Dead Wrong: Straight Facts on the Country's Most Controversial Cover-Ups (61 page)

•The absence of an exit wound (confirmed by the treating EMT at the scene) is simply totally incongruent with a wound from a .38 directly into the victim’s mouth.

•The fact that two EMTs and the doctor at the scene identified a gunshot wound in the
neck
is inconsistent with suicide and is evidence that Homicide Investigators would consider indicative of foul play. Lead Prosecutor Miguel Rodriguez also confirms a neck wound—Rodriguez saw the original crime scene photos (before they conveniently disappeared) that showed a very evident large gash with black gunpowder marks on the right side of Vince Foster’s neck.

•Ballistics angles indicate that the victim’s eyeglasses actually should have been thrown in the opposite direction from where they were found.

•The summer flies hadn’t laid eggs at the crime scene which, on a hot and humid summer day, is a scientific indication that the body had been there for only a very short time.

•Other evidence also indicates the victim had not been dead long: Blood was still draining from the wounds when police arrived at the scene.

•The victim’s car arrived in the parking lot after the victim was already dead in the park.

•The victim’s car keys were not found on the victim or anywhere else at the crime scene (there was a thorough search for them).

•The FBI Report indicates that the victim’s head was moved while the blood was still wet—that’s an indicator that the body was moved prior to the arrival of investigators.

•One of the trickles of blood on victim’s face had dried when the body had to have been in a much different position for it to travel that way. That’s huge sign that the body was moved.

•The fact that the fatal bullet was never located is highly unusual because if a bullet traverses all the way through a human skull, then it loses its force, does not traverse far, and is ordinarily found nearby.

•Huge block of totally unaccounted time—no one ever came forward to fill in the many missing hours of what happened to victim after his 1:00 p.m. lunch when everything was fine until about 6:00 p.m. when body was found.

•A tow truck driver stated that the same evening that Foster’s body was found, he was called to remove a car from the same park. The car had blood on the seats, and dashboard, and also had a broken driver’s side window.

•The contradictory witness statements:

•First witness is sure there was no gun in either of victim’s hands or anywhere near him (and he was looking for one).

•Paramedic is positive there was an automatic in victim’s hand, not a revolver, and described it in precise detail.

•Revolver (non- automatic) is officially found in victim’s hand.

The above seem to reveal bungled crime scene staging, rather than poor witness recall.

The preponderance of evidence indicates that the victim was killed with a gun different than the .38 found in his hand, probably a .22 or other low-velocity weapon, in a different location, then dumped at the park with a different gun placed in his hand for a plausible suicide. Crime scene also indicates multiple perpetrators due to the extent of trampled underbrush in the remote location near the body.

KILLERS INEVITABLY MAKE MISTAKES: The victim’s car arrived later,
after
Foster’s body was already in the park.

The car seat was in a dramatically different position— Foster was very tall, almost 6’5”— but the driver’s seat was pulled so far forward that it would have been extremely awkward for a tall person to sit in it (indicating a shorter person probably drove the car to the park).

Consider that his car keys were not found at the crime scene, which included a search of his person— so how could he possibly have driven there?

NO SUICIDE NOTE: It was well-known that Foster was an excellent father and dedicated family man, therefore, it is dubious that he would do something as devastating as shooting himself without leaving behind some explanation. He wrote a note to his mother, with whom he was still very close, only a few hours before his death. In that letter there was nothing at all out of the ordinary. His morning was normal work, followed by a normal lunch in his office. He casually offered a co-worker some candy, then left his office, telling his secretary “I’ll be back soon.” Nothing was wrong. So something dramatic happened shortly thereafter.

VICTIM’S BRIEFCASE DISAPPEARED: Four eyewitnesses saw Foster’s briefcase sitting on the front seat of his car in the parking lot. One witness was medical technician George Gonzalez who remembered it in detail: It was “a black briefcase-attache case.” It vanished.

VICTIM’S PAGER WAS ERASED: Foster’s pager was found at the crime scene, but the memory had been erased from it. Rather than preserving it and analyzing it, it was immediately turned over to the White House. Why? That’s a blatant flaw as far as proper crime scene investigation. Foster was attorney to the President of the United States and had a very busy schedule—it’s logical to infer that he would have several messages on his pager, at any given time. A person committing suicide would have very little reason to erase the memory in their pager. However, persons covering tracks at a murder would have logical reasons to erase the memory. The fact that his messages were erased at death certainly points to individuals other than Foster.

FOSTER’S OFFICE SEARCHED: Victim’s office was ransacked and items known to have been there disappeared, including Foster’s files, other items from his office safe, and his file index that listed all of his files. That took place even though the police asked the White House to seal off Foster’s office and treat it as a crime scene, i.e., stay out of it. So who took what, and why? Foster’s appointment book also vanished (it was either in his briefcase or his office). Obviously, Homicide Investigators would want to look at that appointment book for the day of his death, since the victim’s whereabouts for the last five hours preceding his death are completely unknown.

FAKE SUICIDE NOTE APPARENTLY PLANTED: A highly suspicious note turned up in one of Foster’s briefcases four days after an official search had been conducted— the briefcase had actually already been searched twice and in the presence of police— on those two occasions, there was nothing in the briefcase. Be that as it may, a torn up note eventually appeared in the very same briefcase and, lo and behold, was quickly called a “suicide note.” In reality, it was nothing of the sort; the note indicated nothing about suicide, it was simply a list of reasons for leaving Washington, D.C. and its power games. Three handwriting experts (one of whom is considered the foremost expert in the world) concluded independently of each other that the “suicide” note was a forgery. In fact, it was so obvious a forgery that it was deemed to be the clumsy work of an amateur.

The government wishes that the whole Vince Foster controversy would just go away. The holes in the official version aren’t explainable, nor are they small. They are gaping wounds; much like the one that Vincent Foster should have had, had he actually been shot with a .38 caliber gun like the government says he was.

The Vince Foster murder is recognized as the ultimate potential political consequence of not playing politics with
The Powers That Be.
In fact, it’s even recognized as such “within the industry.” For example, when a high-ranking political aide who was a longtime insider and trusted friend of the leading contender for President recently resigned amid a cover-up of a sex scandal involving that candidate, fears of becoming the “next Vince Foster” were openly voiced:

“Young also told
Good Morning America
today that after he broke with Edwards, tensions over the cover-up got so heated that he feared for his family’s safety.”

“For several months, I used to get up at 3:00 AM and walk around the house with a baseball bat and a knife,” he said.

During that time, Young said he had his three young children sleep with him and his wife.

That fear, he said, peaked during a car ride “out in the middle of nowhere” with Edwards. During that ride, “all I could think about was Vince Foster.”
