I am searching FOIA documents for some specific information and found this series of 1995 incident reports from the MSP.  The report was in the FOIA documents provided by former Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper, who was forced to hand these over after initially denying them to my dad after it was discovered that she had happily provided documents to the media.

The “Smith” mentioned in this series of pages is pedophile Larry Smith, who was “cleared” in the OCCK case.  Apparently his name and the “Smith cottage” was on the radar in 1995.  Off the top of my head, the only other significant factor in 1995 was the death of pedophile Greg Greene, who allegedly had a heart attack while watching t.v. at Jackson Prison.

Take a look at how the evidence was handled in the OCCK case.  In 1995 the “property in question” had been in the lab Property Room for 19 years.  “UD14s [evidence forms] had not been completed,” and “[t]he property was inventoried and UD14s were completed.”  Is this when the hairs from my brother’s body were misfiled as “animal hairs,” or did this certification inspection not reveal an earlier error?

1995 reports

A comment to an article in the wake of the heinous Kavanaugh kill yesterday stood out to me:

“The poet W.H. Auden wrote: ‘Murder is unique in that it abolishes the party it injures, so society must take the place of the victim.'”

No one has taken the place of Mark Stebbins, Jill Robinson, Kristine Mihelich or Tim King.  The “investigation” created a vacuum that no one has been able to fill since it was shut down in December 1978.

It highlighted for me a recent comment sent to me by a reader:

I’ve thought often about your point about being a voice for your brother.  That voice gets muted in so many of these media presentations (e.g on YouTube)—they tell a story, but they don’t give an account.  To do the latter, the facts have to be in place.  If it’s nothing more than a story, then the invitation is there for people to add to it, subtract from it, selectively remember, etc. and the victims are effectively silenced.  I love novels that feature unreliable narrators.  I do not feel the same about “true crime.”

No voices from the abolished.  Not from 1976, 1977, or January 7, 2025.  Just unreliable narrators and gaslighters.

Don’t forget that as this 50th year of “unsolved” begins.
