AFTER TEN YEARS, VINCE FOSTER CASE LOOMS AGAIN
Key Clinton aide Vince Foster died ten years ago on July 20, 1993. With the
anniversary has come the release of a startling tape containing recordings
allegedly of Miguel Rodriguez, the assistant Whitewater prosecutor who
resigned over the handling of the Foster investigation. The recordings seem
to have been made at different times as Rodriquez went over the case with
one of more unidentified persons.
The identification of the voice comes from Foster case witness and
whistleblower Patrick Knowlton and his lawyer John Clarke.
According to the conservative Worldnet Daily, which first published the
story, Clarke said "he cannot divulge how Knowlton acquired the tapes but
notes that by publishing the recording, he is putting his career on the
line. 'If I were to put out ginned up tapes of an assistant U.S. attorney,
they would revoke my license immediately,' he said. 'It's probably a
criminal offense.'. . . A lifelong Democrat who voted for Bill Clinton in
1992, Knowlton told WND the tapes of Rodriguez were legally recorded,
legally obtained and come from a 'very reliable source.'"
At one point on the tape, Rodriquez says, "The Independent Counsel
themselves, and the FBI, beat me back, in fact threatened me. They told me
to quote, this is a quote, 'back off,' either 'back off' or 'back down.'
They used both of them. You know it's - I have been communicated with again
and told to you know, to be careful where I tread. I can tell you this, that
ah, ah, that it has not only to do with my career and reputation, um,
they've also had to do with my personal health and family."
Although Kenneth Starr eventually ruled Foster's death a suicide, he did so
using the same investigating agency - the FBI - whose initial inquiry had
been called into question, including some of the same agents. Starr also
failed to address many questions that had been raised by critics of the
suicide-in-the-park theory.
Many independent investigators, with the notable exception of crime reporter
Dan Moldea, early became convinced that Foster's case had been rigged.
Nothing in the subsequent decade has assuaged their doubts, and the weight
of their questions suggest strongly that Foster either committed suicide
somewhere else and was moved to Ft. Marcy Park or that he was murdered.
A British journalist, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, made a number of points about
the case some years back:
- The cover-up of Foster's death was not initially Kenneth Starr's doing but
the FBI. "Once this had occurred there was no going back. The FBI and the
Justice Department were institutionally committed. It would have taken a
granite prosecutor to crack this open. Mr. Starr was not a man who was going
to tangle with the FBI."
- "Mr. Starr's lead prosecutor in the case, Miguel Rodriguez, the man who
conducted the witness cross-examinations, suspected that Foster's death was
staged to look like a suicide. As he tried to probe, FBI agents began to
obstruct him. Planted stories appeared in the press .... Mr. Starr looked
the other way."
- "Why does it matter? Because the FBI engaged in flagrant evidence
tampering, and because it invalidates the official story that Foster put a
revolver in his mouth and blew his brains out."
More Rodriguez excerpts follow.
On the earlier investigation by Robert Fiske
"All I know is that things did not happen the way that Fiske said that they
happened. And the reports don't support what Fiske said. There's, there's
really nothing is consistent with him, ah, you know, committing that kind of
a violent - or that kind of violent act at all."
On someone moving the body after it was initially discovered:
"They lifted the body and pulled it to the top of the ridge, top of the berm,
and once they did that blood started flowing fast. . . In fact, one of the
persons who was there when the body was pulled made a joke because the body
started sliding back down the hill. Then, they pulled the body up to the top
of the berm."
On changes soon made to the park:
"You have to go back to prior to the body being found and find out what
access there was, who knew about that access, um, and how is it changed.
That is the whole point, you're, again you guys really have to understand
they've re-landscaped it prior to this - you know, they, they've changed
gates, they've changed paths, they've changed trees, they've filled gullies,
they've redefined the slope. You know the whole thing was changed when I was
there. The whole area has been re-landscaped. They've even taken, they've
even filled the gorge down below - they've taken that and filled it with,
with ah pieces of wood and so that they've changed the path that used to be
down at the bottom of the berm. You, you guys can't imagine what the aerials
looked like a year before. It is - all of this is just so much nonsense. It
was landscaped the sly long ago. They, they backfilled.
When Foster's body was found, a paramedic described an automatic pistol at
the scene. By the time of the official report, the gun had turned into a
black Colt revolver:
"Even the Park Police, even the Park Police and the person who first saw the
body, ah, saw different things. But there was a point in time where the
particular gun that he described arrived and something before that was
either not observed or not completely identified.
On when the White House was notified:
"There's indications that the White House and others knew prior to the time
it was officially said to be told. There was notification made well before
the time that the EMTs were called."
On the argument that too many people were involved for a cover-up:
"There's not that many people who know these things really. You don't need a
lot of people to know what's going on. In fact, you don't need many at all.
Everyone makes a very big mistake when they believe that a lot of people are
necessary to orchestrate some kind of - some result here. Very few people
need to know anything about anything, really. All, all people need to know
is what their job is, not why - be a good soldier, carry out the orders.
"And there are a lot of people from - starting at the very night that the
body was investigated, all the way down the line, there were, there were,
people told to do certain things and they didn't - and there - and their
rationale was that they were following orders, being told what to do.
"Nobody, ah, and this goes for all the FBI agents - they all, they don't
necessarily know the big picture - they don't know what other people are
writing in their reports. When you write a report all you have to do is make
sure that it's consistent with - the most innocuous thing is to make sure it
is consistent with the result that you ultimately want to get, which is not
embarrass your other colleagues who have made a conclusions already.
"It's some motivation which is that simple and, and, you know all of a
sudden your notes aren't, don't, exactly reflect what other people have
said. It's very simple. It's a very, a very, ah, clean formula to achieve
the result. You don't have to know the big picture. All you need to do is
just have a couple of people involved. . . You know, you come over, you get
their notes and you write your report. Your report's wrong, you hope
nobody's gonna catch you on it but if they do so what? It gets obscured and
obscured and obscured because you, you control the central figures in the
investigation."
On Ken Starr's investigaton:
"Starr could only be as good as the agents - I mean how independent can
Starr really be when he was being supplied by the very same agency, ah, you
know with the investigative team that did the investigation in first - the
very same people."
The media's role:
"I have talked to a number of people that - you know, from Time Magazine,
Newsweek, Nightline, the New York Times, Boston Globe, the Atlanta whatever,
um, you know there have been well over a hundred, and it risks - this matter
is so sealed tight and, um, the reporters are all genuinely interested but
the ah, the ah, um, the report- the ed- reporters are genuinely interested
but the ah - when they start to get excited and they've got a story and
they're ready to go. . . They went to all the trouble of writing, and then
it got killed. . . I know the New York Times has it - knows, and just won't
ah, ah, I know that they won't do anything about it and I do know that, that
many people have called me back. Reporters that I've spent a lot of time
with called me back and said the editors won't allow it to go to press. The
accepted media here has always had, ah, a certain take on all of this. And
there's been story lines from the get-go."
From the start:
"I knew what the result was going to be, I was told what the result was
going to be from the get-go. And then there's all so much fluff, and a
look-good job, it's just, this is all, all so much nonsense and I knew the
result before the investigation began. That's why I left. . . Fiske himself
indicated that he had determined the result before he had ever released a
report."
The Review has pointed out that the evidence so far suggests White House
involvement in the cover-up but not in the death itself. If Foster was
murdered, one possible scenario was assassination by criminal associates
from Arkansas, perhaps in the drug trade. Two months after Foster's death,
Jerry Parks, a Clinton security aide in Arkansas who was known to have been
keeping dossier on Clinton, was gunned down in his car outside of Little
Rock. Parks was shot through the rear window of his car and shot three more
times, thru the side window, with a 9mm pistol. Parks ran American Contract
Services, the business which supplied bodyguards for Clinton during his
presidential campaign and the following transition. Bill Clinton still owed
him $81,000. Parks had collected detailed data on Clinton's sexual
escapades, including pictures and dates. Park's wife said that upon learning
of Vincent Foster's death, he told her, "I'm a dead man." Mrs. Park also
told a journalist that her husband had made large transfers of cash to Vince
Foster. After Parks' death, his house was ransacked, and his files, 130
telephone tapes and computer data are removed.
There is also the alternative suspicion that the discovery of tainted blood
being sent from Arkansas prisons to Canada and elsewhere - a scandal that
was coming home to roost at the time of Foster's death - might have been a
factor. In May 1993, two separate tainted blood probes -- one by a
California investigator and another by the Canadian government -- led to the
door of the Arkansas governor's office, then occupied by Jim Guy Tucker.
Both were informed that all Clinton's papers were removed when he left
office and that they should contact the White House legal counsel's office.
What happened next is not known but presumably they made contact with Vince
Foster, the man in the legal counsel's office who knew Arkansas and who had
been involved in the prison system and who may, at one point, have
represented the corporation involved in the blood scandal.
Two months after Foster's death - the New York Post reported much later -
someone called a little-known phone number at the White House counsel's
office where Mr. Foster worked. "The man said he had some information that
might be important," wrote columnist Maggie Gallagher, who did not name her
source or identify the official who took the call. "Something had upset
Vince Foster greatly just days before he died. Something about 'tainted
blood' that both Vince Foster and President Clinton knew about, this man
said."
It should be noted that the appearance of the tapes at this time may not be
coincidental. One of the problems with cover-ups is that they can come back
to haunt one at inconvenient times, such as when one of the key figures is
thinking about running for president. |
Was Vince Foster murdered? Analysis by
Wayne Mann1. The FBI fingerprint
expert testified before the Senate hearing that he received 28 pieces of the
"suicide note" and he returned 28 pieces. The White House and the media always
claims that there is only 27 pieces with one missing. Who is telling the truth?
2. Three of the top experts in questioned documents claim
that the "suicide note" is a forgery. The credentials of these people make it
hard to not believe them, therefore the "suicide note" is a forgery. Who forged
it? Who new it was a forgery?
3. Dr. Beyer testified that HE did not take any X-rays
because his X-ray machine was broke, although he had written on the Autopsy form
that he had and although the two policemen that were in attendance at the
Autopsy said that he did. However in Dr. Beyer's Deposition to the Committee he
stated that he sent the body out to another facility for the X-rays. He further
says that the X-rays were not processed and back to him by the time he did the
Autopsy. And furthermore the X-ray machine service company was never called and
never did any repairs on the new X-ray machine for many months before or after
the date of the Autopsy. Which testimony is the truth and which is a lie?
4. Deborah Gorham, Foster's secretary, testified that she
placed two large manila envelopes in the safe--one addressed "For Eyes Only" to
White House Associate Counsel William Kennedy, the other to Attorney General
Janet Reno - and that Nussbaum asked for the combination to the safe after
Foster's death. Deborah Gorham, told investigators for Kenneth Starr that on
the day before he died, Foster received a document related to Systematics. And
this was a document disappeared from his office after his death. What happened
to the three envelopes? What was in them? Why did Foster leave them? Kennedy
did NOT receive his envelope. He does NOT know what happened to it.
5. And finally on pages 1782, 1783, and 1784 of the Senate
report there is a report of a father-son towing company, towing a car to the FBI
garage that same evening that had the drivers window broken out and blood all
over the dash. What is the bottom line on this? Why didn't the FBI at least go
and talk to these people in person, rather than talking to the father on the
phone only?
6. .I submitted a copy of the picture leaked to the press by
the White House that supposedly shows the gun in Vince Foster's hand to one of
the most expert shops, to have it computer enhanced, enlarged and/or turned into
a holographic picture. After studying the pictures very carefully, it is my
opinion beyond a shadow of doubt that this picture is a FORGERY. The thumb
going through the gun is too loon and at a weird angle. We now have forged
pictures and "suicide note."
7. No proof that it was his gun.
8. .Suspicious people were seen in and around victim's car
just before the body was found. There are now three witnesses to this.
9. .Several eyewitnesses saw the victim's briefcase in his
car, yet it vanished.
10. .All 35mm film of crime scene vanished.
11. .Many of the Polaroid photos vanished.
12. .Fiske conceded victim's head mysteriously moved after
death.
13. .Car keys were not found with victim at crime scene. How
did he drive car without keys?
14. .The gun was not seen in hand by the eyewitness who found
the body. CONFIDENTIAL WITNESS, the first eyewitness, saw no gun nor did USPP
Fornshill the first police witness and probably also the second witness.
15. .No blood splatter found, this is inconsistent with
suicide.
16. .No bone fragments were found, part of victim's skull
missing.
17. .Suspicious x-rays vanished with no satisfactory
explanation. Dr Beyer told two police witnesses to autopsy that he had X-rays.
He marked the form that he had X-rays. However when he testified he said that,
"he did not take X-rays," because the X-ray machine was broke. However the
machine was a near new machine and the records of the service company shows that
he never had service on the machine before or after that date. There are many
X-rays from before and after that date. But when he gave a Deposition to the
Senate under oath he said that he sent the body out to another facility for the
X-rays.
18. .Dr. Beyer has a history of mistaking a homicide for
suicide. He has claimed two different people committed suicide who were proved
to have been murdered. He is almost 80 years old and in incompetent.
19. .Victim's head wound not consistent with a high velocity
.38 cal. Dr Haut the Medical Doctor that saw Foster at the scene said the
bullet would looked like a "Low Velocity" bullet wound. A .38 in NOT a low
velocity.
20. .No fingerprints on torn up note, except Nussbaum's.
21. .Wounds seen on victims neck by paramedics. Photo
computer enhanced shows a bullet wound on neck as well.
22. .Dr. Huat & paramedics said they viewed the body 200 feet
from the official site. How did they see the body in one location and the
official reports say the body was somewhere else?
23. .One paramedic listed death as a homicide on his report.
24. .Oddly no dirt was found on victim's shoes. This park is
not like most parks. There is no grass or lawn. It is a forest covered with
heavy brush and weeds. Even Mike Wallace the pathological liar from 60 minutes
admits that it is impossible to walk the 700 feet through the park without
getting dirt all over your shoes. Foster's shoes did not even have the shine
dulled.
25. .Numerous hairs and carpet fibers covered victims
clothing. Far too many fibers unless he had been laying on the floor or coming
into contact with carpet in some other way. The myth that his house had new
carpet so that accounts for it is ridiculous. You could walk on new carpet for
a month and never get anywhere close to the amount of fibers on your clothes
that Foster did.
26. .Whereabouts of victim in hours before death is a
mystery. Supposedly no one saw him for several hours?
27. .No farewell to his family.
28. .A letter mailed to his mother as he left his office for
the last time offered no last farewell.
29. .He was planning to resign his White House position.
30. .Only two bullets in gun. No matching bullets were in
his home or car.
31. .Experts say he had to hold gun in a VERY awkward
position.
32. .The victim planned to give his visiting sister a tour of
the White House the next day.
33. .The victim's friend and attorney Jim Lyon's was coming
from Colorado to meet with him the next day.
34. .He had a full lunch before leaving to kill himself and
told his staff he would be back.
35. .Ft. Marcy is a secluded, suspicious place, known for
illicit activity.
36. .The victim was never known to visit Ft. Marcy Park.
37. .No bullet was ever found.
38. .The attitude of the body was not consistent with
suicide.
39. .There was no motive for the victim to kill himself.
40. .No one heard the shot.
41. .No actions or words at home or work signaled victim was
suicidal.
42. .The FBI Director was fired the day before the victim
died, which left the FBI without leadership and consequently they never took
over the investigation as they should have by law..
43. .The FBI was kept out of the initial investigation.
44. .The lead Investigator at the body site was performing
his first homicide investigation. Soon after this person transferred to a much
better job in California.
45. . How did he shoot himself and THEN throw his glasses 19
feet through some heavy brush from his head, while ending up lying down supine
and perfectly straight, legs together, with arms straight down at his side, the
gun still in his hand, and trickles of blood running from his mouth in several
directions, including uphill? How did a particle of gunpowder get on his
glasses that did NOT come from the gun supposedly he killed himself with. That
indicates that another bullet had been fired besides the one that supposedly
killed him. But wait, he only fired one bullet, where did the other particle
come from then?
46. .Blood was on victim's, belt, shoes, and shirt but NOT on
the gun.
47. .Victim's appointment book was never found. It has
finally been found out that Nussbaum has been hiding it all this time.
48. .Victim made suspicious one day trips to Switzerland,
that his wife was never aware of. He had purchased another ticket to go to
Switzerland and had canceled it, and had then bought another ticket to
somewhere.
49. .Victim was a $300,000 a year successful lawyer with an
overdrawn checking account.
50. .A suspicious paper with initials "C,H,B" was found in
victim's wallet. These could be explained as deposit records of accounts that
were in the name of Chelsea Clinton and one or the other parent.
51. .Police were prevented from searching victim's home and
office. Maggie William's absconded with some files out of his office the night
he died. She also said, when testifying, "the night Foster was killed....."
52. .Victim's widow was not interviewed for ten days after
the death.
53. .No proof that gun found with victim fired the fatal
shot.
54. .Park Police and FBI photos and reports are kept from
public view.
55. .The Fiske Report contains numerous factual errors
regarding time and geography at crime scene.
56. .A vehicle seen at park by Police and Rescue eyewitnesses
was ignored in official record.
57. .Park Police concluded their investigation BEFORE they
sent the gun for testing to see if it would fire.
58. .Death was ruled a suicide before the investigators
viewed the body.
59. .The crime scene was not secured.
60. .No damage to victim's teeth from the recoil of a .38
placed deep in his mouth.
61. .Conflicting testimony regarding what time the victim was
identified.
62. .There is no evidence to support the official conclusion
the victim lost weight. The only evidence is that he gained weight.
63. .Conflicting testimony regarding when the White House
knew of death from as early as 6:00 PM to the official time of 8:30 PM.
64. .Suspicious length of investigation of a simple suicide.
It is still ongoing after two years with no end in sight.
65. .Eyewitness testimony conflicts whether the victim's car
was locked.
66. .Interference with prosecutor Rodriguez questioning and
the Washington grand jury suspected in his eventual resignation.
67. .Marsha Scott met with, her friend of 20 years, Foster in
an unusual 1-2 hour closed door meeting the day before he died. Yet she says
that she cannot remember what they talked about. This bunch that can't shoot
straight, has the poorest memory of any group ever questioned. They must think
if they all get amnesia that everything will be OK.
68. .After Foster died the only thing Ms. Scott could
remember discussing from her long meeting was that Foster had a good weekend.
Just one more liar. This group are all liars.
69. .There was unusually little blood at the scene according
to rescue workers.
70. .The first cannon where some witnesses say the body was
near has been removed from the park.
71. .The ABC News photo published showing Foster's hand with
the gun is not consistent with eyewitness accounts of the gun and hand position.
72. .The victim's office, a secondary crime scene, was
cleansed of evidence and documents by co-workers of the deceased.
73. .The victim's personal effects including his pager were
returned to the White House within 24 hours and before analysis, after the White
House were willing to break into a locked desk at the police station to retrieve
the pager that night rather than waiting until the next morning.
74. .The neighborhood around the crime scene at Ft. Marcy
Park was not canvassed by police until two years later.
75. .Several police officers in Arkansas have given sworn
depositions that they knew of Foster's death around 6:00 PM EST, before police
and rescue workers arrived at Ft. Marcy Park.
76. .The victim's car was never checked for carpet fibers or
fingerprints according to all of the reports, yet Dr. Haut says in his statement
to the FBI that they were fingerprinting the car while he was there that night.
77. .Official records do not agree when the body was moved.
78. .Eyewitnesses disagree about where the body was found and
the position of Foster's hands.
79. .Police and rescue workers have been forbidden to discuss
the case. What are they hiding? If it was a suicide, the press should be able
to talk to the people who were at the scene. The public has a right to know.
80. : No one has reported an investigation into Vince
Foster's 1988 trip to Batman, Turkish Kurdistan, to which there are no scheduled
airline flights,
81. : The White House claims that the papers that were
removed from Foster's office were personal papers of the Clintons that related
to Whitewater. Vince Foster was not the Clintons' personal attorney. Since then
it has been learned that many papers, ledgers, memo's, and diary's were
withheld.
82. The gun was composed of parts from *two different guns*;
83. : The serial numbers had been ground off both parts. From
these points we can deduce that it's most unlikely that he could have obtained
the gun thru normal, legal sources. But as a White House attorney, would he
have risked trying to buy the obviously-dirty gun on the *street*? Seems most
unlikely, when he could have avoided all risk of embarrassing his employer by
simply using one of his family guns. (Although if he was in fact planning to
kill himself, the possibility of being caught buying a gun in D.C. from a street
source would have been way down on his list of concerns.)
84. : Lisa Foster called Bernard Nussbaum the morning after
Foster's death at 7:30 am and asked if Vince had been fired. Was she looking
for a reason?
85. : What was Hubbell looking for when he searched Foster's
house?
86. : Hubbell said that to not believe any word of the
suicide story, and that there was no way it could have been suicide.
87. : When interviewing Lisa Foster, the FBI showed her a
silver colored gun which she recognized. The silver gun was NOT the gun found
with Foster, which was a dark gun.
88. : Lisa Foster was apparently given $250,000 just prior to
her husband's death.
89. : Web Hubbell, in his testimony to the recent Whitewater
hearings, when describing his actions FOLLOWING notification of Foster's death
said, "We searched for Vince Foster's gun in his house". Web Hubbell may have
taken the silver colored gun from Foster's house to show to Lisa Foster(See
above).
90. The photograph Foster hand was obtained by Reuters News
Agency and broadcast by ABC Television shortly after Vincent Foster was found
dead in Fort Marcy Park. This photograph purports to show the right hand of
Vincent Foster holding the handgun with which he supposedly shot himself in the
mouth. Aside from the obvious lack of blood in the scene, please note the color
of the handgun, which is dark. This color matches the description of the gun as
reported in the previous Senate Whitewater hearings.
91. Page 14 is the first of four pages scanned from FBI
report 29D-LR-35063. The marks in black were on the document as provided to me.
The areas in white with hand drawn question marks are areas which were whited
out prior to the release of the document. This document, 29D-LR-35063, is the
summary of the interview held by the FBI with Lisa Foster following the
discovery of her husband's body in Fort Marcy Park. Note that Lisa Foster is
shown a gun by the FBI interviewer and states it is a gun she believes she has
seen before.
92. Page 15 of 29D-LR-35063. Towards the bottom, Lisa Foster
returns to the subject of the handgun she has been previously shown and how she
believes it traveled from Little Rock to Washington D.C. In describing how she
found the gun in Foster's pre-packed trunk, and then repacking it in her own
belongings, she describes the gun as "silver colored".
93. : Page 16 of 29D-LR-35063. Towards the bottom, is the
comment that Foster did not like guns. Following this is an observation that
Lisa Foster verified that a gun she knew to be in the house was where she
expected to find it, and AGAIN refers to "silver color" in describing the gun
from the trunk in Little Rock.
94. The statement on page 16 is Lisa Foster's belief that the
gun found at Fort Marcy Park is the same gun, described previously as "silver
colored", that she packed in Little Rock to bring to Washington D.C.
95. : Page 17 of 29D-LR-35063. This concludes the sentence
begun on the bottom of page 16. The sentence reads," LISA FOSTER believes that
the gun found at Fort Marcy Park may be the SILVER GUN which she brought up with
her other belongings when she permanently moved to Washington".
96. From the above, it is inescapable that Lisa Foster was
shown a gun she recognized, even though that gun she was shown was clearly NOT
the gun in the photograph of Vincent Foster's hand in the ABC TV photograph.
97. It is therefore LOGICAL to conclude that Lisa Foster was
NOT shown the gun which was found with Vincent Foster. Were the suicide genuine,
there would be no reasonable explanation to switch guns.
98. It would make logical sense if 'We searched for Vince
Foster's gun in his house' to find and TAKE a gun to show to Lisa Foster to
help sell the apparent suicide, not expecting a photo of the real suicide gun to
hit the TV news.
99. One hardly asks the FBI to distort evidence by showing
the wrong gun to the widow in a real suicide. It is therefore logical to
conclude that if we are not dealing with a suicide, then we MUST be dealing with
a murder.
100. The fact that the FBI showed the wrong colored gun to
Lisa Foster, while telling her it was the gun found with Foster's body, is the
strangest single piece of evidence of a cover-up. One doesn't need to cover-up a
suicide. One covers-up a murder.
101. From the above, given the two different guns, and Webster
Hubbel's now public admission that he searched Vincent Foster's home for a gun,
despite a gun found with Vincent Foster's body, one must conclude that Webster
Hubbell is the most likely source of the silver colored gun which the FBI showed
to Lisa Foster. Lisa Foster recognized the gun. How could she not? It had been
searched for in her house by Webster Hubbell, by his own admission.
102. "Don't believe a word you hear. It was not suicide. It
couldn't have been." -Assistant Attorney General Webster Hubbell, 7/20/93, cited
in Esquire, 11/93.
103. .Fiske said Foster's body was placed in a body bag at the
park at 8:45 PM but the ambulance log shows Foster's body left the park at 8:16
PM.
104. .Fiske said the Medical Examiner arrived at the park at
7:40 PM but the doctor told the FBI he arrived at 6:45 PM.
105. .Fiske said Foster lost weight due to depression, but he
weighed 194 pounds on December 31, 1992 and 197 pounds at his autopsy in July.
He GAINED weight, not to mention lost blood.
106. .Fiske said the FBI laboratory performed an through
analysis of the available evidence, but they never researched the origins carpet
fibers and hairs found all over Foster.
107. .Fiske said there was only one vehicular entrance to the
park neglecting to mention two other roads, including a old road since the Civil
War, closest to the body by 300 feet.
108. .Fiske said the Saudi Ambassador's residence was the
closest building to the park, yet at least seven homes are closer.
109. .Fiske said there was a large pool of blood under
Foster's body but observers including Park Police, said there was very little
blood in their depositions.
110. .Fiske implied that the gun found was identified by the
family with misleading statements. He ignored statements by family that
indicted the gun was not Foster's
111. In the words of the FBI interview of the only doctor who
examined the body at Ft. Marcy, Doctor Haut, "believed the wound was consistent
with a 'low velocity weapon.'" The revolver the Fiske Report described as the
death gun is NOT a "low velocity weapon." How does the Fiske Report reconcile
the doctor's statement? The doctor's statement is not mentioned at all in the
Fiske Report.
112. Investigator Cheryl Braun said, "It seems to me we made
that determination [suicide] PRIOR to going up and looking at the body."
113. The Park Police "closed" the Foster investigation ruling
it a suicide on 8/5/93, PRIOR to sending the gun found at the scene, for testing
on 8/11/93. One of the tests ordered was to see if it could actually fire.
114. According to the story, White House nanny Helen Dickey
called Gov. Tucker's Mansion sometime before 6:00 PM EDT and spoke to State
Trooper Roger Perry telling him that Foster Killed Himself in the White House
Parking Lot. According to Testimony, the White House wasn't notified of Foster's
death until sometime after 8:30 PM. Perry passed the call on to Betty Tucker. -
Interesting
115. John Crudele in the New York Post 8/8/95 reported that
the White House called Gov. Jim Tucker in Arkansas with news of Foster's death
at 4:48 PM EDT on July 20, 1993. This is interesting because the body was not
discovered until 5:45 PM EDT the 911 call reporting the body 5:59 PM, Park
Police reached the body at 6:14 PM, and the White house claims they did not
learn of Foster's death until 8:30 PM.
116. Who is the mysterious blonde whose hairs were found on
Vince? Any why isn't it mentioned that carpet fibers and semen were found on his
shorts?
117. Dr. Beyer, and his supposed long track record of
misdiagnosing, or misattributing "suicides"? Has anyone run any investigation
into the "Funeral home" in Washington, or No. Virginia that "prepared" Mr.
Foster's body. I understand there are some very troubling stories there. Much
has been written about the circumstances of Mr. Foster's ODD DEATH: no X-rays,
broken X-ray machine, no crime scene photos, overexposed/damaged 35mm crime
scene photos, "lost" crime scene photos, Confidential witnesses who said there
was no gun at the scene when he discovered the body, hairs, fibers, semen, no
dirt or residue on Foster's shoes or clothing from his "walk" to the "scene",
blood, no blood, blue gun, silver gun, car keys not found at the scene after a
search of his trousers, car keys found at the morgue later in same pants pockets
previously "searched" at the "scene", surrounding houses and residents never
interviewed in the "investigation" of his death, until many months later, and on
and on.
118. There is a report to the FBI about a Towing company
towing a car with blood on the dash and the drivers window broken out that night
from Ft. Marcy Park, yet the FBI doesn't even go talk to the man or his son who
run the towing service.
119 No fingerprints on the gun.
