I have in my possession five boxes of documents, obtained from a
convicted methamphetamine chemist [[Michael Riconosciuto]] whose closest
friends were a 20-year CIA operative [[Robert Booth Nichols]] and a former
FBI Senior-Agent-in-Charge of the Los Angeles and Washington D.C. bureaus
[[Ted Gunderson]]. The labyrinthine involvements of these people and their
corporate partners is revealed in this manuscript, along with information
obtained by Washington D.C. journalist Danny Casolaro prior to his death in
1991.
-------
On an impulse, I picked up the phone and called Gunderson's telephone
number listed at the top of the attached resume. The resume was
impressive. He'd worked as SAC (Senior Special Agent in Charge) at Los
Angeles FBI headquarters, Washington D.C. headquarters and in Dallas,
Texas. It would be two years before I would grasp the significance of
the Dallas connection. After retiring from the FBI, he'd worked for F.
Lee Baily, Esq., then formed his own investigative agency in Los Angeles
county.
------
Unknown to me at the time, I had taken a quantum leap in the direction
of the Octopus when I contacted Ted Gunderson. The mystery of the
Mariposa coverups would soon be divulged through an associate of his, a
former member of "The Company" in nearby Fresno, California.
-----
He was a big, handsome man with an aging face and tossled silver hair. He
seemed
entirely unaware of his appearance or the appearnce of his home, but his
pale eyes were intelligent and probing. Intuitively, I knew he was more
than he appeared to be.
-----
In the van, reviewing the documents, I wondered what relationship they
had to Mariposa County and why I was given the packet. The documents
were far ranging, beyond anything I had heretofore imagined. But within
days of my visit to Gunderson, I would be introduced to the Octopus.
------
The following morning, at 7:30 a.m., I received a collect call from a
man who identified himself as Michael Riconosciuto (pronounced
Riconoshooto). Riconosciuto, calling from the Pierce County jail in
Tacoma, Washington, said he had been informed by Gunderson that I was
investigating a corruption/drug ring in Mariposa County. For 45 minutes
Riconosciuto related the names of those in charge of methamphetamine
operations in Mariposa, Madera and Fresno counties.
-------
I interrupted him [Michael Riconosciuto], wanting to know where HE fit into
the picture?
"Well, I served as Director of Research for the Wackenhut facility at
the Cabazon Indian reservation in Indio, California. In 1983/84 I
modified the PROMISE computer software to be used in law enforcement and
intelligence agencies worldwide. A man named Earl Brian was spearheading
a plan for worldwide use of the software, but essentially, the modified
software was being pirated from the owners, Bill and Nancy Hamilton."
------
In subsequent documents obtained from Michael's secret hiding place in
the California desert, I located documents which indicated Michael had
first been recruited into the CIA by Al Holbert.
-----
Riconosciuto had been communicating regularly with
journalist Danny Casolaro prior to his death on August 10, 1991 when
Danny's nude body was found in the bathtub of room 517 of the Sheraton
Hotel in Martinsburg, West Virginia. His wrists had been slashed ten or
twelve times.
-----
He [Danny Casolaro] told friends that he "had traced the Inslaw and related
stories back to a dirty CIA `Old Boy' network" that had begun working
together in the 1950's around the Albania covert operations. These men had
gotten into
the illegal gun and drug trade back then and had continued in that
business ever since.
Before his death, Danny had made plans to visit the Wackenhut
Corporation in Indio, California, and even considered naming his book,
"Indio."
--------
Ted Gunderson was one of the few "cooperating" witnesses at Michael's
trial. Through his affidavit and testimony, Ted hoped to supply the
defense with needed corroboration of Michael's covert government
sanctioned activities. Unfortunately for Michael, Ted could not disclose
numerous activities which had included Robert Booth Nichols. At one
time Gunderson, Nichols and Riconosciuto had been inseparable, like the
three musketeers. But, Nichols was currently under investigation by the
Los Angeles FBI for alleged involvement in organized crime in the U.S.
and abroad.
Fortunately, however, Gunderson's resume added credibility to the
provocative affidavit he entered into court on Michael's behalf. He had
been Senior Special Agent in Charge (SAC) at Los Angeles FBI
headquarters from 1977 to 1979 when he retired from the FBI and went to
work as chief investigator for F. Lee Bailey, Esq. Prior to that, from
1960 to 1965, Gunderson was Special Agent Supervisor at FBI headquarters
in Washington, D.C.. Interestingly, amongst a prestigious list of
positions nationwide, he was also SAC from 1973 to 1977 in Dallas, Texas
(where he became friends with Clint Murchison, Jr., according to his
live-in partner, J.M.. J.M. stated in phone interviews that she and
Gunderson attended parties with Murchison in Dallas, and Gunderson
phoned him often from their Manhattan Beach home).
--------
[[Gunderson:]]
"It was my understanding from the discussion that we were working on a
legally sanctioned arms assistance project to the Afghan rebels and that
Ralph Olberg was working through the Afghan desk at the State Department
as well as through Senator Humphreys office. "This was subsequently
confirmed by journalist Danny Casolaro who was recently `suicided.'
-------
[[Author:]]
Later in my investigation, I obtained from Michael Riconosciuto's files
in the desert, a handwritten note from "T.G." to "Michael" which read as
follows: "Raymond is arriving at LAX 7:55 p.m. Air Canada via Flight 793
from Toronto. Will have to go through Customs. This will give us another
member for our drug/arms operation." The note gave a telephone number
where "T.G." could be reached. "Raymond," referred to in the note, is
presumably Raymond Lavas, Gunderson's former forensic's expert during
his tenure in the FBI.
