The report that Prozac was found in the home
of Larry Gene Ashbrook, who went on a murder
spree in a Texas church, has suddenly changed.
The AP reports that investigator "Lt. Mark Krey
retracted his earlier remarks in which he said
police found a vial of the antidepressant
Prozac with Ashbrook's name on it." [1]

The new story is that the only medications in
the house were his fathers, but the father of
Larry is named Jack -- two different names!
How could police have mistaken a vial with
the name "Jack" on it for one with the name
"Larry" on it? The initial report states:

  "A doctor had prescribed the anti-
  depressant drug Prozac for Larry Gene
  Ashbrook ... police found a Prozac vial
  with Ashbrook's name and want to ask
  doctors why it was prescribed. ...
  FBI officials said they  ALSO  found
  nine vials of prescription drugs for
  Jack Ashbrook..." (emphasis added) [2]

So the initial report clearly indicates that
a distinction had been made between vials with
"Larry" on them and vials with "Jack" on them,
since nine vials belonged to Jack and one vial
belonged to Larry. It also stipulates that since
the Prozac vial was Larry's, they planned to
take the next step of contacting the doctor who
made the prescription, which indicates that they
were really sure it said "Larry," not "Jack."

Furthermore, the initial Star-Telegram report
said that Larry's father was "his anchor to
reality and his caretaker to ensure he took his
medication." But now it seems that his father
did not ensure he took his medication because
it suddenly seems that he took no medication.
There out is to say he took another medication.

Gee, this certainly appears to have all the
sings of a cover-up. In fact, such a dramatic
change of story is prima-facie evidence of a
cover-up. The WorldNetDaily recently reported
that anti-psychiatry activist Dennis Clarke

  "...claims that pharmaceutical companies
  go to great lengths and expense to cover
  up the problems that take place. When an
  incident of violence occurs, the
  pharmaceutical "crash teams" go to work
  to keep things quiet, according to Clarke.

  Teams of psychiatrists are sent to the
  places where incidents take place and
  quickly work to see that medical records
  are kept sealed, doctors are convinced
  to remain silent, and victims are given
  monetary payments to prevent them from
  ever going to court.

  "It's all being covered up, and it's
  deliberate. There are billions and
  billions of dollars at stake here,"
  explained Clarke. ..." [3]

Think how easy it could be, a couple million
dollars could change a lot of stories, like
maybe the one that just changed. Such expenses
could easily be less than the loses in sales that
would occur if people realize that these drugs
are harmful and if law suits start rolling in
not only from users but the people they killed.
Clearly, there needs to be an investigation of
this now-we-found-it-now-we-didn't investigation.
