Open Letter to Law Enforcement

The following will sound like a television movie, but it actually happened. The horrible wreck doesn’t stop there for the families and friends of the two young men who died on 12-11-92. Because of governmental cover up and misrepresentation by the local officials and criminal justice system, four possibly six guilty persons walked away without punishment.

After reading the material placed in this web site one might think that the driver of the other vehicle is the only guilty person but that is simply not the case. Today in our criminal justice system States make all principals and parties to the crime liable to the same degree of punishment. In most states, any participants in a crime may be tried and convicted, even though the person who actually committed the crime has not been apprehended, tried or even identified. Three other people in the vehicle know what happened that night and at the very least are just as guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs as the actual driver of the vehicle.

What could have been construed as an accident at first, can only be considered as murder by the reasonable and prudent person. Hearing of the mockery that local and state police, the prosecuting attorney, and reconstructionists made of this investigation, the average person will become sick to there stomach. The Bill of Rights protects a person’s right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. It also forbids the government to violate these rights. As you proceed through this tragic story it becomes apparent that these two boys fell victim to them. For these boys, there was no justice fourteen years ago and so far there has been none up to this date. Hopefully as readers like you read this, insight will be given as to ways justice can finally be served.

As you click on the various windows, take note of some of the crazy ideas that theses so-called professionals would have us to believe. The authorities really insult our intelligence at there absurd explanation of what really happened that night.

Because the suspects were prominent people in society, it is believed that this cover-up started with one independent lie and other people were forced to after the truth as well. This cover-up has taken fourteen years of gathering bits and pieces of information for the malfeasance of justice to be brought to light.

Throughout the investigation, the prosecuting attorney took on a major role. He went to the accident scene the night of the wreck despite terribleweather conditions. He has blood samples sent to his office three days later on the following Monday. He didn’t interview people who were witnesses, but interviewed employees of the suspects. He advised the police not to have blood tested for alcohol to prosecute a DUI case. He called the hospital and told the police to have only one sample of blood taken and not to read the suspects their rights.

The actual wreck site had several strange things occur as well. Before the bodies were either removed by the coroner or the first-aid, a woman was allowed to get into the suspect vehicle and remove items before it could be inventoried by the police. It is uncertain as to what was removed.

After the vehicles were towed to the impound yard, families were inside the vehicles once. After that, the police sent word to the impound yard not to let anyone else into either vehicle. In the three weeks, the vehicles were removed and taken out of state. In most fatalities, the time a thorough investigation can be completed. This was not done.

The road conditions were terrible that night, according to official documents. Before accident reconstructionists could take appropriate notes, the roadway was cleared of all snow. Reports indicate the road was cleared within one hour of the wreck. The person in charge of clearing the highway was a relative of one of the subjects in the suspect vehicle.

There was also a big discrepancy as to the placement of the victims at the wreck site. The state trooper stated that the bides of the two dead boys were eleven feet off the roadway while the EMT’s stated the bodies were thirty to forty feet off of the road. The investigation also stated that the accident occurred head on between the two vehicles on the suspect vehicles fog line. However, the bodies were found across the road and thirty to forty feet off of the road. It is absurd to believe that the boys were on the wrong side of the road at the point of impact. The bodies would have been found on the opposite side of the road at the point of impact. They would have been thrown out at the point of impact and not when the vehicles came to their resting spot. This bit of evidence alone suggests that the wreck probably occurred on the boy’s side of the road

The occupants in the suspect vehicle also raised suspicions as to who was actually driving the vehicle. The person who claims to have been driving at the time of the wreck did not have injuries indicative of the driver. The passenger, on the other hand, was stuck behind the steering wheel and had facial (300 stitches), chest, stomach, pancreatic, kidney, lower leg, and cervical injuries, which would indicate he was actually the driver. But officials stated that while trying to slide out past the steering wheel, the subject got stuck. This may have occurred, but nothing was ever asked about the injuries of this subject or why he may have switched or claimed one of the other subjects in the vehicle was driving.

The stated driver of the suspect vehicle stated that he didn’t see anything because he was sideways in the road. Nothing else was ever asked or stated about this comment. The state trooper also admitted that they knew the driver of the suspect vehicle had been drinking. As a matter of fact, a can of beer was found in the suspect vehicle while none was found in the boy’s vehicle.

One of the accident reconstructionists, John Daily, refused to sign his deposition. He stated the boys were going 61-69 mph on ice, but at point of impact, 2.5 seconds later, they had decreased in speed by 12mph on a solid sheet of ice. Any rational person knows that physics will not allow this.

The day after the accident, the coroner spoke with the mother of one of the boys. She asked him if alcohol was a factor in the wreck and he advised her that no alcohol was found on the boys. Then six years later in an interview, this same coroner stated that the bodies of the boys smelled like a brewery.

These are but a few of the things that were said and done during this so-called investigation. There are pages and pages of court documentation, which keep showing mistakes upon mistakes. There is no way a responsible police department and prosecuting attorney could make such elementary mistakes unless they were covering something up. The things we have mentioned and many more will be explained in depth by clicking on the appropriate pages on this web site.

The torment that these two boys’ families have had to endure since that dreadful night the accident occurred is never ending. Their grief is a life sentence and their pain grows deeper every day.

Was this our criminal justice system at its finest? I believe you will come to the conclusion that it is one of the largest injustices that one can hope will never happen to them.

What started out as one lie detected by the family members of one of the boys has led to a fourteen year crusade which has abruptly ended with each hope of new evidence. Over the years, evidence and information has been gathered and now fills up four file cabinet drawers. A majority of this information is court record and can be found at the local courthouse.

The information presented on this web site is factual and can be backed up by actual court documents, testimony, and statements told by the same people at different times. One of the major players refused to sign his deposition, but the information was allowed in civil court.

We urge you to read the following, and if anyone can disprove anything which is said here with evidence, come forward, it cannot be done except through even more lies and cover-up.

We want nothing more than the guilty people to be known for what they are and what they have done. We want them to re-live this tragedy like we have every day since the senseless deaths have occurred.
