WEBVTT - Bonus: The P.I. Report

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:08.200
<v Speaker 1>From my Heart Media. This is Missing in Alaska, the

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>story of two congressmen who vanished in nineteen seventy two

0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 1>and my quest to figure out what happened to them.

0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm your host, John Waalzac. After Chris steal the Dateline,

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>NBC producer heard Jerry Paisley's claimed that the plane carrying

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the missing congressman may have been bombed in nineteen seventy two.

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.560
<v Speaker 1>He hired a private investigator in Arizona named Robert Annenberg

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>to assist him with his investigation. Annenberg was a veteran

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 1>who served in both the Air Force and Army. In

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the Air Force, he worked in the Office of Special Investigations.

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>In the Army, he was an intelligence officer, so basically

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>a smart, disciplined, experienced guy. On Augustenburg penned of five

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 1>page memo detailing its fine anks. He sent it to Shoul.

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to be clear, Shoul, who's now an executive

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>at NBC News, did not provide this report to me directly.

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I got it from another source. It makes for a

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 1>fascinating read. Here it is voiced verbatim by Mike Smith

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>of New Orleans. Jerry Max Paisley a criminal history one.

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>The following information was derived from the case file CR

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>four ADE zero to four, interviews with the defendant, news

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>reports in my own investigation February twenty second to date two.

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen sixty two, Jerry Max Paisley was discharged from

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the U. S. Navy and returned to Detroit, where he

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>became associated with the Pete Lickavoli crime family. Likavoli operated

0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>one of the biggest policy houses numbers operations in the

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>South Michigan Northern Ohio region. Licavoli also had properties and

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>business enterprises in Arizona, and Paisley fluctuated between Detroit and Tucson,

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>conducting strong arm and extortion activities and doing gun running

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>between Tucson and Detroit. Three. In nineteen sixty four, Licovoli

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 1>introduced Paisley to the Joe Bonano Joe Banana's crime operation.

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>In Tucson, a new criminal enterprise had been formed, Tucson

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Vending Machine Inc. Fronted by Sal Spinelli and operated by

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:44.239
<v Speaker 1>Charles Battaglia. Charlie Batts, a Banano lieutenant working for Tucson

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Vending Machines, Paisley used strong arm and intimidation to get

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>vending machine locations in various establishments. If the establishment said no,

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>he and his associates would tear the place up or

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>blow it up. One of the places he blew up

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 1>was Polo Z's Restaurant and lounge on Speedway. Because of

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>Paisley's good work for the Banano Organization, he met Joe

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Bonano Jr. And they became good friends. Four By nineteen

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>sixty six sixty seven, Paisley's extortion activities had netted him

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>control of several bars in Tucson, and his bombing activities continued.

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>He blew up JP's bar on South Craycroft. Also in

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>this time frame, he was introduced to Louis Marconi, a

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>South Tucson policeman. He was introduced by Roy Rico, a

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>low level Detroit mobster. Marconi said he could be a

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 1>source of good quality liquor at cheap prices. This would

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>be a valuable benefit to the bars that had been

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>taken over. Paisley and Marconi were to form a criminal

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 1>alliance that lasted many years. Paisley was told by Marconi

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>that he had been doing some on duty burglaries with

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Ernie Mahea and Tom Vera, also South Tucsson policeman Paisley

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and Marconi did some burglaries together, trafficked in narcotics and

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>ripped off a number of individuals. They ripped off Ken

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Humor and it was to cost him his life. Paisley

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and Marconi were both involved in the murder of drug

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 1>dealer Charlie Knewell in that incident is the matter presently

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>before the Court Cr. Four eight zero to four. They

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>also pulled off the arm robbery of the Posh Jewelry store.

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Although long separated from police duties now, Marconi maintains inside

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>connections with the Tucson Police. Ernie Mahia active service. Dick

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Navarro retired five. Paisley's activities came to the attention of

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>the FBI, and after a long vetting period, he was

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>finally recruited as a paid in form for a salary

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.600
<v Speaker 1>of two hundred dollars per month. His recruiter and handler

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 1>was Special Agent David Hale. Strangely enough, under Essay Hale's direction,

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 1>his extortion and bombing activities did not decrease. They intensified

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>with higher profile targets. He bombed Judge Evo Dicincini's house

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>in the Whig Beauty salon with essay Hale's approval, Joe

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Bonano's patio wall got blown up and Licovoli's ranch got bombed,

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>but not by Paisley. It appeared essay Hale was trying

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 1>to incite a gang war between Licavoli and Banano. He

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>gave Paisley ten thousand dollars to do a hit on

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Joe Bonano himself, but for some reason Hale called it off.

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>When Paisley started working for Essay Hale, he believed his

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:56.480
<v Speaker 1>activities were being sanctioned by the FBI. Now he thought otherwise,

0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 1>believing Hale was some kind of renegade nut, Paisley called

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Wes Malden, an Arizona DPS agent, and told him what

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 1>had been going on. An investigation ensued. A grand jury

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:15.600
<v Speaker 1>was convened against ssay Hale, but was torpedoed, presumably by

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 1>the FBI. Hale was allowed to resign and left the state.

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Much of this fiasco got into the media nineteen sixty

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>nine and seventy, but most was covered up. Paisley's identity

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.720
<v Speaker 1>was never revealed, so after going on ice in Las

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Vegas for two years, he returned to Tucson and began

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>anew his work for the Crime Families six. In late

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:46.480
<v Speaker 1>August or September nineteen seventy two, joe Aya Tarola Joey

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the Eye, a Banano lieutenant, said he wanted an unregistered

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>room for someone who was coming into Tucson from out

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>of town. No check in, no name. Paisley got the

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>room and the next day they drove to the airport

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:06.359
<v Speaker 1>where they picked up a woman. Joey introduced her as Margaret.

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 1>That night, Paisley was instructed to bring Margaret to the

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Kontiqui restaurant for dinner. Meeting them there was joe Bonano.

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>The three of them had dinner and nothing important was discussed,

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>just small talk. Then Joey gave Paisley the high sign.

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>The two of them went to the bar and left

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Margaret and Banano alone together. Those two talked for about

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 1>half an hour. Joey and Bonano left and Paisley left

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>with Margaret. They hit a couple of nightclubs and then

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>returned to the motel where they have sex. The next day,

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>both Paisley and Joey saw Margaret off at the airport.

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Paisley tried to get some information about Margaret, but Joey

0:07:51.600 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>said nothing he never found out her full name. H seven.

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Two weeks later, Joey asked Paisley to take a trip

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>for the organization. He was to go to Anchorage, Alaska.

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.840
<v Speaker 1>He was instructed to bring a suit bag for carry

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>on baggage, but not a suitcase. Two days later, Joey

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 1>picked up Paisley in a different car to drive him

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 1>to the airport. At the airport, Joey gave Paisley a

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 1>bag and told him not to carry it on the aircraft.

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>He was to check it through baggage. Paisley flew to

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Anchorage and was met at the airport by Gene Fowler,

0:08:55.800 --> 0:09:00.200
<v Speaker 1>accompanied by a stranger who was introduced as Danny. He

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.439
<v Speaker 1>was taken by them to an apartment which was apparently

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 1>not the residence of either of the men, and Paisley

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 1>gave them the bag he had gotten from Joey. That night,

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Paisley met Fowler's brother Larry, and they went out on

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 1>the town. Larry hinted about the bomb Paisley had brought

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 1>from Tucson and asked him if he had made it.

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Paisley replied, he doesn't make bombs, he just uses them.

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>During the course of the evening, Larry said, the pipeline

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>is coming to Alaska and the state is going wild.

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Larry revealed they were getting ready to make a big move,

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>but he did not say what it was. Eight the

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>next day, Paisley returned to Tucson. A few weeks later,

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:49.480
<v Speaker 1>on October sixteenth, nineteen seventy two, a light aircraft carrying

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 1>two US Congressman Hale Boggs Louisiana and Nick Begets Alaska,

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 1>was reported missing on a flight between Anchorage and Juno.

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 1>No trace of the aircraft was ever found. Nine Margaret Beggetch,

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>widow of Congressman Nick Beggett, ran for the congressional seat

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>vacated by the death of her husband. She was defeated

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen seventy three. Paisley was lured to Alaska by

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the construction of the Alaskan Pipeline and the furious gold

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>rush atmosphere it had created. In Anchorage. Larry Folla introduced

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>him to the local gambling gangsters, and he went to

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 1>work for Harry Cardinoff, who ran a gambling operation. While working,

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.239
<v Speaker 1>one day, he ran into a woman who looked familiar.

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 1>They start talking and he realized it was the Margaret

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>he had met in Tucson through Joey the Eye. They

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 1>renew their relationship and he learned she was Margaret Beggatt,

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>widow of the congressman, and she had lots of money.

0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>She began to lavish some of her wealth on Paisley.

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 1>He liked all of that in By nine seventy four

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>they decided to marry. They married in Tucson at the

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 1>El Dorado, and it's a fancy affair attended by Pete Licavoli,

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:18.559
<v Speaker 1>Louis Marconi, sal Spinelli, Rtie Smith, Charlie Cuccio, Ari Walsh,

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 1>and several undercover cops who were there monitoring the activities

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 1>of the mob. The Paisley's honeymooned at Mazat Lawn, and Margaret,

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.320
<v Speaker 1>who has lots of insurance money, continues to bestow on

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Paisley the proceeds of her wealth, new Cadillac, new Jaguar

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 1>x K E and jewelry. She also bought him a

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 1>nightclub called the Green Dragon for a hundred and thirty

0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars, but insisted he take in a partner, Danny Zivinich.

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Danny was with Foller when he brought the bomb from Tucson.

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 1>The three of them formed a corporation, Max Inc. With

0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Margaret as president, Danny as VP, and Paisley has scretary treasurer.

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>They did business with the First National Bank of Anchorage

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 1>and People's Bank of Alaska. Margaret and Paisley bought a

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>new two hundred thousand dollar home, and Paisley took junkets

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 1>to Acapulco, Honolulu, Las Vegas, and other place spots whenever

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 1>he felt the urge. It was a nice life living

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 1>off Margaret's money. Eleven, Paisley and Danny had Margaret put

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 1>up her apartment building as collateral for a hundred and

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 1>sixty thousand dollar loan so they can remodel the Green Dragon.

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:39.120
<v Speaker 1>They fix it up and rename it the Alaska Mining Company.

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>They're working together got them closer. One day, on a

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 1>fishing trip, the two of them were drinking, Paisley asked

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Danny why Margaret wanted him as a partner. Danny replied

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 1>that it was because he blew an old man out

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.200
<v Speaker 1>of the sky. That he and Margaret had been friends

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 1>for a long time. She was paying him back for

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:06.400
<v Speaker 1>services rendered twelve. By late nineteen, Paisley was fifty three

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 1>and was serving several prison sentences exceeding one hundred years

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:15.320
<v Speaker 1>for murder and other crimes unrelated to the incidents mentioned above.

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>He made a decision to wipe the slate clean by

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>facing up to all the things he had done in

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>his life. He began exposing every one of them. There

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 1>was no attempt to get a deal, nor was this

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 1>a religious transformation that had taken place. It was an

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.560
<v Speaker 1>effort to get a measure of atonement by letting it

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 1>all hang out once and for all. Paisley is not

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.920
<v Speaker 1>proud of his life, but he accepts what has become

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 1>of it as a natural and inevitable outcome of the

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.839
<v Speaker 1>lifestyle he chose for himself. He never had to get

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 1>up early in the morning for a regular job, never

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>had to carry a lunchbox or punch a time clock.

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 1>The life of a wise guy was exciting and glamorous,

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 1>and he had a lot of pretty girls, took some

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.079
<v Speaker 1>nice trips, had a lot of dope. But with that

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>lifestyle comes risks. He assumed those risks, but eventually his

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>luck ran out. He has resigned himself to spending the

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 1>rest of his life in prison, so in late nineteen

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 1>he reported the murders of the congressman to an Arizona

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 1>DPS agent in the Anchorage Police. At the same time,

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 1>he reported killing three other persons in Alaska, Art Sutherland,

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Greg Overton, and a black man whose name he never learned.

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 1>He also reported to DPS his participation in a murder

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>in Tucson in nineteen seventy seven, during which his partner

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Louis Marconi pulled the trigger instant case CR. Four eight

0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:54.760
<v Speaker 1>zero to four. Additionally, he reported the nineteen sixty eight

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 1>armed robbery of the Posh Jewelry Store, data which included

0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Marconi's setting up of the high as well as the

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>names of all the other participants, including the fence. He

0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 1>also blew the whistle on two dirty cops with the

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Tucson Police, one retired but one still on active service.

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Fourteen Paisley's reports on the above have been met with

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a wall of silence. DPS turned over the data on

0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the murdered congressman to the FBI. The FBI did nothing,

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 1>indicating the case was closed. The aircraft had gone down

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 1>because of bad weather, and the pilot's company had been

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 1>sued for negligence in a civil action. The murders of

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 1>the other men in Alaska were not pursued by the

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 1>police in Alaska because of Paisley's status already serving sentences

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 1>over a hundred years, and the Tucson police have done

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 1>nothing on the armed robbery and dirty Cops information for

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 1>reasons that could be corruption at a high level. Fifteen,

0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>no one has indicated that Paisley is a liar, a screwball,

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.760
<v Speaker 1>or has an axe to grind. DPS agent West Malden,

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 1>now retired, who exposed renegade FBI agent David Hale through

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Paisley's efforts, as described Paisley as a reliable and accurate

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 1>source of information when he worked with him. Moreover, during

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 1>recent contacts with law enforcement officials, no one has yet

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:30.800
<v Speaker 1>to produce any evidence of fabrication on Paisley's part. Robert Annenberg, Tucson, Arizona,
