1
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: From my Heart Media. This is Missing in Alaska, the

2
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: story of two congressmen who vanished in nineteen seventy two

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: and my quest to figure out what happened to them.

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Waalzac. After Chris steal the Dateline,

5
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: NBC producer heard Jerry Paisley's claimed that the plane carrying

6
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: the missing congressman may have been bombed in nineteen seventy two.

7
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: He hired a private investigator in Arizona named Robert Annenberg

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: to assist him with his investigation. Annenberg was a veteran

9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: who served in both the Air Force and Army. In

10
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: the Air Force, he worked in the Office of Special Investigations.

11
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: In the Army, he was an intelligence officer, so basically

12
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: a smart, disciplined, experienced guy. On Augustenburg penned of five

13
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: page memo detailing its fine anks. He sent it to Shoul.

14
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: I want to be clear, Shoul, who's now an executive

15
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: at NBC News, did not provide this report to me directly.

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: I got it from another source. It makes for a

17
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: fascinating read. Here it is voiced verbatim by Mike Smith

18
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: of New Orleans. Jerry Max Paisley a criminal history one.

19
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: The following information was derived from the case file CR

20
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: four ADE zero to four, interviews with the defendant, news

21
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: reports in my own investigation February twenty second to date two.

22
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty two, Jerry Max Paisley was discharged from

23
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: the U. S. Navy and returned to Detroit, where he

24
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: became associated with the Pete Lickavoli crime family. Likavoli operated

25
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: one of the biggest policy houses numbers operations in the

26
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: South Michigan Northern Ohio region. Licavoli also had properties and

27
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: business enterprises in Arizona, and Paisley fluctuated between Detroit and Tucson,

28
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: conducting strong arm and extortion activities and doing gun running

29
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: between Tucson and Detroit. Three. In nineteen sixty four, Licovoli

30
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: introduced Paisley to the Joe Bonano Joe Banana's crime operation.

31
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: In Tucson, a new criminal enterprise had been formed, Tucson

32
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: Vending Machine Inc. Fronted by Sal Spinelli and operated by

33
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: Charles Battaglia. Charlie Batts, a Banano lieutenant working for Tucson

34
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: Vending Machines, Paisley used strong arm and intimidation to get

35
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: vending machine locations in various establishments. If the establishment said no,

36
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: he and his associates would tear the place up or

37
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: blow it up. One of the places he blew up

38
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: was Polo Z's Restaurant and lounge on Speedway. Because of

39
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: Paisley's good work for the Banano Organization, he met Joe

40
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: Bonano Jr. And they became good friends. Four By nineteen

41
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: sixty six sixty seven, Paisley's extortion activities had netted him

42
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: control of several bars in Tucson, and his bombing activities continued.

43
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: He blew up JP's bar on South Craycroft. Also in

44
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: this time frame, he was introduced to Louis Marconi, a

45
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: South Tucson policeman. He was introduced by Roy Rico, a

46
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: low level Detroit mobster. Marconi said he could be a

47
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: source of good quality liquor at cheap prices. This would

48
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: be a valuable benefit to the bars that had been

49
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: taken over. Paisley and Marconi were to form a criminal

50
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: alliance that lasted many years. Paisley was told by Marconi

51
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: that he had been doing some on duty burglaries with

52
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: Ernie Mahea and Tom Vera, also South Tucsson policeman Paisley

53
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: and Marconi did some burglaries together, trafficked in narcotics and

54
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: ripped off a number of individuals. They ripped off Ken

55
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: Humor and it was to cost him his life. Paisley

56
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: and Marconi were both involved in the murder of drug

57
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: dealer Charlie Knewell in that incident is the matter presently

58
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: before the Court Cr. Four eight zero to four. They

59
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: also pulled off the arm robbery of the Posh Jewelry store.

60
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: Although long separated from police duties now, Marconi maintains inside

61
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: connections with the Tucson Police. Ernie Mahia active service. Dick

62
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: Navarro retired five. Paisley's activities came to the attention of

63
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: the FBI, and after a long vetting period, he was

64
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: finally recruited as a paid in form for a salary

65
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: of two hundred dollars per month. His recruiter and handler

66
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: was Special Agent David Hale. Strangely enough, under Essay Hale's direction,

67
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: his extortion and bombing activities did not decrease. They intensified

68
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: with higher profile targets. He bombed Judge Evo Dicincini's house

69
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: in the Whig Beauty salon with essay Hale's approval, Joe

70
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: Bonano's patio wall got blown up and Licovoli's ranch got bombed,

71
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: but not by Paisley. It appeared essay Hale was trying

72
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: to incite a gang war between Licavoli and Banano. He

73
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: gave Paisley ten thousand dollars to do a hit on

74
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: Joe Bonano himself, but for some reason Hale called it off.

75
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: When Paisley started working for Essay Hale, he believed his

76
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: activities were being sanctioned by the FBI. Now he thought otherwise,

77
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: believing Hale was some kind of renegade nut, Paisley called

78
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: Wes Malden, an Arizona DPS agent, and told him what

79
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: had been going on. An investigation ensued. A grand jury

80
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: was convened against ssay Hale, but was torpedoed, presumably by

81
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: the FBI. Hale was allowed to resign and left the state.

82
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: Much of this fiasco got into the media nineteen sixty

83
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: nine and seventy, but most was covered up. Paisley's identity

84
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: was never revealed, so after going on ice in Las

85
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: Vegas for two years, he returned to Tucson and began

86
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: anew his work for the Crime Families six. In late

87
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: August or September nineteen seventy two, joe Aya Tarola Joey

88
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: the Eye, a Banano lieutenant, said he wanted an unregistered

89
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: room for someone who was coming into Tucson from out

90
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: of town. No check in, no name. Paisley got the

91
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: room and the next day they drove to the airport

92
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: where they picked up a woman. Joey introduced her as Margaret.

93
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: That night, Paisley was instructed to bring Margaret to the

94
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: Kontiqui restaurant for dinner. Meeting them there was joe Bonano.

95
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: The three of them had dinner and nothing important was discussed,

96
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: just small talk. Then Joey gave Paisley the high sign.

97
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: The two of them went to the bar and left

98
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: Margaret and Banano alone together. Those two talked for about

99
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: half an hour. Joey and Bonano left and Paisley left

100
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: with Margaret. They hit a couple of nightclubs and then

101
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: returned to the motel where they have sex. The next day,

102
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: both Paisley and Joey saw Margaret off at the airport.

103
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: Paisley tried to get some information about Margaret, but Joey

104
00:07:51,600 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: said nothing he never found out her full name. H seven.

105
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: Two weeks later, Joey asked Paisley to take a trip

106
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: for the organization. He was to go to Anchorage, Alaska.

107
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: He was instructed to bring a suit bag for carry

108
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: on baggage, but not a suitcase. Two days later, Joey

109
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: picked up Paisley in a different car to drive him

110
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: to the airport. At the airport, Joey gave Paisley a

111
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: bag and told him not to carry it on the aircraft.

112
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: He was to check it through baggage. Paisley flew to

113
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: Anchorage and was met at the airport by Gene Fowler,

114
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: accompanied by a stranger who was introduced as Danny. He

115
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: was taken by them to an apartment which was apparently

116
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: not the residence of either of the men, and Paisley

117
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: gave them the bag he had gotten from Joey. That night,

118
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: Paisley met Fowler's brother Larry, and they went out on

119
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: the town. Larry hinted about the bomb Paisley had brought

120
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: from Tucson and asked him if he had made it.

121
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: Paisley replied, he doesn't make bombs, he just uses them.

122
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: During the course of the evening, Larry said, the pipeline

123
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: is coming to Alaska and the state is going wild.

124
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: Larry revealed they were getting ready to make a big move,

125
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: but he did not say what it was. Eight the

126
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: next day, Paisley returned to Tucson. A few weeks later,

127
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: on October sixteenth, nineteen seventy two, a light aircraft carrying

128
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: two US Congressman Hale Boggs Louisiana and Nick Begets Alaska,

129
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: was reported missing on a flight between Anchorage and Juno.

130
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: No trace of the aircraft was ever found. Nine Margaret Beggetch,

131
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: widow of Congressman Nick Beggett, ran for the congressional seat

132
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: vacated by the death of her husband. She was defeated

133
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three. Paisley was lured to Alaska by

134
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: the construction of the Alaskan Pipeline and the furious gold

135
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: rush atmosphere it had created. In Anchorage. Larry Folla introduced

136
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: him to the local gambling gangsters, and he went to

137
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: work for Harry Cardinoff, who ran a gambling operation. While working,

138
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,239
Speaker 1: one day, he ran into a woman who looked familiar.

139
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: They start talking and he realized it was the Margaret

140
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: he had met in Tucson through Joey the Eye. They

141
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: renew their relationship and he learned she was Margaret Beggatt,

142
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: widow of the congressman, and she had lots of money.

143
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: She began to lavish some of her wealth on Paisley.

144
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: He liked all of that in By nine seventy four

145
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: they decided to marry. They married in Tucson at the

146
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: El Dorado, and it's a fancy affair attended by Pete Licavoli,

147
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: Louis Marconi, sal Spinelli, Rtie Smith, Charlie Cuccio, Ari Walsh,

148
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: and several undercover cops who were there monitoring the activities

149
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: of the mob. The Paisley's honeymooned at Mazat Lawn, and Margaret,

150
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: who has lots of insurance money, continues to bestow on

151
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: Paisley the proceeds of her wealth, new Cadillac, new Jaguar

152
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: x K E and jewelry. She also bought him a

153
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: nightclub called the Green Dragon for a hundred and thirty

154
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, but insisted he take in a partner, Danny Zivinich.

155
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: Danny was with Foller when he brought the bomb from Tucson.

156
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: The three of them formed a corporation, Max Inc. With

157
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: Margaret as president, Danny as VP, and Paisley has scretary treasurer.

158
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: They did business with the First National Bank of Anchorage

159
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: and People's Bank of Alaska. Margaret and Paisley bought a

160
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: new two hundred thousand dollar home, and Paisley took junkets

161
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: to Acapulco, Honolulu, Las Vegas, and other place spots whenever

162
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: he felt the urge. It was a nice life living

163
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: off Margaret's money. Eleven, Paisley and Danny had Margaret put

164
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: up her apartment building as collateral for a hundred and

165
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: sixty thousand dollar loan so they can remodel the Green Dragon.

166
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: They fix it up and rename it the Alaska Mining Company.

167
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: They're working together got them closer. One day, on a

168
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: fishing trip, the two of them were drinking, Paisley asked

169
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: Danny why Margaret wanted him as a partner. Danny replied

170
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: that it was because he blew an old man out

171
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: of the sky. That he and Margaret had been friends

172
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: for a long time. She was paying him back for

173
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: services rendered twelve. By late nineteen, Paisley was fifty three

174
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: and was serving several prison sentences exceeding one hundred years

175
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: for murder and other crimes unrelated to the incidents mentioned above.

176
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: He made a decision to wipe the slate clean by

177
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: facing up to all the things he had done in

178
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: his life. He began exposing every one of them. There

179
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: was no attempt to get a deal, nor was this

180
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: a religious transformation that had taken place. It was an

181
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: effort to get a measure of atonement by letting it

182
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: all hang out once and for all. Paisley is not

183
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: proud of his life, but he accepts what has become

184
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: of it as a natural and inevitable outcome of the

185
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: lifestyle he chose for himself. He never had to get

186
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: up early in the morning for a regular job, never

187
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: had to carry a lunchbox or punch a time clock.

188
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: The life of a wise guy was exciting and glamorous,

189
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: and he had a lot of pretty girls, took some

190
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: nice trips, had a lot of dope. But with that

191
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: lifestyle comes risks. He assumed those risks, but eventually his

192
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: luck ran out. He has resigned himself to spending the

193
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: rest of his life in prison, so in late nineteen

194
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: he reported the murders of the congressman to an Arizona

195
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: DPS agent in the Anchorage Police. At the same time,

196
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: he reported killing three other persons in Alaska, Art Sutherland,

197
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: Greg Overton, and a black man whose name he never learned.

198
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: He also reported to DPS his participation in a murder

199
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: in Tucson in nineteen seventy seven, during which his partner

200
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: Louis Marconi pulled the trigger instant case CR. Four eight

201
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: zero to four. Additionally, he reported the nineteen sixty eight

202
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: armed robbery of the Posh Jewelry Store, data which included

203
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: Marconi's setting up of the high as well as the

204
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: names of all the other participants, including the fence. He

205
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: also blew the whistle on two dirty cops with the

206
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: Tucson Police, one retired but one still on active service.

207
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: Fourteen Paisley's reports on the above have been met with

208
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: a wall of silence. DPS turned over the data on

209
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: the murdered congressman to the FBI. The FBI did nothing,

210
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: indicating the case was closed. The aircraft had gone down

211
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: because of bad weather, and the pilot's company had been

212
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: sued for negligence in a civil action. The murders of

213
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: the other men in Alaska were not pursued by the

214
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: police in Alaska because of Paisley's status already serving sentences

215
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: over a hundred years, and the Tucson police have done

216
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: nothing on the armed robbery and dirty Cops information for

217
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: reasons that could be corruption at a high level. Fifteen,

218
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: no one has indicated that Paisley is a liar, a screwball,

219
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: or has an axe to grind. DPS agent West Malden,

220
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: now retired, who exposed renegade FBI agent David Hale through

221
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: Paisley's efforts, as described Paisley as a reliable and accurate

222
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: source of information when he worked with him. Moreover, during

223
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: recent contacts with law enforcement officials, no one has yet

224
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: to produce any evidence of fabrication on Paisley's part. Robert Annenberg, Tucson, Arizona,
