Chapter 36 Section VIII

According to the Missing Persons File in the hands of Director Claude ElBaradei: Randy Jacobson, Caucasian, male, 35 years old, a veteran of the Vietnam War, lived in the Dianthus mansion in San Francisco, disappeared in February 1985.Also missing were two other residents of the Dianthus mansion, Maurice Rock, male, 38 years old, and Kiri Okoro, female, 26 years old.Neighbors reported that they had seen Leonard Luck looking for these three people, and heard that they were hired to work as construction workers in the mountains. Director Ballardi suddenly realized that Randy Jacobson and the other three were PP1, PP2, and PP3 mentioned in Leonard's diary, and PP is the abbreviation of Pink Palace.

Tom Eisenman received a strange phone call, a whispering voice said: "I don't want to get involved in this case, but you really should find out..." "Who are you?" Tom asked. "It's none of your business." The voice continued, "I just want you to investigate Cliff Pulanto and Jeffrey Girard, they are both Wu Qida's colleagues at Dennis Moving Company, they have disappeared It's been months." "Why do you think their disappearance is related to Wu Qida?" "I don't 'think', but I know. When Wu Qida asked them if they would like to build a house in the mountains, I stood by. Wu Qida said that if they want to go, they can be given a good salary. After Lifu and Zhanfer left, there was no news."

"Thank you. You really don't want to give your name?" "No." The next day, Tuesday, June 25th, the San Francisco Police Department task force came to Dennis Moving Company.According to the information provided by the workers, on January 15, 1985, Cliff Pulanto told someone that he had found a job on a construction site in the mountains.Before that, more than one person heard Wu Qida invite him into the mountain. On January 19, Cliff was supposed to go to work at Dennis's moving company, but he didn't come, and the company couldn't find him even after calling several times.In the afternoon, a colleague was sent to Cliff's residence. Cliff was not there, but his Suzuki motorcycle was still parked there.A few days later, that motorcycle was gone too.

In February of the same year, someone saw an advertisement for the sale of Suzuki motorcycles in a local newspaper. According to the police's later investigation, the contact number was the home of Corala Braz's parents. The employees said that it was Cliff Pulanto who introduced Wu Qi to Dennis Moving Company, but their relationship did not seem to be very good afterwards. From November last year to January this year, people in the company heard them quarreling at least twice .At one point, Cliff said he regretted introducing Wu Qida for the job. Cliff Pulanto was supposed to meet up with some friends to watch the Super Bowl football final at the end of January, but he didn't show up that Sunday. On January 28, a friend received a letter from Cliff from San Andres, both addressed on the letter and the envelope on a typewriter.Cliff had a friend send his winning football final lottery ticket to "PO Box 349" in Wytheville - the writing Erin Brunn found on the wall of the Blue Mountain Road bunker dungeon - "Cliff, PO Box 349".According to the verification of the post office staff, this mailbox was opened on January 20, 1985 under the name of Cliff Pulanto, and it was closed shortly thereafter.Gosar Dennis, owner of Dennis Moving Company, also received a letter from Cliff after he left, asking him to send his last pay check to the same post office box.Gosar didn't send it because he couldn't be sure that the letter was actually from Cliff.

Later, the two letters were sent to the office of Lloyd Cunningham, a document and handwriting expert of the San Francisco Police Department. Lloyd wrote in his identification report: "I believe that these letters are from the Olympia. typewriter." When Tom Eisenman and Irene Brunn first arrived on Blue Mountain Road, the Olympia typewriter sat on the desk in the living room of the bungalow. Investigators called Cliff's friends to the police station, where they identified several items that had originally belonged to Cliff Pulanto, recovered from the residence of Leonard Luck and Wu Qida: Blue Mountain Road Cubicle Wall The two oak-framed mirrors in the living room, the dining table with a turntable in the living room, and the pen holder engraved with "C.R.P. P is the initials of Cliff Pulanto.

Not many people in the Dennis moving company's employees knew about the situation of Jeffrey Girard, only the boss Gosar Dennis knew that he left without saying goodbye. Terri Keller and Jeff Gillard shared an apartment.She said that on February 24, 1985, Zhan Fo received several calls, all of which were from Wu Qida.Wu Qida asked Jenfer to move to Stockton for $100.Before leaving, Jenfer told Terri that he would take the bus to Stockton and be back the same evening after the move.But he never came back, or rather, Terri never saw him again. On February 27, when Terry returned to the apartment after get off work, she found that most of the things in Jenfer's room had been removed. She thought that Jenfer might have moved it himself, so she didn't become suspicious.

Terri Keller and Jenfer's friends identified the men's jacket on the back seat of the Honda Pulley as Jenfer Gillard's, and the guitar and column in the corner of the living room on Blue Mountain Road. A few books on the shelves in the basement of Noble Street. The camera that the police first found in the trench on Blue Mountain Road contained a photo of a landscape shot from an indoor window among the photos developed from the film in the camera.Investigators took the photo to interviews with insiders in the San Francisco area, but no one knew where it came from.They also showed the photo to Terri Keller, who said she knew the place, which was the apartment where Jeffrey Gillard had rented.Needless to say, that camera was also Jenfer's.

On Thursday, June 27, the FBI held a press conference in San Francisco to announce that they had formally filed a lawsuit against the US Department of the Navy and the Pentagon, the US Department of Defense, accusing the two agencies of "negligence of duty."According to the investigation, Wu Qida was born in Hong Kong and was a British subject. He should not have been accepted into the US Marine Corps. This is one of them.Second, Wu Qida was sentenced by a military court for stealing arms. As a "foreigner", he should be deported immediately after his release. "Who knows, if he had been returned to Hong Kong, maybe none of these things would have happened, or at least not in this country," an FBI spokesman said.

Pentagon response: No comment. Sacramento, California, on Friday, July 5.The state legislature unanimously approved a total of $500,000 earmarked for the case in Calaborough."The mountainous Caraborough region lacks the financial resources to deal with a series of kidnappings, rapes, robberies, slavery and murders on such a scale," said Democratic Senator John Garamondi, noting that the sum was only Limited to the stage of filing and investigation, the legal expenses for court hearings will be allocated by the state government. The number of experts and various personnel working on the Blue Mountain Road site has increased to nearly 50 people.A total of 14 people were sent from the Calaborough area, 17 from San Francisco, 5 from the Department of Justice, and 10 young people from the State Forestry Department.In addition, different experts are invited to the scene every day to process and identify different evidences.

In early July, boys from the Forestry Department dug up three boxes containing more than 1,800 silver coins in the lush grass on the back hillside, and later dug out a 5-gallon plastic bucket containing guns, wallets, credit cards, etc. , whose name on one of the social security cards was Jenfer Gillard. Director ElBaradei immediately dispatched additional manpower, and the excavated area continued to expand until it reached the ground bordering the property of Mr. Carter, the neighbor in the back hill.At the beginning of the site visit, Irene Brunn reported to Director ElBaradei that there was a new piece of soil that had been turned over.

Sure enough, a large box was also buried under the ground, which contained car insurance cards, life insurance cards, phone cards, and some business cards of Moling Motors, all of which had Paul Casnon's name on them.A pair of glasses was contained in an envelope marked "Casnon".In addition, there is a .22 Luger Mark II pistol, a magazine of 12 rounds and a silencer.Experts have determined that the .22 bullets that emerged from the bullet holes in the bronze-colored Honda Pulley were fired from this Luger Mark II pistol. "Finally," Director ElBaradei thought to himself, "we have found the relics that prove the identity of Paul Casnon. Although his bones have not yet been identified, he must be here." Chang looked around, "Somewhere here." On the afternoon that Sacramento politicians voted for funding, the dig site unearthed two more plastic barrels containing a first-aid kit, a knife, bullets, a chainsaw, a garden saw and an axe.There were dark brown spots on both the saw and the axe, which were found to be human blood. An unknown female body was buried next to the two plastic buckets.There was only one thing the coroners at the scene could be sure of—she was not Deborah Dabbs, or Branda O'Connon, or Cathy Allen. On the same day, the FBI searched 6 post office boxes opened by Leonard Luck and Wu Qida and confiscated more than 50 mails. Jon Crawford of the Calavoro District Attorney General's Office has been searching for the little girl, Stephanie Janie Carr, whose photograph was found in a trench on Blue Mountain Road.According to the text on the back of the photo, her birthday should be March 1981. Jon first contacted the California Census Bureau, to no avail.He sent information to 49 other states, and the Abington Police Department in Pennsylvania called back to say that Stephanie Jenny Carr lived in their jurisdiction and her mother was Donna Mullen. Donna Mullen told Jon Crawford on the phone that from 1978 to 1981, she lived with Cliff Pulanto, and when Cliff went to California, Donna gave him Stephen Ni's photo. Jon Crawford receives a long-distance call from San Diego from a woman who calls herself Dolly Dooling, saying she has an important lead on Robin Starley.Jon immediately took the first flight directly to San Diego. Dolly Dooling was Robin Starley's neighbor and friend in San Diego, and she had gone with Robin to the house of the Lonnie Bonds on Blue Mountain Road.Dolly had seen a picture of Leonard Luck in the newspaper recently, but she knew the same man as Joss Gunner. "At 8:30 in the morning on April 24, 1985, this Joss Gunner and an oriental man rang my doorbell. I just found out these days that he was Wu Qida. I asked: 'Who is that?' the door Someone outside said, 'Jos.' I asked, 'Who is Jos?' because I didn't know anyone named Jos, and he said, 'Jos from the North.' I recognized him as Bon The door was opened by a neighbor of the Des. Leonard told his friend to wait in the car." "Go back and wait in the car," repeated Jon Crawford. "Leonard said he found three of them dead, Lonnie Bond, Branda O'Connon and Robin Starley. Leonard said he and his friend Woo cleaned up the scene and then Burned and buried the body in the Indian manner. He also said the Bonds' baby was missing." "The child is missing." Jon used one of the interrogation techniques, repeating the last few words in the witness's words, guiding the other party to continue telling without any trace.This technique is generally used to gather situational inquiries, especially when the interlocutor does not know the context of the conversation. “He said there were clothes all over the house, but there were no IDs for the three people, and they didn’t find a gun. Leonard said they wanted to make it look like the Bonds had moved out, so as not to attract the police. " "Why didn't you call the police?" "I'm scared to death. Leonard said he wanted Robin's truck registration, Robin's diploma, Robin's bike, all of Robin's clothes, and the pistol he sold to Robin Receipt. Robin bought a gun from Leonard when we went to Westville together." "Bought a gun." "I told him I didn't have Robin's house key and he gave me Robin's key. I took him to Robin's place and he took Robin's clothes. But I didn't find the receipt at the time, Found it later." Dolly Dooling handed Jon a note, which read: "Sold to Robin Stariwalt a pistol, model PPK/S, 9 mm, serial number 1562315." Signed and signed: Joss Ganna. "I didn't find Robin's vehicle registration either. Leonard was upset and said, 'Well, when you find it, give me a call or send it to me, okay.'" "and after?" "He said that Robin's truck had been in an accident when they were driving that car into San Diego. I followed him out and he showed me where the gray Chevrolet family truck had been wrecked. Tatsuya was watching with us, but he didn't say anything. The truck seemed to hit a tree or something to the left of the driver's seat." "license?" "Special plate, AHOYMTY. I can remember this plate because there are a lot of sailors in San Diego." "meaning is--" "Navy lingo." Dolly also gave Jon a receipt for Robin Starley's repair of the camera, the Nikon model number 5022594.Dolly added later that Robin left for Wytheville on April 18. "Is there anything else you need to add?" Jon Crawford asked Dolly Dooling before leaving. "Also, Leonard actually told me exactly where they found the body. He said Branda's body was inside the house, Lonnie was on the front balcony, and Robin was outside the back door. He said there were no guns or drugs at the scene .”
