I've been trying to find out where Paul Bonacci's "journal"/"notebooks"/"diaries" came from.
In discussing his book, DeCamp claims that " I took simply the diaries of Paul Bonacci and I printed a good portion of them in my book". However, in the so-called "debriefing" video made of Paul Bonacci, by Ted Gunderson, in 1993 - Bonacci repeatedly states that all of his notebooks had been taken away from him after his arrest, all except one.

How does one notebook morph into "the dairies"? And, if Bonacci "kept meticulous notes" about everything that had happened to him since he was 8 years old, recorded allegedly as they happened over the years and not as recollection, how does all that information fit into one notebook? On top of that, if Bonacci had at one time many notebooks in which this material was recorded...how did it all end up in the one notebook that he was able to keep?
Here's another mystery. In that 1993 debriefing video, Bonacci claims that he has fully integrated all of his alleged multiple personalities. He even says that he no longer has multiple personalities. Gunderson asks him "how can I know that I'm talking to "Paul" and not one of your other personalities" and Bonacci says:
"there's no other personalities to come out or talk to" and "before I was integrated, the other personalities could just come out and tell you...like that...now I have to remember things like a normal person" [because he's no longer suffering MPD].
But in the 1998 testimoney, the lawsuit Bonacci vs King, the transcript records Bonacci supposedly becoming "possessed" by "an alternate personality", right in the middle of his testimony!
"Q. Do you still have multiple personalities?
A. Yes, I do. I will always probably have both the personalities. I mean, I can, it's easy to live with now because I don I have any traumatic things to cause me to switch personalities which would really do me a whole lot of harm. But I know that even with my affiliation with Larry King and stuff, I know for a fact now to myself that he knew about the MPD and also was in touch with and was one of my controllers.
Q. You've had three separate psychiatrists examine you, is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And were each of these psychiatrists hired and paid for by the State of Nebraska or one of subdivisions of the State of Nebraska?
A. Yes.
Q. And were they hired to determine whether you really did or did not have multiple personalities?
A. The first psychiatrist was Dr. Beverley Mead and he first was involved when I first went to jail. Because at that time and stuff they said that I was probably under a lot of anxiety and stuff because of the charge and stuff. And he examined me and I don I even remember the first time he examined me, I don I remember until about the fourth or fifth time he examined me. Because every time he examined me until one time he had me just kind of relax and just, and it was the first time it came out while he was out, or I was out, the other personalities were not, he told me that I had MPD and stuff. This is like after he talked to me four or five times and stuff and said in talking to me and stuff, I came to that time I was shocked about where I was at. Because up until that point I hadn't even realized I was in jail as Paul, I was always another personality that had handled everything and stuff. This was like about three to four weeks after I'd been arrested and I didn't even, I hadn't gone, I mean, I had no idea about any of it. And, but, he was the one that first diagnosed me with the MPD. And
Q. Can you stop just a minute?
A. Yeah.
Q. I'm not talking to Paul, am I?
A. No.
Q. Who am I talking to?
A. I used to be known as Wesley but now I'm called Tony.
THE COURT: I'm sorry, you're who?
A. Used to be Wesley, now my name is Tony.
Q. (By Mr. DeCamp) Why is Wesley here?
A. Because I figure it's best if I tell it because lot of things Paul just doesn't want to have to go through a lot of times"
