Unrecallable memory: Who's twisting the truth? By David L. Corwin Special to The Times "The most important and far-reaching issue about the situation described in Susan Kelleher's article ("Professor questions study, then others question her," Times page one, March 17) is the breach of an individual's right to privacy after she had agreed to the publication of a scientific article about her case....After my article appeared, Loftus, Guyer and a private investigator violated Jane's privacy by determining her real identity and interviewing her mother, brother, stepmother and foster mother. The investigator also attempted but failed to contact Jane. In May and July of 2001, Loftus and Guyer published two articles in the Skeptical Inquirer titled, "Who abused Jane Doe?"...Loftus and Guyer did not contact me prior to violating Jane's privacy nor did they obtain Jane's consent for determining her identity, interviewing her childhood caregivers or publishing their articles about her childhood and abuse allegations. It is also now clear that they did not have authorization by their universities' Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) for their actions regarding Jane Doe's case. A very important fact described in Kelleher's article was that Loftus did not respond to the UW Institutional Review Board's questions about her proposed research in Jane Doe's case because Michigan's IRB had given her co-author, Melvin Guyer, the "go ahead to proceed." After reading this in Kelleher's article, I began to suspect some "truth twisting" about an IRB approving the violation of Jane Doe's privacy. I inquired about this assertion with the University of Michigan IRB office and was informed that it has no record of any such approval for research by Guyer on this case. The Michigan IRB had decided that the study did not come within its scope. Such a decision is not a "go ahead" but rather a caution that the IRB committee is not providing its approval or guidance nor is it forbidding the applicant from using his or her own judgment on how to proceed. Also, approval at one institution in no way constitutes approval for another institution without prior agreement." http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/PrintStory.pl?document_id=134917750&zsection_id=268883724&slug=corwin06&date=20030606 or http://shorterlink.com/?Q4QZF1
Professor questions study, then others question her By Susan Kelleher Seattle Times staff reporter "From the start, the methods used by Loftus and Guyer in re-examining the case were unorthodox. Instead of going to Corwin for more information or permission to talk with Jane, Loftus and Guyer picked up on clues — her real first name, locations, the year of her parents' divorce and her father's death — and figured out Jane's full name and whereabouts. With the help of a private investigator, they dug up divorce records and interviewed three women who knew Jane: her birth mother, foster mother and stepmother. The results of their investigation appeared in the Skeptical Inquirer, a mass-circulation magazine..." http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/education/134654818_loftus170.html

Mayor's 'affair' with serial killer Paul Webster in Paris 6/6/03 "The scandal over alleged links between top officials in Toulouse and France's most notorious serial killer deepened yesterday when a news magazine revealed allegations that the former mayor, Dominique Baudis, had a sexual relationship with the murderer, Patrice Alègre." http://www.guardian.co.uk/france/story/0,11882,971714,00.html
Judge jailed over sex party abuse case 6/6/03 "A German judge, who held regular sex
parties at his home, has been jailed for three years for assisting a rape. A court in Berlin on Wednesday found him guilty of helping one of the guests rape a 19-year-old Slovakian woman. He had denied the charge, but then made a surprise confession." http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/06/05/1054700339047.html
Orgies, torture, murder and the mayor By Rob Parsons in Toulouse "The people of Toulouse, though, are in a state of shock. They find themselves at the centre of a scandal that is by turns both horrifying and fascinating France. At the centre of it all is Dominique Baudis, a 56-year-old former television presenter, whose family name is a part of the fabric of the city. Dominique's father was elected mayor here in 1971, staying on until 1983, when Dominique himself took over. It was the start of a reign that would last until 2001. Eighteen years of uninterrupted power.By most accounts, Baudis is the epitome of discretion, a very private man not given to taking risks. Yet, if the accusations of a serial killer and two former prostitutes, Fanny and Patricia, are true, the public facade masked a private life of astonishing depravity.The two women allege that, among other things, that Baudis and Patrice Allegre, who is now serving a life sentence for five murders and six rapes, used the house on the lake for sado-masochistic orgies involving the torture of prostitutes, some of whom were under age.In a letter from his prison cell, Allegre has confirmed the stories of the two women. Patricia has told the police she witnessed him strangle a young prostitute at the house in December 1991 and that she saw him throw the body into the lake. He also admitted killing Claude Martinez, a transvestite and male prostitute, who had filmed orgies at the house with a hidden camera and was trying to blackmail prominent local personalities. But Allegre goes further still. He killed Martinez, he says, on the orders of four leading figures in Toulouse society, among them a senior magistrate, a high-ranking policeman and Dominique Baudis." http://www.sundayherald.com/34468
