SERPICO Those are heavy and depressing thoughts to ponder, much less accept. I'm going to remain optimistic.... as I can remember a time, when the testing of blood type was replaced by the sophistication of DNA, to help solve crimes.
Loose lips, sink ships......all it takes is for someone to decide to cut a deal....and it won't be about money, then.
BTW good to see you again!
I have formed my sobering opinion from these observations:
1).Sheriff Gore - a SD native with a father and brother that worked for SD PD and another brother that was in the SD Sheriff's
department. Gore had a checkered career by most impartial observers given his decisions at Ruby Ridge and his Terrorist Reports
to the Senate that later came under fire after 9/11.
Gore maintains in his SD Sheriff's Bio that he played a significant role in establishing the SD Regional Computer Forensics Lab, the first
in the U.S. This is interesting because former 2 term SD DA Paul Pfingst makes a similar claim. Also, during Pfingst's 8 years as
SD DA .....his Deputy Assistant DA was Greg Thompson who remains a close friend according to a SD article that was written in 2010.
Pfingst's 3rd term was narrowly defeated by Superior Judge Bonnie Dumanis in 2002. Dumanis took office in 2003, Pfingst went into
private law practice and Greg Thompson was appointed Director of this new Forensics Lab in January 2003. Thompson was in charge of a staff of 60 forensic scientists and field evidence technicians. Thompson held that position until 2010 or early 2011 when he named
Senior Policy Advisor for the Sheriff.
Gore's handling of the RZ Case was manipulative and misleading to the media/public and at times just plain untruthful. He often said he
conducted a full investigation and didn't form his opinion until just before his phony Press Conference on Sept.2,2011....Friday - Labor Day weekend. The FACTS tell a different story....Gore made his decision early on - possibly days after his department took over from the Coronado PD. This investigation was actually quite elementary after a few days......evidence that suggested Homicide = dismissed
evidence to support Suicide = tagged,docked,recorded and later used to SUPPORT Gore's FLAWED "suicide theory."
Gore, to this day, have never proven Suicide......he said that after a "hearsay" phone message at 11:48pm Tuesday night that RZ
received dire news about Max's condition and immediately went about getting a red/orange rope that no one knows where it came from, there were tape residue on her legs but never finding such tape, there is no actual proof that RZ ever heard that 'hearsay"
phone message [later reported to be from Jonah Shacknai],the bizarre message on the door wasn't proven that RZ was the author,
the clump of hair on the wall in the bedroom shower is still unexplained, never apologized to Zahau family for the 13 hour delay by the ME department to humanely take Rebecca's naked battered body from the crime scene nor did he ever explained WHY the delay on a
summer Wed. morning in July of 2011. Of course, the list is long and painful about what Gore DID NOT DO in his full investigation:
a).he never questioned Jonah Shacknai about how could he leave such a dire message about Max on Tuesday night when Dina, the boy's mother, went on National tv shows repeatedly stating that it wasn't until Friday that she knew Max wouldn't make it. Gore never mentioned that he confirmed Jonah's news that Tuesday night from any Rady hospital doctor while both Dina and Jonah were supposedly present.....Dina through the night and Jonah left Rady at midnight.
b).asked Jonah why he would even call RZ at such a late hour when he knew she would come by the next morning with a set a "fresh" clothes as RZ related to sister Mary during their Tuesday night conversations.
c).why there wasn't a documented interview with ADT Security about their Policy at Spreckels Mansion.
d).why Gore didn't insist a 2nd polygraph test for Adam Shacknai as recommended by Paul Redden, the ex detective and now respected
polygrapher.
e).Gore, being untruthful, telling the media/public that Adam Passed his polygraph test when in fact his test results were inconclusive.
f).why Gore didn't further investigate Adam or at least the same as Rebecca....examine his medical history, Ambien history, his girlfriend about his *advertiser censored* activity and if bondage entered their bedroom.
g).never fully explained the 4 separate subgaleal hemorrhages over RZ's skull and numerous abrasions on her back and some on the
back of her arm.
h).why Adam's DNA was never found on the rope that he supposedly cut down RZ atop the 3 legged table.
I).never explained how Adam was able to cut down RZ and both get down from this 3 legged table without Adam sustaining some
cuts or bruises from the fall.
J). never explained how Adam could produce "dirt tracks" inside the Mansion when getting the knife to cut down RZ but there no
such dirt residue on the white table top when Adam was atop trying to dislodge the rope around RZ's neck.
k).there was never an established TIME OF DEATH indicated. The brash ME Jonathan Lucas said at the phony Press Conference it
was likely 3:00am but was never mentioned in his Autopsy Report. Lucas said the time range was between 1-3 am but he used 3:00am
because it supported Gore's suicide theory. Heck, if Lucas said 1:00am there wouldn't be enough time to do all the things Gore said
she did to facilitate this elaborate suicide.
l).never examined when the water sprinklers came on for Adam to have wet feet to produce "dirt tracks."
m).never explained how RZ had both feet so dirty/muddy.
n).never convinced me that RZ wasn't the victim of a brutal physical attack that could've included a sexual assault....the menstral
blood explanation seemed shallow at best with no tampons,etc. found.
2). Greg Thompson - the UNKNOWN FACTOR in this investigation. He was Paul Pfingst's right hand man in the SD DA's for 8
years and was currently Gore's Special Advisor and knew most/all the forensic specialists and field technicians assigned to this Case.
Thompson was a close friend of Pfingst's so it is HIS cell phone records I would like to examine and cross examination Forensic Lab employees and the Director at time if there was any interaction with former boss Thompson between July thru Sept. of 2011.Was he
orchestrating this BIASED [suicide only] investigation with his close friend and Shacknai Attorney providing answers to any "loose"
suicide ends.
3).Paul Pfingst remains a powerful force in SD criminal courts and good friends of Greg Thompson.
4).Bonnie Dumanis never lifted a finger to find answers or conduct a separate investigation. Sheriff Gore had endorsed Dumanis
for nearly a decade so she wasn't apt to interfere with Gore's investigation.
5).California Attorney General Kamala Harris has many detractors. She is more "political" than pursuing legal challenges and is
quick to support "special interest" Groups that are politically active like GLADD and often draws headlines in her support of gay/lesbians rights. The fact that SD Mayor Dumanis was the first openly gay or lesbian DA in the country might explain why
CA DA Harris never lifted a finger either in this Gore investigation. Harris has endorsed Dumanis for DA and recently as Mayor before she was handily defeated. Dumanis has also endorsed Harris in her political campaigns.
THE FIX WAS IN - THERE WAS NO CALIFORNIA AGENCY TO INVESTIGATE GORE's FLAWED/ BIASED INVESTIGATION unless the Justice Department took over.....which never happened. The fact the Zahau family could never cross examine these 5 people and a dozen others like the Romano sisters has led me to this sad and sobering conclusion.
I do think the Zahau family should RELEASE ALL DOCUMENTS/ VIDEO's information that Gore turned over to Anne Bremner over to
the media so everyone at Webslueths can see the Entire Adam Shacknai polygraph test and all the photographs of the crime scene
and bedroom along with detective interviews so the sharp minds at WebSlueths can further put the "pieces to this homicide puzzle'
together. What say you Mary - Doug and family?
