Just kidding; rhetorical question. If you have read a lot of my blog and observed the work done by Det. Cory Williams and Wayne County, you know the OCCK case could have been solved in the past 15 years if society, in large numbers, cared about all the public corruption in Oakland County and demanded justice.

If you have read the FOIA documents posted on my blog and Marney Keenan’s book, you see proof that the justice system has allied with protecting child predators. Jessica Cooper’s treatment of my Dad; gaslighting by the FBI agent assigned to the case, actions taken against Det. Williams by other cops and lying by still-living law enforcement who have touched this case.

Although wrongful death suits and litigation against public agencies were not common fare in the 1970’s, prosecutor Brooks Patterson knew there could be legal liability. His greatest concern, however, was with his reputation and his career. As a reader observed, the law has evolved and if there were no compensatory civil money damages we would still be living in the Dark Ages. It’s the only message some people, agencies and entities understand.

Chris Busch did whatever he wanted and H. Lee Busch’s money protected him. The playing field changed when Tim was abducted, right after Patterson described Busch’s arrest in yet another child rape case in northern Oakland County. Yet Patterson maintained on camera in Children of the Snow that he never knew the name Busch. Right. The POS was making trouble all over Birmingham and every place he ever lived. The kind of trouble a prosecutor or a police chief should certainly have been aware of and dealing with. But they didn’t deal then or now.

Thank you to a reader who sent me this article from the Detroit Free Press dated March 1, 1977. I had seen the February 22, 1977 articles in the Detroit News and The Oakland Press where Patterson says Busch and Greene were not involved in the Stebbins killing. This article goes further.

Thank you to another reader for the headline on November 21, 1978 and the discovery it appeared the same day as Chris Busch’s death notice. I could never find an obituary. I guess words were hard to find when reflecting on the life of a child predator and murderer.

This from the movie An Open Secret, a documentary on the sexual abuse of child actors. https://vimeo.com/channels/835463/138965813. It is a little over 90 minutes; view it when you can watch it until the end.

How does this movie end up on Vimeo? In May 2015 the movie screened for potential distributors at the Cannes Film Festival. No surprise, the producer is unable to find a distributor and has made the documentary available for free on Vimeo.

SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) threatened to sue the director Amy Berg if she did not omit references to the Young Performers Committee. She declined, only editing her footage to secure a PG-13 rating. https://www.indiewire.com/2017/10/hollywoods-underage-sexual-abuse-problem-5-shocking-injustices-from-an-open-secret-1201891024/. The union does not carry out its threat.

The film zeroes in on a trio of perpetrators, Marty Weiss, Marc Collins-Rector and Michael Harrah (founder and former chair of SAG-AFTRA’s Young Performers Committee). Observe how these predators attempt to shift the blame to parents and the victims. Harrah is a Michigan native (of course he is!) and attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor beginning in 1960. Harrah was active in children’s theater (Ann Arbor Junior Light Opera) and Ann Arbor high school productions throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. Maybe even rubbed elbows with Ann Arbor’s “distinguished” Frank Shelden.

Thank you to a reader for the link to the film and associated research. I post this not to muddy the waters, but to make the point that this stuff goes on all the time, with unrepentant monsters posing as upstanding citizens, and that it takes a lot of bravery to come forward if you have been victimized. Don’t think for a minute that it is just dirty pedophiles like Ted Lamborgine, Richard Lawson, Arch Sloan and Bob Moore who commit these crimes. All pedophiles are dirty no matter what costume they wear in society.

“The film Hollywood doesn’t want you to see.” The Snow Killings, Inside the Oakland County Child Killer Investigation (July 2020), is the book Oakland County doesn’t want you to read.

Readers are kind of balking at the mention of politicians and other “untouchables” from the Detroit area and in Oakland County being serviced by the pedophile rings operating in the area during the time of the child killings.

Here is a specific mention of ex-Michigan Senator Jack Faxon in the narrative report concerning the Lawson/Lamborgine lead. Faxon was in public office at the time of the child killings.

Ex-Michigan Senator Jack Faxon

I have posted the entire narrative report, dated from 1-19-2005 to August 1, 2008, beginning with a post on April 26, 2020–https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/56938161/posts/2678867966. There are six “installments” (4/26, 4/27, 4/28, 4/30, 5/2 and ending with the pages including Faxon on 5/3–https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/56938161/posts/2687045187.)

Just a few words about pages 127 and 128. Remember at the time this report is being written, Livonia PD and Wayne County know about Southfield polygrapher Larry Wasser spilling the beans about a private polygraph session with a man who who spoke about his involvement in Tim King’s murder. Wasser and his attorney James Feinberg were still playing the “I can’t remember the client’s name” game. Detective Williams is researching an old lead on convicted pedophile Kent Shultz, who was polygraphed in the OCCK case and–of course–cleared. He was wondering if this was Wasser’s client–Chris Busch’s name was “revealed” a few weeks later.

As of November 14, 2007, Kent Shultz was serving THREE 20-40 year sentences for multiple CSC-1s (child rape) and housed at the Parnell Correction facility in Jackson, Michigan. The narrative report states: “Kent Shultz was connected to Josiah Tazelaar [convicted pedophile and brother to Willem Tazelar who lived a few blocks from my family in Birmingham], Francis Sheldon [Shelden] & ex-Michigan Senator Jack Faxon at that time.”

I have posted the FOIA documents from the MSP file on Frank Shelden and N. Fox Island. They are heavily redacted–meaning that the names of any “clients/subscribers” are redacted. They left the name of a victim unredacted. Nice job.

I never saw a Fox Island client list; in fact I was under the impression it never made it into the hands of police. Now that list might shock a few people. That a “model citizen” like Faxon was involved in pedophelia or child porn, just like “model citizen/philanthropist” Frank Shelden was? No surprises there, as far as I’m concerned.
