Fellow DXers:
Having been a newspaper reporter covering law enforcement for 20+ years
I can tell you whoever this is will spill the beans so to speak
eventually. People just like to brag. I've written about 100's of
cases where it wasn't necessarily good police work that solved it
(although once the information was out officers ran with the information
to develop the necessary information for filing charges, but it was
actually the suspect opening his mouth to his wife (who he may have
gotten mad later), a jilted girlfriend, or just bragging that lead to
the break in the case..
Heck back in the late 1960s I covered a double homicide/robbery where
two men were fatally shot in the head during the robbery of a mom and
pop grocery. Well the police gave me a description of the wrong caliber
weapon used, and a few days later the suspect shot another man during a
poolroom argument in the same way as the two robbery victims (between
the eyes), then waited for the sheriff to arrest him because he thought
he could get off on self defense since the other man was "armed" with a
pool cue.. He turned in the gun that police matched to the earlier
robbery. While in jail he started blabbing to everyone locked up in the
small county jail that he was the big man in the double
homicide/robbery. So officers did a ballistics test and 'viola the
bullet striations on fragments from the robbery and the poolroom killing
matched. He ended up getting the death penalty in 1970, but it was
changed the life imprisonment when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the
death penalty about 1972 or so.

Actually, according to information posted on Bernie's Daily DX site,
it was not "some bureaocrat/political appointee," but rather a
licensed amateur who complained to his congressperson, who then
complained to the FWS.
So, it is a licensed amateur, motivated by reasons known only to
him/her at this point, that "allegedly" was responsible for getting
the KP5 operation shut down. It would be nice to know who this amateur
is...

Not surprised.....some bureaocrat/political appointee was mad that he
was not consulted etc....
The sad part is that dope runners and others go ashore there all the
time without getting caught.
