Where Was Michael Jackson The Case of the Blue Surgical Masks

The Singer Michael Jackson and  Blue Surgical Masktch

The Singer Michael Jackson and Blue Surgical Mask

 Is Michael Jackson a common crook is this” King Of Pop “  taking advantage of the deadly swine  pathogens which may yet  still cause a world wide pandemic?

 Was Michael in Mexico when thieves wearing Blue Surgical Masks made off with  stolen watches and blended into a crowd wearing the blue surgical masks. 

 Because of his ” habit”  and if we may say ” trademark”  signature trait of wearing blue surgical masks as his unique modus operandi  he clearly must be suspect  number one.

 We have motive ( financial hardship and duress.  As I would not want to piggyback of defamatory news regarding this icon.  It is not my subjective opinion  objective News reports  and the highly distinguished BBC have informed us that  Michael is near bankruptcy. Sadly even his beloved “never never land ” estate is for sale .  See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2943120.stm

 Sadly, in law enforcement we must follow every and it pains me to say Michael surrender, Michael you need help Michael we hate the sin but still love the sinner don’t prolong the inevitable don’t waste the taxpayer money in a dragnet to apprehend you come forward!

On a serous note, with most of the world concerned about a possible pandemic swine flu and caring about each other by taking precautionary measures ( mask, washing hands, covering our mouth when we cough).

Another class of persons thieves and criminals could care less. In fact Mexican police now report that perpetrators who stole some watches were wearing health masks when they stole some goods.  See http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090427/od_nm/us_mexico_thieves

This assisted their escape as they waddled into the crowd who were barely distinguishable as everyone had protective blue surgical masks on.

As the saying goes one man misery is another mans gold.  The CDC has released guidelines on travel to Mexico. See http://www.examiner.com/x-3804-Baltimore-Family-Travel-Examiner~y2009m4d27-Mexican-vacations-and-the-Swine-Flu

Mexican Drug Cartel Tells Members ” Just Say No! “

April 27, 2009 · Leave a Comment

"EL CEDE" Leader of the family Mexican Narco Cartel

"EL CEDE" Leader of the family Mexican Narco Cartel

It seems more and more people are Hypocrites. Now add  the powerful Mexican Drug Cartel  known as ” La Familia ” who only draws members who are raised in the  Michoacan region ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michoac%C3%A1n)  of Mexico.  La Familia has a defacto employee handbook. And in their efforts make their  business model more effective, they are instructing and have trained thousands of employeees to avoid drugs and other vices. The orgainzation has up to 4000 members and pays them a repoteded salary of $1500. 00 ( See http://mexidata.info/id1933.html) and   See http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090420/od_nm/us_mexico_drugs_odd;_ylt=AorOu2ziKP5bsGheRmlXhgASH9EA

It seems like Mr. Cedeno new effort to have ethics in his organization hit a snag after Mexican Police arrested him. See http://trendsupdates.com/a-severe-blow-to-%e2%80%98the-family%e2%80%99-drug-cartel-in-mexico/ Mr. Cedeno in addition to his drug activities actively promotes prostitution of High School teenagers.  To keep his crew and enemies at  bay he is known to decapitate those who run afoul of his organization. In fact Mexico leads democratic nations in criminal executions. According to “EL Universal”  ( http://english.eluniversal.com/ ) Mexico’s leading paper  ” in 2008  12,061 people have died at the hands of organized crime, 46.5% of them in this past year.  Multi-executions characterized 2008.  In August, a dozen decapitated bodies with signs of torture were discovered stacked in a pile in the state of Yucatan See http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/86702 For a summary of the organization see :http://www.fpri.org/enotes/200901.grayson.lafamilia.html

Mr. Cedeno was apprehended at a family celebration and Mexican police had to utilized an airplane and two blackhawk helicopters.  While his arrest is important , the DEA has reported displacement of the drug cartels as they head south to other nations. See http://www.wptz.com/politics/19187746/detail.html

Mexico and here in the U.S. when one drug dealer is arrested or incarcerated, or killed another group quickly forms this is called the “hydra effect”. See http://books.google.com/books?id=baWsThZgBaQC&pg=PA18&lpg=PA18&dq=hydra+effect&source=bl&ots=QGwBsUj-9Y&sig=Niphx5KhbzbD3om3SFMJZedUmAw&hl=en&ei=X0H2SaSoGqC0NdKJ7ccP&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8

David Kellermann CFO Freddie Mac Commits Suicide.

April 22, 2009 · 1 Comment

David Kellermann CFO Freddie Mac Dead Apparent Suicide at 41.

David Kellermann CFO Freddie Mac Dead Apparent Suicide at 41.

David Kellermann the Acting Financial Chief of Freddie Mac has been found dead in his residence.  See http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=aBxYH7szIVOA&refer=us 

His Corporate profile is here : http://www.freddiemac.com/bios/exec/kellermann.html He is reported to have been a volunteer for the D.C. coalition for the Homeless. See http://www.dccfh.org/

He was only 41 and the original reports are stating that his death is an apparent suicide.  However, because of the complicated financial crisis in the nation this has become national news. Why, does a young man kill himself and leave his family behind.  As such the motive for his suicide must be examined . The Fairfax Police have the investigation. See http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/police/news-releases/

  Reports stated the last CFO  of Freddie Mac had his own personal financial crisis see : http://www.luxist.com/2008/09/19/freddie-mac-cfo-home-on-the-market-estate-of-the-day/

Rahm Emanuel Former Board Memeber Freddie Mac

Rahm Emanuel Former Board Memeber Freddie Mac

Some of the scandals at Freddie Mac  were reportedly committed while President Obama’s right hand man and Chief of Staff  Rahm Emanuel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel  was a member of the Board of Directors of the dysfunctional government- private entity.  In fact reports indicated that Emanuel was aware of accounting fraud and enhance lobying for Freddie Mac, which was later detrimental to the organization.  See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2215640/posts and  http://www.hispanicbusiness.com/news/2009/3/26/freddie_mac_scandals_began_during_emanuels.htm and see http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=6201900

While no one can at the present time connect the past and present players at Freddie, I believe this scandal will grow. Power, Money, greed , Washington D.C. banking, politics are all ingredients for a scandal. 

Legally many past and present Board of Directors have seemingly not acted in accordance with the legal duties a board member  must subscribe and adhere to.  However, one of the duties of  Board Members is to hire and fire Corporate Officers.  See http://smallbusiness.findlaw.com/business-structures/corporations/corporations-structure.html

Who hired Mr. Kellermann his resume is light for a man charged with running the finances of a billion dollar organization?

Open Secrets http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/09/update-fannie-mae-and-freddie.html gives you a list of the generous contributions Freddie made to politician’s.  Talk about conflict of interests.!

Fannie Mae the sister of Freddie in the mortgage debacle hired Barney Franks lover as an official despite his ” light” credentials. See http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,432501,00.html

God Rest Mr. Kellermann and peace to his family, but I have suspicions, especially because he did not get this job without connections. Baring some domestic or deep medical depression history  questions are unanswered.

In my opinion any action taken by Freddie and Fannie  is dubious and skepticism should surround whether these entitles still serve the nation. See http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZjRjYzE0YmQxNzU4MDJjYWE5MjIzMTMxMmNhZWQ1MTA=

Computers And Videos Limit Serial Killers Reign’s of Terror.

April 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment

 Here is the official police statement involving the ” Craigslist Killer”.:

 On Tuesday April 14, 2009, at approximately 10:13pm, officers from District 4 responded to a report of an unconscious female at the Copley Marriott Hotel at 110 Huntington Ave. Upon arrival, hotel security updated the police that the unconscious female may have been the victim of an assault, possibly a stabbing. Officers observed Ms. Brisman suffering from what was determined to be multiple gunshot wounds to the torso. The recent media attention to sex crimes and associated homicides may be a good thing for those of us in law enforcement.  In the past serial sex killers such as Jeffery Dahmer,  Lacey, BTK  and the Son of Sam David Berkowitz were able to elude detection for prolonged periods of time. As such they enjoyed media attention and placed citizens in a state of ” fear”.  For a list of male and female sex offenders see :http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/serial_killers/predators/index.html

Cameras, Video, Surveillance, DNA and Computers Assist Police Investigators.

Today we are in the age of computers and cameras and detectives and investigators can often obtain critical evidence from both sources.  The recent capture by Boston Police http://www.bpdnews.com/ of Philip Markoff  illustrates progressive and preemptive law enforcement.  See: http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2009/04/bu_student_char.html  son-of-sam-sketchIn the past there was little “direct evidence ” http://www.criminal-law-lawyer-source.com/terms/direct-evidence.htmlof  a suspect. Police had to rely on “eye witness ” identification ( which a defense lawyer can quickly discredit) , police sketch artist would do the best they could in  compiling a rendition of the suspect.

In this case there was alot of evidence. First the gun used in two similar patterns both at hotels.  Second Cameras in the hotel and street.  NOTE the ACLU strongly opposes public cameras see http://www.aclu.org/privacy/spying/15177res20021205.html ) This case is important to show how important public cameras are to fight crime , deter crime and apprehend dangerous felons. In addition any computer used by the victims is traceble with the IP address.  Which leads investigtiors to his Facebook page and Craigslist tracks,. In this case the alleged killer Mr. Markoff has a website promoting his wedding, and  not surprisingly his fiancee is standing by her man. See http://www.megan-philip.com/?st=wc.  While Governor Spitzer of New York never killed anyone or physically harmed a ” call girl, he also  obtained high priced ” hookers” , ( see http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/0312084kristen1.html)  

Myth Busters The Rich, Privileged and Well Educated Commit Crimes

Spitzer like Markoff is an example that the high heeled boys, country club kids, children of wealth privilege and higher education are not above criminal behavior.  Those of us in law enforcement know that teens and young adults in an urban community are more likely to be arrested and have a criminal record as opposed to the wealthy who can hide their illegal behavior. In the City kids hang in the park, and streets ( house parties in multipledwelling apartments where residents call police)  easily observable. Whereas the more economically benefited communities often commit illegal behavior behind closed doors. e.g. ( dorm, country club, friends single houses when parents are away ( 2nd homes) .

Killing Periods of Serial Killers May Decline But Negligent Policing Must Be Curtailed.

In the past serial killers eluded police for substantial periods of time. Now with Cameras everywhere, Computers and social networking sites including twitter, and  serial killers are being apprehend in a shorter time period.  Jeffery Dahmer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Dahmer killed over a four year span. The BTK killer Dennis Rader  committed crimes from 1974-1991. David Berkowitz 8 people over 2 years.   As such this and the recent killing of George Weber and the quick apprehension of a his alleged killer  George Katehis ( see http://www.queerty.com/george-webers-killer-60-craigslist-teen-20090325/)  indicate we have new technology which may limit and shorten the time frame of serial and non serial killers.

Shody Police Work May Permit Criminals to Continue Crime Spree And DNA Limitations.

A recent serial sex offender in England eluded police for over four years before becoming a suspect. During this period Kirk Reid is alleged to have committed over 70 sexual assaults. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7961431.stm In this case police obtained “DNA” from prior  incident locations but failed to swap Reid in a timely manner, and  as such negligently contributing to his crime spree and rightfully eroding confidence in British Police elite sex crimes unit.

DNA, is a remarkable tool and very direct evidence to inculpate and exculpate a defendant. Recently German Police spend millions of dollars and a remarkable amount of manpower chasing an illusionary fairy”  killer female serial . DNA recovered in numerous incidents indicated a serial killer, and they actually thought the phantom killer may have killed a police officer. It turns out that the DNA cotton swabs used to gather DNA evidence had been contaminated, possibly by a female in the factory that manufactured the DNA recovery swabs. See http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1888126,00.html

As such it is highly foreseeable that the defense bar will not try to question the integrity of “DNA” based upon the sanitary, and sterilization safeguards at all facets of DNA recovery, and testing facilities. Memories are short lived but recall how Barry Scheck  ( http://www.innocenceproject.org/Content/137.php ) a defense lawyer for the infamous O.J. Simpson murder trial was able to establish reasonable doubt regarding “contamination of DNA.” See http://phobos.ramapo.edu/~jweiss/laws131/unit3/simpson.htm In this case the defense displayed a picture of LAPD  Detective Furhman standing in an area with a blood stain. ( They also suggested he “planted ” blood evidence. However, innocent contamination can and does occur if people mishandle evidence or contaminate same.  (i.e. walking in a victims blood than entering a car leaving blood marks, and later attempting to place the defendant in a car based upon DNA blood evidence, which may have been unintentionally transferred to the auto by sloppy police work).

One study in England ( which seems fair ) is to require DNA sampling of all police officers.  This is to improve low  template DNA testing. See http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1584683/DNA-profile-police-to-prevent-crime-scene-contamination.html In England as well “DNA Boost” is a new technique which may open cold cases as it can seperate multiple sources of DNA ( see http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/lawandorder/5037895/Thousands-of-cold-cases-could-be-reopened-thanks-to-new-DNA-technique.html , as such it is imperative not to further contaminate crime scenes.
