Chapter 61 first quarter

Independence Day in 1998 happened to be on a Saturday, and the festival plus weekend made the bustling and busy Manhattan peaceful and quiet.No one of the NYPD detectives expected that two big cases were waiting for them. That afternoon, a dozen or so detectives from the FBI and NYPD's Fugitive Hunting Task Force were called to their headquarters in Manhattan after an Independence Day barbecue at their respective homes.David Stowe, special agent of the FBI, told everyone at the meeting that the Los Angeles Police Department in California called and asked the New York side to assist in the arrest of two wanted criminals suspected of fraud and murder—Xintai Kaimes, female, 64 Kenny Kaimes, male, 23 years old.

More than three months ago, on March 14, a homeless man scavenging for trash found a body in a dumpster near Los Angeles International Airport.The body was packed in a large, extra-thick black garbage bag, which was bound with electrical cable tape.The name of the deceased was Dawei Kazdin, a 63-year-old male, who was shot in multiple places in the head, neck and chest.From the bullets taken out of his body and other clues, it was found that the murder weapon was a . 22 Janine pistol. The owner of the gun was named Stanley Paterson, a construction engineer in Las Vegas, Nevada. On June 27, when Los Angeles Police Department officers Dennis Ingle and William Coker in charge of the case found Stanley Paderson in Las Vegas, they found out that the pistol had been transferred to the police station before the incident. In the hands of a mother and son named Ai Lun and Kenny.

Dennis English and William Coker learned in interviews that in 1997, Stanley Paderson, who had worked for 19 years, was fired by the company.Forced to make ends meet, the 55-year-old had to find some odd jobs from newspaper advertisement columns. In January 1998, Stanley was employed by a woman named Ai Lun.The newspaper ads were for home repairs and moving, but Ellen wanted Stanley to help move the family to Los Angeles.Ellen's son Kenny learned that Stanley collected all kinds of guns and expressed great interest in it.The mother and son made a special trip to Stanley's home to visit his collection, and expressed their willingness to buy some guns. Stanley is also planning to sell some of his property due to financial constraints.However, due to various reasons, there was no deal on that day.

A month later, in February 1998, Kenny called Stanley from Los Angeles and asked him to transport the furniture and other items they stored in the home warehouse from Las Vegas to Los Angeles again, and asked him to take it with him. Two .22 Janine pistols.Kenny finally asked Stanley on the phone: "Can you tell me how to silence it?" "Why are you muffled?" Stanley asked. "I want to practice shooting in the backyard, but it's not good to disturb the neighbors." "Find a potato, dig a hole with a knife and put it on the barrel, and the effect is similar to that of a regular muffler."

"It's that simple?!" In Los Angeles, Kenny took two guns and said they were "to try the fire", and soon returned one, and told Stanley that he wanted the other. But until Stanley left Los Angeles, Kenny neither paid nor went through the gun transfer procedures.Stanley muttered to himself but couldn't say anything, because Ellen said he would be given more jobs and buy more guns. Now, what Stanley was most worried about finally happened. Dennis English and William Coker asked for some more details, and took down the addresses and phone numbers of Ellen and Kenny in Los Angeles.They explicitly told Stanley that he must cooperate with the authorities or he would be prosecuted as an accomplice.

By this time, Ellen and Kenny's apartment in Los Angeles was empty.However, the police quickly found out that the mother and son's surname was Kaimes, and the son's name was Kenny. The mother's real name was Xiantai. In addition, she had 22 aliases or pseudonyms, or used names, including a "Ms. Long". self-proclaimed number.The professional crook's criminal record dates back to 1961.As of 1998, she had been arrested more than ten times. She was accused of crimes including theft, robbery, slavery, and forgery of documents.Kenny became Xiantai's accomplice when he became an adult.

The victim, Dawei Kazdin, was once a business partner of Kenny's deceased father, Ken Kaimes. While hiding the property, Dawie agreed to put Ken's property on Geelongnemo Road in Las Vegas in his name.Dawei later ran a copier shop and was preparing to retire before he was killed. Strictly speaking, the Los Angeles Police Department has no conclusive evidence to arrest the Kemes mother and son, but there is a wanted warrant in Utah.Xian Tai and Kenny used an illegal check to defraud the purchase of a dark green Lincoln limousine at the Parkway car dealership in Cedar City, the state in February of that year.

Soon, Stanley Paterson received a call from "Ellen" from New York at 7:15 am on July 2. "Ellen" asked him to go to New York to take over a luxury apartment building called the Suleman Building.She instructed Stanley in detail to drive out all the tenants first, and then rent again after the interior and exterior decoration of the entire apartment was completed, and then Stanley was the manager and maintenance engineer of the apartment building. "Xi Lun" took special care of Stanley to bring some of his "toys" - guns.Stanley said he needed to think about it, and called the LAPD immediately after hanging up.

Later, "Ai Lun" called Stanley several times.It was not until the night of July 3, the first day of Independence Day, that they finally agreed that Stanley would fly to New York on the morning of July 5, stay at the Hilton Hotel, and contact "Ellen" from there on his mobile phone. On Sunday morning, July 5, Stanley arrived at JFK Airport in New York.As previously agreed with the police, he was dressed head-to-toe in denim, and was greeted by two FBI officers. "Are you Mr. DeWitt?" "Not today," Stein replied in code. "My middle name is DeWitt."

Stanley was taken directly to the fugitive squad headquarters on the 28th floor of the FBI building.After an hour of investigation, he and a dozen detectives led by David Stowe came to the Hilton Hotel at the intersection of 6th Street and West 54th Avenue.At 11:02 in the morning, Stanley started to call "Ai Lun" - Xiantai's mobile phone, but no one answered it several times in a row, and each time he left a message saying that he had arrived at the Hilton Hotel. At 11:26, Xiantai finally called back, saying that they were on the Garden State Avenue in New Jersey, the car had a breakdown, and it would take two hours to meet with Stanley.After nearly three hours, Xiantai's mobile phone was turned off.

At 2:24 p.m., Stanley spoke to Xian Tai again. She said that there was still some problem with the car, but she would try her best to get to the Hilton Hotel within half an hour.Xian Tai didn't come until around 5 o'clock.She told Stanley that Kenny had sent the car to the garage and it would take a while to arrive.She took Stanley to the bar for a drink first, and then to the restaurant for some snacks, saying that they would wait for Kenny to come and then we would find a high-end restaurant for a big meal together.After 7:00 p.m., Xiantai and Stanley returned to 6th Street, where they met a young man with black hair.Stanley took off his cowboy hat to indicate that the police Kenny had arrived, and the detectives who were ambushing around surrounded him and handcuffed all three of them.After the two police cars carrying Xiantai and Kenny disappeared at the intersection, David Stowe released Stanley's handcuffs, called a taxi, and ordered the driver to take him to the airport. The police seized from Kenny several identification documents such as Max Schur's credit card and driver's license. Erman's American Express credit card, two sets of keys marked with red nail polish, and a receipt for the underground parking lot at 6th Street and West 44th Avenue, which was parked at 6:40 p.m. point.David Stowe drove there with a police officer. It was the dark green Lincoln limousine with Utah temporary license plates on it. When Xiantai was arrested, the police immediately confiscated an unusually heavy black handbag she was carrying. Inside the bag was a thick wad of cash, a total of 10,000 U.S. dollars, in addition to a mobile phone and several ID cards. Lynn Suleman's ID and documents, including passports, check books, etc. "Who is Irene Suleman?" "A friend, a ballet dancer. Sometimes she asks me to keep these documents for her." Xian Tai said. On the same day at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, on the other side of Manhattan, the 19th District Police Station at 3rd Street and East 67th Avenue received a call to the police from a real estate manager named Jeff Feig, saying that his commission People, 82-year-old wealthy widow Erin Suleman, owner of the Suleman Building, a luxury condominium at 5th Street and East 65th Avenue, is missing.Jeff Feige said he got home after shopping at 5 p.m. and got a phone message from a friend and friend of Eileen Suleman's, Carol Hansen, saying it was at the Suleman Building The old lady was nowhere to be found.Due to her advanced age, Mrs. Suleman has never gone out alone in the past ten years.Jeff Feig immediately called Carol Hansing back, but no one answered.He called the apartment building again. Erin's weekend staff member, Alan Seri Levira, sounded nervous and anxious. She couldn't explain why for a long time, and only repeatedly asked Feige to hurry up on the phone. Suleman Building. The police officer on duty suggested that Feige go to the apartment building to look for it first. Jeff Feig arrives at the Suleman Building to be told by Alan Seri that most of the tenants have left New York this holiday weekend and only two remain in the apartment, Peter Jacobson, CBS TV Show Producer, and Moony Galin, Costume Designer, Room 1B.Peter Jacobson, as usual, stayed in his room after returning from the gym at 1 pm until around 3:30, then went out to Central Park, usually returning after 8 pm.Mooney Gaylin was always erratic. Feige and Alan Saili searched the five floors of the apartment and the roof garden on the sixth floor twice, and opened all the doors with the universal key. Only room 1B on the first floor could not be opened, but Yi still could not be found. Lynn Suleman's trace.In Mrs. Suleman's office suite in Room 1A on the first floor, Figg noticed that the door to the inner bedroom was open, and the closet in the bedroom was also open, and the inside was turned into a mess, which was not Irene's habit.The $10,000 in cash that Erin usually kept on the top shelf of her closet also disappeared. Jeff Feig called the police again.Soon, a police car stopped at the gate of Suleman Building.Soon, the three on-duty detectives and the emergency operation team from the 19th branch also arrived one after another.Feig told police that Irene Suleman was a short man with auburn hair, brown chestnut eyes and red-rimmed glasses.With the consent of the apartment manager, Romon Kashal, the police forcibly opened the door of Room 1B. After a rough search, there was no interesting discovery except for two rolls of black cable tape. While expanding the scope of the search, the police began to investigate and interview people around Irene Suleman.They learned that Irene was born in 1916 to a Greek mother and an Italian father.Erin grew up in a poor family. After her gambling and alcoholic father abandoned his wife and daughter, her mother brought her to New York from New Orleans.The mother had a good hand at needlework, and soon found a job as a costume maker in the ballet company, and gave her daughter the opportunity to learn ballet.Eileen began performing on stage at the age of 17. At the age of 24, she was spotted by a real estate businessman in the audience, Samuel Suleman, and got married the following year. In 1945, 29-year-old Irene Suleman left the stage and traveled the world with her husband, and soon became a shrewd and capable businesswoman. When Samuel Suleman died in 1980, he left Irene tens of millions of property.In addition to the Suleman Building, which is worth millions of dollars and has an annual income of more than 100,000, her property in Hawaii is worth 880,000 U.S. dollars, with an annual income of about 70,000, and her property in New Jersey is about 830,000. Tens of thousands of deposits and more than 1 million US dollars in various securities. Suleman Building has a total of more than ten staff members, and its tenants are all people with certain status.In addition to the TV producer mentioned above, there are doctors, costume designers, singers, chamber band conductors and foreign bankers. In early April 1998, a woman who identified herself as Ava called and said she was looking for an apartment for her boss, costume designer Mani Galing, and that she was Rudy, a Suleman Building food supplier. An old friend of Waka.Irene Suleman transferred the call to Valerie Meleau, who was in charge of leasing.Valerie told Ava that there is currently no one-bedroom suite she wants, and asked Ava's phone number for future contact."I don't have a fixed phone number, I'm in Mexico right now, I'll call you later," Ava said. As expected, Ava called frequently, claiming to be in a different place each time. At the end of May, after a guest moved out, Ava finally got her wish and booked a one-bedroom, one-living room 1B room.Valerie told her that the monthly rent was 6,000 US dollars, and Ava agreed that money was not a problem, and it was decided that Mani Gailin would move in on June 14. In the first half of June, Ava called three times to inquire about the number of employees in the building, their duties, and the situation of other tenants. From the first day Mani Gelin moved into 1B, his mysterious whereabouts have aroused people's discussion.He didn't allow staff to come to his room to clean and water the plants, and when he entered and exited the building, he always crept along the walls to avoid the detection of security cameras.From time to time, people found him gently opening a crack in the door, standing close to him as if eavesdropping or watching. Irene Suleman made no secret of her distaste for the new lodger, the snarky old lady who told everyone she met that Manny Guerin was "as smart as a mouse" and "smells like a prison ", is "a low-grade ruffian", and even said "I always feel that Mo Ni is following her".The police later found Erin's diary on a desk in her office, including several pages dedicated to Mani Gaylin.Perhaps the shrewd Mrs. Suleman sensed something, and she simply outlined Mooney's outline with sketches, focusing on his combed back hair and somewhat deformed nose, and guessed his age, height and weight.In her account, there is such a passage: "Since he moved in on June 14, a man and a woman have always come to see him, sometimes staying here overnight. The woman is a head shorter than him, but I only see him on the camera screen met her." Eileen Suleman has spoken to her real estate manager, Jeff Feig, about Mooney Galing on more than one occasion. On the afternoon of July 4, the day before she disappeared, Erin and Fige discussed at length how to draft a formal eviction order to be delivered to the unwanted tenant on Monday, July 6. On the evening of July 4th, Independence Day, Irene held a small party at home. Among the guests were her good friend, painter and reporter Carlo Hansen, and fashion designer Elva Sciclairy, etc. .The party didn't break up until after 12 midnight. On Sunday, July 5, Erin Suleman called a sick friend of hers, Helen Pandoraki, at 11:30 am, and left a message on Carlo Hansen's phone at 11:40, 11:00 At about 45 minutes, Alan Seri was ordered to do laundry and walk the dog on the roof garden. This was the last time anyone saw Erin Suleman alive. From 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Alan Saili first washes clothes in the laundry room in the basement, then goes to the garden on the top floor to walk the dog and feed the cat, and then returns to the kitchen in the basement.She called home first to listen to voice mail at home, made a few personal calls to friends, then made herself two hot dogs for lunch while listening to music. At 2:21 in the afternoon, Carlo Hansen heard a message on the phone after returning home from church, and immediately called Erin back, and it was Alan Seri who answered.Caro thought Irene was probably taking a nap. At around 4:40, Alan Seri received a strange call.An asexual voice on the other end of the line says "don't talk to the taxman" and "take good care of her dog" and so on.Alan Saili hurriedly called and told Carlo Hansen, and Carlo said: "Go and wake up Irene, don't hang up, I'll wait for you here. Take George." George is the name of Irene's dog . Alan Seri came back and said she couldn't wake Irene.Carlo asked her to go to Erin's room 1A again, banging on the door hard and shouting loudly.Alan Saili did so, but still no one answered.Carlo Hansen immediately dialed Jeff Feige's number and left a message on his phone. News of Irene Suleman's disappearance hit the front pages of newspapers and radio stations the next day.A large number of military police searched Central Park in Manhattan, as well as hospitals, morgues, garbage cans and other places where corpses might be hidden or discarded.The old lady hadn’t been found yet, and another missing case was reported on the news that night—the tenant Mani Gaelin, who had just moved into Room 1B of the Suleman Building for only three weeks, was missing.If Erin's diary and the testimony of the building staff were not enough for the police to list Mooney as a suspect, then this coincidence of disappearance at about the same time cannot but arouse people's suspicion.According to the description of the witnesses, the police drew a mock portrait of Mani Guerin and broadcast it on television along with the evening news. At 5:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 7, the 19th Police Precinct on the East Side of Manhattan received a call from the Fugitive Squad on the West Side of Manhattan: "I think we have someone you're looking for." So far, the two big cases during the Independence Day have merged into one huge case.The NYPD formally notified the Los Angeles Police Department and the Utah Police Department that the extradition of Sentai and Kenny Keymes is being held at this time. The public was in an uproar, and public opinion was in an uproar.Some people described the New York media industry at that time as a group of ants who encountered a feast and did not know what to eat first.Too much news to follow, too much history to dig.But people soon discovered that the reports of various companies, even the reports of different reporters of the same company, and even the previous and subsequent reports of the same reporter, all had inconsistent statements.Just like Shentai Kaimes has 22 names, she has four different birthdays, her mother is from two different countries, and she and Kenny's father, Ken Kaimes, have three different birthdates. Marriage date, some people say she has two children, others say three... In fact, all these are different stories that Xiantai himself fabricated on different occasions, in different moods, or for different purposes.
