Email from my Dad to MSP that I was copied on this morning:
When I called Sgt. Gray in late 2006 he informed me that the task force and its FIRST hard lead. Someone (Lamborgine) had flunked a lie detector test. The same rule apparently does not apply to Busch and Gunnels.Busch is released on January 28, 1977 because he passed a lie detector test administered by an inexperienced MSP polygraphist. When the MSP has this polygraph reviewed by 3 experience polygraphists we are advised that all 3 concluded he did not pass. The first test results were published in the Detroit News and the Daily Tribune. My family has been denied access to these later readings. Last year Pat Coffey advised me that one of the three polygraphists was in the zero to minus 6 range and was inconclusive. Coffey was also told that the other two concluded the proper reading was well below minus 6. The MSP talks to the media and Coffey but not to the victims.Chris and I met with Gunnels in October. He acknowledged taking 2 polygraph tests. The MSP reports state that the first test was inconclusive because Gunnels took evasive action. The results of the second test are redacted in the MSP reports.On November 20, 2012 the OCP responded to my third FOIA request regarding the Gunnels investigation. The OCP repose contains the following information:“POLYGRAPH QUESTIONS RESULTSOther than the control questions, Gunnels was asked three specific questions regarding the Child Killing investigation. Due to his DNA hair being discovered on Kristine Michelich he was asked the following:1. Did you participate in any way in the killing of Kristine Michelich?2. Do you know for sure . who killed Kristine Michelich?3. Did you have any physical contact with Kristine Michelich?”
Both of the MSP polygraphists present concluded Gunnels “COMPLETELY” failed all aspects of the examination.Why and by whom was Gunnels removed as a suspect at the February 26, 2010 meeting?
As a mother, my blood just boils as I read this. I can’t imagine the frustration and rage that YOUR family must be feeling. I am a new subscriber to your blog, but lived in MI when these crimes occurred and have never been able to forget them. The Gunnels/Busch hair connection is too powerful to overlook, and I am glad your family is not letting the official investigators off the hook on this lead, as well as others you have pursued regarding Busch and Greene. Obviously Arch Sloan was part of some predatory ring with these three, and I pray the recent hair developments involving his car pan out. To know that someone out there knows something and is keeping silent is infuriating. My deepest condolences to you and yours.
Amen cc2001,have been on Cathy’s blog for awhile.Grew up in B’ham and remember it like yesterday.I pray for her family every night.As a mother also,I can’t say what I want to do to these so called men?
Yes, of course, Gunnels is the one who really has my attention. He is a living witness. No question about it. Lots of people are reading Cathy’s blog. You who are out there who have been associates of this man, if you have an ounce of decency in your souls, need to tell what you know. You can do it anonymously. If BTK can hide for 20 years so can you. You can put on some rubber gloves, take out pen and paper and write what you know. Send it to a newspaper, Mr. King or the Detroit Police Dept. If you have never done anything you are proud of here’s your chance.
