MEMO TO FILE
Date: 02/07/87
Customs cooperation/interest in
Tallahassee /Washington MPD child abuse investigation.
On Thursday, 2/5/87, the duty agent, SS/A Bob Harrold, received
a call from SS/A Walter Krietlow, u S C S , Tallahasse-e, Florida.
SS/A Krietlow was seeking assitance in contacting an
appropriate local police' agency to. coordinate a child abuse
investigation in with the Tallahassee. Police Department. SS/A
Krietlow further, requested assistance in checking' some names,
addresses and a vehicle through the Cus toms Child Voz nog r aphy
Unit data base, and stated there was some susp 1 c ion "b'f .th"e
subjects being involved in supplying, children, for. the .
production of child pornography. Further, he was informed' by
the Tallahassee police Department that the children may have
been enroute to Mexico from the Washington, D.C. area. The
possibility of Customs interest, in the investigation due. to
possible- violations of the Child protection Act of 198 A, and
the alleged nexus with the U.S. /Mexican Border were. 'discussed *
and agreed. upon.- SS/A Krietlow related the following
background information. SS/A. K r i et low was contacted by the'
Tallahassee Police Department for assistance in identifying six
children and two , adults . taken into custody in the Tallahassee
area.' U.S. Customs was contacted because the police officers
involved suspected the adults of being involved in child
pornography and knew the customs Service to have a network of
child pornography investigators, and of the exi stance of the
Child pornography and Protection Unit. SS/A Krietlow stated
the two aduls were well dressed white males. They had custody
of six white children (boys and girls), ages three to six
years. The children were observed to be poorly dressed,
bruised,- dirty, and behaving like animal's in. a public park in
Tallahassee. The police were notified by a concerned. citizen-and all eight persons were taken into custody. The" 'subjects
were living out of a white 1979 Dodge van, Virginia license no.
XHW 557. Upon being taken into custody, the adult white males
refused to coope : a t e , one of whom produced a 'business* card
with a name on one side and a statement on the other* . The
statement indicated that the bearer knew his constitutional
rights to remain silent and that he intended to do so. Upon
interviewing the children, the police officers found that they
could not adequately -identify .themselves or their custodians.
Further, they stated they were enroute to Mexico to attend a.
school for "smart kids." SS/A Krietlow was further advised the
children were unaware of the function and purpose of
telephones, televisions and toilets, and that the children had
Stated they were not allowed to live indoors and were only
given food as a reward.

The relations with police are almost unavoidably rancorous in missing-children
cases much as they often arc in a mugging
case. The frantic families of victims understandably want an all-out effort, but what
they encounter art the routine, sometimes
enigmatic, processes of the law. Despite the
massive hunt for her son, Ruth Mort is still
furious that police only searched under the
186 trailers in her mobile-home park and
never got warrants to search inside the trailers although they did tear apart her own.
Once, she recalls, she even bawled out the
federal lawmen. "When I start praying to
the FBI, then I'll believe you make no mistakes," she told an agent. Typically, the
families vent "displaced anger," says Gary
Hewitt, executive director of the Center for

5. Larry Xing and other, were never subpoenaed tn
*- n *
DOCUMENTATION
This can be verified from a review of records. Others who wera not
subpoenaed before the Grand Jury include Peter Citron, Alice King, Jeff
Hubble,' and Hike Casey, the person who, according to the Grand Jury, is
responsible for the carefully crafted hoax. How can the Grand Jury blame
thii scenario on Caaey and not hava him testify 7 la it because they didn't
want hie testimony en record? Alan Baar wae subpoenaed but never appeared.
Moat of the victim* did not appear before the Grand Jury including Rod,
Tony and O'Deli Even* who were known by the police to be close associates
of Larry King. Wouldn't & Grand Jury normally be interested in the victlns
of a crime, particularly when thair testimony would be pertinent to the
investigation? Thia information can be verified through court records.
ALLEGATION
6, Numerous individuals identified as perpetrator* have never been
interviewed by law enforcement officers*
DOCUMENTATION
Larry the Kid was never interviewed. The Grand Jury decided that thia
individual mentioned by numerous victim/witnesses vn a fictitious
character. In fact he waa the aame individual identified by several
witnesses an "King's Borneo" who was named as being in attendance at
satanic rituals on several occasions.
The official of the yor-fc Calhoun School system waa nvtr interviewed.
Other names can b obtained from a review of the ?ranJO.in Committee files,
copies of which are in your possession.
ALLEGATION
7. Instead of conducting follow-up interviews, law enforcement officers,
particularly the TBI, have attempted to discredit and harass the victim*.
DOCIJHEMTATIOH
These ciaLma were made by Aliaha Owen, Paul Bonacci and Troy Boner. Boner
advised that the FBI, D.S. Attorney's JUin Lahners and Tom Thallcin
threatened him that "if he didn't recant his testimony they'd bring him up
on perjury char gee and send him to jail" (this is exactly what happened to
Hiss Owen). Boner'* taped interview ia available for review. Lisa and
Tracy Webb were among the first victims to claim th*y were aexually
molested. Following interviews by the FBI and Nebraska Stat* Patrol, Lisa
stated she w&s unwilling to teetify. The allegation* mad* by the Webb
girls, as wall as the 15-year old patient at Richard v oun g Hospital, would
ultimately be corroborated, even expanded upon, by numarou* children who
also claimed to hm victim* of King and others. A witr.eas for th*
prosecution at the Owen perjury trial, Starr* Solburg admitted under cross
examination that when the FBI interviewed him he felt intimidated and that
all th* grand Jury's queatiana asked of him wera designed to diicredit
Owan.

11- A deposition by former Omaha Chief of Police Robert Madman disappeared
during the Owen trial.
DOCUMENTATTflN,
A depoeition by Attorney Jerry Spence taken from Robert Wadman in a 1980
laweuit had been introduced into evidence by the defense. It wae important
because it proved that Wadman had lied about not carrying a gun since 1973.
When the jury requested that evidence during their deliberations, a 40
minute search wae made of the Bvidenca Room- The evidence had disappeared
and wae net available.
School records for Dan King were introduced ae evidence in the trial. The
records showed that Ring wae enrolled in .chool at Crandview, Texas for 16
weeks during the fall of 1983. During this 16 week period he missed 3
weeks plus the holidays. Out of 16 weeks he was only in school for 5
weeks. Wnan the jury requested these r.cordi during deliberation it was
learned that they had disappeared.
This can' be documented from a review of court records. If the records have
now reappeared the incidents can be verified through the rranJclin Senate
Investigative Committee.

CHAPTER 14
COVER-UP
PHASE Ml: THE'FBI
ill
U.S. Attorney Tom Thalken had said "that the federal authorities were investigating Mr. King. . . , 3ul he said basically
their investigation was confined to the money issues, and they
were not specifically investigating allegations of child abuse."
Howland's part-time investigator, V]ahcu!is, rctd the Frank*
Hn committee that it was his impression the FBI had information
on private charter flights, something Gary Caradori would confirm in a dramatic way.
Moreover, as advertised in a Way 12, 1990 article in the
World-Herald, the FBI had been looking at Fraaklin sinct
1 987, for over a year before it was closed! The FBI men couit
hardly have been unaware of the Franklin ambiance, not u
mention* the bedroom in the new addition, and she svideno
shows that they were not. It was reported in the Lincoln Jourm
\%:

whole thing, they wodd write Jesters t* the judge taking for
my sentence reduction so I could get out of priaoo. And if
and in this deal ! would have to tay that Gary Caradori and
Mike Casey came bo me, they set this whole thing up, bwy told
me what to say, we got scripts, we were promised monetary
values. And I would betaken care of.
.On June 21 , 1990, Donna and Alvirt Owen told the Frankjtn
committee about that incident.
Donwa Owin: My concern is thai Pun came to us and said
thai the FBI wanted Alisha to say this, to drop it.
Senator Lykcw; You testified that your husband was then?
Alvtm Owen: Sitting in the living room, I remember.
Sehatoi Lynch: You beard her say that? ... Did she tell
you who in the FBI made that dead, made that offer to her?
Donma Owtn: Mickey Mott. ...
Senatok Lynch: Was Mickey Mott ws there anybody
else with this Mickey Moa?
Donka Owen: He works closely with Rick Culver and John
Pankonon.
Senato* Lvkch: Okay. W|(, for the eoi, do you ?e.

deal when your husband was present?

THI AANKLINCOVE.UI
In order for the FBI to claim that all of the Franklin committee 's evidence wis * hoax, they had 10 break one or more of
the witnesses Caradori had taped. Troy Boner and Danny King
recanted; whafhappened with Troy shows the hand of the FSl.
On the evening of July U , 1990, the day her husband crashed
to his death, Sandie Caradori received several phone calls from
Troy Boner. She wrote up her notes on the calls:
! need to preface this writing by explaining that in the course
of the Franklin Credit Union investigation, many calls vere
received at our home from Trey Boner. I was familiar with
the individual 'I voice and can be 100% assured that 3 did.
in fact, receive the telephone calls from him.
In the early evening of Wednesday, July II. 1990, several
telephone calls were received at our home by in individual
identifying himself as Troy.'" Different individuals answered the telephone and took the message from him. 1 was
either talking to other visitors at our home or tn no shape to
come to the telephone. In any event, if necessary I can
supaiy names of the parties who can jitesi to ihe fact chat a
'Trey" called for me during that evening.
Later in the evening, Troy again cailed and I was able to
go the telephone. It should be noted that 1 did not initiate
the call, nor did I know what, if anything, he wanted to
speak to me about.

news anyone."
The next day I did not hear anything on the television or
the radio and 3 really felt that Troy had probably backed
away. That evening he caJied me again. He said, "Sandie,
I tried. J tried. I went to Mickey Mon and . . . (FBI
agents). They iacghed at me. They said they spent 100 much
time and money on this case now for me to change my story.
I aJso went to Frank Brown [Channel 7 TV] but be said he
didn't want to take a statement because of my Grind Jury
testimony."

there is a ball way and there U - ther e a an open door ao 1
can hear what 1 * going on in the hallway became it's just a
cage, there is do sound barrier. I heard Mr. Thaficea repeat*
adly and repeatedly tn a very di sr e s pe c tful what 1 consider
dia 1 wouldn't talk to anybody like that, disrespectful tone,
saying things repeatedly, over and over, if she gets up there
and she doesn't tell the truth I'm going to charge her with
perjury. Over and over and over and over again. 1 have not
heard the word perjury so many times to my entire life than
that day. ... He was saving this to ay attorney, saying I'm
going to put her on the stand and if shedoes&'uyou know,
if she doesn't tell ihe truth I'm going to charge her with
perjury. ,
Alisha's attorney Henry Rosenthal confirmed her account:
Well, I don't know Tom Thalken- .'. .He came at me like
a little grizzly bear. . . , And he had a finger about two
inches from my note and kept yelling about perjury. And I
didn't even know what he was talking about. Over and over
about this and that and this and that. 1 said, let me tell you.
if you chink you have got any evidence of perjury when she's
done, please charge her, just please do that And that**
every time there was a receas, yelling about perjury, . . .
This was before the evidence even started.
Long before Thaitens behavior in dealing with Owen, his
name had surfaced in Gary Caradori's investigation, as an
alleged pedophile who frequented adult book stores in Council
Bluffs, Iowa. Moreover, a confidential informant told taradori. that Thalken was key to the cover-up in progress. In. a
February 22. 1990 report, Caradori transcribed aa interview
with this confidential informant.
oc Are the federal people still putting me down, have you
- heard? 1 mean they want sac off this ease.
a: Well, they don't want anybody to get toe close to it. . . .
This thing i* way bigger than Nebraska. . . . You* get one

a: Yeah. And the term wis t year ago. finger in the dike.
Rosenthal wis Alisha' s second lawyer. H= succeeded Pamela Vuchetich. who had conveyed to Alisha the FBI's offer
of 4 dead, from Vuchetich' s friend Mickey Mott. In her Franklin
committee testimony of June 11, 1990, Owen reported another
incident involving Vuchetich and the FBI, which appeared to
be an attempt to craft some evidence of the "carefully crafted
hoax":
They had Troy call me in the beginning of March. He called
me in the afternoon and I got on the phone. . . . Pam had
told me thit Troy had recanted his statement about Danny.
She never told me he recanted his statement about me. And
you know, maybe I was naive, maybe I was just dumb, but
! never once thought he could do that because, I mean, 3 had
all this evidence, you know, and I mean, I'm the one mat
you know, that told them about Troy and others. It never
dawned on me thai he would ever do thai, recant about
Danny.
So we 1 got on the phone and 1 one of the first things
I asked him wis, why are you doing this to Danny, he's one
of your best friends, how could you do this, what ire you
doing? And he said, something, Alisha. I'm scared. And his
voice tne FBI has this upe.-Hi: voice is just really seared.
And 1 know Troy sleeps until 4:00 or 5:00 night, so t
juried to think oh, my God, he's in Omaha fori week, it's

conduct. Count VIII charges battery, false imprisonment, infliction of emotional
distress,
neglisence and conspiracy to deprive the plaintiff of civil rights. Between Dece
mber 1980 and
L9SS~the complaint alleges, the defendant King continually subjected the plainti
ff to repeated
sexuai assaults, false imprisonments, infliction of extreme emotional distress,
organized and
directed satanic rituals, forced the plaintiff to ''scavenge" for children to be
a part of the
defendant King's sexual abuse and pornography ring, forced the plaintiff to enga
ge in numerous
sexual contacts with the defendant King and others and participate in deviate se
xual games and
masochistic orgies with other minor children. The defendant King's default has m
ade those
allegations true as to him. The issue now is the relief to be granted monetarily
.
Tne now uncontradicted evidence is that the plaintiff has suffered much. He has
suffered bums, broken, fingers, beatings of the head and face and other indignit
ies by the
wrongful actions of the defendant King. In addition to the misery of going throu
gh the
experiences just related over a period of eight years, the plaintiff has suffere
d the lingering
results to the present tine. He is a victim of multiple personality disorder, in
volving as many as
fourteen distinct personalities aside from his primary personality. He has given
up a desired
military career and received threats on his life, He suffers from sleeplessness,
has bad dreams,
has difficulty in holding a job, is fearful that others are following him, fears
getting killed, has
depressing flashbacks., and is verbally violent on occasion, all in connection w
ith the multiple
personality disorder and caused by the wrongful activities of the defendant King
.
Almost certainly the defendant King has little remaining financial resources, bu
t a fair
judgment to compensate the plaintiff is necessary. For the sixteen years since t
he abuse of the
plaintiff began I conclude that a fair compensation for the damages he has suffe
red is S800,000.
A punitive award also is justified, but the amount needs to be limited because o
*hat such a judgment would have oil the defendant King, given his financial cond
ition and his
presence now to prison. I deem a punitive award of S200,000 to be adequate.
