Waco Siege Investigator Found Dead In His Home

Carlos Ghigliotti, who had been retained by a U.S. House
committee to help investigate the 1993 siege of the Branch
Davidian compound in Waco, Tex., was found dead in Laurel under
unexplained circumstances yesterday.

"We're investigating it as a homicide," said Laurel police
spokesman Jim Collins. Ghigliotti, 42, was found about 1:30 p.m.
in the 600 block of Washington Boulevard. His body was badly
decomposed, said police. There were no signs of a break-in or a
struggle at the home, where Ghigliotti ran his business, Infrared
Technologies Corp., police said. An expert in thermal imaging and
videotape, Ghigliotti told the House Government Reform Committee
in October that his analysis of tapes at Waco indicated that an
FBI agent fired shots at the compound on April 19, the final day
of the siege--a view disputed by the FBI.

Michael Caddell, lead lawyer in a $100 million wrongful death
lawsuit stemming from the Waco siege, said last night that he
recently had discussed the findings with Ghigliotti and intended
to retain him--not only because his work was impressive but also
because Caddell's first expert had suffered a stoke recently.
Caddell said that two weeks ago he wrote to Waco Special Counsel
John C. Danforth, urging that he interview Ghigliotti
immediately. Caddell said he'd heard of Ghigliotti's death
yesterday from Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.), chair of the committee
that retained Ghigliotti. Police called Burton, Caddell said,
because his business card was found in Ghigliotti's pocket.

A building manager, concerned that no one had seen Ghigliotti for
some weeks, contacted police, who found the body. Michael
McNulty, who made a documentary film about Waco that was
instrumental in reopening the investigation, said he had been
looking forward to seeing Ghigliotti's conclusions. He added, "My
impression is that the work he did was significant and
important."

Ghigliotti's body was transported to the chief medical examiner's
office in Baltimore for an autopsy.
