-Tech Anatomical to funnel samples from bodies donated to science to research companies. Almost immediately he began helping himself to the tissue of those who had not consented to dissection, without the knowledge of their bereaved relatives.

Brown's arrest follows revelations of similar practices at the Los Angeles County coroners office and at Sydney's Glebe Morgue. No charges were laid against the government employees involved in these abuses.

A pathologist at the centre of similar scandals at Alder Hey hospital in Liverpool, UK and the WK Grace Health Centre in Halifax, Canada was given 12 months probation by a Nova Scotia court in July, 2001.

The worldwide increase in biological theft is being driven by the huge profits to be made in the highly speculative biotechnology market. Patents for DNA sequences are traded for astronomical sums even when it is far from clear what function these sequences perform.

The biggest players in the biopiracy boom are governments themselves. Increasingly they are moving to protect their markets by prosecuting private biopirates even as they legislate to permit their own theft of citizen's tissues. If Brown had been the director of a state crime laboratory he would have broken no law, as most US states permit the sale of samples from their DNA testing programs for 'research or educational purposes'.

The governments of Iceland and Tonga have already sold the DNA databases of their entire populations to multinationals without the consent of the donors. For Iceland the deal was worth US$200 million for the genetic records of less than 250,000 citizens - over US$800 per profile.

The UK government is currently considering annual auctions as a way of profitting from the medical samples of those using its National Health Service.

The forensic testing laws in most Australian states contain built in loopholes to allow the onsale of DNA samples and profiles to private enterprise. For example, subsection 3(5) of the NSW Crimes (Forensic Procedures) Act redefines 'destroy forensic samples' to mean 'remove the label showing who it came from'. Once deidentified the data and samples are legally considered to have been destroyed and may be freely passed on without penalty.

This kind of 'deidentification' is also the method preferred by the Sydney Red Cross Blood Bank when it passes donated blood onto government and private enterprise without the knowledge of donors. Once deidentified it becomes impossible for the true owner to make a claim against anyone seeking to commercially exploit their biological material.

"As the biotechnology market bubble swells governments are increasingly seeing their people as tissue farms to be harvested at will", says Justice Action's forensic science spokesman Michael Strutt. "We should all be asking ourselves whether the hyperbolic promises made by promoters of DNA testing are nothing but a cover for the naked commercial exploitation of our genetic heritage".


Mon Feb 14 19:12:49 PST 2005

Thank you Sharon,
I will do that tomorrow. I am sick of waiting and wondering and worrying. I will go to the Police Station and request the information and records of Donald Gorrie and Michael McGee and Susan Roe and the rest of the records from Jim Dalbesio the Coroner from Price County. I have already requested the records from Tim Gould, and Jim Dalbesio but got nowhere. I know they knew exactly what happened. I am sure if my name was George Bush I wouldn't be just put aside. I have requested the bag that was in Ben's car which had
things in it to remove parts and eyes but again no response. I guess they "lost" it. They are quite good at loosing things you know! It is like being the mother is not very important and the mother is just someone to forget. Another person I will request records for is Tom Bombrock. And thank you for reminding me to get the records from Regent Hospital. Strange but in the Dayna Lord case there was parts missing from a baby.

Mon Feb 14 18:13:28 PST 2005

Roberta, Sorry, I didn't answer you sooner but had to go to work. Ramsey Medical won't give you the reports you have to go through you county sheriff's office or local police. They will have to get them for you.

If they refuse just tell them about the freedom of information act. Under this they have to give them to you. Be prepared for a fight. Sharon M aka Gregg's Mom


Mon Feb 14 13:54:03 PST 2005

regarding the post on michael austin's new job at kohler. thank you for letting us know this. hopefully he's not carrying a gun in this job. if you would be willing, please let us know how you knew. melinda wagner


Mon Feb 14 11:57:34 PST 2005

According to our lawyer, Marshal Tanick of Mansfield, Tanick and Cohen law firm in St Paul that the freedom of information act makes it so that it is public information. No one can get the autopsy report while the case is going on. Most people have to ask the county, which the person died in. We got our autopsy report through the Clay County Sheriff's office.

According to Ramsey Medical Center, they do not give out autopsy reports except to the investigating officials. Anyone can request trial transcripts, autopsy reports, etc basically anything our tax dollars have paid for is public information. Sharon M aka Gregg's Mom


Mon Feb 14 11:20:05 PST 2005

I am sorry Sharon for your loss and sure do understand how you feel. According to my lawyer they cannot give autoposy unless there is permission from the parents which in my children's case there was no permission. That is one of the questions I was asked and I said NO, I did not give permission. I did call Ramsey and just got through talking to them and they said there are no Specimens and that they stopped taking Specimens. I know how hard it is to deal. It seems we have no control of what happens to our loved ones bodies and when you buy a grave site you expect your loved one is there. There are supposed to be blood spots that were on each of my children that "seem to be gone."


Mon Feb 14 10:51:46 PST 2005

We never asked or signed for an autopsy, that is decided by the officials, such as police, sheriff's dept, MNBCA etc. This happens in most unattended deaths or accidents. The whole body is usually sent for the autopsy. I hope you can get the specimens but when we asked Dr. McGee for whatever he had left of Gregg he told Sheriff Bergquist that he had destroyed the samples he had taken. He told the sheriff that it was Standard Operating Procedure after 3 years, we have some very serious questions about that. We don't have any proof of this other than Sheriff Bergquist told us. We asked for a letter stating specifically that and were told that they would send one but have never received it.

All I can say is good luck. They do and say whatever they want and the only recourse for us is to get an attorney which costs money that we no longer have because we have spent it on lawyers, private investigator, another autopsy etc. Rather a nasty little circle that the powers that be have set up to keep their secrets, secret. Sharon aka Gregg's Mom


Mon Feb 14 10:26:56 PST 2005

Sharon,
Here in Price County it is the Coroner who decides if parts go to Ramsey Hospital. If Ramsey Hospital only gives autoposies I never asked for an autoposy. Jim Dalbesio is the Coroner but Mike McGee did the autoposy at Heindl's Funeral Home in Prentice. I think I am going to call and ask Ramsey for the Specimens that were retained in formalin for possible examination at a later time. I have proof with McGee's signature on it. The double edge sword will end up in the boys favor and shame on any person who twists the truth as they will be found out.


Mon Feb 14 07:34:37 PST 2005

Here, it is the county sheriff or the local poliece that decides if the body of accident, unattended deaths, etc go to Ramsey Medical Center. I don't think that it is a hospital at all but strictly does autopsies. In our case it was not Dr. Michael McGee that decided what was to be put on the death certificate but our county coroner Dr. Rogers (at the time of our son's murder). He did not consult with Dr. McGee but marked it as he wanted to. Dr McGee is now officially our county coroner. We learned from the local paper "The Forum" that Dr. McGee was now officially our county coroner 2 days after we received the preliminary autopsy report from the 2nd autopsy in January 2 years ago, we have no way to know if this was a coincidence or something else. They aren't volunteering this information.

Btw, I saw the post further down where you told Kat that you wanted the pictures documents etc back some given to her by you and others she had obtained on her own. I'm sorry to tell you that you have no choice in this matter. As with anything the "freedom of information act" is a double edged sword, no longer can they withhold any information from us (the family of the victim) but this also makes the information available to the public. In otherwords anyone can get this information. This includes police reports, autopsy reports, crime scene photos etc.

Anyone that wants can write a book with this information and there is no recourse. Since you willingly gave information to people you have no way of stopping it. Ask any attorney? Of course another double edged sword, it'll cost you. Sharon M aka Gregg's Mom



Sun Feb 13 06:08:39 PST 2005

There are so many persons on this site who were called suicide. It is obvious to me that murders are covered up under suicides. Does anyone know that it is the coroner who decides if parts go to Ramsey Hospital? How many of all the murdered people called suicide was an inquest about why all these suspicious deaths?


Fri Feb 11 20:03:39 PST 2005

Fri Feb 11 18:04:27 PST 2005

Although my family is not the victim of death caused by or [not] prevented by APD, we have had close to a lifetime of extreme pain caused by MANY injustices from Albuquerque's law enforcement circle. It has been so extreme and numerous that I now, an upper-middle-class professional, have no respect or faith in our police, and grunt when I see my young son playing with police toys. APD has gone out of their way to victimize everyone in my God-loving, peaceful family, including my dying mother, for as long as I can remember. I do honestly believe that [almost all of] APD's members are interested in their power trips over unthreatening, trusting (and unfortunately naive) citizens, more than actually protecting these innocent people whom they take advantage of for their gain, entertainment, and egos (insecureties).

Response:FROM REAL CRIMES:

We'd appreciate receiving a personal e-mail with the details of your situation. A number of other Albuquerque residents have contacted us with similar information, and it's beginning to seem that the same police officers are involved in many of these occurrences.



Fri Feb 11 13:29:58 PST 2005

I am Roberta's older sister, Marilyn. Over the course of our lives, we’ve shared an extremely close relationship— and have thoroughly discussed Roberta’s tragic loss a countless number of times. With everything that I know, I will vouch for my sister all the way in her search to find the truth of just what happened to her two young sons, how they died, and who is responsible. Just think of how much saner the world would be if all citizens required accountability from our well paid police, investigators, lawyers, prosecutors, etc. in our "justice" system. A long hard look should be taken at this horror going on right under our own noses. We owe Roberta every bit of our support and a big thank you for all her hard work, determination and unending perseverance in finding closure for herself and bringing to light the horrible corruption which is beyond most people's belief.


Thu Feb 10 17:08:48 PST 2005

This is Roberta with an important message to Kat. As I told you Kat I don't want pictures of my killed children out in public. I want you to return all including crimescene pictures from the Police. I never instructed them to give you pictures. I want them returned. I also want my two documentaries to be returned. As I have told you before those pictures and everything goes with them BELONGS AT THE TRIAL IF OR WHEN SOMEONE IS CONVICTED IN A COURT OF LAW! PLEASE RETURN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I WILL SEND YOU A REGISTERED LETTER TO THIS EFFECT.


Thu Feb 10 11:56:05 PST 2005

RE: Natalie Wagner Case

Michael Austin was just hired as the head of security for the Kohler Company in Kohler, Wisconsin. They are in the business of customer service. Perhaps someone should call them and tell them about Mr. Austin's past. I am sure they don't even know. Phone: (920) 457-4441


Thu Feb 10 07:27:39 PST 2005

Hello,
This is Roberta and possibly I can clear up some of the things. I have a wonderful, supportive friend who wrote the last email. Katherin Jewels or Kat Peters is the lady from Houston Texas who has been writing the book "Brothers Silenced." She was the person who wrote my story with Mike Madigan of twisted badge. I was quite distressed with being accused of having something to do with my sons deaths and I can certainly understand what Pat and John Ramsey as with my children hospital Records were missing. Actually I did not hire her. Actually I phoned her with my phone card to save her money. She is terribly hostile and blames my family. She has no right to incinuate things WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF. I think it is quite possible she is a Jehovah Witness lawyer and we know how the "good old boys" like to twist truth. Or working for one to discredit me and my family who have already been through hell and back. I am very thankful for everyone who understands and the support from all of you who have been through it and know! Also yes, she has indeed written terrible emails that I could share but won't.


Thu Feb 10 06:09:10 PST 2005

I'm confused by that last post, talking about very insensitive e-mails that "she" is sending to "you." Who is "you"? Is that post meant for Roberta? Is the "she" that you refer to a newspaper reporter or a private detective who is pumping Roberta for information? Are those "e-mails" personal e-mails sent directly to Roberta? If so, how do you know what's in them? Roberta usually identifies herself when she posts on this board and I don't recall her stating that she's receiving nasty e-mail, but maybe she is.

Can you please clarify your post so that those of us who are interested in this case will understand who you mean when you say "you" and "she"??
Also from an earlier post, who is "David"? And who is "Kat" and why is Roberta firing her? Is she the same person who wrote up this case for the Twisted Badge?


Tue Feb 8 07:21:02 PST 2005

I have another comment on the Robert and Ben Moore case:
It is not the fact that she is questioning things which is the problem. Of course she needs to ask some very searching questions, and this is to be expected of somebody who is investigating thoroughly. It is just that she seems to be sending you some very insensitive emails where she, and not other people, is making some very serious allegations against you. This is not right. It is not ethical, and it is just plain out of order.

I don't know who her advisors are, but I think they are very poor. Any psychologist worth their salt will realise that at the time of an exceptional trauma people can and DO go into a state of mind where they appear very calm. It is as though reality takes on a movie form. ANY psychologist, and any lay person can read the ample research which is available out there which will support this. This should be BASIC knowledge to any psychologist, whether they be practising or not!

Also in the early stages of trauma there will be something which gets blamed, and then as more fact emerge the blame can (and does) shift elsewhere, and this goes on until the real picture emerges, because your brain will just be searching and searching for real answers, to the point of insanity. Again, this is basic knowledge which any psychologist should be aware of. If they are not, then I would question their qualifications!

At the end of the day I just found her posts and allegations highly offensive and based upon pure assumption.


Mon Feb 7 15:11:39 PST 2005

Again this is Roberta
I do not think John Moore killed the kids! I think that what kind of guns were used to kill the kids needs to come into the light!

one of the things i am having a hard time getting straight to write about is the butter knife.

here's why; she says the officer told her and john the last time he talked to them as he was closing the case, they had found a butter knife on the scene. this is not in the police report anywhere and was not originally sent to the crime lab.

but, i did see a butter knife on some of the evidence photos.

now, she found a butter knife inside the car, with pat knaack. then she later on (there is a dispute as to how long) took it to the police station and confronted the sheriff. she got angry and threw it in the trash. that is the last time she saw it......

how can this be figured out?

keep in mind, she always kept a butter knife in her truck for lunches when she was in the woods working (she told me this). could this have been the same knife on the scene because she knew the gun jammed and there would need to be something there to remove shell if the boys killed themselves or no one would believe the did it......(which they didn't).

on the videos, she is adamant from hour one, that the boys killed themselves because they hated school.
then she turns to the jehovah's witnesses. she always tried to make john moore seem guilty. and he may be, who knows.....

i believe she has an obsession about this religion to the point almost of insanity.


Mon Feb 7 14:59:46 PST 2005

A message from Roberta,
If a person can fire someone who she feels wants to find the truth about her murdered children indeed she would and I do. You are fired Kat! You cannot make up false statements. I am going to delete you from all my emails. You do not have permission to write a book called brothers silenced. I want my name and everything I said not to be included. I am not afraid of the dark places-as whoever killed my children drove me to look into them. I think I will share your last email so all will know the truth! I need someone who cares about children and people to help me.


Mon Feb 7 06:14:11 PST 2005

a message on the Robert and Ben case:


OH - MY - GOD !-!-!-!-!

Again - this just proves the point of my previous mail. She sees the JW thing, and then stands still at the image of you + JW = Obsessed.

Why doesn't she start asking questions as to WHY are you obsessive about it? What is there in the Watch which keeps you looking there? This is how these bastards keep getting away with it. People just don't want to face up to the reality that these religions and cults are fronts from something far more sinister, that the occult are using these organisations for all kinds of devious things. They ARE using mind control and goodness knows what else to conceal murders and rituals.

You know, I despair of humanity. They really don't want to take that first step into looking into the real dark side of the human race. It is only people like us - who have been the victims of the cults who have even the slightest clue as to what is going on out there, and then we get labelled paranoid or even worse. Yeah right. We are the ones who are paranoid when it is them who refuse to even take the lid off the furnace and see the first sparks who are paranoid. If you ever find anybody with enough strength to go that extra mile, I'll be very surprised. You are just wasting your time with these people and going round and round in circles.

It seems that the people who do know what goes on, are too absorbed in focusing on the whole world and getting the message out there, that you are being left out. I think people like David take the view of let's expose the whole scene and then everyone will benefit, which is right. Whereas concentrating on one individual case is not going to expose the whole lot, which is what it is going to take to get people to wake up.

No, you are not alone. There are millions upon millions who have had their lives tortured, lost their lives etc because of them. I know it doesn't help you yet, but I think what David is exposing will wake some people up eventually, and then somebody might have the guts to really and properly investigate your individual case. Until that day comes, I really don't hold out any hope. Not with those people. They are too blinkered :-(



Fri Feb 4 10:23:57 PST 2005

This is Roberta
I would like to comment on the story of my children on your site. There was only one gun that was owned by my X husband. It was not a Remington Rifle. It was a H Piefer single shot Rifle that shot .22 short shells-not .22 long shells. In the police files there is only one mention of a gun and that is what did go to the crime lab. It was a single shot long rifle that jammed. The only thing that was Remington was the two spent shells that were on the scene that were shot from that gun. As of 12/2/1993 the Price County Sheriff heard nothing from the crime lab concerning the gun!

My Battle for Russell
A fragment of the story

When this First Happened and I saw the evidence and pictures, and realized this was a murder my immediate response was to Show Bloomfield police that there was a group that wanted him dead and had made threats, and had been involved in another murder. When I sent the family to ask questions to Det. Whitaker, He could not and would not answer any questions. He just said “Look I’ve ruled this as suicide and that’s that”. He called Sylvia when they left and warned her that questions were being asked.

I called Senator Pete Domineche’s office. They informed me that they were only involved in Federal Government not state. They had me contact the Lt Governors office. Diane Dinesh. You know the one that care’s about kids. They put me in touch with Carlos Acosta. I sent him two or three different batch’s of evidence and information. He later called me back and asked if it would be alright if he got the Attorney Generals Office involved in this. I told him that was my next choice. He said “I’ve been talking to a Special investigator by the name of Karen Yontz and she will be contacting you.” He said he was sending her the information. I waited for the Phone Call. About two weeks later I’m looking at the News paper, and read a story,” Special investigator Karen Yontz Killed in the streets of Albuquerque by local police.” I had another person call me from the attorney generals office, saying that he was the Special Investigator in charge. He said “ I was a detective for the Albuquerque police for 18 years, and I can tell you that your nephew did this to himself. Bloomfield Police provided me with a report and everything looks right.” I asked him can you explain the hole in the wall at 4 feet high. He said the report says it was around 6 foot. I told him “if it was 6 that my wife must be 9 because it comes to the top of her stomach”. “Have you seen the pictures?” He said no. So I sent them to him. He stopped responding to my Calls and has not responded or contacted me since. Over one and a half years. I contacted Mr Acousta at the Lt Governors office and was told that the investigator had told him “I’ve already told him his nephew did this to his self, he’s just being a stubborn Uncle.”

Wall after wall after wall. Im sure that everyone else’s Battle is similar. We have young men from this country dieing in Iraq every day in a fight against corruption and for freedom, and some oil <-“My personal opinion” when we have more dieing right here in the states for Drugs, Money, Jobs, and Power. Where does our responsibility really lye? Don’t worry about me giving up that wont happen! A battle isn’t the war!!

Clayton,
It is possible to make a change. We were involved in a case where our son in self-defense hit a kid once on the cheek resulting in the death of the boy. Drugs were rampant in our community. The deceased was full of meth and cocaine and was on his way out when he came towards our son. It took us 2 1/2 years of hell, the expense of a jury trial, losing our business and almost losing our home before we triumped. We also couldn't have accomplished what we did without Dr. Ed Friedlander graciously taking our case pro-bono. Dr. Friedlander is one of the truly good people on the face of this earth and will fight for the truth relentlessly. We dealt with what we believed to be an unethical medical examiner. We were working day and night to find the truth. We learned everything we could about meth and cocaine and how it affects people. We researched and we educated our local community, doctors and law enforcement on what we found. Meth and cocaine were epidemic. People were murdered and people were of course dying from the drugs. The drugs were being brought onto the reservation and then distributed throughout the community. We got a new aggressive sheriff and things started to change. The FBI came in at the request of the reservation and started sending people to prison for a long time. We still have plenty of drugs around but it is nothing like it was. Dealers used to deal openly in the parking lot. One guy practically had a drive up window and law enforcement looked away. I guess it just got so horrible that finally people started to wake up. We were threatened with death and still sleep with loaded guns by our beds but at least we can sleep now. The people jacked on meth can become psychotic and there's no telling what they can do.

Don't give up hope. There are good people out there who will help you. It just takes finding the right people. We had people who helped us because they believed we were getting screwed. Medical Examiner's are almost impossible to touch. We've had several reporters say they were interested in our case but no one ever follows through. Medical Examiner's are so insulated. Try getting their records. We raised some extremely interesting questions about Ramsey County Medical Examiner's office and what goes on there. Maybe someday someone will have the courage to investigate and look into the dark corners.

Best wishes and I pray your community will wake up and fight the drugs.

Yes, they are all the same. Drugs are the biggest business and the best way to control people. Did you know that the DEA's budget would make them the 5th biggest economy in the world? They have to keep the problem growing to support their habits of living the good life.

you want their attention, just say maybe all drugs should be legal and see what attention you get from it. Think about all drugs being legal?? The crime level in this country would go down the toilet. The real hard core criminals couldn't get out of their crimes by turning in friends, relatives etc. Then again, the prison system is nothing but a business, too. They won't give up that system either. It all comes down to money and nothing else. Human life is just nothing compared to their lifestyles and this monster just keeps growing.

Sorry to be so negative but the facts are just that. BTW, all drugs were made illegal out of hatred and profit. They convinced the public that drugs are what made African Americans angry and violent (of course they used the N word to convince them. I guess they never thought they could be angry about the way they were treated for hundred of years. They illegalized marijuana when dupont wanted to sell nylon and the hemp market wasn't making that possible but presente the illegalization of it to the public as the way it made the African Americans act. One other interesting fact is, the Declaration of Independence is written on hemp paper. How is that for hypocrasy(sp)?

I guess I am off on another one of my rants but some food for thought.

Thanks for letting me vent, Sharon Meissner aka Gregg's Mom


Fri Jan 28 11:11:26 PST 2005

Hi Clayton,
I too hope you will continue the battle and never give up until there is justice. It is the same way here in Price County. There are many drugs and those in charge are no help because they too sell drugs. It is a known fact that some of the Police have been on drugs.
The population here is quite sparce and there are many places that Iknow of that have their secrets that they desparatly want to hide. One thing we do know and that is what goes around comes around so it is sure worth it to try to wait. I am sure drugs have a lot to do with the crimes that are unsolved.

Russell Cage:

Are all communities the same as this one??

We are in the San Juan County in Northern New Mexico. I have lived here most all my life. Now more than ever we have More Drugs in this County than you can imagine. If you make a call or stop by a Local Law enforcement Agency and give them a tip on a Drug Dealer, They just Blow it off. There are certain groups that seem to be protected by the law. And they continue to distribute there drugs and violence no mater what happens. Is this because of the Government Funds that are provided to a community like this one. Anti Drug Programs, Substance Abuse, Rehabilitation Programs, New Jail Houses, New Court Systems, Many new Lawyers needed, more police, etc….. That’s a lot of jobs. Maybe if there were less Drugs There would be less money and that’s not good for business. Maybe Drugs simulates Local Government. You know! Job Security! That’s the only Reason I can think of that law enforcement would ignore a good hard tip. Kind of like a war on this planet, Stimulating economy, Just on a local level. Is this the way it is in your communities?? I would like to know. Is it bad where you live? Are there a lot of Government funds sent to your communities for new jobs in this so called fight against drugs and crime?

Clayton, I hope your family doesn't fall apart but I know how easily that can happen. Our family is intact at this point and I hope it remains so but I do know of the obstacles that are put in our paths. It is so easy to fall into depression, wonder why this all had to happen to your family and feeling so alone. From there you go to the antidepressants, then maybe alcohol, drugs etc etc. That is just what many hope happens, but don't let it. Many people want us to just go away and leave things alone. To win you have to believe in our murdered love ones and ourselves. To me it boils down to "Right is Right and Wrong is Wrong" we all know the differnece but it is really hard to live by those words.

Remember who your nephew was and still is and know that he would want the truth known. Know there are many people watching and some that actually care. We know that for a fact. We have lost many people that have said they were friends but we have gained many of Gregg's friends as ours. We are known as Mom and Dad to so many because they saw that we believed in and liked (not just loved our son). We also believed in them when they came and told us what they knew.

There are people out there, like many here, that will help to keep you going.

Take care and keep fighting, it's worth it, Sharon Meissner aka Gregg's Mom


Fri Jan 28 10:22:05 PST 2005

Hello all you hurting people that can't get justice: OUr currupt system is cold as a rock! Just saying "suicide" gets them out of a lot of work and investigation. The first step I found out the hard way is to see if these people that committed "suicide" have cremation permits if they were cremated. Because I lost two children my pain is double so I know what you are going through. The people that are in charge of our precious children and loved ones couldn't care less. There are still a few in law enforcement that do care such as Mike Madigan of "twisted badge." I think we should all get together and get one giant lawsuit to stop the evil that is done in God's name. If we don't do anything the evil will continue until we are all killed and called "suicide." Imagine the size of the lawsuit we could have if we joined forces?


Fri Jan 28 06:58:20 PST 2005

Yes this system is broken. What people dont relize is that it is hard enough to bury your family. But that dosnt end it when there is corruption. This effects Our familys from that day forward. The distruction that happens to a family when we relize that there is no part of the system that fix's the broken links. My family is still coming apart because no one cares that the Justice system fails daily.

Clayton


Fri Jan 28 06:45:01 PST 2005

You hit the nail on the head Clayton. No one wants to take on the system and no one wants to think they are living with a broken system, that would mean their families aren't safe. Most people want to believe it was our families that were broken not the system. They can live with the fact that it was the victim's fault, therefore, their family is secure because they love each other and this won't happen to them.

I wish you luck and if I can be of any help I will. Our story is here

Russell Cage:

Two years ago today We received the information that our nephew was dead. Its been a fight trying to find out the truth every since. I think a lot of people think like I did at that time. It would not be a problem to find the truth. Surely Someone would investigate. I was wrong. Nobody wants to buck the system. I have been through most parts of the state government, and they are all trying to be blind. We presented information to the OMI Chief about about 9 months ago in an attempt to have the autopsy changed from suicide to undetermined so we could get a outside agency to investigate. We were told to send a written request and they would present it to the board and if all agreed they would change it to undetermined. We sent that 3 different times with no response. Although our meeting with the Chief there were multiple questions that he could not answer, including the question “can you tell us that Russell killed himself? ” People need to realize that the system is designed with parts that will protect the rest. There are kids running around bragging about the murder of Russell, yet there is no one willing to investigate because it may incriminate Police officers for not doing there job. That would look bad for police. This is the way most the cases on this site are. We cant bring any shame to any department. The citizens might not like it and revolt. Heaven help us all for just sitting back and letting it happen.

This is Roberta
I tried to contact you but was told information was incomplete. Lois knows my email. I would like to have any information you have on Michael G. McGee and Susan Roe the two pathologists who said they did autoposies at Ramsey Hospital for my children Robert and Ben Moore. Michael G. McGee according to the records I have did an autoposy on little Ben on 8/30/93 and autoposy records say both boys had autoposies on 8/31/93. I would appreciate any information you can find on this.


Wed Jan 26 09:49:07 PST 2005

What is sinister about the closing of Private Autopsy is that they preformed our 2nd autopsy in 2002. I have the paperwork to prove it. There is something real fishy about all this. Why would it show that they closed up in 2000? This is stranger and stranger all the time. Whoever is covering up sure doesn't know how to do it well. Thank you so much for the information. BTW, we have tried to contact Monika Rhollinger several times by phone, registered letter, email, attorney. She did not contact us again. In fact it was another person that got in touch with the attorney, that was when we finally got at least a preliminary report, not sufficient for the money we spent on it.
If you would like to see any of this we can send it to you easily enough. Sharon Meissner aka Gregg's Mom


Wed Jan 26 01:26:46 PST 2005

TO: Roberta Moore and Steve & Sharon Meissner

Dear Ones, I am so sorry to read of your losses and the horrors you've suffered on top of them. I did a little research on the internet tonight and found some information regarding Dr. Monika Padilla-Rohlinger that you may be interested in. Dr. Rohlinger's business, Private Autopsy, was indeed dissolved in year 2000 according to the CA Secretary of State's website. I retrieved an address from those official records of 30809 E. Sunset Dr. S, Redlands, CA 92373.

There appears to be nothing sinister with this business closure because Dr. Rohlinger, according to an article in the Desert Dispatch newspaper serving several areas around Redlands, dated March 6, 2002, ran for public office (San Bernardino County coroner), unsuccessfully, against her former employer and incumbent coroner Dr. Brian McCormick. I have saved the article on my hard drive should you wish to read it. The race grew quite nasty with Dr. McCormick accusing Dr. Rohlinger of stealing property of the deceased (not organs).

Additionally, I pulled an inventory list from People Finder with entries as late as 2003 for contact information should you wish it.

I cannot answer your questions regarding theft of your loved ones' organs at Ramsey Medical Center, but surely if Dr. Rohlinger was the first to advise you of it, you should certainly get in touch with her to follow up on any information she may have.

I am currently working on another case that involves theft of hospital/autopsy records and if I discover any connection, even remotely, to your cases, I will post again on this site.

If you wish copies of the saved documents mentioned herein, or if I can be of any other assistance to you, please do not hestitate to email me at djnubee@aol.com.

My prayers for peace are with you!

re: Natalie Wagner/Michael Austin

"Officer" Austin has filed a federal suit against Mukwanago? Absolutely ridiculous. I would be very interested to sit in on his court proceedings or to get a copy of his filed complaint.

I got his Milwaukee records through the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission. There are open records laws that should allow Muk. to release their investigation of him. Interestingly, I believe a general theme of dishonesty is included in his Milwaukee PD past. I think he may be considered a hot potato to any potential employer who discovers even a fraction of his past combined with a federal lawsuit against his last employer not for firing him but for "forcing" him to resign.

Fri Jan 7 10:12:51 PST 2005

Hello everyone,
This is Roberta and I have an update for everyone on the Robert and Ben Moore case. I hope Mike Madigan and Catherin Jewel will get to see this update. The old gun that was on the scene of my children's murders was a single shot long Rifle and the name for the rifle was
22 Caliber H. Pieper. It was NOT a long barrowed REMINGTON RIFLE. That is what the local police need to find. Of course there were two spent shells on the scene but that gun wasn't used to kill my children. The police need to find the long barrowed REMINGTON RIFLE and the pistol that shot my children. Then the law has to do the right thing and bring both of them to trial for murder. The only thing about Remington was the spent shells on the scene. The spent shell John Moore had was one that Johnny used to shoot the gun from the porch from where we lived. First of all they have to do the right thing and call it a double murder. Then they have to open the case and find those guns and arrest those responsible.

FROM THE WEB MASTER (to the person who posted two long newspaper articles about the McCracken case):

The Melanie McCracken case has its own separate message board. The articles have been transferred from this board to that one.

The gist of the articles is that a judge has ruled that former New Mexico State Police Officer Mark McCracken will not have to stand trial for his wife, Melanie's, mysterious death. The judge stated that, while a "violent and unnatural death cannot be excluded" there was not enough probable cause to try McCracken on charges of murder and tampering with evidence. He chastised the NMSP for not allowing an outside agency to take over the investigation of a case in which the suspect was one of their own officers.



Thu Dec 30 07:24:38 PST 2004

I would like to comment on people that are missing that could possibly be involved in a triangle of three states. Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Just recently there were two people shot in O'Connell funeral home. One was Dan O'Connell and his assistant James Ellison who was an intern for a year and had a lisence as a funeral director apprentice. In one article it states that possibly it was a murder suicide. Those two men that got killed were taken to Ramsey Hospital Medical Examiners.

Two missing people with the same people questioned and involved. How many more missing people could there be? No one from the party house reported Diana missing and it didn't raise eyebrows?

Regarding the new Harris case.

Reading on the new case of Diana Lynn Harris showing the same people are questioned in the disappearance of more than just Tom Stump is amazing. Did it occur to anyone in the Sheriff's Department there could be a connection? How is it that records are lost or destroyed? Is the court system not adequate to have the storage for the unsolved cases? When papers walk off whom is responsible for it and what is done regarding it?

Did Bernie know Diana Lynn Harris and her children? Has she talked to Diana Lynn Harris's daughter to see if the connection is valid?
If so what was the outcome of that, does anyone know?

Brooks Black Case

Hi Adrion. I don't know if Sarah knew any or all of the men. I know Sarah was with Brooks quite a bit your senior year and Brooks worked at Celebrations where one of the three hunters also worked. The wife of another man worked there too. I know Brooks hung out there even when he wasn't working so it seems probable that sarah could have gone there with him or to Jeff's house. There was a large insurance policy that had been left to Sarah until Brooks filed for divorce. Sarah didn't know he had removed her name as the beneficiary as his "Wife" just shortly before his death. All the readings I have had which is many, agree that Brooks was shot by one of the other men. They believe it was in anger and over something Brooks discovered that night and over a discussion over a woman and money.
I've had another reading where it was said that Brooks wasn't the first one killed by this group. Just this week I found out that two of the three men are in involved in a burglary ring. They have a woodcutting business where they go to property owners and offer to cut wood. They case the property, then return to steal chainsaws, farm equipment etc. I heard that some of them were recently caught for doing this in Granite Bay and will soon be going to prison.
In the last three months there has been a notice placed on the mailboxes on Perimeter from the Nevada County sheriff's Dept. warning property owners that a group has been doing the same thing out here in this area where Brooks was killed. I have talked to a few property owners who are convinced that this is the same group that is now burglarizing in Granite Bay. One property owner told me that he and hios elderly wife received a 1:00 a.m. call from one of them saying "Thanks for the equipment". Then he hung up. The property owner went to his barn and discovered that his chainsaws and a few other items were taken. This is the property where Brooks died. The men are very angry with Mr. B who talked to reporter in the Press Tribune and told about the history of illegal activities on the property where Brooks died. I placed a memorial in The Union newspaper on Dec. 2 for Brooks and a reminder that I was still looking for justice and offered a reward for new information. I've also placed a memorial in the Press Tribune (don't know when it will come out). I am very tired, frustrated and feel very defeated but my belief in Brooks and the fact that he would not accidently kill himself, I have to continue to hope someone will come forward to tell the truth or to help me get to the truth. It's a mother's job to never give up hope. Evelyn


Tue Dec 7 20:59:17 PST 2004

Evelyn,
Please let me know how your readings go, my Mom had asked me if you had considered it and even suggested that I go for one shortly after my dream. I continually hope that something will surface that will settle Brooks' case. As far as Sarah, no, I don't think she was involved. I believe she said some horrible, mean and hurtful things during a moment of rage that had very unfortunate timing. Is there any reason to believe that she knew or had any contact with the men involved? What was her behavior like after everything happened? Keep in touch.
Smiles & Hugs,
Adrion

Brooks Black

Hello Adrion. Thank you for your ideas about Brooks. Thank you for coroborating the fact that Brooks was a trained hunter and Marine who would never be careless with a weapon. The pathologist already varified that Brooks's wound was a "Distant wound". This didn't seem to raise any eyebrows with the Nevada County Sheriff's Dept. I also had Brook's rifle test-dropped by Winchester and his rifle would not ever discharge when dropped, even with the 2-stage safety mechanisms off. They also didn't care about the fact that all 3 of the men lied about some things that they later admitted. I had a dream last night that the dam was about to break and I have a reading coming up with Sylvia Browne in a fes months as well as another by another psychic, Phil Jordan from NY this week. He has been on court tv's Psychic Detective. I've had several other reading by unkonwn psychics who all agree that Brooks was shot suddenly during an anger burst by one of them. I know in my heart that Brooks was killed by one of them and I know that the NCSD has done everything it can to squelch this Truth. I'll update this message board when I have new info. It means a lot to me to hear from people who have read Brook's case or knew Brooks. This helps to keep hope alive. Now that I live in the area where Brooks died, I have a much better chance of getting to the truth. Please write again if you have any more insights. I would also like to know if you have any gut feelings about Brook's death. Knowing Sarah as you did, have you any thoughts regarding her? Love Evelyn

Re: MELANIE MCCRACKEN CASE

Retired State Police Lt. Mark McCracken appeared at a preliminary hearing today, Nov. 29, on criminal information charging him with murder in the first degree and tampering with evidence in the August 1995 death of his wife, Melanie. (For background on this case, see the Melanie McCracken case report on this web site.).

This is the second round of charges against Mark McCracken. He had been indicted by a Valencia County grand jury in November 2003, but murder charges were dismissed earlier this year because an investigator for the prosecution was in the grand jury room during testimony. Rather than seek an indictment the second time around, the prosecutor chose to take the case to a public preliminary hearing.

From the start, Melanie's mother, Nancy Grice, pushed for an independent inquiry of her daughter's death. A national medical expert Nancy hired in 1999 concluded that the death was due to "homicidal suffocation." Nancy believes State Police conducted a biased inquiry, overlooking evidence of criminal wrongdoing, because McCracken was a fellow officer. State Police have denied such accusations.

Read the case report and let us know what YOU think.

My cousin's wife, Leslie Porter of West Covina, CA. has been missing for 20 years. See:
http://doenetwork.us/cases/220dfca.html
for her photo & info.
Perhaps if the police had done their work soon enough, the trail would not have gone cold! My father, Mike Porter's uncle, was involved in the search. The West Covina, CA. police did not even look in the trunk of Leslie's car until my father asked them if they had! (Of course she wasn't there). Also, it is reported that *six months later* after Leslie's disappearance, police were seen returning to the apartment and taking fingerprints, etc. It was also reported that some of the police who showed up were very pompous, and didn't take it seriously. This is actually very unusual for this type of crime to not have ever gotten solved. I read once where this is the first time things have gone this way. It is a little reminiscient of the Scott Peterson case. If you would like to discuss this case more, email be at: heart_focus@yahoo.com

I was told he was investigated by the police chief of mukwonago and the waukesha county DA was also involved, but I don't know to what extent. The town attorney and chairman will not/can not give me more info regarding the investigation or the circumstances of his resignation. they say that info is confidential. no one seems to be able to give answers. other people have told me that the investigaton of this officer is open record, but the town is telling me it is not. it seems this officer has a lenghty record with the milw pd also. it makes me wonder how he even was able to get a job in law enforcement,and my other concern is that he will go and get another job with another department and cause problems for other people. it makes me so angry that he was allowed to resign instead of being fired!! i wanted him to be held accountable for his wrongdoing!!

any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.

I forgot to mention that Lois can reach me at beamerdreamr@hotmail.com. Thanks, Abby, daughter of Warren Pritchett, Jr.


Mon Nov 22 21:03:04 PST 2004

I was trying to reach Lois, but I lost her email address. I'm Abby the daughter of Warren Pritchett, Jr. I wanted to share with her an article about the man that killed my father. This man is pure evil and yet he continues to destroy people's lives. When is the State of Delaware going to hold this man accountable for his actions? They keep charging him, but he always manages to get off. Is it because they still use him as an informant? He has already plead not guilty to the new set of charges. The case review is on Wednesday and I plan to be there. Hopefully someday this man will be held accountable for his actions. I just hope I'm there to see it happen.

I would like to comment on certain words bloodline people use to control. One is Rock, another is water, river like in the garden of eden. Remember the story where the four rivers came out of Eden and into a head? Another is ley line which is considered sacred where many things happen. We have to look upon these in a spiritual way. God always uses a physical example for a spiritual happening. We all know who the head is. A ley line is usually on a high place such as a hill where energy gathers! There were only two Presidents we have had that weren't the Illuminati. They were John Kennedy and Lincoln that were assasinated and replaced by the illunimati.

Hello to whoever wrote in concerning my children Robert and Ben Moore. Thank you for your prayers and support. My children's blood keeps calling from the ground for justice. There were two documentaries out on the subject. The first one was made by Channel 4 in Minneapolis and called "Children of the Tower." I do not know if you could find this documentary now. The next one was called "Was in murder or was it suicide" made by Kohl Productions.
Witness Inc has one of the segments of channel 4 in Minneapolis in its documentary called Battling over the Children"
http://www.witnessinc.com/battling.htm that still can be purchased. I am sure there will soon be an update on the book. Possibly "Children of the Tower" may be purchased at WCCO TV

Roberta,

I live in your area...I didn't remember hearing anything about your sons' deaths, although I was living here and 20 years old at the time. I wonder if it wasn't reported outside the Bee, which I have never received. I am astounded at the patterns or similarities that seem clear in many of the deaths reported on real crimes, and that people in power seem blind to them. But I guess power is the key word there and those in power sadly seem not to care enough.

At any rate, I was wondering if you know when the book will be available? I wish there were more I could do, and I feel so helpless, but please know that you are in my thoughts and when I pray, I will keep you and your boys in mind and offer prayers for all of you.

My friend Stephen Thomas Haar was murdered in Albuquerque, NM on January 15, 1998. It was a known fact that their was a hit out on Steve Haar aka Beto. I was told by Robert H. Jaramillo several months before that the police were going to kill Steve and that when the time was right it wouldn't matter who was around, they would die too.

When Steve was murdered, everything about this homicide investigation was mishandled. A felon by the name of Travis Daly claimed to have killed Steve in a house full of guns and drugs. They said it was self defence. However, Travis's detailed description of how he killed Steve didn't even come close to matching the coroners report. Yet Steve's murder like many other murders in New Mexico was quickly swept under the rug. His family was given run around after run around for several years in their attempt to find Steve's real killer. Steve's family was made to feel threatend by The Albuquerque Police Department, Detective Rockhart and the D.A. at that time. There was much betrayal adding up to Steve's murder. It's not solved. A five year old could have followed homicide investigation guidlines better. Times didn't match up, witnesses with pertinent information were ignored at their attempts to report. I am ashamed to say that I am from Albuquerque, NM. I miss old Albuquerque - I don't miss the new one! Steve wasn't perfect, but he had rights. Travis was meremly a fall guy who failed at Plan A - Morningside St. No, the cops wanted to make sure Steve would die for sure. Steve was one of three children murdered in the Haar family. I wonder who's child will be killed next?

Rocks don't have hearts!!!

I miss Beto -

To all you detectives out there be very careful if you are looking for a college faturnity you can expect your computer to be "fixed" so you can't forward a message. It is against the law to brake into someone's computer as much as it is to break into a persons house. Where is the law hiding? What have you got to hide?? I was trying to check up on this one http://www.ou.edu/student/greek/alpha-sigma-phi/ASP_symbols.htm Obviously they are trying to "hide" under a big rock! But is the rock big enough to hide you? Let the light shine into that dark place!

Brooks Black Case:

Watching Forensic Files on Court TV a so called shooting accident occurred similar to Brooks case. Two witnesses to the shooting reported to the police, while handing the rifle to the victim the gun accidentally went off. A lie detector test was given to the person handing the gun over and passed the test. Later the other witness changed her story, because the man passed the lie detector test, the police had no proof it was not an accident. The second person was given a lie detector test to see if she was being truthful, and failed. For whatever reason, the police believed her story that it was not an accident even though she failed the lie detector test. Here's the good part! The police took the dead victims clothes, mainly the shirt, to forensics for testing. If a rifle goes off at close range it will leave residue, (gun power, a pattern) changing the size of the entry hole. Forensic tested the rifle at different distances, from close range to being too far to be handing a person a rifle, proving it was not an accident.

Perhaps, if Brooks clothes are in evidence they could be tested to see what the distance is when the rifle discharged. In Brooks case it would/should be very close, and Brooks jacket/shirt should have residue on it. If no residue is present, it would prove Brooks was shot from a distance.

This show also proved that taking a lie detector test is not reliable at all, which we all know. Here the killer passed the test, the person telling the truth failed.

RE: BROOKS BLACK
Evelyn, it was a pleasure hearing back from you and my heart goes out to you. I don't know of a way to get an investigation started but I do want to share my feelings with you. My gut has told me from the instant I found out about Brooks' passing that something was very wrong with the story. He taught me how to shoot and was VERY EXPLICIT about how to safely carry and secure a weapon. As a fellow military member I know also that it would have gone against his training to have his weapon slung over his shoulder and not on safe. I can say from personal experience that it would be very out of character for Brooks to treat a firearm casually. I don't know if this helps in any way but I did feel it was worth mentioning. Take care and stay in touch.
Smiles & hugs,

THEY HAVE AN "INNER CIRCLE" AND VOW TO "PROTECT AND SERVE": BASICLLY ONLY EACHOTHER. MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. TRACY


Wed Nov 3 13:33:32 PST 2004

I sure think Funeral Homes should be carefully checked out. I also think that everyone that is on this site that has had a loved one cremated that they all should request cremation permits. We all know what happened in Georgia with all kinds of bodies all stacked up. Our loved ones don't deserve that in anyway.

FOR THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY WHO QUESTIONED MICHAEL AUSTIN aka MICHAEL QUIGLEY (SEE MESSAGE SEVERAL POSTS DOWN):

Natalie Wagner's mother wants very much to talk with you. Please, contact her by private e-mail via Real Crimes.


Fri Oct 29 21:03:41 PDT 2004

Re Brooks Black
This is Brook's mom, Evelyn. Thank you for helping me contact two of Brook's friends. Candace and Adrion, thank you for contacting me. I have moved and have a new e-mail address. It is wildlife55@direcway.com. Please give my e-mail address to any of Brook's friends. I would like to contact Tawnya if any of you know how to. Brooks saw her just before he left for Boot Camp Aug. 17, 1998. If anyone has ideas of ways to get an investigation other than going up the chain of command from the Nevada County Sheriff's Dept. deputies to the State Attorney General's office and the Governor, please write to me. I know in my gut that my son was shot in the back by one of the men with him that night. Please read his case and give me any ideas no matter how unusual or strange they may seem. I just can't find the way to motivate anyone to really dig in and I don't have the money to stop working and pursue it as I would if I could. If any of Brook's friends read this, I would love to hear from you. Thanks Evelyn


Fri Oct 29 08:50:20 PDT 2004

I was horrified to read Natalie's story this morning. I am a defense attorney who cross-examined Michael Austin two years ago on a simple misdemeanor case and it was the most bizarre hearing I have ever had. While testifying, he began yelling at me and asking me questions. It was disturbing, especially in light of his disciplinary record with the Fire and Police Commission here in Milwaukee. He appeared very aggressive and in my opinion, a loose cannon. I later learned that he left Milwaukee Police and is currently seeking non-law enforcement employment.
Mr. and Mrs. Wagner, I can only imagine your pain and frustration. I am so sorry for your loss.

Response:If you would like to contact Natalie's family directly, you can do so by sending a confidential e-mail to them c/o this web site. They would be very interested in hearing from you.

This is Roberta and I would like to add an update to Kat's book Brothers Silenced. Until I read the latest from Mike and Kat I had no idea a duputy "forgot" to tell Mike about the 911 call I made to the Police at 8:25. I am sure if we looked through police records we could find exactly who that deputy was at that time. John Moore who was first on the scene told me the boys were both dead and the gun was there. He took Lisa and myself back home. Then he returned to the scene. John Moore was not there at 8:25 which was the time of the murders. Another election is in the horizon on Nov 2, 2004. Let us as the people stop this covering up murders at election time!
Get these two murderers out of the street before they kill again! John Moore told me the boys were each one on one side of the road and the other on the otherside of the road WITH THE GUN 10' to 15' away from the boys he said that Mike Roberts saw it that way and I believe him. How many others saw it that way too but are afraid to tell the truth? Let God be found true though every man a liar! When someone moved the gun to make it look like suicide is when the leaves that were on top of the gun disappeared!


Thu Oct 21 14:54:57 PDT 2004

This is Roberta,
I would like to add to what Mike Madigan and Kathryn said on the new book Brothers Silenced. I would like everyone to know that Mike Roberts knew right away that my children were both murdered as he said there should be 4 or 5 men working on this case. It was terribly hard on him when he saw what someone had done to my poor children. In fact he had to go see a Counselor because he couldn't sleep many night due to the horror he saw. I wanted the case re-opened so I went to the internet for help. You see Mike had a 10 year old son too and so he could feel my pain. I wonder if that had something to do with his 10 year old son that he suddenly disagreed that it was murder. There are still some good Police left and Mike did the best he could do under the circumstances. I am sure Mike knew there was more than that old single shot Remington Rifle involved. The Police that are in Price County now are not responsible for the case being closed as a double suicide again. However it is up to them to do the right thing and re-open the case as what it really is a double murder of two young children. I am sorry Mike for the pain the two murderers caused when they murdered my children. As I have stated before I did not want my children killed never mind their parts stolen. Thank you Mike Madigan for your help in "What goes around comes around."

This is Roberta. I would like to tell you all that Kathryn Jewel will be writing a book on behalf of my two murdered children Robert and Ben Moore. The name of the book will be "Brothers Silenced."
As you read through the book you will come to understand why they were silenced. Keep looking for updates on the www.realcrimes.com site. Her book will be finished by 2005. I would like to thank everyone for all the support.
Love,

I have read the latest story about deaths in Wisconsin from Mike Madigan. I think God is testing John! God wants him to do what the BIBLE tells him. He is in the same situation as "JOB" of the Bible.
Who will you choose John? It is up to him to choose the Bible and live. Will you choose the Bible John? Will you be faithful and tell the truth? Here is Mike Madigan's story www.twistedbadge.com

I have an interesting case that our family could use all the help we could get. January 13, 2003, my dad was found by my sister in our family's home shot three times in the head. He was found sitting up against the counter and police say he fell back into the bathroom, even though there was a blood stain on the floor a few feet away from him which shows someone sat him up and placed him with his hands in his lap. The time of death on his death certificate says after 12:00 (noon) but the police say he died about 11:00-11:10 am. He was the only one home. The way he was shot was horrendous. He was shot point blank in the face and twice on the top of his head-like someone stood over him. There was an obvious struggle in the hallway where we found a gunshot in the ceiling. We believe they shot him placed him in the bathroom and shot twice more (but do not know why because the first shot would have killed him) and whoever shot him missed again and shot next to where they sat him up. The police went in with no gloves and did not fingerprint the front door which my sister found open because they said too many officers had touched it. My brother's bedroom window was open when we arrived at the scene but the police say it was not, even though every member of the family asked why it was open. My brother was a drug dealer and turned 18 January 14 which is when he was going to have to move out. He was in the middle of a trial for robbing a dealer by gun point with a few friends. The dealer testified against him but said he was out in the desert because he heard someone had car trouble (yeah). Anyways, we turned into the police the fact that the kid had driven by the home daily at all times and it stopped the day after my dad was murdered. My dad was a devout Christian who devoted his time to his engineer job and volunteering as an interpretor for the deaf community-which was his passion. The day after we recieved a call that the dealer and his brother bragged about what they did and the fact that they were going to make my brother pay. A few months prior someone had come to my brother's window and knocked on it asking him to come out. He told them to identify themself and they would not. They had a hood on. He went in to the living room and told my mom. She flipped on the light outside and they ran jumped into a car down the street and took off. He also had a death threat written on his window a month prior. We believe this was for my brother and my dad should not have been there. The police from day one have said it was my mom because my dad had a life insurance policy. The policy is not a big amount and my mom was the last person to leave the house but the police say they have a 10 minute period where they cannot place her. The girls all were going to lunch and a movie that afternoon. Anyways,from day one they have dismissed the thought that anyone else did this. For two years they have followed us and harassed us. In no way did my mom do this. My dad and her had a good relationship. It just so happens that the head detective had just caught his wife with another man prior to the case so he came in scorned. We have worked with these detectives before. And actually, the night they came to have mom come down and be questioned, they served a search warrant on my grandma's home where the family was staying and my brother had just got out of the shower. They patted everyone down and my brother said he had a pipe in his car. The det who is the brother of one of the two lead det on the case, told him that was the least of our worries and let us all leave the home. My brother was having a cigarrette and they came up and arrested him for possession. They took him to the station and walked him by the room my mom was in and let her see him in handcuffs and told her that he confessed that she did it and he was in on it. They got nowhere with that so my mom was taken back to us and meanwhile the police booked my brother into jail for murder which revoked his bond that he was on for the robbery and then it was changed to posession, but the bond lady in the meantime went in to tell my brother it was revoked and because my brother was not respectful to her, denied the reinstatement of the bond and would let us rebond him out for the 5000.00 we already paid if we paid again but not for 2 days so he could think of his reaction. We did. Anyways, my mom has not recieved the policy and in June we were contacted by the insurance company and told that the case was at the prosecuting attny office and they would see if they had enough to charge her within 4-6 weeks. It is now October and we are just told he has not got to it yet. Can anyone help?

The site you posted is the site of Dr. Ed Friedlander. He took our son's case probono and gave us the proof we needed to make our case and prove our son was innocent. Ed is the most generous, giving soul who works to fights injustice. Check out his site...it is a wealth of information.

Re: NATALIE WAGNER CASE:

The Sept. 14, 2004, edition of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel carries an expose' article about Police Officer Michael Austin aka Michael Quigley, a suspect in the suspicious death of his girlfriend Natalie Wagner, whose story is on the Real Crimes web site. The web site is credited with helping to bring this information to light.

EXCERPTS FROM THE ARTICLE:

You've heard it said, surely, that in small towns there are no secrets. So in rural Waukesha County, in the Town of Mukwonago, you'd understand some fallout when purported, 10-year-old skeletons are yanked from a closet - in this case, OFF THE INTERNET - and they concern no less than a town cop.

"A lot of people don't like the police," says Grant Turner, town police chief, "and if they can find out anything about us, they will."

In the case of Michael Austin, a town police officer for the past 18 months and, before that, a Milwaukee cop for 10 years, there seems enough wafting smoke fanned by critics that it's a wonder someone hasn't pulled the fire alarm...

Austin grew up in Mukwonago ... where folks might remember him as Michael Quigley - the name he legally changed to Austin in 1995 while still a Milwaukee officer. The change came less than a month after an inquest jury found that Austin's girlfriend, Shorewood Police Officer Natalie Wagner, committed suicide by shooting herself in the head in Austin's presence a year earlier... He shared the name change but nothing about the Wagner case with (the Mukwonago police chief) before he was hired.

Though the medical examiner and police, along with the inquest jury, concluded Wagner's death was a suicide, Wagner's parents raise questions of a coverup on Web sites. One is titled "REAL CRIME, REAL COVERUP AND CORRUPTION BY LAW ENFORCEMENT; REAL FAMILY FRUSTRATION AND HEARTBREAK."

You can read the full article at www.jsonline.com/news/wauk/sep04/258628.asp.


Mon Sep 13 17:13:11 PDT 2004

There is another drug called Ketamine that causes someone's heartbeat to slow down. It is used primarily to knock out animals.
It can also make it look like a person is dead. Here is the url so you can look.

Mon Sep 13 16:09:49 PDT 2004

This is Roberta. When someone murdered my two children my X husband said someone had shot Ben but Robert had no injuries. He said Robert was white. I have a picture that was in the old car the kids were accused of driving of a "stun gun." It is common knowledge that a stun gun knocks out people. The EMT's said there was no heartbeat. Yet the autoposy says both boys were shot at exactly 8:25 which is the time I called 911. I feel something terribly wrong in your case and hope you will keep looking into it because of all the cover-ups. Double suicide at the same time with a single shot long rifle? A rifle that jams quite easily and the police lady couldn't even pull it out? The detective took 6 minutes in my house in the kitchen under ideal conditions!


Mon Sep 13 10:34:49 PDT 2004

Murder Pizza Case:
I submitted the original post. The family does feel that it was murder or some kind of cover-up. The EMTs transported the body (which was suppose to have been dead for two hours) to another county. There were no vital signs at all. The cornoner from another county suspected foul play and the family(not the spouse)ordered the autoposy. Results are pending.


Mon Sep 13 06:49:24 PDT 2004

I would like to comment on the last post. It is obvious it wasn't murder but if someone went out of the county there is something quite suspicious in the deal. Some kind of cover-up.


Mon Sep 13 05:56:10 PDT 2004

I would like to commit on the case of the lady choking and being sent to another county to avoid the coroner. It sure sounds to me that there was an honest conorer and that someone knows it was murder but is trying to cover-up. I think police and detectives have to be carefully trained to reveal all the cover-ups that are going on all over the world.


Sun Sep 12 16:51:49 PDT 2004

You you ever heard of a case where the victim allegedly choked to death, in this case pizza. But the husband called the ambulance and she was taken to another county so the coroner would not know the case. The death is ruled accidental but an autposy is ordered, after a legal fight. Results not know yet. Looking for a pattern for the first of the case--choking, take body to another county.

Wed Sep 8 19:17:25 PDT 2004

Sharon,
They do not have the time the bodies were released or to whom, all they have is the date of exam and the time and the place. Also the Dr who did the exam. Dr. Roe for Robert and Mike McGee for Ben. I do have a lawyer and am going to see him soon concerning this. In spite of all this evidence I have they still call it "suicide." Like you I am investigation poor as it seems noone cares about the parents or justice. I hired three detectives and spent countless painful hours investigating myself. I found out a lot on things from the things the media wrote as the story went from coast to coast. Next I will try to find Minnesota statutes. Thank you for your help.


Wed Sep 8 17:49:44 PDT 2004

Roberta, I don't understand about not getting the autopsy report from Dr. McGee. By law they must give them to you under the freedom of information act. By all rights I could write to the Medical examiner's office and receive them. If the case is closed then anyone in this country has the right to them.

I was asking you what time they released your sons bodies from the autopsy and who took custody of the bodies. They state that in every autopsy report. They have to!!! Don't let them railroad you. Demand the autopsy reports from the cops who have closed the case and have listed suicide as the cause of death. If they refuse, tell them if you have to get an attorney they will be paying for a lot more than a simple autopsy report. You have every right to know. They are handing you a line of BS. Just look up Minnesota statutes or your states statutes on the net all the laws are there for you to print out and throw in their faces. Hope this helps, Sharon aka Gregg's Mom


Wed Sep 8 14:33:34 PDT 2004

My answer to Sharon,
I did get medical reports from Ramsey Medical Center. The time both of my children "committed suicide" was 8:25. The date was 8/31/93 on Robert's autoposy. On my baby boy Ben's autoposy it says David Heindl had Ben's body at Heindl Funeral Home. Huuum, I wonder what happened to Robert's body?? I wonder why Ben's body was at Heindl's Funeral home at all? Ben's body at Heindl's funeral home on the same day they were killed??? It looks like according to reports my sons bodies were lying behind that old car on the recreational trail until 1:00p.m. Mike Roberts the investagator says, "Upon my arrival at the scene, I met Chief Deputy Gould coming out to the intersection on Spring Rd. He was in William Heindl's car. Mr. Heindl is the director of the funeral Home in Phillips. They had the boys bodies in the back of Mr. Heindl's vehicle. Another article says, "It states that the bodies were transported to Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office by Chief Deputy Tim Gould and Price County Coroner James Dalbesio because the medical examiner in Madison was on vacation. Wirsing (The sheriff at that time) said that he, Gould and other officers in his department are all involved in the investigation. If all these people investigated the case why can't they tell the truth-that it was a double murder? Another report says Ben's autoposy was 8/31/93. What kind of a Medical Establishment performs an autoposy two times on two different days? I am going to get these records together and send them to Mike. Maybe he can help "What goes around comes around."
So here is who had access to my sons bodies. Price County Police Timothy Gould, my X husband, Michael T. McGee, Heindl funeral home, James Dalbasio, Wayne Wirsing the Sheriff, Susan Roe who did Robert's autoposy the next day. Also the investigating officer Mike Roberts, also other officers in his department. I will never get written reports from Ramsey Medical Center. All that investigated knew there was more than one gun involved. Having to constantly strain with the LAW is tough on us mothers and is wrong and shouldn't be. I never wanted my children's bodies cremated. I never even got to see them when they were killed! I am thankful a wonderful lady is writing a book as more of these horrors have to come out into the eyes of the public. AND JUSTICE DONE FOR THE CHILDREN.

This question is for Roberta Moore, I was just wondering if you got the autopsy report from Ramsey County Medical Center in St. Paul? I know in our report it states who they turned the body of our son over to, which was Det. Bryan Green (Clay County Sheriff's office) and Officer Tom Taylor (Hawley Police dept), it also states that Gregg's body was then deliver to Vigen Wright Funeral home in Hawley. There should be a time that the bodies were given over to the custody whoever picked them up from Ramsey County Medical Center. On ours there was a time stated by the Ramsey Count Medical but no time of the delivery to the funeral home, which we found rather strange.

I have always said that there were 4 organizations that could have disposed or misused my son's organs and they are Clay County Sheriff's Dept, Hawley PD, Ramsey Medical Center or Vigen Wright Funeral home. Not one of them seems to know a thing. No one else had control of Gregg's body but these 4 organziations. One or all are responsible for the loss and damage to our son and yet no one there seems to think they have any responsibility to us or to answer any of questions. It seems we have to get an attorney to force the answers and we are attorney and Private investigator bankrupt. Sharon Meissner aka Gregg's Mom

Thank you Mike,
I am wondering how much politics actually effects murder cases being covered up. Here in Price County when my two children were killed the Police were busy fighting against each other. The Sheriff at that time and the lead detective were having lawsuits against each other which amounted to thousands of dollars to lawyers the county had to pay. Of course it was right at election time. They had no money to go after murderers as they were too busy fighting each other. Now it is election time again on September 14, 2004.

FROM DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE MICHAEL CORWIN, IN RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION BELOW:
Roberta,

I really appreciate your support. Yes, there are other democrats willing to support victim's rights. In the State House, where I'm running to be elected, Mimi Stewart and Danice Picraux have carried the victim's rights torch. They have fought the old boy network and changed New Mexico's laws on domestic violence. Were it not for them, there would be no statute against domestic violence, cops would still be arresting the victim along with the batterer and handing the victim a form to sign to get her not to prosecute. Further, batterers would be released from jail without notification to the victim or without providing the victim with enough time to secure a restraining order and seek help from a woman's shelter. These changes have all been accomplished within the past nine years.

This is a critical first step, since men in New Mexico kill their wives and girlfriends at a rate 85% greater than the national average. But more needs to be done so that all murders are investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and that victims will no longer be treated as criminals and criminals as victims.

I have talked to quite a few people in the legislature and they are aware of the press conference held by the 23 Real Crimes families and the important and hard work that those families have done. Mindsets are being changed. But we all need to keep the pressure on by refusing to accept things as they are. Most important of all is to remember that those in the government work "for the people" and those that forget that fundamental law of our land need to be held accountable.

Mike Corwin


Thu Sep 2 14:32:57 PDT 2004

Hello Mike,
This is Roberta. I would like to say that I am very happy that you will represent the victims. I will sure vote for you. The victims and their families everyday live in fear of their elected officials.
Can you let us know if there is anyone else in the democratic party who will help the victims? Is there anyway we can get the police and elected officials to help root corruption out of Government? God bless you Mike!


Thu Sep 2 11:07:50 PDT 2004

As mentioned several posts down, Real Crimes is sponsoring Michael Corwin as the Democratic candidate for the New Mexico House of Representatives, District 31 in Albuqueque. Mike is running on a theme of victims' rights and rooting corruption out of government.

If any of you have questions for Mike Corwin, please, post them here. He has agreed to respond to them on this message board.


Mon Aug 30 01:21:10 PDT 2004

[From:Kelndeb2000@hotmail.com] oh my god! i can hardly beleive what i just read. it seems like science fiction if it didn't happen every day. i admire all of the people who have the courage to come forward to set the record straight, to right the wrongs that have been done to the victims and their families. may you find some peace somewhere and in the end what goes around does come around and may god have mercy on their souls.


Sun Aug 29 06:30:09 PDT 2004

This is Roberta. The Mike I was talking about is part of the "Twisted Badge." mike@twistedbadge.com . His last name is Madigan. Here is what he says: "What goes around comes around!"
May God bless the "Twisted Badge" detectives! Also all the honest Police and Detectives that do care for the people!


Sun Aug 29 04:01:17 PDT 2004

I'm confused. Who is "Mike of the Twisted Badge"? Is that the same Mike Corwin who the Real Crimes web site is supporting for office or a different Mike?


Sat Aug 28 15:19:56 PDT 2004

I believe there is a way! We as people to whom the democracy is supposed to be for have to do a lot of the work as I found out the hard way. We can help by "going over all with a fine-toothed comb"
For those who are running for office to carefully check their records. We can "demand" people who care about others to work for our best interest and the "best interest" of our beloved children.
Like Mike of "Twisted Badge" it is our responsibility to look into thier beliefs. What we need is some more people like Mike who care enough to do the painstaking work of "Getting to the bottom" of some of these cases! My prayer is that more will be done to help the many people that live in fear of the law. Many of the counties and towns are having their elections and the Presidental Election coming up is important for the people. Thank you Twisted Badge Mike for your help! May God bless you and may many people vote for you! We also need to "screen" their beliefs because we can't always tell by which party they go by.


Sat Aug 28 13:10:05 PDT 2004

You are right when you say "There are many good ways in the world of forensics and crime detection" to solve cases like the ones on this web site. The problem is that only local police departments have the authority to conduct such investigations. If for any reason (laziness, inaptitude, or a deliberate cover-up to protect the killers) police choose not to perform a thorough and/or honest investigation, there is no way for the victims' families to force them to do so.

That's what has occurred in most of these cases.


Fri Aug 27 10:45:53 PDT 2004

The facts are there but need to be brought to public attention. There are many people who love the ones that are gone and many prayers for the relatives of all who were killed. The facts need to be brought out in public and in a court of law. Now there are many good ways in the world of forensics and crime detection. There are many cold cases solved every week on T.V. May cases have been solved even after many years. There is hope in God for all to be solved.


Fri Aug 27 06:33:29 PDT 2004

Robert, Ben, and Lisa and all these young lives are so sad. You must trust in God that you will get the answers. In the mean time be the best person you can and by your actions people will listen .A few sites get very emotional and don't stick to the facts..you can't accuse people without facts.

FROM REAL CRIMES:

Michael Corwin, the private investigator for the Melanie McCracken, Stephanie Houston, Crystal Houston, Troy Pino and Gabino Gallegos cases (all of which are on this web site) is running on the Democratic ticket for New Mexico House Representative, District 31, in Albuquerque. He is running on a theme of victims' rights and rooting corruption out of government. Needless to say, he has our total support. Even the Republicans among us here at Real Crimes are stepping outside the box in this particular instance.

Mike's opponent, Greg Payne, had warrants out for his arrest for 15 months during his only term on the city council, as well as three ethics complaints. He has been arrested for domestic violence and for violating a restraining order and has been sued three times by his landlord for non-payment of rent. This is not a person who will be helpful to crime victims.

If you aren't eligible to vote in District 31, (north of Montgomery, east of Eubank, up to the county line, with the exception of Tanoan) but would still like to support Mike's campaign, contributions can be made to:

I just read the report on Robert and Ben's murder...I am so sorry...what a nightmare! I am a friend of Ronda Reynold's mother..so we sure do know the reality of your story...and the helpless feeling when you are trying to fight the system. I will be praying for justice for you and your boys...don't give up! sometimes we feel like God puts everything on hold for awhile..then all of a sudden something comes to light. Just remember that He knows what happened...no one gets off scott free. Bless you ...stay strong...we all need strength to get to the truth!!

Good morning everyone,
I just wanted to tell everyone that the good-old-boy network is quite strong and what chance does a woman have against the good-old-boys? I think I will just put it in the hands of God. The God of love. Roberta


Wed Aug 4 09:23:57 PDT 2004

The police talked to Lisa today due to my calling them about concerns and that John Moore needs to be questioned. The Sheriff and Chris Jarosinski came. They said the case is still closed and asked me what was to be done with the old car that had been in the impound yard for almost 11 years. I told the Sheriff I will talk to the detective and see what he says. Isn't sad that our law doesn't care for our precious children? They didn't even care to question him about the spent shell that he said he found in the kids riding lawnmower seat! And Mike McGee I do wonder how long he is practicing not to know what kind of gun was used! Do you think I am ready to call it quits????Not on your life!


Tue Aug 3 19:53:19 PDT 2004

Lisa's friend's mother won't let her daughter come over to my house to play with Lisa because I do not agree with the Watchtower teachings of fear!


Mon Aug 2 14:12:15 PDT 2004

Thanks for ranting Sharon,
They have absolutely no clue on loosing a child that way.
I had no clue my children's bodies were sent to Ramsey Medical Center for parts (eyes) Does anyone know how to get ahold of Mike McGee Pathologist?
I want to ask him some questions. Also by the way the parents of my daughter Lisa's J.W. friends wn't allow their children to come into my house.


Mon Aug 2 10:24:16 PDT 2004

This is Sharon, Gregg's Mom. I have to ask why do people always tell us that we have to get on with life, put it away, Gregg wouldn't want you to be like this, you've got to move on etc etc. I get up in the morning, I breath, eat, go to work, sleep, the same things everyone else does. Guess that would be getting on with life and moving on the best we can. Gregg knew that we would be like this. He knew him and his brother were loved more than anything else in this whole world. As far as put it away. What is that supposed to mean anyway? Where do we put it or do they mean that we have to forget Gregg even existed? What to hell does everyone expect from us? They want us to help others. We do try to help other victims, maybe not as much as Lois and other people in the world but we do try. The question for them is, What are they doing to help others? They don't have to deal with someone they have loved being murdered and then being walked all over by the very system that was supposed to help.

The next comment is usually, I can't imagine what you are going through but let me tell you if it had been my kid, I would have killed him right then and there.

I want to say to them, HOW DARE YOU? HOW DARE YOU COME TO ME WITH YOUR RELIGIOUS CRAP AND THEN TURN YOUR BACK ON US!!! HOW DARE YOU ASSUME THAT YOU LOVED YOUR CHILD MORE THAN WE DID!!!!

If anyone else is angry maybe it is time to let the rest of society know that unless this happens to them, they have no idea what they would do or how they would get on with it, so to speak.

Thanks for letting me rant. I do feel a little better now.



Sun Aug 1 14:45:25 PDT 2004

We know that in another day and another time we will see those we love so much. Those of us who have lost children deal so bad because that isn't supposed to happen. What we would like to have investigated is what actually happened and why. We need our questions answered-not just forgotten and called suicide. We really need to know the truth and then we know we can deal with it. The Bible promises two resurrections-a resurrection of the just and the unjust. Even though some have made serious mistakes and killed someone else there is hope with the Bible. They will get to live another time as a human baby under God's Kingdom. God promised that he will give them a new heart and remove their heart of stone. Some day all will be before the throne of God! There will be none lost.


Sun Aug 1 11:59:24 PDT 2004

As a parent I can only say that we have to hold on to the hope we once again will see our loved ones on the other side. But in this lifetime I don't know how one copes when justice is denied other than keep on fighting. It takes countless hours and finding the right person with the expertise and willingness to help you find the answers. There are good honest people in this world who if you can find them will help you. navigate your way. Some people just say let good of the pain and hurt and move on with your life but it's hard when you wake up in the dead of night with all the unanswered questions and the horror of what happened to your loved one. It especially must be devestating when it's a young life as it was in the case of your sons.


Sun Aug 1 06:28:53 PDT 2004

August 4, 2004 will be my baby boy's Birthday. Ben Moore would be 21 on this date. Birthdays are so painful and they keep coming. Not only Birthdays but the 11 year of their murders is coming August 30, 2004. Then on December 14, 2004 will be Roberts Birthday. Robert will be 25. How does one cope with such a loss and no answers and no justice?


Sat Jul 31 18:50:47 PDT 2004

Sat Jul 31 18:27:17 PDT 2004

How did you find out it was Price County?


Sat Jul 31 10:56:04 PDT 2004

Good afternoon everyone,
I have an update on the double murder of my two chlldren Robert and Ben Moore. I found out it wasn't my X husband who donated my children's bodies to Ramsey Medical Center but the Coroner from Price County, Jim Dalbasio. No wonder there was no inquest on those two boys who were found murdered behind that old car on the recreational trail. Price County needs to have many inquests, as I have said before, into all the suspicious suicides that happen in Price County.


Fri Jul 30 07:40:28 PDT 2004

I would like to comment to Sharon. I too called Bob. He was supposed to call me back yesturday. I waited all day and got no response. I finally called back and left a message. No one ever called.


Fri Jul 30 07:08:20 PDT 2004

Gail, we did get a private investigator and we ended up paying an attorney to sue Padden for wrongful death. We did get some information but not $100,000. worth. That is what we ended up spending with everything. The PI was the worst investment of all. he showed us how to wire ourselves and to hide a camera in our house, that is about all we got out of him. If you want to do the same go to Radio Schack they can do the same thing for about $300. not $8,000 which is what we ended up paying him.

We have contacted many of the programs mentioned and they seem interested but we never get a date and then they just seem to forget about us. I guess murders and wrongful prosecution isn't that big of deal in the United States anymore.

This week I've taken a whole new look at things. Tuesday I got called in for a drug test, they came into my work, took me out under protest and forced me to take a drug test. I now have information to prove they have never done this to anyone but me. This is discrimination to the max and I am frightened. If they can cover up a murder of a boy then they can surely tamper with a drug test. I have been collectiing all the evidence I can against this drug test and have some pretty good things on tape from the phone calls I have made and received. They won't send me anything in writing and took my receipt for the test from me. I know taking the receipt from me, makes it null and void anyway. They can change things on the receipt and change the numbers to make sure they get a dirty test to coincide with the numbers. This incident happened the day after I had written to Bob McNaney. We are going to find out exactly why all this has happened to Gregg and us or die trying. BTW, on Monday I am quitting my job, I have sold out for too long. Trying to act like a good little girl in hopes someone will see that we are not the people they make us out to be. They have just created a monster and that would be me and Steve.


Thu Jul 29 16:03:55 PDT 2004

I was told by Bill Heindl that cremation records were destroyed in seven years. This is not so and I found a site to prove they can never be destroyed.

Hugs to you too Roberta. Keep fighting! Keep us all posted and God bless.
Gail


Wed Jul 28 18:29:36 PDT 2004

Today I called Bob. I had emailed him but hadn't heard back from him. He was very interested in what happened to my two sons Robert and Benjamin Moore. Thank you Gail for listing his number and email address. I am sorry for all the pain you and your family have had from trying to find elusive justice. It is good to have others who have gone through this to communicate with. We can all comfort each other and hopefully lighten the load for each one of us. I am glad you keep going and never quit. Sharon too. This is for everyone who can't seem to find any light in their cases. Bob is going to talk to me tomorrow! By the way in case you haven't guessed this is Roberta


Wed Jul 28 15:30:15 PDT 2004

I'm so glad you got a hold of Bob McNaney Sharon. I posted his number.

I hope Bob is able to look into the procedures at Ramsey County Medical Examiner's office. We have so many unanswered questions on how Ramsey County conducts autopsies. We just don't have the money to hire a private investigator to dig and press for the information. 2 1/2 years of legal bills and the expense of a jury trial have bankrupt us. We lost our business and are facing personal bankruptcy and the loss of everything we own. We fought for the truth and wouldn't give up. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. Medical Examiner's are not gods...they do make mistakes...they do cut corners.
Best wishes. I hope you find justice for your son. Hugs!
Gail....Justin's mom.


Wed Jul 28 09:46:52 PDT 2004

Thank you to the person or persons that put Bob McNaney's phone #s on this message board. I have been in contact with him this morning and hopefully there is a story worth doing here. Sharon aka Gregg's Mom


Wed Jul 28 07:34:59 PDT 2004

I would like to commit on statutes. Is it true that all cremation records are destroyed in seven years?


Mon Jul 26 04:42:47 PDT 2004

I am sorry for the evil that has become your family Sharon. There is no reason your beautiful boy should be dead and parts of him in jars in Ramsey Medical Center. My prayer is that there will be justice for Gregg and all the murdered children on the realcrime site! I would still like to see what that creep McGee looks like. I have a couple of really good physics and I would like to show them the picture. You said you have a picture of him from TV. If you have a digital camera would you mind taking a picture and sending it to me? Parts of my boys are in there too.


Sun Jul 25 17:39:49 PDT 2004

I would send a pic of Dr. Michael McGee but cannot find one on the net. I spent only one afternoon looking but only saw the articles about him.

Today is Gregg's golden birthday. We spent the day with a couple that are true friends. They helped us clean out Gregg's room. I found the bday card we had given him 7 years ago on his 18th bday less than six months before his murder.

Today was a very tough day but cleaning the room was a big hurdle for us. It is a bit empty in this house now and still whole lot of empty in our minds and souls.

Thank you to all that are brave enough to come forward to tell what they know about Dr. McGee. Hopefully someday we will know what happened to the rest of our son. My biggest fear is that they threw his organs away. I kept saying after his murder that everyone in law enforcement and the legal process treated Gregg like trash. I guess that is exactly what they thought he was. THEY ARE WRONG and we will prove it.

Many thanks to Lois and everyone that comes to this site. Lois and her husband have done everything in their power to help us and maybe someday we will get the only thing we have left to do for our son and that is to set the record straight on who and what he is and was.

One last thing I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREGG!!! We love you very very much. No one can throw that away.
Sharon Meissner aka Gregg's Mom


Sun Jul 25 15:07:45 PDT 2004

Our son was found innocent at a jury trial. The jury took about ten minutes to reach their decision. We had jury members contact us after the trial and tell us how they couldn't believe our son was even taken to trial. The deceased was a heavy drug abuser. He was fighting with everyone in the bar. He had stripped down to a stap undershirt even though it was 20 degrees below zero that night. The last person he was fighting with our son's friend a Marine home from Bosnia. The deceased had gotten the Marine's brother into drugs and they were exchanging words. The deceased and the Marine were told to take it outside by the bartender so they were heading out the door. The deceased was first out the door and the Marine would have been next but a girl grabbed him at the door and pulled him aside. My son and a group of kids were heading out the door. My son was now first out the door. The deceased headed towards him to hit him so my son defended himself and hit him once on the cheek as he came towards him. That was it. The kid went down and later died. Dr. Roe tried to say this one minor blow that didn't even show a bruise until lividity set in transected the vertebral artery causing massive bleeding in the brain. If this would have happened then antemortem thrombis would have formed which it didn't which Dr. Roe stated when asked by our pathologist. There are many questions from the autospy but what we really don't understand is how Dr. Roe after she has resigned from Ramsey County was able to take the autopsy materials from Ramsey County and tamper with them? Dr. Michael McGee was with our pathologist Dr. Friedlander when Dr. Friedlander viewed the autopsy materials and Dr. McGee knew what happened while Dr. Friedlander was at Ramsey County. Yet he lets Dr. Roe tamper with evidence. Why wasn't Dr. Roe observed when she handled the autopsy materials? There are many ethical questions and perhaps criminal actions were allowed to happen. We want to know what are the checks and balances for evidence held at Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office. Why did Dr. Roe leave Ramsey County's employement? Were there issues with her work? Were there issues because we were challenging her autopsy? Who preserves the integrity of materials obtained during autopsy? What safeguards are in place? Did anyone check the autopsy materials before Dr. Roe took them out of Ramsey? Did anyone check them after she returned them? Who knew she took them from Ramsey? Did Dr. McGee know? The trial hadn't even started then, how can this have occured? The autopsy was done on Christmas eve and we fear it was short cut. The pictures from the autopsy stop with Dr. Roe removing the brain from the cavity. Yet she claims she photographed this transection of the vertebral artery. If she suspected a transection she should have used dye and photographed it. It is very difficult if not impossible to to see without careful investigation. This is a very complicated case but we hope someone will look into procedures at Ramsey County and see how the office is run. Maybe talk with former employees and find out what really goes on. Dr. Roe currently has a Bush Fellowship and is working at Regina Medical Center. She was an expert "paid" witness in the Kirby Puckett case...expertise for hire.


Sat Jul 24 16:56:11 PDT 2004

Thank you for your information on how to contact Bob Mcnaney. Can you tell me about your case that you had trouble with McGee and Roe.
I pray information will be revealed and that you can find closure and justice will be found for your son.

I need information on how to contact Bob McNaney from TV KSTP in Minneapolis. Can anyone give me telephone number and address? I have a lot of questions to ask him as my two sons were murdered and the autoposies done by Michael McGee and my other son Robert had an autoposy done by Susan Roe.


Fri Jul 23 18:55:20 PDT 2004

Our family had an experience with Dr. Susan Roe and Dr. Michael McGee in the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office. (The website listed on the message board is not the correct Micheal McGee.)

We contend that Susan Roe did a Christmas Eve autopsy. She tried to say that a slight blow to a cheek caused a transection (important word)of the veterbral artery resulting in subarachnoid hemmorhage which resulted in death. We believe that she was so sure she knew what happened that she short cut the autopsy.The young man was a meth/cocaine drug user and we contend it was a drug death. He was fighting with everyone in the bar, took off his shirt before he went outside even though it was 20 below zero. A classic case of excited delirium.It's a very long complicated story but we obtained a nationally known pathologist Dr. Ed Friedlander(The Pathology Guy on the net) who took the case pro bono. Dr. Roe would not cooperate with sharing the information from the autopsy with Dr. Friedlander. Dr. Friedlander also asked Dr. Roe in a letter if she had observed any antemortem thrombis a pivotal question. Dr. Roe said she had not observed any antemortem thrombis which then proved to Dr. Friedlander that indeed the artery couldn't have been transected. We finally got a court order to obtain the material and all of a sudden Dr. Roe no longer worked at Ramsey County. She had resigned. Dr. Friedlander was then able to visit Ramsey County and view the autopsy materials always with someone present, including at one point Dr. McGee. Dr. Friedlander then discovered the vertebral artery had never been transected! He also commented on what a mangled mess the speciem was in due to a sloppy removal process. Now this is where it gets strange. Somehow Dr. Roe who was no longer employeed at Ramsey County is somehow able to come into Ramsey County and check out the autopsy materials. She then trys to photograph some probe in the artery which she says proves the artery was transected. Oh and now part of the artery comes up missing.

Bob McNaney from KSTP in Minneapolis is interested in finding out any information you might have on Dr. Susan Roe or Dr. Michael McGee. Please contact him if you have any experiences with Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office. We have many questions. What protections do they have for preserving the integrity of autopsy materials? What evidence chain of command do they have? Who checks their work? What kind of staffing do they have? How can people(employees or former employees) take autopsy materials out of their facility that may potentially be evidence in a homicide case? Where these materials even signed in or out? Who is watching the Medical Examiner's?

Dear DG,
I am sorry to hear about your cousin. I would like to tell you that there are a lot of people on this site that care very much and would like to help. If you could write in the the site administator and tell him/her the details of her story it is quite possible someone may know something that will help solve this. No one should just be forgotten. (I am a mother too and I sure understand the pain of cases being covered up)

Re: Kaitlyn Arquette case:

On the home page, go to the blurb introducing the Kaitlyn Arquette case and click on the "Update: APD Cold Case Squad Reopen's Kait's Case." It took that family 15 years to make that happen. If this can happen with one case, it can happen for us all! We just have to keep hanging in there!

If you are really the daughter of Ms. Harris...why don't you use your name? Does anyone on this original web even know WHO Diana Harris is? Is her story on this web? No...your point? And, why don't you put your message on BOTH?


Thu Jul 15 16:09:05 PDT 2004

Mr. Web Master, It is better for everyone to know this and not just the Stumps who do not tell the truth.


Thu Jul 15 14:36:42 PDT 2004

The daughter of Diana Harris posted correctly the first time she posted, if it's really her she should enter that important message directly where it belongs. Not hiding behind no password needed to post.


Thu Jul 15 14:34:13 PDT 2004

Why is the person posting about Stump not using the Stump board directly? What else are they hiding?


Thu Jul 15 03:59:06 PDT 2004

Please inform Mrs. Stump that the Becker family has never gotten in touch with me nor threatened me.Thankyou, Daughter of Diane Harris

This is a wonderful site. I am so happy that I ran across it. I read a lot of things about Michael McGee. Does anyone know if this Michael McGee is the same man who is a pathologist for Ramsey Medical Center?

At times, years later someone will come forward to tell what they know. When detectives leave the force, the neighborhood clears out of certain people, moving or dying comes is when it's easier to come forward and be direct with the complete truth.

Living a daily happy life can be a task when you have something on your mind as important as your own born son. It takes a toll on your private moments and can make things harder to keep living with some small happiness.

But never forget that things could come your way, that one person can make the difference, that hearts soften over time and keep praying that someone will have the courage to face the truth and shout it! They will be willing to go the one step more...

Keep up your faith in this case and smile when you think of your loved ones and all your great memories.

Your pal...

Natalie Wagner case: Michael Quigley, aka Michael Austin, is an officer in Mukwonago, WI. A number of citizens in that area have contacted the Wagners through this website to let them know of a number of instances when Austin has been harassing them, their family members and being heavy-handed in investigations. So far, complaints to the village chief and other officials have gotten no where.

MAN NOT GUILTY OF HOMICIDE: DEAD WOMAN’S FATHER SAYS DA “THREW THE CASE”
By Joline Gutierrez Krueger

A jury declined to convict a Socorro man of purposely driving over his girlfriend with a truck trailer, but the dead woman's father says the fight isn't over.

Patrick Murillo, 42, was found not guilty Wednesday of vehicular homicide after a jury deliberated about two hours. Murillo - a married man, plumber and occasional musician - was accused of becoming enraged with Stephanie Houston the night of Feb. 27, 2000, at the Red Carpet Bar in Los Chavez, then crushing her under his trailer as she walked away from the bar south on N.M. 314. The trial, which began Monday, was moved to Grants from Valencia County under a change of venue motion. Murillo and his attorney, Thomas Esquibel, could not be reached for comment.

"We're disappointed with the decision of the jury, but we respect their decision," 13th District Attorney Lemuel Martinez said on behalf of prosecutor Joe Arite. "We're happy we brought this case to trial so that the defendant can go on with his life and the victim's family can try to find some closure, at least from a legal standpoint."

But Bill Houston said the case is far from closure. "The DA threw the case," Houston said from his home in Socorro. "He didn't call witnesses he should have called."

Albuquerque private investigator Mike Corwin, who worked on the case, agreed that those witnesses were crucial to a conviction. "While we must accept the jury's ruling, I believe that they would have found Patrick Murillo guilty had the jury heard testimony that Stephanie sought a restraining order against Murillo just two days prior to her death," Corwin said. Others would have testified about seeing Stephanie beaten a day before her death and taken to the hospital several times in the past after beatings, he said. Another witness was supposed to have testified that Stephanie had an appointment the next day at a battered women's shelter, Houston said.

But Martinez said the case was tried the best way it could be. "It's important to note that we had to present this case to a jury as soon as we could, given the length of time between when it happened and when it went to trial," he said. "It would not wait much longer."

Martinez agreed to reopen the case at Bill Houston's relentless urgings four years after his daughter's death. Before then, Bill Houston and Corwin said, officials had failed to look at the domestic violence that preceded the death of the 27-year-old convenience store clerk and single mother.

State Police had concluded that she had been killed accidentally when she tried to jump into Murillo's truck but fell. Their investigation was led by retired Lt. Mark McCracken, who has been suspected of killing his wife, Melanie, in 1995. A first-degree murder indictment against McCracken was thrown out on a technicality in May, but Special Prosecutor Randall Harris has vowed to seek a second indictment. A preliminary hearing is expected in November.

Bill Houston and Nancy Grice, Melanie McCracken's mother, collected petition signatures earlier this year seeking a grand jury investigation into allegations that government employees and others paid by the public improperly investigated both cases.
The petition was filed in April in Valencia County. A judge is expected to decide when to convene the grand jury.

Houston said he is prepared to take his daughter's case to a federal level. He also said charges against Murillo involving an unrelated crime also could be pending. And he vows that this case will be one of Arite's and Martinez's last.

"He might as well know he's out," Bill Houston said of Martinez, who is running for re-election this November. "They threw this case. They threw it big time."


Thu Jun 24 10:33:11 PDT 2004

Stephanie Houston Case.
Bill, I just read the verdict printed in the Albquerque Journal. I'm so sorry. There's no doubt in my mind that your beautiful daughter was murdered by this man. He may have gotten off in the court but he won't get by with it in the end. There will come a day of reckoning, he won't be able to get out of that one. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I don't know how or when but, one day it will become known nation wide about the corrupt state of NM. Someone in a high office who can do something about it will stand up and take notice of how law enforcement can disregard evidence, destroy case files and evidence, close cases without fully investigating that they don't want to deal with, chalking them up to accidental deaths or suicides, favor friends or fellow cops who commit crimes and cover up for them. If just one of the 'BIG powers that be' would snap to the fact that this corruption right here in our own country lends itself to easy pickins for terrorists maybe then they will do something. It's almost like living in another country as far as how crimes are handled and how victims families are treated. Believe me, if our names were Kennedy, Heinze, Vanderbuilt or such, our cases would have been solved years ago. The troops from any and all forces would have been called out. Too bad the regular work-a-day folks don't warrant equal rights to justice.
My family sends their love to you and yours. We will keep praying that all our cases will see justice done.

I would like to comment on the Gregg Meissner case. I would very much like to see a picture of the coroner and pathologist Michael McGee. Could you possibly send me one Sharon?


Tue Jun 22 05:38:36 PDT 2004

I would like to comment on the case of my children Robert and Ben Moore. Even though I had the wrong Michael McGee it doesn't change the facts. I do not know if Michael McGee took my childrens organs but I do know that I have no clue where their bodies are. I also know noone has any cremation permits as I called both the Coroner Jim Dalbasio and Heindl's funeral Home and my lawyer called the Rhinelander crematorium and they have no records. The Hillside Cemetary also has no records. How many other people have no idea what happened to their loved ones bodies?

To Kait Arquette's mom, Lois Duncan,

I heard your talk at the conference and was blown away. I definitely want a copy of it. And not just because you wrote I Know What You Did Last Summer. Your talk contained everything all of us want to express.

from a long-time fan of your teenage suspense novels who is also a homicide servivor

From Lois Duncan Arquette (mother of Kaitlyn Arquette, whose case is on this web site):

A catch-up note for those with an interest in what transpired at the New Mexico Survivors of Homicide Conference in Albuquerque last week.

The conference was very well organized but emotionally overwhelming, with so much grief and anger confined in one room. About 150 people attended. About half were Native American, caravanning in from the Navajo Reservation and the pueblos. Those participants were disappointed that there were no members of the FBI or BOIA on the panels. I'm sure that will be remedied next year.

If any of you want a copy of my keynote talk, send an e-mail c/o Real Crimes, and they will send you a copy as an e-mail attachment. Mine was the first presentation of the day and set the tone for the rest of the conference. Everybody was primed to pummel the law-enforcement panel with challenging questions, which many of them neatly ducked, but a few expressed willingness to consult with the families personally at a later time. The representatives from the Office of the Medical Examiner seemed particularly receptive.

There was a vacancy in the judges' panel, because Chief Judge John Brennan was arrested on Memorial Day for drunk driving and possession of cocaine.

For those of you who attended -- it was wonderful seeing you there. For those New Mexico homicide survivors who couldn't make it -- please, consider attending next year. NMSOH is a good organization, and I believe they have the ability to accomplish things that few of us can accomplish alone. For those survivors out-of-state -- you might want to look into the possibility of organizing a similar function in your own area.

And -- for those of you who care, but are lucky enough not to be eligible for this organization -- please, keep us all in your prayers.

Lois Duncan Arquette

Mon May 31 13:42:38 PDT 2004

I see where the whistle-blower newsletter/website, The Twisted Badge, has launched a new series of articles titled “Corruption in New Mexico.” Will they be featuring cases from the Real Crimes site?

Response:We've given them permission to do so if they choose to.

You need to go through your web documents. I noticed one person's office police statement has his name and social security number ...identity thief....Nevada case.

Connie,

Is there evidence that he didn't commit suicide? What do you think really happened to him.


Fri May 21 13:11:00 PDT 2004

I was really glad to see this site. In 1997 my Uncle was found to have commited suicide.
This was in a small town in Dickson TN. I have tried for the past seven years to get someone to listen to my story.
What do you have to do?
I guess you must wait until someone else gets hurt and maybe they will listen.
If anyone has any suggestions as to where to complain, and who will listen I would be glad to know.
Thank you

Connie

Re: NATALIE WAGNER CASE I am now a citizen where Mr. Austin is a police officer. I am outraged by the fact that I am paying a murderer to protect and serve me. My family and I have been repeatly harrassed by Mr. Austin. He has threated my brother and made it so that his girlfriend and I can barely sleep at night. We rarely go out at night by ourselves. Which is hard due to the fact that she has to be to work early in the morning. My brother girlfriend and her sister bare a resemblence to Natalie. And when we were told about Natalie's story on this web site we were totally shocked. Sense then I tell everyone who will listen Natalie's story. We have are already in the proccess of seeking Legal counsel because of the harrassment. Feel free to contact me at JoAngel@wi.rr.com Danielle

REQUEST FOR YOUR HELP: MELANIE MCCRACKEN HOMICIDE CASE

Please, send a letter or e-mail to District Attorney Lemuel Martinez, demanding that he not drop the Melanie McCracken case because of a technicality that had nothing to do with guilt or innocence.

DA Lemuel Martinez's e-mail is LMartinez@da.state.nm.us.
His telephone number is 505-285-4627. His mailing address is PO Box 647, Grants, NM 87020.
The requests do not necessarily need to come from New Mexico.

You'll find a description of this case on this web site. It took Melanie's mother, Nancy Grice, eight years to get her daughter's case in front of a grand jury. That grand jury indicted Melanie's husband, New Mexico Police Lt. Mark McCracken, for first degree murder and evidence tampering. They also requested that another grand jury be empaneled to investigate the conduct of the members of the NM State Police Department, (McCracken's own subordinates), who performed the corrupt investigation. The case was scheduled to go to trial in July. Then, last week, charges were abruptly dismissed because an assistant in the courtroom, helping to distribute paperwork to the jury, had taken part in the investigation.

Charges against McCracken were dismissed "without prejudice," meaning the state has the power to go back to Square One and bring the case before another grand jury if they choose to do so. Please, help make sure that they do that. Nancy has struggled long and hard to get her daughter's case brought to trial. It mustn't be allowed to fall through because of a stupid blunder on the part of the prosecutor.

RE: Robert and Ben Moore Case:

It seems to me that i have read not too long ago about other cases where the organs were retained and either donated or sold to other institutions for research purposes. The bodies were buried without these organs. Perhaps the kitty litter was added to compensate for the missing organs? I need to think about where i heard of it.

As far as Roberta Moore's memories of the cremains, the ashes normally look like chunks about the size of pebbles not wood ashes, unless you request them to be in a wood ash type formula so they can be scattered. I looked at my daughter's ashes once and they definitely did not look like wood ashes. Maybe this aspect is not significant.

I would suggest that Roberta try to contact "forensl" - forensic experts and ask if she can add questions re the forensic aspects of her children's deaths on their website which would be answered by forensic experts. We found it helpful. She may need to become a member - but it doesn't costanything and it may clear up some of her questions.

Lastly, my heart goes out to Roberta. we all know how it is to lose our loved ones, and to try to deal with the devastation of that loss while still trying to find the truth about obvious questionable investigation and conclusions. I do believe she will be able to get justice, as I believe many of us will. I know she can't stop until the truth comes out, whatever it is. Be strong.

A (HOPEFULLY TEMPORARY) SETBACK ON THE MELANIE MCCRACKEN CASE:

Murder charges against former New Mexico State Police officer Mark McCracken, accused of killing his wife, Melanie, in August 1995, were dismissed Friday because of a prosecutorial error.

State District Judge William Sanchez dismissed the indictment without prejudice, meaning the state can bring the case before another grand jury or present it to a judge at a preliminary hearing. The special prosecutor in the case says it's but a "hiccup" in the process.

Defense attorneys for McCracken filed a motion last month asking that the indictment be quashed because of the presence of an investigator in the room during grand jury proceedings in October. Special prosecutor Randall Harris did not contest the motion, and on Friday state District Judge William Sanchez in Los Lunas ordered the indictment thrown out. The case had been scheduled for a month-long trial starting July 5.

"It was a technical glitch with the grand jury indictment," Harris said. "It didn't have anything to do with guilt or innocence."

Harris said he made a mistake when he allowed Allan Farkas, an investigator with the District Attorney's Office in Valencia County, to be in the grand jury room. Farkas, he said, was helping to hand out paperwork to jurors. "There's no allegation of impropriety on his part," Harris said. "You know, Randall Harris made a mistake, pure and simple. It's not fatal. This is nothing. This is a hiccup." Harris vowed to have McCracken re-indicted before July 31 but said he has not decided whether to go before a second grand jury or ask for a preliminary hearing.

State Police conducted the investigation into Melanie’s death, even though one of their own had been involved.

Reports indicate that McCracken, then a State Police sergeant, told fellow officers he had been rushing his 24-year-old wife to a hospital when the crash occurred. He said he had found his wife face-down in their bedroom in Bosque Farms. She had terminal leukemia, he said. An autopsy report found no cancer but did indicate she had defense wounds and bruises in various stages of healing.

Melanie McCracken's mother, Nancy Grice, fought for eight years to have her daughter's death reinvestigated. Last year, District Attorney Lemuel Martinez named Harris as special prosecutor. McCracken was indicted by a Valencia County grand jury Oct. 31 on charges of first-degree murder and tampering with evidence.

NATALIE WAGNER CASE, (from Melinda Wagner, Natalie's mother):

karen- thank you for your thoughts and condolences. what we're after is justice - that is, we want the truth about what happened. if natalie, in fact, committed suicide, we can accept that. we do know, however, that the police changed the scene. this is unforgivable. i believe quigley convinced the first on the scene that she'd committed suicide and that he looked guilty and they fixed it. then, later when they found out he had been lying about his actions that night, it was too late to go back and un-fix it. now, we believe it will be nearly impossible to actually get justice. we will not give up.

we were very proud that our daughter decided to become an officer. she
loved the work and looked forward to going to work every day. it's too bad that these rotten apples with no morals have to sully the profession.

again, thank you for your thoughts.


Wed May 5 18:00:56 PDT 2004

To the Wagner family:

I'm not even sure how I stumbled on this website, but I saw the story about your daughter Natalie. I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss, and the whole incident is just unbelievable. It seems so obvious Michael Quigley is responsible. He certainly seems to be a very sick and disturbed individual considering this actions with Natalie's teeth.

I am the wife of a police officer and I also worked in law enforcement as a dispatcher for many years. Even though cops seems to take care of their own, I can't believe any police department would sweep something like this under the rug. I'm sorry your family is the victim of something that seems very underhanded. You have my sympathy and hope that Natalie's killer will eventually be brought to justice.

I was very distressed when I found out Michael McGee the Pathologist did an autoposy for my son Benjamin Moore who was 10 years old. His assistant Susan Roe did the autoposy for my other son Robert Moore.
When I found out at the crematorium from Bill Heindl of Heindl's funeral home in Phillips Wis. that my sons were cremated in Rhinelander Wis I also found out that there needed to be both signatures of BOTH parents in order to cremate a child. When my friend called Rhinelander Crematorium she was told there were records kept there. We went there to see and there were no records at all. I then searched and found Michael McGee on a search engine. Then I searched for organs I found

Kait Arquette's Family:

Wasn't your family also threatened?

What was the APD attitude when your family was threatened?

Was it ever investigated who made the threats?

Response: THE ARQUETTE FAMILY RESPONDS:

The first threats were by the sister of Miguel Garcia, the Hispanic suspect arrested for Kait's murder. (Police arrested him on fabricated evidence and the DA refused to prosecute.) Garcia's sister said, "That girl was a bitch and deserved to die, but my brother's not the one who did it. You're going to die for getting my brother in trouble. We're going to come kill you." Police told us to attach a tape recorder to the phone. They said there had to be three additional death threats before they could intercede. At that point they would "tell Ms. Garcia to stop harassing you."

The other death threats came after my book, WHO KILLED MY DAUGHTER?, was published. Those threats were anonymous by people with Vietnamese accents.

From Kait Arquette's Family,

Short answers to the questions below:

Link between Kait Arquette and Peter Klunck cases: The VW bug that witnesses saw flee the scene of Kait's shooting went straight to an auto repair shop(alleged chop shop for stolen vehicles). That body shop, a half a block north of the scene, was a hangout for a group of rogue cops,who partied there after hours. One of those cops was Matt Griffin, the "Ninja Bandit." Griffin shot and killed Peter Klunck six months before Kait was killed. Reportedly that body shop was also frequented by Vietnamese who provided cars to be chopped. The owner of the body shop has stated he knew Kait.

Link between Kait Arquette and Nathan Romero cases: Nathan was murdered by an Asian gang in 1993. Although there were eye-witnesses, police refused to investigate. For two years, the killers taunted and harassed Nathan’s mother and asked Nathan’s friends, “Do you want to be killed next?” The mother kept calling APD to ask why nothing was being done. A homicide captain eventually became so furious that he bellowed, “We know who killed your son, just like we know who killed Kaitlyn Arquette! This is police business – butt out.”

For more information, go to our personal web site for Kait at http://kaitarquette.arquettes.com and click on the clink to "Update Bulletin." Scroll down to the bottom of that page where the menu is in yellow. The link posted on July 10, 1996 -- "Did Kait Know the Ninja Bandit?" leads to info about Peter Klunck. The link posted July 28, 1998 -- "Is Vietnamese Crime Protected in Albuquerque?" leads to info about Nathan Romero.

There's also a possible link to the Stephen Haar case in 1998. In 1998, Stephen was living at the same address as the witness who saw Kait followed from her apartment by a VW bug. Shortly before Stephen's death, somebody from that address made a hang-up call to our P.I.'s answering machine. Before our PI could follow up on that, Stephen was dead. We will never know why he was trying to contact us.


Sat Apr 17 14:55:55 PDT 2004

Could you explain the connection between Kaitlyn Arquette, Peter Klunck and Nathan Romero? How are they linked? Were they all friends?


Sat Apr 17 13:24:15 PDT 2004

Bobbigrace,

It doesn't seem likely that the Wagner linked to your sons' case would have anything to do with Natalie Wagner's death, because "Wagner" was Natalie's maiden name, not the name of her killer.

However, it sure does seem like your onto something with Dr. McGee being the medical examiner in both your case and the Gregg Meisner case, and Gregg's brain and organs turned up missing and your sons bodies disappeared instead of being cremated like they were supposed to be.

It's also obvious that a lot of the New Mexico cases are linked. The NM State Police sgt. Mark McCracken, the suspect in the murder of his wife Melanie McCracken, was the scene investigator for the Stephanie Houston case. And the Kaitlyn Arquette case seems to be linked to both the Peter Klunck murder and the Nathan Romero murder.

Its like a tapistry of intertwining horror stories.


Sat Apr 17 06:27:41 PDT 2004

I would like to commit on the Natalie Wagner case. I don't know if there is any connection or not but I do know that a man that lives around this area went to a nearby tavern early in the morning and told the owner about what happened to my children. I looked on court records and found that he had just gotton out of prison for cocaine. I am wondering why he was there and what he was doing. His name is Randy Wagner. Is it possible he is any relative? Someone wrote in to the police station and said my children found a mj farm. A witness who refuses to talk said he saw a man leaving the scene. I would appreciate any input and feel Natalie had some help and it is a cover up involved. I also feel a lot of these cases are connected.

This is a continue from my last post. The Autoposy Dr. my son Ben had was Micheal McGee Pathologist. I sure wonder what happens to the bodies and organs of our loved ones? I also wonder what happened to a lot of "missing" people from this area. How many bodies without organs are there really in the cemetaries? The other Dr. that did my son Robert's autoposy was Susan Roe from Ramsey Medical Center. I would think they would look a little more instead of covering up the double murder of two young boys.....We have a guy that is a democratic coroner and his name is "Suicide Jim". What kind of evil are we fighting?

I am very interested in Gregg Meissner's case. Gregg had the same pathologist as my son Ben who was found shot in the head and body left behind an old car on a recreational trail. I had two young sons ages 10 & 13. The police called it suicide and I have been fighting for justice for my sons and closure for me now for 10 and one half years. I would like to talk to anyone who had this Dr. as Pathologist who did the autoposy on their children. Ben had "metal fragments" in his head that couldn't be caused by a .22 Remington Rifle. Heindl's funeral home was in charge of my sons and told me they were cremated.
I went to the Rhinelander Crematorium and there are no records on my sons. What did they do to their bodies? I would appreciate any help on this. bobbigrace@centurytel.net

NATALIE WAGNER CASE (POSTED BY MELINDA WAGNER, NATALIE'S MOTHER):

Michael Quigley resigned ("for no untoward reason" - whatever that means) in Feb. 2003 after 13 years. Since he is just 35, I know he's not elligle for retirement. He had sold his house in milw. the
previous november. He is now on another police force somewhere in the Milwaukee area - I can't find out where exactly. He owns property in Oconomowoc, Wi. A crime reporter source told me that he's "been making waves" again, but won't tell me - or doesn't know - where
he is now.

Last year the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel ran an article about the violence incident computer records on the MPD officers, (they couldn't keep this program going for some software reason. During the period they did have it going, Quigley was second from the highest in the number of incidents not involving a gun out of 2500 officers.


Thu Apr 8 06:10:49 PDT 2004

Natalie wagner case from Milwaukee, wi.
I believe that Michael Quigley AKA Michael Austin is a Town Of Mukwonago police officer. I know this because of dealings my family has had with him for the past year. If it is the same person, Yes, he is still a police officer. After all that happened, I personally don't understand how he can be!!! Although it does explain why he is the way he is. It is very scary that this person is supposed to be "serving and protecting" with a history such as his!!!I have personally written to the DA, the ACLU and have filed citizen complaints on this officer for the things he has done to my family this past year. Maybe now that I have this info, something can be done about his antics and the corruption going on within the police deapertments. As a mother, I always raised my children to respect the law and if they were ever in trouble to find a polce officer and ask for help. After all that has happened to us, I'm glad they never had to. Now, my chilren have absolutly no faith in the police at all. How can they??

Response:FROM THE WEB MASTER:

If you would like to be put in direct touch with Natalie Wagner's mother, you can send her an e-mail via Real Crimes and we will forward it to her. It sounds as if the two of you may benefit from each other's information.



Wed Apr 7 17:39:20 PDT 2004

John Petrazzuoli case:

The statement that is now on Johnny's site shows so many details that the person who wrote it has to be proud for having the courage to come forward. With the information given that bravery of giving the intimate detail of his family gives the person a human form. It gives the image of a decent human being with morals and caring of human life.

Certainly, passing cars notice things and keep going. We have all thought things as we drive by and wonder, but without busy lives we tend to keep going and believe that everything is fine.

This statement tells about the actual placement of the vehicles...it tells about the other people, it gives us a visual to better understand how so many things such as bullets flying, guns on the wrong side, windows up, Johnny not getting out...a visual that this man was brutally murdered and there are upstanding people in the world willing to stand up for what they know is right.

The police have no conscience or backbone if they don't open this case after accepting this statement. More investigating must be done and maybe it should be done by officers that want to uphold the law, not surpress it! The cell phone problems, the lies, missing and ignored evidence must be brought into this case to prove this murder.

Let's all get our mind and hearts together and read carefully all the papers on the case and then go back and read the statement from the one person who is alive to tell what happened. Then we can piece things together and find the truth about Johnny Petrazuoli's murder.


Tue Apr 6 17:56:36 PDT 2004

Natalie Wagner Case: Question regarding Michael Quigley AKA Michael Patrick Austin. Is he still with the Milwaukee force, or is he with another police force? Thanks [From: Derek]


Mon Apr 5 22:38:52 PDT 2004

I sure hope the special grand juries do more than a review of conduct into the investigation of Troy Pinto, Stephanie Houston, Melanie McCracken. It would be great if these three cases were reopened, investigated properly, and justice served.

Obstruction of justice is just as much a crime, if not more, in police departments as it is for any other professional position or person. The conduct of the officers should pay the highest price and be used as an example to other officers. A slap on the wrist is not going to work this time!

Once the special grand juries review Santa Rosa Police Department and New Mexico State Police policies involving murderers, all other police agencies in New Mexico should form special grand juries to investigate the many other cases from the different PD.

Santa Rosa and New Mexico State Police Department can be used as prime examples for the rest of the police departments in Albuquerque.

It is obvious, having as many cases as there are on this web site something is very wrong with the law enforcement we tend to rely on to protect and serve.


Sun Apr 4 14:55:32 PDT 2004

FROM THE WEB MASTER: A witness has come forth in the John Petrazzuoli case with information indicating murder and arson. The Horry County Police have refused to take a statement from this witness, as they've closed the case as a suicide.

The statement the witness prepared has now been added to Johnny's case report. Go to the Real Crimes homepage, scroll down and click on John Petrazzuoli, then scroll to the bottom of the report. You will be blown away by what you read there.


Sun Apr 4 05:58:00 PDT 2004

ANNOUNCEMENT: Enough signatures have now been collected on petitions to empanel special grand juries to review the conduct of members of the Santa Rosa Police Department for their flawed investigation of the Troy Pino Case and the New Mexico State Police for their flawed investigations of the Stephanie Houston and Melanie McCracken cases.

If the gun hit the ground at an angle how do they figure it would shoot as high as his back and not say, his hip or legs.

If the gun hit the ground at the butt of the gun wouldn't it hit higher than his back?

What was their demeanor when the EMS got there? What had they tried to do for Brooks in advance and was it helpful or hurtful? Were they experienced in giving CPR?



Mon Mar 29 22:35:43 PST 2004

Brooks case:

Kind of hard to believe since the detective knew about Eric's trailer & property being used as a party place with drugs and lots of drinking, that he would take his word that Brooks rife went off after the strap broke.

The neighbors knew too and knew something was wrong with their story, how could the detective be so blind?

In any other case a red flag would have gone up, especially since Brooks was shot in the back. It is a suspicious death and should have been treated as such.

Plenty of murders have taken place while hunting, while the murderer tried to explain it as an accident.





Mon Mar 29 21:25:21 PST 2004

Brooks Black's case


Did the detective take the rife into evidence?

How many bullets were missing?

Did they try to get finger prints from the rife?

Did anyone else touch the rife?


Mon Mar 29 20:52:51 PST 2004

Brooks Black

Who called 911 first?
Was a cell phone used to make the call?
If Eric used a cell phone why did he move Brooks?
He could have directed EMS to the location where Brooks was.
Or one of them could have stood at the road side to help EMS find them.


Mon Mar 29 08:47:59 PST 2004

No, I don't know who wrote it. So I jumped to a conclusion also. That's so easy to do on a message board.


Mon Mar 29 05:50:44 PST 2004

I guess two people can read differently...seems you may know who wrote it since you believe it's a man. Sorry, I read it differently.


Mon Mar 29 05:29:45 PST 2004

I interpreted that post just the opposite from what you did. I felt the poster was expressing horror at the number of mishandled cases from New Mexico and questioning what was going on there and why nobody in authority was doing anything about it. He's right when he says police are supposed to be men of honor but in many of these cases they dont seem to be.


Sun Mar 28 19:44:14 PST 2004

Regarding the Sun 10:53 post.....

Why are you informing us that you are not a lay person -- does this mean you are a professional?

I am confused about your comment of "men of honor" could you elaborate?

This website proves that people do care...we care a great deal about people who have experienced crimes that police push off as if the crime was nothing more than an accident or a suicide.

I for one could not consider a convict a "run of the mill" unless of course you run in that type of crowd.

These postings have nothing to do with the political problems of the world. It has to do with police that are ignoring evidence. Police not wanting to help and do a job that would become a through investigation and a conviction. It has to do with people who have lost love ones and are searching for answers. Answers that need to be answered by the help of the public servants that are being paid to do so.




Sun Mar 28 19:24:05 PST 2004

When hunting hog, do you not use dogs? Also do the men at times stay in a stand in a tree? Could this be why the shot was from a distance and seeming as if it came from the gun hitting the ground and going off in an up position? Could Brooks have been sitting in a tree and shot from a wild bullet?


Sun Mar 28 10:53:56 PST 2004

I am not a lay person but i feel surely that someone's alarm bells should be ringing in authority over the amount of cases 'unsubstantuated'or 'no witnesses'in albertquirque,what about fbi??? do no one care nowadays??? it should be a public outcry that these men of 'honor'are more dishonest than your mere run of the mill convicts..Maybe you should ask sadam hussain to govern this state you might have more chance of evidence 'sticking'and if not you can always have tony blair along with george bush to make sure it does!!!!!


Sun Mar 28 06:23:07 PST 2004

Brooks Black case

What two doctors did the sheriff department speak to about testing the vireous fluid? Is this in a written report from the sheriff? I seriously doubt two doctors made such a statement.

The time of death in this situation since Brook died without a doctor present, and was shot in the back would be extremely important.

The lack of the sheriffs department to test the fluid is bewildering?
The lack of the sheriffs department refusing to locate the fluid after being informed the test could be performed two years later is mind boggling.

It is their job to locate the fluid, not to mention it should have been tested at the time of autopsy


Sun Mar 28 04:53:18 PST 2004

Brooks Black case:

What was the time of death on the certificate?

Was the gun/strap owned by Brooks or was it a loaned from another?

Had Brooks ever hunted anything before? Had he used a gun in other circumstances? (besides service duty)

A friend of mine has several guns and has shot them for years -- yet has never once actually hunted.

If Brooks was shot in error (thinking he was an animal) one would think that each boy would be nervous and tell different stories. One or two could have dragged him to the road only to realize he was already dead. They could have pretended to give CPR when they heard someone coming only to seem - as if they were trying to get him back to life.

Were the other boys and the police on a friendly basis? Are they relatives -- even if it's distant or by marriage?

Have the boys been suspects in any other homicide, or has anyone else been missing that could be connected to them?

It would show if a strap was janked/pulled rather than frayed would it not? Was it checked and returned to the owner -- or destroyed? Straps are usually made of heavy leather and it would have to be rotten or cut in order for it to break so easily.

If (a big if) -- it was an accident and those boys were on probation from other crimes -- they knew they would go back to jail. If they all stuck together (even with different stories) and no one admits to shooting him the police could do nothing about it?

Could it be the police already knew these boys history and that is why it wasn't checked out? Do they know them personally -- know their families?

Who made the actual determination that the gun went off from hitting the ground? Is that what the boys told the police or is that what the police determined themselves?




Sat Mar 27 23:27:36 PST 2004

Brooks Black:

How is Brooks death listed on the death certificate?

The pathologists stated the wound to Brooks back was shot from a distance. Doesn't sound to me like the rife strap simply broke, discharging a bullet straight into Brooks' back. What's the odds of that ever happening anyway? This is referred to as the magic bullet!

How does the detective explain this discrepancy?

Wouldn't it be up to the pathologist to list Brooks death as homicide?

If it was listed properly on the death certificate the detective would have had no choice, but to investigate Brooks death as homicide, instead of jumping to the conclusion of accidental.

Who is really at fault here? The pathologist, detective or both?



Sat Mar 27 21:25:00 PST 2004

Brooks Black's case:

The Department of Justice did testing with the rife and stated the rife discharged EVERY TIME it was dropped at 18 inches?

Winchester tested the same rife and found the opposite, it DID NOT discharge at all?

What is wrong with this picture?

Do you have a written report from the Department of Justice stating this? Appears to me someone falsified the testing and report


Sat Mar 27 21:02:31 PST 2004

Brooks Black:

Since Eric made the announcement no one would be allowed to shoot the next day, so he says, wouldn't the normal reaction be to leave?

What would be the point in staying or hanging around?
All of them were there to hunt.

I can't help but wonder if Eric even said it!


Sat Mar 27 19:28:58 PST 2004

Brooks Black's case:

Is it possible Brooks was set up?

How sure are you that Brooks asked Chris if he could go hunting with him?

Could it have been the other way around, sitting Brooks up, and Chris asking Brooks to join them?


Sat Mar 27 17:55:24 PST 2004

Brooks Black:

Did the very so to be ex wife know any of the people hunting with Brooks?


Sat Mar 27 11:06:32 PST 2004

After viewing the tape of the press conference recently held in NM, my heartfelt prayers go out to the many families involved. May those in power hear your cries for help and respond to your needs in solving these cases and the many cases on the realcrimes website.


Sat Mar 27 10:50:12 PST 2004

I just read the additions to the Brooks Black case. Congratulations to Evelyn Webster! She's a role model for all of us. I would never have thought to have the gun manufacturer to drop tests.


Thu Mar 25 13:23:17 PST 2004

FROM THE WEB MASTER:

We've added some interesting updates to the Brooks Black case. Brooks' mother, Evelyn Webster, has been a busy woman. She had Winchester do "drop tests" on the rifle that allegedly "accidentally" discharged and killed Brooks, and the results of those tests refute the findings of law enforcement. She also has finally been allowed to meet with the pathologist and has made some astonishing discoveries.

For full information, go to the home page, scroll down and click on "Brooks Black." Then scroll down to the bottom of the text for the updates.

I live in Albuquerque so I was able to go pick up a video in person from the Survivors of Homicide office. When I looked at it I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Its one thing to read about it in the paper but another to look at the faces of the parents and hear exactly what they've been through. You guys did a great job and your demands are so clear and strong how could anybody deny them? I pray that you can get the state legislature to fully understand what this is all about.

Where does Gov. Richardson figgure into this? He's the one who could be forcing this through. Why isn't he?


Thu Mar 4 14:41:21 PST 2004

I understand that you taped the Real Crimes Press Conference that you NM guys held last month in Albuquerque with the Melanie McCracken, Kaitlyn Arquette cases, and all the rest of them. Is there a way to order a copy of the video? If all the Real Crimes NM cases are on it, I sure want to see it. Also, I'm part of a homicide surviors group in another state, and we'd like to hold a similar press conference. We'd like to see what you did with yours.

Nora Lynn

Response:FROM REAL CRIMES: The videos are currently being run off and should be available sometime next week. If you want a copy, send a contribution in any amount you can afford to NIA/NM (National Investigations Agency of New Mexico), a non-profit investigations agency that performs investigations without charge for families of homicide victims whose cases have been botched by The System. (The NIA web site is at www.nia-nm.com.) Real Crimes guarantees that one hundred percent of any donation you make will be used for pro bono investigations for families whose cases weren’t properly investigated by law enforcement. Your check should be sent to NIA/NM, P.O. Box 845, Kitty Hawk, NC 27949. Please, print your address clearly and include an e-mail address in case there’s a problem with delivery.

I read the Kevin McGinley case and was appalled. I decided to sign the petition and also write the Governor of Fla, although I am not a resident of that state. I rec'd an email back saying that the Governor had rec'd my email. Then about an hour later, I rec'd an email from the Florida Highway Patrol. It stated that they had closed the case and that it was a tragic case but was sorry the family didn't agree with the findings. Is it any wonder this family is furious? Can the Governor not do anything on his own? What a joke. I am glad I am not a resident of that state.

Russell Cage

I have known the family of Russell for many years, i use to hang out with his sister in elementry school. I read the case after hearing rumors about his death not being a suicide. There is no way he could have shot himself as indicated. Information is being gathered now, to hopefully bring this to and end and get the case re-opened or have what ever needs to be done, done. I will keep you posted. peachez022003@yahoo.com


Tue Mar 2 08:51:04 PST 2004

A person I am related to my marriage died in the early morning hours of February 25, 2004. She was involed in a one vehicle motor traffic incident and it was immediated listed as an accident.
She lived in a small town in Louisiana where every one knows every one. She worked for the County Rescue Squad and her husband is a Deputy Sheriff.
She was about to receive a million dollar settlement.
Upon notice of her death, her husband declined an autopsy, the police speculated it was an accident. She was buried in less than 48 hours.

The day after her death the husband began looking into the life insurance and the payment of the settlement.
I find this all to be somewhat suspicious.
Could some one tell me how to began the process of having an Agency look into the causes of the death and whether it was an accident or not.

Thanks,
Karen Lee

Response: The experiences of the people whose cases are on this web site underline the futility of getting an outside agency involved in another agency's case.

The best suggestions we can offer are:

(1)Have a family member (blood relative)take the legal steps necessary to acquire all the case materials, including autopsy report, scene reports, and scene photos.

(2)Hire a private investigator to follow up on anything suspicious in regard to the physical evidence.

Try to interest an agressive investigative reporter in the case. The media is often the strongest ally victims have.



Wed Feb 25 11:30:15 PST 2004

Re:Russell Cage case. Another question I would ask is if he was standing in front of the window looking at the girlfriend when he fired, how did a bullet fired front to back go into the house?

Response:Within the text of the Russell Cage story, about ten paragraphs down, you will find a link to a "List of Questions" that Russell's family submitted to Detective David Whitaker. Your question, above, was one of those. Detective Whitaker refused to respond.



Sun Feb 22 23:44:51 PST 2004

Re: Russell Cage case

I am the mother of Brooks Black. I just read your son's story and saw so many similarities to my son's case. I just wanted you to know that if you have copies of 911 calls or witness interviews you can get a CVSA (Computer Voice stress Analysis- a form of lie detection) test done on those tapes. I am currently doing the CVSA tests on my tapes. If you have a tape recording of the call that came 30 minutes before the 911 call you could hire someone to do the CVSA test on the call and the 911 call. Also, I sent a letter to the Attorney General over a year ago to help with my son's investigation. He referred me back to the investigating Detectives from the sheriff's dept. I wrote a second letter in December and they have now agreed to look into the case. A second letter caused them to look into the matter. Don't give up. hwymansmom23@psyber.com




Sun Feb 15 16:00:21 PST 2004

FYI:
Just thought I'd let you know that according to NM statute, at any New Mexico autopsy, the State of New Mexico may retain any item or items they wish for scientific purpose, research or (quoting staute) "any other reason." That's what the legislature here wanted. Further note that the State of New Mexico is required neither to inform the surviving family, nor to request persmission before doing so.

Response:Please, expand on and clarify that statement -- (meaning, please, present it as it might appear in a book called "Legality for Dummies.") What are the consequences of the retention of those materials by the State? How does that help or hamper the autopsy results? What are its positive and/or negative effects on the NM Justice System and the families of the victims?



Fri Feb 13 10:10:37 PST 2004

FROM THE WEB MASTER: We'd like to make you aware of a new case on this web site. This case was submitted to us as a direct result of the media coverage of our Real Crimes Press Conference last month in Albuquerque.

HARRIET MOLDOV-TAYLOR, RAPE AND HOMICIDE: Harriet, a disabled woman who lived alone, was found unconscious, in a diabetic coma and bleeding from her mouth and rectum, in her apartment in Albuquerque on September 27, 2003. She died three days later. The OMI report described deep vaginal tears consistent with rape and ruled the cause of death as strokes and blood loss caused by a violent sexual attack. APD has refused to accept that finding and insists that Harriet's injuries must be self-inflicted. They are threatening to file a complaint against the first doctor who examined Harriet and are trying to convince the Medical Examiner to change her report to mesh with their own speculations.

Harriet's heartbreaking case highlights two important issues:

(1) The prevalence of violent crime against the disabled and the reluctance of law enforcement to take it seriously.

(2) The importance of a specific demand that was made at the Press Conference: "That it be required that the Office of Medical Investigator operate fully independent from law enforcement, with no members of law enforcement serving on its board."



Sun Feb 8 07:12:25 PST 2004

I posted a while back about my mother Lorri Andrus passing away on Sept 11, 1980 due to self inflicted gun shot to the head. My question to the familes is. When the spouse knows about a mental illines and gives a loaded fire-arm to them are they guilty if they kill themselves? Please e-mail me at schoolcraft7@aol.com

Response:FROM THE WEB MASTER: That's a question you need to ask an attorney.



Wed Feb 4 02:14:56 PST 2004

Re: Russell Cage. I am Nelson Welch. I have been qualified as an expert witness in over 300 cases involving firearms evidence. I DID NOT do the report attributed to me from the Rio Rancho Observer.

I was at the Rio Rancho Observer's office briefly last year and did see some photographs in connection with this case. I pointed out to Dave Warren (I believe his name is) that his conclusion on where the bullet entered into the side of trailer was in error.

This was my total involvement with the case until Mr. Clayton Cribbs called me yesterday and informed me of this web page and the false report attributed to me by Mr. Warren.

Thank you... Nelson E. Welch

Response:FROM THE WEBMASTER:

David Warren, editor of the Rio Rancho Observer, created the Unsolved Crimes Network in 2002, allegedly under the sponsorship of the Observer. Mr. Warren identified by name ten prominent investigators and forensic experts who allegedly composed their “Second Opinion Board.” Nelson Welch was identified as one of those experts, and a fax containing information, allegedly provided by Mr. Welch, was sent to the family of Russell Cage from the office of the Rio Rancho Observer. The family accepted that information as valid.

It has now come to light that the fax with Mr. Welch’s name on it was sent by an imposter. We strongly recommend that any crime victim who has been provided with investigative information by the Unsolved Crimes Network or by the Rio Rancho Observer regard that information as suspect.

Re: MELANIE MCCRACKEN

Sgt. Damon Fay of the Albuquerque Police Department has posted on the Melanie McCracken message board that he personally finds the circumstances of Melanie’s death “highly suspicious.” He stated that a captain at the NMSP lied to him about the status of the investigation and that somebody (the implication is that this was that same captain) then phoned Melanie’s mother, pretending to be Sgt. Fay, and threatening the mother if she continued to question the circumstances of her daughter’s death.

That is not “the newspapers” speaking – that is APD – a fellow police department!


Thu Jan 29 19:59:27 PST 2004

I am writing about the case of Melanie McCracken. For those of you who think that all cops are bad I have news for you. While you are comfortably sleeping in your bed feeling safe and secure those men are out there protecting your homes and your families. They give their lives up for you to be safe. Now in the case of Melanie there was no injustice the news papers and everyone else is making it out to be like he did it. Have any of you thought that maybe newspapers don't sell well unless there is something like a murder in or some other horrible news convicting someone of something that they are innocent of. I do hope that none of you consider yourselves Christians because if you do then you also know that no one has the right to judge except for God himself. Mark McCracken is innocent and that will be proven. He and his family are being caused grief. How would you feel if you children saw something horrible about you on tv and it wasn't true. Or better yet how would you feel if you were being accused of something that you didn't do. How about someone you love. You would try to help them through it and find message boards like this horrifying. You would take a second look at what the media says about people and think it through. Now I know that there are bad cops out there. I have delt with some of them. The state police department did not cover anything up because there wasn't anything to cover up. But none of you know that you would rather believe what the media says about people because you don't have the mind to make up and make your own decisions about people. You would rather believe innocent people to be guilty. The autopsy did not show anything for her cause of death either time. So how is it that you can believe him to be guilty? Are you that desperat to see someones life being destroyed?

FROM THE WEB MASTER:

On Jan. 21, 2004, the families of 24 New Mexico homicide cases, most of which are featured on this Real Crimes website, held a press conference in Albuquerque to demand police accountability. The response has been phenominal. To read all about it go to:

State Police have agreed to re-examine the 1998 hit-and-run death of a Bernalillo man and say other old cases may get a second look as well.
The news comes two days after 24 families banded together as the New Mexico Justice Project to demand better accountability from law enforcement agencies they say have botched investigations into their loved ones' deaths.
"The response from the public and law enforcement has begun," said Gabino Venegas Jr., spokesman for the group and father of the man killed in the crash six years ago this month. (ETC.)


Thu Jan 22 15:07:54 PST 2004

Hello. Read about the plight of the 23 families in the ABQ Tribune last night. Hope the best for you all.

Have you ever wondered why New Mexico year-after-year rates as one of the bottom 5 states in quality of life (Morgan Quitno surveys), while our sister state, Colorado, consistently rates in the top 5 states, although both states are very similar in demographics, physical characteristics and climate? I, too, have wondered about it. My conclusion is that New Mexico is in the dung heap because we have just about the most corrupt politicians of any state. I've heard it said that New Mexico has the best politicians that drug money can buy. One of the biggest factors that Quitno uses is crime statistics. New Mexico AND ABQ consistently rate at the very top and states and cities for crime level - especially high violent crimes. Your hapless family and the many others victimized by these often horrific crimes pretty much prove that point.

Have you also ever wondered why that when criminals are arrested, whether you are talking about DWIs or burglars or car thieves or assaulters, the system here extends almost no support to the victims and their families while doing its very best to get the criminals off the hook. Seven years ago, our truck was stolen, found later stripped. I talked to a police sergeant about it. He told me that there were car thieves right here in ABQ who have been arrested 7-8 times for car theft, but because of our judges, they are still on the street. In fact, Resendiz (the Railroad Killer) was arrested and released several times here in ABQ for stealing cars.

If you analyze the problem, the conclusion is that one or more persons in very high authority in our State is a criminal kingpin - pulling all of the strings in secret. Truth is that no matter how much you or the other victimized families bang your heads against the walls trying desperately to obtain justice and to prevent what happened to your loved ones from happening to anyone else, you will make very little progress unless and until you identify who this kingpin(s) is, and permanently put him out of commission.

Over the last 7 years or so, I have identified one very powerful politician who in my personal belief is probably at least one of the kingpins here. That person is Tom Udall. In fact, I have a 8/29/99 email letter from Lois Duncan which states, "I set up an appointment to meet with Udall about Kait's case, and he stood us up." It seems to me that if Udall had acted responsibly and solved Kaitlyn's murder and prosecuted the murderers, then perhaps many of these other gangster-related crimes in this area would have never occurred. In my opinion, Tom Udall has the blood of the victims on his hands!

Just to name a few additional findings: (1) Based on Udall family websites, Tom Udall is the proud great grandson of mass murderer John D. Lee ("Moutain Meadows Massacre); (2) in the late 1980s, Udall Corp. was building airstrips in Costa Rica apparently to service Colombian drug lords (when discovered by Costa Rican officials, were kicked out, and then serviced Panama Dictator, international drug kingpin and pedophile Manuel Noriega); (3) In Udall's 8 years as our AG, Udall never prosecuted a single major drug lord or gangster in New Mexico - yet as AG he helped prosecute a 15 year old Clovis boy falsely accused of stealing a $1.49 package of beef jerky; (4) in 1997, Udall filed an apparently false financial disclosure statement required by all Congressional candidates, in which he stated that he made less than $5,000 in the previous 2 years (thereby keeping secret how much he really made); (5) Udall's close friend and major contributor is an internationally known sexual tantrist (who on his website, asks his followers to proclaim that they are God every day), and during Udall's 8 years as our AG as far as I can find never tried to get us a Megan's law or in any way curtail the flood of sex criminals who regard New Mexico as a haven. Much of this information you can verify yourself, and I can document my findings. Consider that Patricia Madrid has also apparently not prosecuted a single major drug lord or gangster since she has been our AG.

You may also want to look into Tom Udalls political donors. Udall receives huge amounts of donations from attorneys and law firms, many of them located in Texas, New York and California. It is a known fact that gangsters pay off politicians by laundering their payoffs and bribes through lawyers and law firms. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that any of these donating lawyers and law firms are criminal fronts. Possibly none are. However, in my opinion, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it is probably a duck. Regardless of who the politician is, monies that he/she receives in which the originator may be hidden should be thoroughly investigated.

Consider if you were a drug kingpin, what position in New Mexico's government would be the absolutely required position for you to operate within the state with virtual impunity? Clearly, that would be the position of Attorney General. And clearly, New Mexico is controlled from top to bottom by organized criminals. Add that to my findings about Udall. Anyone who believes that our police and prosecutors are going to solve any crime in this state that could even remotely jeopardize or cut into much of the profits of the criminal kingpin(s) then he or she is seriously delusional.

I have found several other very disturbing findings about Udall. Should you be interested, please provide me your mailing address or fax number so I can send you my report. If you know anything about Udall - good or bad - just as long as it is the truth to the best of your knowledge and beliefs, please provide me your information (anonymous is OK).

In any event, please respond. I await your response. John Williams

my name is kathryn bowling.e-mail: kab@cybermesa.com
on march 10,1990 my daughter, carylynn rae wright died in
deming nm. it was ruled a suicide by lt cousins of the
sherriffs dept., with a gun shot to the back of the head.
the witnesses were her fiance and his friend. lt. cousins
refused to do the gun powder residue test when i asked
him to that evening of the 10th, as he said he knew the
boy would not do such a thing. she was having problems
with her fiance as she told me so that week and she was
going to come home to get away from him.
last year (2003) i got a call from a lady in arizona and
she relayed to me that a number of people were sure that
he had in fact killed my daughter, caryl.
i've lived for the last 14 years with this heart ache
that will not go away. there are a lot more details to
this story that i have not mentioned. the grief never
goes away and i can understand what all of you are going
through that is unending. also the resentment and anger
you feel towards a lot of the law enforcement for not
caring or giving a damn.

I first want to send out my condolences to all the familes that have lost love ones. I myself have lost a loved one my Mother Lorri Andrus to be excact September 11, 1980. My Mother had a bad case of mental illines and to make a long story short her husband gave her a loaded riffle and she died due to a self inflicted gun wound. The case files stated the riffle was in the closet and some say the riffle was given to her. My mother's husband is responceable for her death due to knowing that she had mental illines. The case was closed but the husband was over looked on this fact. Chris S

Russell Cage

I just read your story. It's unbelievable. Is there any way at all that you can get the phone records of who made the call to the house at 3 a.m.? Maybe a friend who works for the phone company?

Response:It's our understanding that it takes a court order to get phone records and, unless there's a law suit and the information is requested by an attorney, only the police can get a court order.

an example of this is the Teresa Reyes case, which is on this web site. Three strange men met Teresa, 17, in a parking lot and invited her to a party, and Teresa wrote their phone number on a napkin with her lipstick. She apparently sneaked out that night to attend the party and was never seen again. Her mother was sewing up a hole in Teresa's favorite doll and found the napkin with the phone number hidden in the doll. the number was out of service and unlisted. It's been six years, and the mother hasn't been able to identify the phone number. Only the police can do that, and they haven't gotten around to doing it.

we would like to have the information that Russell's family has on murder's masked as suicides - e-mail Dazzling7@bresnan.net. Thank you


Fri Jan 9 13:18:43 PST 2004

To the family of Russell Cage...I am so sorry for your loss...it is a nightmare that has no end...when you know that there was foul play..and they closed it as a suicide...you are haunted day and night. Do NOT give up...it is very hard to stick with it and find out the truth..but you have to do that. Cops should be very accountable for their misdeeds and mistakes. We have far too many hotshots in there..we need more of the good guys in badges. The trouble with that is..they won't go along with these other guys, and sooner or later they just give up. The only thing that will change the mess we have for investigators and law enforcement..is to take a stand and prove them wrong when they mess up. It may take a long time..but persistence pays off!! Don't stop just because they tell you to!!


Thu Jan 8 12:36:43 PST 2004

i have been reading all the information in this website for quite sometime,it just blows my mind that we have a police force that is indeed corrupted. my deepest sympathy goes to the families that have lost a loved one to this horrible crimes. i have had a run in with one of the cops that was a shooter to one of these persons and it scares me to know that he placed his hands on me. i can now see that he is capable of doing what they say he did.when this happened he did not bother to call another women police officer, there were several other cops that hit, slapped me threw me on the floor and laughed while this cop called me a fat pig.one of the times that i looked up one of them had an erection which sickened me even more.there is more to this but i don't like to relieve it because it has been a constant nightmare in the back of my mind.i was told that this cop swhile at the office of the public defender that he was known to do this but that no one ever reports what happens for fear, i was told not say who or where.i wanted to forget the whole mess.i hope that there will be justice for all of you and for the souls of those that are waiting to enter the light to find their peace and rest in a world that i can only imagine is so beautiful and pure.

Response:Please, DON'T FORGET THE WHOLE MESS. Because, by doing that, you will allow the same thing to happen to somebody else who will be hurt just as badly as you were.

If you will send your information to this web site we guarantee that your name will not be revealed and that the information you share with us will not be given to other parties without your permission.

But it's very important to get this cop's name into our database of "bad cops," in case somebody else contacts us because the same thing happened to her and nobody will believe her.



Mon Jan 5 15:29:54 PST 2004

FROM THE WEB MASTER:

There's a new case on the Real Crimes web site. Please, read the story about Russell Cage.

This will be of particular interest to those of you who have concerns about forensic issues and murders concealed as suicides.

If you would like to send a message to Russell's family, you can post it on the General Message Board or send an e-mail to and we will forward it.




Sat Jan 3 20:10:12 PST 2004

My thoughts and prayers go out to each and every family member of all these victims. Just in reading your stories I am frustrated and SICK to my stomach over the law enforcement and how you were treated by them.
I sincerely hope and pray that someone will listen to you and come down hard on each officer, detective, judge etc. and hold them all accountable for their actions.
If there is anything, like writing letters or sending emails, let me know. Maybe if the general public floods the higher-ups they will get off their lazy behinds and do their freaking jobs that they are paid to do...
Thoughts and prayers...

From Bill Houston's private investigator:

While there have been some very good advances this year, we still have a long way to go- but hopefully the January press conference in albuquerque will help to highlight the problems here in New Mexico.

Yesterday, Patrick Murillo was let out of jail on his own recognizance. Unbelievably, the assistance district attorney failed to utter a single word to support his bail request at Murillo's arraignment. Despite the fact that Stephanie contacted a law firm to seek info on a restraining order just a few days before her death. Despite the fact that Patrick Murillo filed frivoulous criminal charges (that were dismissed before trial) against Bill Houston to try to keep him from pushing for a re-opening of the case. Despite the documented history of Murillo physically abusing women that resulted in arrests. Despite a paternity suit while married, Murillo's lawyer called him "a family man and a pillar of the community." Yet, not a peep out of the ADA.

It makes us wonder whether the ADA who got the indictment of Murillo, actually presented all of the evidence to the grand jury that was at his disposal.We think quite possibly the domestic violence info may have been ingored or downplayed, perhaps to limit the grand jury to a homicide by vehicle indictment instead of a murder indictment.

However in a very positive move, Bill Houston and Nancy Grice mother of Melanie McCracken, (whose husband, New Mexico State Police Lt. has been indicted for first degree murder in Melanie's death), are joining forces to create a citizen's grand jury petition to investigate whether taxpayer money has been used by government employees and contractors to conceal domestic violence homicides in Valencia County. This petition, which will hopefully be ready to file with the court by the end of January, may well lead to one of the most sweeping investigations into corruption in the country and may serve as a wakeup call to the Powers That Be that "we the people means WE THE PEOPLE."

If anyone is interested in helping to obtain signatures of registered voters in Valencia County, please contact me by e-mail at corwinri@nmia.com. Thank you.

That's the most exciting thing I've heard for a very long time! Please, keep us up to date. Are there any people we can contact to help this along?

Something interesting is going to be happening in Albuquerque in January, 2004.

Gabino Venegas, the father of Gabino George Venegas, whose story is on this web site, is organizing a press conference in Albuquerque, NM, to present a list of demands for ways in which New Mexico law enforcement can be forced to be held accountable for their actions.

Twenty-three families of NM homicide victims whose cases were corruptly investigated by an assortment of New Mexico law enforcement agencies, will participate. Those agencies include the New Mexico State Police, Albuquerque Police Department, Santa Rosa Police Department, Bloomfield Police Department, Rio Rancho Department of Public Safety, Socorro Police Department, Gallup Police Department and Navajo Tribal Council Investigators.

Stay tuned.


Thu Dec 25 00:23:58 PST 2003

What is being done about these corrupt officers/dept. Whay can't anyone stop them from continuing this rampage? I don't understand it. I cant fathom any township, county, state, etc. getting away with so much, or anything for that matter. Is NM a whole nother world or what... what makes these officers untouchable?

[Riki L. Miller]if someone can make me understand any of this please feel free to write to me RikiMiller2003@peoplepc.com

Response:Nothing is being done about it because nobody has the legal right to question what police departments do. They "own" their cases.

Police monitor themselves via their Internal Affairs Departments. The results of Internal Affairs investigations are held private, so nobody knows what goes on behind the Blue Walls. If a police spokesperson gives a statement to the media about the results of an Internal Affairs investigation, there is no way for the media to know if the spokesperson is telling the truth.

Except in one fascinating case on this web site which we hope you will click onto right this minute. Read the Peter Klunck case. Then, click on the "book link" in the Peter Klunck blurb on the home page and read about how Peter's mother was in a lawyer's office, and when the lawyer left the room to go to the john, dug through the papers on his desk and unearthed the secret Internal Affairs report about the cop who shot her son. Renee Klunck discovered that the Chief of Police lied to the media and told them exactly the opposite of what was in that document.



Fri Dec 19 16:59:34 PST 2003

This worked for Mr. Houston! He kept at it and at it and at it and finally made the breakthrough.

Please God that every family with a case on this web site does the same.

Re: Stephanie Houston Case

It really makes me feel good to see Justice finally coming around. This is so exciting!!!! It will really add to and spice up the press conference in Albuquerque on Jan. 21!!! I bet you are beside yourself with anticipation. I am not a part of the homicides in NM but I sure feel a part, and I am counting the days so I know time must really be dragging for those of you really involved. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys. Hang in there.

Way to go Bill Houston!!!!
Congratulations!!! I can't tell you how exhilarating this news is and how proud so many people are of you. You are a true shining example of a father's love. You have worked long and hard and your hard work and determination has not only brought justice to your daughter but it has, and is, helping the others of us who are still fighting for justice. Your tireless efforts give us all the courage to keep on going on. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss and my admiration for all you have done and continue to do.

From the Web Master:

Another of our Real Crimes cases moves forward:

STEPHANIE HOUSTON'S KILLER HAS BEEN INDICTED!

Thursday, Dec. 18: Late this PM, Patrick Murillo was indicted for vehicular homicide in the killing of Stephanie Houston.

The indictment is a direct result of a personal investigation conducted by Stephanie's father, Bill Houston, and his private investigator, Mike Corwin. In July, 2002, Bill was charged with stalking for attempting to obtain information about his daughter's killer. But he persevered.

The case in a nutshell: Stephanie died Feb. 27, 2000, in Belen, NM, when her jealous and abusive boyfriend, Patrick Murillo, ran her over with his truck. The investigating agency was the New Mexico State Police. OMI urged that the death by investigated as a homicide, but the NMSP refused to do that. Scene investigator, Mark McCracken, (who has since been indicted for first degree murder in the death of his own wife, Melanie McCracken), told the media that the State Police had fully investigated the case and Stephanie caused her own death because she was falling-down drunk. In truth, police had questioned no witnesses and done no reconstruction. The toxicology test showed Stephanie had consumed about one beer. It has taken Bill Houston and his PI almost four years to get this case to the Grand Jury.

For more information about this case, go back to the Real Crimes home page and scroll down to "Stephanie Houston." The "Crystal Houston" case is also on our web site. Stephanie's sister, Crystal, was murdered in Socorro, NM, fourteen months after Stephanie. The investigatinig agency was the Socorro Police Dept. Bill and his PI are continuing to work on Crystal's case.

Brooks Barrett Black case:


Thanks to many people who have been helping me, Lois, Nancy, Petra, Corwin, and several family members and family, things are rolling along in the Brooks Black Case. I need expertise from someone out there who has ever filed their own civil lawsuit in California. Also, anyone who has represented themselves (pro per) in such a case or in a Grand Jury process. I have gotten word from Winchester that a Winchester 270 shot at close range should definately left an exit wound which my son, Brooks Black did not have. This adds credence to my philosoophy that someone else shot him. I now have a local newspaper that is going to do a story on my son, Brooks Black, who was killed 12/31/01. I only have less than three weeks to find an attorney or file myself, civil lawsuit. I'm very nervous about this timeline and need any advice I can get. I've written on-line lawyers sites who claim to do wrongful death lawsuits in California and none of them has responded. Any advice out there? Evelyn


Mon Dec 8 11:54:51 PST 2003

{from: Angela S.} I am new to the board and thought some of you might have answers to my questions. I have a friend who has revealed to me that his mother disappeared 20 years ago in the Los Angeles area. She is considered "Endangered missing". He wants a copy of the file but I understand by searching other sites that the police won't make that available, true? Also, what information can he obtain from the police? He believes a prominent drug lord may know something or even be responsible for her disappearance. My friend (the son of the missing) remembers all his mothers friends (who ran in a fast crowd to say the least). He has found one who would not reveal all the information she knew. Will the police tell you if they have interviewed certain people if asked? Are there ways to ask questions to the police so that you can obtain more information? Are there any resources to go where you can get pro bono help from a private investigator? I am helping my friend pursue his mother's disappearance and would appreciate any information you can offer. Thank you in advance.

Coral springs:

It's a good sign if you are "well known in police circles". I used to feel the same as you. But now I know that the reason I'm well know is because there is a wall of silence they are protecting. Why do people build walls of silence? Because there's something behind it they really don't want to face. Otherwise there would be no wall at all! I'm a very new person to all of this with only almost two years effort so far. Compared to so many others, that's just the beginning. It's the strenthg and progress of others that brings me courage. Have you read "Citizen Jane"? It took her 13 years to get the wall down. some walls are thicker and harder but I think they can all come down with encouragement from other strong people who keep going. Please keep the faith. I will for you and me. Evelyn Brooks Black's mom

To "Losing My Faith": You are speaking for many of us. Every case on this web site is here because it's the only way the survivors could get the true facts about their loved ones's deaths out of the closet and into the public eye. Maybe you should think about posting your friends' case here.


Thu Dec 4 07:37:33 PST 2003

I'm losing faith... two victims are "forgotten" as Accidents:

Coral Springs Case #88-05-1384
Briefly, I have been seeking justice for two beloved friends that met with an untimely demise in 1988. I have documented proof that the police broke state statutes, changed and altered the crime scene and lied to the Medical Examiner.

I am "well known in police circles"... not because of criminal activity, but because of my choice to exercise my civic duty. As a homemaker and a woman, I am really frightened by the way "my" government had treated me, and this important topic. As an American and a taxpayer, it angers and frustrates me that no one listens. I'm just suppose to go away,... because I don't, I am now "well known in police circles".

When will my pleas be heard? How can I gain support for two voiceless victims? Please don't advise me to write to my Congressman or Representative or respective agency... besides a stunning collection of gold leaf letterheads with form letter messages, I'm not given much notice for what I have to say, or documentation I have to offer. If not brushed off, I'm passed off, or worse yet, I'm deamonized as a dishonest and unsavory person.

I am convienced I can not give up on seeking justice for two deceased friends, even at the expense of my character. After all, if they feel the need to attack my credibility, I must be hitting a nerve. But it sure would be a great help for the facts to be seen and 'noticed' for what I have to say, without a half baked biography of my life.

Standing up in defense of the truth only led to a stance in defense of my character. Only to find out that I don't have the right to defend anything, and my government doesn't have to listen.

Free speech really doesn't mean much if "no one listens"!

The victims are entitled to the truth, even if it includes a screwed up crime scene.

Please help, I'm losing faith...

Re: Brooks Black

Thank you all for your ideas. They're all very good and have given me some new ideas of how to proceed. This site is a life saver. If you have any other suggestions I'm open to all. Evelyn


Tue Dec 2 07:23:45 PST 2003

I bet if you broaden your spectrum and let go of your tears just long enough to look deeper into the history of that piece of land, you may be surprised to find some interesting information. You might need to change your approach...instead of going for homicide, go for worngful death on all three men who were present. The idea is to go with the fpossibility that this man has a dangerous setup and he is endangering peoples lives when he takes them out there. Eric and these other men wilfully took your son into a dangerous area and caused harm to come to him, by their behavior and actions. I don't know if it will work but it is worth a try. Get the scoop on Eric's track record and how many accidents or deaths have actually happened out there on this man's property.


Tue Dec 2 07:11:42 PST 2003

What I do suggest that could be possible is a "Neglegent and wrongful death suit." That could be possible. Look at those pictures of that place ... the hangmans noose and the signs in the trailer window. Look and see if you can get a better background on that place. One officer already made the statement he was waiting for something like this to happen. See what you can dig up on this place and just how many strange accidents have occurred out there.

That place looks to me like, from what you have said is a dangerous lure zone for young men. He has it set up to lure them in there with a pretense for some good hunting sport and trophy taking, then takes over once he has them there. He had to have known the hogs would be coming early in the morning before they retire for the day to water. He knew he could get Brooks all excited and then interrupt that. What about the guy with the shattered leg. Get the story on that. Find out how that happened and see if you can go from there. All the conditions are right. Wilderness, hunting wild hogs, alcohol, drugs, guns, ...... excitment. These are along the lines of violence that are not domestic, but the behavior is like that of DV, in the fact that he sets young men up to play a dangerous game filled with desires, trophy's and excitment, then once he gets them their he dominates their inner emotion and controls the situation .... he takes the game away once he has them vulnerable and psych'd into it.


Tue Dec 2 00:34:06 PST 2003

Your son was shot down by the river. From the looks of the autopsy report, the scrapes and contusions appear to be from his fall. Of-course there may have been more than what appears to have been reported and then I would say he was drug to the road. The gun shot wound at close range contends only 2 possibilities. One is...the control freak "Eric" was getting high off on Brooks excitment and so he had to interrupt your sons state of emotional condition, which we all know occurrs in boys of all ages when it comes to hunting and their toys. So, he took away all reasons to be their and that was to go hunting. He took it away from everyone and your son being a young marine .... that is only a natural responce for him to have a more intense excitment for the hunt. No one was allowed to hunt unless Eric said so. When Brooks got shot and fell to the ground, the scrapes were from that initial fall and his feet were in the river at the time of the fall. He was probably left their until a story was manifested and their is a possibility that Eric took Brooks out by him self ...just the two of them and no one else actually witnessed the accident. These men all know what happened. They helped carry Brooks up to the road .... that is where the drops of blood come from. That is where your son probably died.

The close proxcimity of the gun shot wound could indicate an accident, but it was intiated by Eric's behavior. But because the accident was covered up and made to look like it all happened on its own without interruption, it became a homicide. Tampering with evidence and covering up the crime. I believe you should go with your first intitial thoughts. Brooks spotted a Hog and was allowed to shoot. Eric waited at that one given moment, during the height of that excitment when Brooks spotted a hog, prepared to shoot and when Eric felt Brooks had the animal in the hairs of his scope; Eric being into power and control grabbed the gun from Brooks just about the time he was ready to fire upon the animal, yanking the gun from behind, in doing so it broke the strap and the gun went off wounding your son. Because of the position of the wound, time was of the essence. I believe your son probably bled to death on the road.

Now if the gun shot wound was at a distance, then the possibility your son was shot by someone else that is all in the ballistics report, but if there was no ballistics done, then your only chance of having an idea would be what you can get from the pathologist who did the autopsy. The proxcimity of the gun powder indicates the distance, which I am sure you already know that.

If it was a close range shot, I believe Brooks death was intitiated by Eric and it was covered up to look like an accident that just occurred on it's own and not created at the hands of another.

I don't want to make you cry. I am so sorry ..... but what I see is a very excited little boy, participating in a pride and trophy game, someone seeing it, setting him up and destroying that vision, and in the process he caused an accident, killing your son and he is covering up the crime, which hence making it a homicide.

Its like promising fireworks on the forth of july to a little boy, buying them, leaving them lay out on the table, allowing him to only look, but not touch, waiting behind the door until the little guy can't help himself ...and reaches for them and at that given moment, jumps out and grabs his hands, then punishes him for even having a desire for such.

In your heart you know what happened. Can you ever get it into a court of law? I can't promise you that.

Chris heard the shot....and grabbed his gun....knowing he wasn't allowed to shoot.... because like Brooks, Chris was their to do exactly what Brooks was doing...hunting. A gun-shot means someone is hunting. You see the inner desire and excitment that was initiated in the group that went out there to hunt and you see the setup for all of them by Eric. They were all brought to an inner climax and because your son was younger his excitment was more of a challenge for Eric to control. They are all covering up for Eric's behavior. Brooks is gone, but Eric is still in their lives and they still feed off of each other. You see how complicated this is and how it could be a challenge for you to get this into court. I don't know how your going to prove that Eric set those men up during that hunt and caused your sons death.
