Luther Parks |
MURDER |
Clinton
security aide in Arkansas, known to have been keeping dossier on
Clinton, 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. Wife
claims federal agents subsequently removed files and computer. She
also says that upon learning of Vincent Foster's death, he told her,
"I'm a dead man." Two months later he was. Wife also says
he made large transfers of cash to Vince Foster. In 2005, however, a
woman claiming to be Parks' daughter will post on the Internet the
claim that the murder was done at the behest of a member of the
family. 9/26/93 |

MURDER |
Former
White House intern shot five times during the murder of three
Starbucks employees in an execution-style slaying. No money was
taken. Informant assisting police in case was murdered when sent by
DC police into a botched drug sting. The handling of the 1997
Starbucks murder case continues to raise questions. Why, of all the
301 slayings that took place in DC that same year, did only these
three killings attract the attention not only of the FBI but of
Attorney General Reno herself? Reno overruled her own US Attorney
and called for the death penalty in the case. Reno had intervened in
only one other local case -- a gang leader accused of 14 deaths.
Carl Derek Cooper pleaded guilty to the crimes in April 2000 after
being threatened with the death penalty by Reno. 7/6/97 |

| Ron
Miller |
UNKNOWN |
Was
under investigation for financial irregularities, Miller had turned
over evidence of campaign finance wrongdoing to congressional
investigators. Miller, suddenly took ill and died 9 days later. The
death was strange enough that doctors referred it to the Oklahoma
medical examiner which has refused to release the results of its
tests. 10/12/97 |
| William

DROWNING |
Colby's
death, allegedly while canoeing, raises a number of questions. For
example, the retired CIA head had left his home unlocked, his
computer on, and a partly eaten dinner on the table. Colby had
recently become an editor of Strategic Investment which was
doing investigative reporting on the Vince Foster death. 4/96 |

| Admiral
Jerermy Boorda |
SUICIDE |
Boorda
allegedly killed himself after going home for lunch. Explanations
for suicide include his wearing an improper medal and stresses over
Navy downsizing. Explanations for Boorda's suicide focused on a
claim that he was embarrassed over two "V for Valor" pins
he was not authorized to wear. When it turned out that Boorda was
entitled to those decorations, blame shifted to stresses over down
sizing of the Navy and the adverse affect that feminism was having
on the Navy's morale. |

Crushed
skull & stabbing before being placed on railroad tracks |
Two
boys were killed in Saline County and left on a railroad track to be
run over by a train There is an initial report of joint suicide and
then State Medical Examiner Fahmy Malak ruled the deaths
"accidental," saying the boys had smoked too much
marijuana and fallen asleep on the tracks. A second autopsy and
grand jury probe, finding evidence of a knife wound and was
punctured by dogged investigators whose efforts are repeatedly
blocked by law enforcement officials. Although no one will ever be
charged, the trail led into the penumbra of the Dixie Mafia and the
Arkansas political machine. Some believe the boys died because they
accidentally intercepted a drug drop, but the information suggests
the drop may have dispensed not drugs but cash, gold and platinum --
part of a series of sorties through which those working with US
intelligence were being reimbursed. According to one version, the
boys were blamed in order to cover up the theft of the drop by
persons within the Dixie Mafia and Arkansas political machine.

persons reportedly had information on the Ives-Henry murders.
McKaskle had expressed fear for his life of the "railroad track
thing." Told his parents good-bye. Inmate reported being
offered $4,000 to kill McKaskle. Collins death was ruled a suicide.
Earlier he had failed to answer a subpoena before the Ives-Henry
grand jury. Winters was a suspect in the murders. He was killed in
what was initially thought to have been a robbery turned out to have
been a set-up. Bearden was apparently murdered under mysterious
circumstances March 1989.According to Micah Morrison in the Wall
Street Journal, "he was a friend of both Greg Collins and Keith
Coney. He 'vanished' without a trace. It was rumored he knew exactly
what had happened at the tracks. An anonymous caller said he knew
where he had been murdered. The police found a piece of a shirt,
nothing more." Milam was found decapitated; nonetheless, the
state medical examiner, Fahmy Malak - notorious for his curious
rulings -- declared the death to be of natural causes. Mike Samples,
murdered June 1995, was another grand jury witness in the train
deaths. Wrote Morrison in the WSJ: "He was reported as knowing
a great deal about the deaths of Ives and Henry. Sources say he had
been involved with picking up drugs that were dropped out of planes
at the Mena drop sites. He was shot to death in the head and was not
found for some time." |

Airplane
crash |
The
Guardian of London, May 27, 1998: "Police are investigating the
possibility that insurance fraud by a Swiss resident listed among
the 230 people killed in the TWA Flight 800 explosion might have
been behind the disaster, Swiss television reported last night.
Swiss authorities have been investigating Algerian-born Mohammed
Samir Ferrat, for 18 months, the report said. . . A Geneva lawyer,
Gerald Page, alleged in an interview for the Swiss television report
that Ferrat took out life insurance policies worth several million
Swiss francs in the weeks before the plane crashed in July 1996,
half an hour after taking off from New York . . . On August 19, a
month after the crash, the local medical examiner in Suffolk County
- in whose jurisdiction the disaster occurred - declared that
Mohammed Ferrat had been positively identified as a dead passenger
from TWA Flight 800. US investigators counted him out as a suspect
early. . . The report showed footage of the late US commerce
secretary, Ron Brown, at the Washington signing with Ferrat of a
pounds 62.5 million contract between Sofin and the US construction
firm Chatwick Inc, which was to build residences in the Ivory
Coast." According to a CNN international report, Mohamed Samir
Ferrat, an Algerian business associate of Secretary Brown, who was
scheduled to accompany Brown on the Bosnian trip but withdrew at the
last moment for reasons still unclear, died July 17, on the ill
fated TWA Flight 800. |
| Carlos
Ghigliotti |
Suicide |
Ghigliotti:
42, was found dead in his office just outside of Washington D.C. on
April 28, 2000. Ghigliotti, a thermal imaging analyst hired by the
House Government Reform Committee to review tape of the Waco siege,
had said he determined the FBI fired shots during the incident. The
FBI explained the light bursts on infrared footage as reflections of
sun rays on shards of glass or other debris that littered the scene.
"I conclude this based on the ground view videotapes taken from
several different angles simultaneously and based on the overhead
thermal tape," Ghigliotti told The Washington Post Ghigliotti
said the tapes also confirm the Davidians fired repeatedly at FBI
agents during the assault, which ended when flames raced through the
compound. |
| Niko
Jerkuic |
Suicide |
Chief Niko Jerkuic, technician in charge of the radio beacons used
during the fatal Ron Brown flight committed suicide May 6, 1996.
Christopher Ruddy and Hugh Sprunt wrote, "Brown's plane was
probably relying on Croatian ground beacons for navigation. In the
minutes before Brown's plane crashed, five other planes landed at
Dubrovnik without difficulty, and none experienced problems with the
beacons. But additional questions about the beacons and the crash
will remain unanswered because, as the Air Force acknowledges,
airport maintenance chief Niko Junic died by gunshot just three days
after the crash and before he could be interviewed by investigators.
Within a day of his death, officials determined the death was a
suicide." |

Shelly
Kelly was the flight attendant on Ron Brown's ill fated flight
(April 3, 1996) James Nugent of the Wall Street Underground wrote,
"Four hours and 20 minutes after the crash, the first Croatian
Special Forces search party arrives on the scene and finds only Ms.
Kelly surviving. They call for a helicopter to evacuate her to the
hospital. When it arrives, she is able to get aboard without
assistance from the medics. But Kelly never completes the short hop.
She dies enroute. According to multiple reports given to
journalist/editor Joe L. Jordan, an autopsy later reveals a neat
three-inch incision over her main femoral artery. It also shows that
the incision came at least three hours after her other cuts and
bruises." |

Wilbourne Miller |
Suicide |
Charles Wilbourne Miller, 63, was found dead of a gunshot wound to
the head on November 17, 1998 in a shallow pit about 300 yards from
his ranch house near Little Rock. Police found a .410 gauge shotgun
near Miller's body and a Ruger .357-caliber revolver submerged in
water. Investigators concluded the Ruger was the weapon used by
Miller to kill himself. Yet, two rounds in the handgun's cylinder
had been spent. He had long served as executive vice president and
member of the board of directors for a company called Alltel and was
deeply involved in his own software engineering company until the
day he died. Alltel is the successor to Jackson Stephens'
Systematics, the company that provided the software for the White
House's "Big Brother" data base system and that was behind
the administration's plan to develop the secret computer
"Clipper" chip to bug every phone, fax and email
transmission in America. |
