who killed my daughter?
Question: dear lois, i have a question that has been sticked to my mind since i read your book. do you still keep in contact with dung and when was the last time you saw him Asked on Tuesday, March 09, 2010 at 07:49:34 AM Reply: The last time we had any contact with dung was in November 1989, 4 months after Kait died, when his employer drove him over to our house to collect possessions of his that were storied in our garage.

who killed my daughter?
Question: dear lois, i have a question on your book again? was your purpose of writing this book having to do with expressing your feelings and your opinion of this story.

Corrupt cops..
Question: Wasn't T.Babcock a friend/partner of Rock Hart? Those two plus many more (in their circle of trust) were accused of being more than crooked! Intimidation, sexual favors from prostitutes in order to avoid arrest, physical abuse of people they wanted information from, threats if certain people didnt "Cooperate." Yeah, a REAL good group of guys! Im glad im not living that life any more. They had a reputation that was WELL known on the street. NOT in a good way either. Asked on Thursday, March 04, 2010 at 04:59:20 PM Reply: I don't know if there's a link between Tod Babcock and Roch Hart. (It would be fascinating if there were, since Hart has posted many times on this Web site, offering guidence on how we should and should not conduct our investigation.) I would be very interested in knowing the identities of others in "their circle of trust." If you don't want to post those names here, perhaps you could send them by private e-mail?

What was Kait about to expose?
Question: Hello Lois, I hope you are well. I have been doing some more deep reading and thinking about Kait and if there was one thing that most women could not or would not put with is if they found out about a peadophile ring as well as drug smuggling. In a lot of countries child stealing is rife. If Kait had found out about it on top of the drugs which she may have been prepared to let go of it may just have tipped her over the edge and she was so obviously fearful of something or someone. What do you think? I mean you know a lot more having done all the investigations. Jo Hilton UK Asked on Monday, March 01, 2010 at 12:41:50 PM Reply: Your speculation about pedophile activity is not impossible. In those days a lot of stuff from the Orient -- drugs, of course, being primary -- was being smuggled into the States by various means, (often by UPS). We've been told that members of Dung's group were receiving child porn from the Orient and selling it to a local video dealer. But that's just hear-say -- we don't have anything to back that up, other than for the owner of an Albuquerque video store posting a crazy message on this board threatening to have me killed if I mentioned his name or the name of his store on this Web site. (And then the idiot signed his name.) The accusation of "child stealing" has never been made, and we have no reason to suspect that could have been happening. Answered by: Kait's Mom

Who Killed My Daughter
Question: Mrs. Lois Duncan I have 2 daughters and I cant imagine how hard it was to you on the death of kait. I admire your strength on Kaits murder. You are a mother to really look up to for all your courage. Good bless you and your family. Asked on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 07:21:56 PM Reply: Thank you. Answered by: Kait's Mom

Cold Case Task Force
Question: Some are as corrupt as the next APD cop. I wouldn't trust any of them. Maybe the new mayor can help you out. Asked on Thursday, February 25, 2010 at 03:07:50 PM Reply: I don't think Det. Don Roberts is corrupt. We had high hopes when he was in the Cold Case Unit. But as soon as he began to get deeply involved in Kait's case and started to interview suspects, he was transferred to the Pedophile Unit. Answered by: Kait's Mom

In Response to your communication w/Santa Fe C.O.
Question: First, I would find out who the instructor is first before you share any info with him. Many retired APD officers have gone on to teaching/training. I know one for a fact has done so, name Damen Faye. So watch who you confide in. Good luck to you! and God speed!! Asked on Thursday, February 25, 2010 at 03:05:34 PM Reply: Thank you for wanting to look out for me, but we have presented APD with all our new information, (except for the I.D.s of our sources). They just haven't been interested in reviewing it. If this gentleman's instructor is a former member of APD and takes an interest in the case, more power to him. Even if he's Damon Fay.

Your book...............
Question: Ma'am I have never read an entire book in my life! Back cover was good enough for me thanks to my Criminal Justice instructor our entire class must read and write a paper by end of semester in which we are required to tear apart and magnify any possibilities we observe while reading. I was also a corrections officer in Santa Fe Maximum security unit and Matthew Griffin often bragged how he ran this city how he had control over who lived and who didnt. I know for a fact Albuquerque Police Department is very corrupt. I hope and pray we can assist you in solving this if not maybe the next class can! Admire you Faith Stay strong God Bless Asked on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 03:28:50 PM Reply: Thank you for posting. Please contact me by private e-mail. I'd like to know more about your class and how to contact your instructor directly. It sounds like this might be a golden opportunity for both of us -- we can provide him with additional information to supplement what's in my book and is posted on this Web site, and he and his students may be able to help us unscramble this mess and direct our focus. We would also be more than grateful for any information you can provide to us about Matt Griffin. (I guarantee your identity will be kept confidential.) Don't post it here. We need to discuss it in private. First you may want to visit the Real Crimes site at www.realcrimes.com and read the Peter Klunck story. God bless you for posting. Answered by: Kait's Mom

New detectives assigned to cold cases.
Question: Lois, Its my understanding that APD has now added 8 people to work cold cases. This might be a great time to push to have your daughters case opened back up. Asked on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 08:58:04 PM Reply: One of those 8 new members is a cop named TOD BABCOCK. Babcock is one of the cops linked to the auto body shop i.e. drug distribution center at 824 Arno where the VW tried to take refuge after fleeing Kait's scene. The owner of that shop, Frank Arellano, stated in a deposition that his buddy, APD Officer Tod Babcock, frequented the shop after hours. He also said Babcock babysat for him and his wife. I don't think the Cold Case unit is going to be investigating anything that one of their own members was personally involved with. Answered by: Kait's Mom

Hello
Question: I just finished -Who Killed My Daughter?- I chose it as my non-fiction book for my honors english class. I just wanted to send my condolences. I do hope that your daughter's murderer is discovered, and the police are unvealed about being the crooks they can be. You are an amazing author, and one day I hope I can be as accomplished as you. Asked on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 01:49:35 PM Reply: Thank you for your kind note and for choosing WHO KILLED MY DAUGHTER for your honors English class selection. Since your teacher is introducing her students to my books, she might be interested in the 35 minute DVD, "A Visit with Lois Duncan," which was created specifically for classroom use. On it, I describe Kait's murder and my writing of her story. Please, tell your teacher about that site. She can watch excerpts and -- if she decides the DVD would be appropriate for her studentst -- order it on line at www.loisduncan.arquettes.com/DuncanDVD.htm. After reading that book, you probably feel as if you know our whole family, so it might be interesting to you for that reason also. Daughter Robin filmed and edited it; daughter Kerry interviews me; Robin's husband does the introduction; his brother and Robin created the music; and my husband (Kait's dad) is on there also. (Of course, we're all 20 years older than when that book was written.) Answered by: Kait's Mom

You saved my life.
Question: You and Kait saved my life. When I was very depressed over the death of my husband , my girlfriend gave me your book " Who Killed my Daughter?" From there I found your website, and you put me in touch with Shelley Peck who gave me the strength to go on. That was more than 10 years ago, but I think of her and you often. I don't think I'd be here if it wasn't for you, the pain was too much, and the hopelessness was worse. I hope that Kait knows from the Other Side that you and she and Shelley saved me. You really did. God bless you. Asked on Sunday, February 21, 2010 at 03:31:34 PM Reply: What a touching testimonial! Thank you. I'm so sorry about the death of your husband and glad if I and/or Shelley was able to help relieve your pain even slightly. Answered by: Kait's Mom

who?
Question: hello, I am reading your book Who Killed MY Daughter and and I was wondering who do you think murdered your daughter? Asked on Sunday, February 21, 2010 at 12:45:25 PM Reply: I think she was shot by a hired killer. It might have been one of the Hispanic suspects that the police arrested; it might have been Paul Apodaca or one of his accomplices, his brother Mark or friend Lee Padilla, whom he says he was with that night); or it might have been somebody else altogether. The big question is: Who hired the shooter, and what was Kait prepared to expose that was so important that she had to be taken out? Answered by: Kait's Mom

hi there
Question: hi i live in albuquerque nm and im reading who killed my daughter? i live on edith and mountain just down the street from the cemetary i believe kait is burried in ... i would love to visit her can you guide me on where exactly i can find her Asked on Saturday, February 20, 2010 at 09:02:54 PM Reply: Thank you for wanting to visit her grave. I believe it's on Canna. But it's impossible to describe in words how to find a particular resting place. You'd do best to go to the cemetery office and ask them to show you the location on a map.

Asked on Friday, February 19, 2010 at 11:53:28 AM Reply: That same question was asked a few posts down. My response is the same -- Kait's story was filmed for segments of Unsolved Mysteries and of Sightings, but it hasn't been a major motion picture. Answered by: Kait's Mom

And a lot of it is included in posts on this message board and in my responses. So, if you're truly interest, read back through some of the earlier posts. There's interesting stuff there. I'm delighted that you and your friends like my books enough to form an after-school book club based upon one of them.

your book.
Question: im am just now starting to read your book...who killed my daughter?...and me and my friend are very interested in learning more. Is there going to be another book? Is there any movies and or videos about the crime scene? Asked on Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 12:00:13 PM Reply: Yes, there will be another book. The sequel will be called THE TALLY KEEPER, and you can read excerpts from the as yet unpublished manuscript by clicking on the link in the menu at the left side of the pages on this Web site. You'll find photos of the crime scene, plus a photo coverage of Kait's life, linked to my Facebook page. Be sure to read the captions. That page is open to the public. You don't have to have me accept you as a "Friend" to read it, (I seldom accept "friends" I don't know personally), but you can review everything on it. Answered by: Kait's Mom

Film about Kait
Question: Hi Lois, I have been so interested in your case for a long time and have now got my mum into it too. Was there a film ever made about Kait and the murder? Many thanks Jo Hilton Asked on Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 06:43:18 AM Reply: Not a full length feature film. But it was featured on both Unsolved Mysteries and Sightings. The Unsolved Mysteries segment has gone into syndication, so it occasionally pops up unexpectedly on the Lifetime Channel. It's always a shock, because there we are being interviewed -- Det. Gallegoes, reporter Mike Gallagher, and myself, all 20 years younger than we are today. The problem is that the segment was filmed right after the publication of WHO KILLED MY DAUGHTER?. So it doesn't include any of the new information that is on this Web site. Answered by: Kait's Mom
