so much did John Jr. come to love and identify with Hyannis that later in life he would use the name as his own when registering in certain hotels...John Hyannis...still unsolved though is the murder of the guy in the parked car there a few years back, a page 2 item in the daily that never saw another word...just another one of the unsolved Cape Cod murders...

Tough to say. Go to his website and notice that at least three of his clients could have sponsored his MMS charade, not counting the Alliance itself, who paid Corrigan enough before booting him that he could buy a new home in Dennis, or ask Susan Nickerson, who pulls down 92,000 Alliance dollars a year without even having to deal with the press...just to be there, as if she were some kind of environmentalist hood ornament. I want the job too. Ya think?

home run, buzz. the whole story in a nutshell. when one victim's father did approach the school, face-to-face, he was assured it was being dealt with, and then got a call at work alerting him to his son's abuse. Thus the Monday meeting.

Be honest, Buzz/Bob. You like being the voice of the side that starts out by describing the victim as an "equal opportunity" lover to a woman he is simultaneously wooing and schmoozing? You're comfortable aping the sounds of Burke, Mason, O'Keefe and Welsh, who so far have proven that they couldn't find the obvious killer despite having his DNA and his garbage route for four years?

Could you rephrase that, Buzz? Do you mean, what do I think law enforcement should be doing now to solve the Worthington murder? I think they should put Truro PD's lobster-scrubbing David Costa under the brights and ask him what he had to do with this, with her, with the scene, with the witnesses, with the evidence, with the investigation, with drugs, with Christa's cousins, with the prosecution's railroading of Chris McCowen. That's where I'd start, then I'd work my way up to his boss, the chief, and HIS bosses in the DA's office and the state police, beginning with Burke and Mason and including anyone else who abetted this sham, until Martha Coakley and Michael Sullivan agree that Michael O'Keefe needs to be removed before someone else dies of corruption.

No! What I think is that the number of honest officials who can talk about it is shrinking all the time, and whatever can be done to encourage the honest ones to talk, should be done...

You're driving me curious, Bob. Before we become completely unhinged here, which line specifically offends? This one -- Prada is described as a "very private person" by those who know him personally, and the only known complaint pending against him was filed a month ago by a former call firefighter who alleges he was slurred by fellow firefighters as a "fudge-packer" and other such niceties.
Or is it something else? Attach what to Prada? Help me find the line, I'll fix it.

In response to: 1,701 pages of fresh air for Cape Cod
CapeWind's response, in part, today: "The Boston Globe and Cape Cod Today have reported on the accidental release of internal Alliance fundraising documents in 2006 that disclosed that over 94% of their donations came from large donors, writing checks of $20,000 or more, most of whom are seasonal residents who own homes overlooking Nantucket Sound. The largest donor identified was Bill Koch who had given over one million dollars in one year to the Alliance and who owns Oxbow Energy. Two of the largest divisions of Oxbow Energy are in coal mining and in distribution and marketing of petroleum coke, a solid leftover from the oil refining process that is dirtier than coal."

ah yes, another graduate of the Massachusetts Treatment Center for the Sexually Dangerous, another convicted pedophile allowed out by another politician, another young boy raped in the supposed sanctity of the public library, and another round of hand-wringing by all the politicians still cashing paychecks today despite the blood on their hands; it is as if when they say this latest horror in New Bedford was predictable and preventable, they mean to imply that someone else should have predicted and prevented it. I have an idea -- why don't the mayor, the DA and the police chief in New Bedford head up to Bridgewater for a first-hand visit, maybe they will understand better how these things happen, and why they are powerless to prevent them from happening again as long as they continue to ignore the upstream sources of this pollution.

bottom line, 12 jurors interviewed one at a time with the other 11 out of the room are bound to tell 12 stories that have similarities and contradictions; what none will dispute is that a game like charades was played during hotel sequestering with the punchline always the same, "I'm a racist!" according to one version, and "I'm getting beaten by a big black man," according to another version; both add up to the same thing. while the only black juror was out of the room, the others had fun at her expense, and the only reason it ever got out was because it was no longer possible to ignore the claims that racial tensions boiled during deliberations, and that may have influenced the final verdict, according to the three jurors who complained post-verdict.

This comment is here because Farley's post was closed...but my favorite line from his piece on the Alliance's fly-by-night CEO Chas. Vinick, who sold his Cousteau credentials to the high bidders of Hyannisport, "The monumental hypocrisy of such activity is without shame."
Fine and good, but what of the pseudo-environmentalists who remain, who have not fled for the next high bidder's hills? Does Susan Nickerson, a darling of the greens for so many years, who traded her experience at the Association for the Preservation of Cape Cod for $92,000 a year from the NIMBY's of Nantucket Sound? Selling out Cousteau was bad, but selling out her own backyardigans, every bit as bad and worse for having escaped the notice of any and all who would comment publicly on this little bit of hypocrisy...he said, just a little green with envy that a person can make 92,000 dollars a year on cape cod just tilting at windmills, with no goal other than to stop the progress...

thanks, magician, and always nice to see mention of Harper Lee, who shoulda been there today; Twelve Angry Men, too, as a window into the human mind, as individuals and acting as a group, the dynamics, fears, biases, camaraderies and all, there for the world to inspect. I pity 'em all, and us all, for what we've seen so far, but then again, vindication/redemption/correction would seem closer at hand every day, and so maybe the whole exercise ends up in the plus column, minus the dead woman, the motherless child and the sacrificial trashman.

Dan’s sincerity, though, is both heartwarming and entertaining.
When Mr. Latimer descended into a harangue on the federal No Child Left Behind Act when he was supposed to be discussing the war in Iraq, the Badge of Bombast became his alone."

How bout this, Jack, ask him to write about his role in the Falmouth police mess, the base clean-up, the sketchy investigation of Jonathan Wessner's murder, the Reine family, the two recent heroin overdoses in Falmouth, the sorry state of Route 28, the school's employment of a pedophile ex-priest...or anything...but not nothing, because that's what ya get...

wally, i really wish you'd solicit my advice on these matters beforehand. I am not going to throw stones now, and risk hurting his feelings or yours. I have always appreciated your all-inclusive posture, thus the nut-farm at hand. but to run a political ad without charging for it opens you (and by extension all of us who give a gnat's fart about the site) to charges of favoritism, cronyism and worse, makes you a potential target for the candidate down the road who demands equal space, and who wants to tax the Internet or something equally retarded (oops, credit there goes to Rep. Delahunt, D-Kennedy's Butt)....
I guess if he's retired, no longer in office, that would make a difference...I just can't keep up with Falmouth politics like I should...if he's still in the game, or planning a return, then he should buy the space like Bill Richardson...if he's just another washed up politician trying to keep his name out there, then that's okay, and welcome to fold, Troy....

Current DA Sam Sutter and US Attorney/Boston Mike Sullivan would ask him, but they already know the answers. As for O'Keefe, let's see, 10 months pass before he confesses publicly, if obliquely, and only after it was exposed here, that he was the victim of a crime, two crimes, including the theft of at least one weapon, a theft which by law must be reported, and not with disappearing ink. Not to be rude, but you figure it out. Jeez.

not an original idea, I know, but there seems to be an opportunity for a ghostwriter here, on a book by a well-connected, well-protected resident of the Outer Cape, perhaps something along the lines of, "If I Did It," the story of the lawman's kin who killed a woman in cold blood and then stood by as his disposable friend was sent to jail for life...

wolfram, as for guilty until...I'm sure you can appreciate the inner beauty of this story, that it's not in the first instance a reflection of O'Keefe's guilt (that only comes later when he buries the report and is said to own guns with no numbers, thus presumably also with no registrations). no, in the first instance he is the victim, so it's really not presumptuous at all to report the story that he has been victimized; it only turns into an indictment of the man once you realize why he didn't report the theft, or, if he did report it, why it never saw the light of day...why he won't talk about it, why the SPD chief won't talk about it, why the security guy won't talk about it...don't you see Wolfram? If it hadn't happened, there's four people who know it did who have not bothered to deny it...dr. ex all over again

DA gets a discount home in a gated community, gets some free renovation work and then has his guns stolen by someone who can't get in trouble because the security firm and the police department are both controlled by the "victim," the DA himself...it's just, just...breathtaking...

good one, smitty, thanks for the tip...DA or ADA? i mean, there is only one former DA (for the Cape and Islands) the late Phil Rollins so that would narrow the field to the point of naming him...as for former ADA's, it's a wide open field...meanwhile, would you say that telling security is enough if security also represents the sandwich PD, or would you say that the homeowner has an obligation to public safety (and the law) to report this to the police department itself? if they were taken by guys doing work on his house and getting paid by a third party, strictly hypothetically, that would make the reporting a little more troublesome...which is the beauty of lawn enforcement on Cape Cod; who is guarding the guards? no one is guarding the guards. no one in all of america is watching over any of this, because here the law is the law, and there is no such thing as an internal affairs unit -- they are all internal affairs...

the last time i went to the state's campaign and political finance site i noticed henri gave pretty much everyone with a position and a pulse $200; as I understand it, as a lobbyist for Big Dig interests (and their "associated" friends) that is Henri's job, to spread around money in the hopes of influencing our elected and supposed representatives. And no one can argue that Henri is not qualified for the job.

if you Google around, you see that a reporter out that way has done some fine work exposing the long-running embellishment; the good Mr. Richardson, of whom Cape Codders should be proud for his association with the league, used to claim he was drafted by LA or KC or one of those non-Sox teams, and that it can't be found in the record books because it was never put in writing (until he put it on his resume) because he told the scout that he had no intention of playing major league ball, but Thanks, anyway....it really is a silly matter, except in the debatable sense that it reflects on his character to have never come clean on the subject....
hopefully, when they call with their offer, Wally will patch them right through and we can all go out for a bub on the campaigtn trail...

He doesn't see it as an issue I'm sure, but if Bill Richardson is going to insinuate the Patriots into Presidential politics, it seems only fair to challenge him on his own sports controversy, to wit: Did he or did he not embellish his own record as a Cape League ballplayer, specifically, by claiming for decades that he was drafted by the big leagues...when he wasn't, not that it diminishes his talent whatsoever, only his credibility.

which is to say, in a succint, factual, quintessentially Cape Cod real estate-money-laundering way, that the rapist lying militarily self-aggrandizing Cape Verdean titular front man (for whomever he truly represents, certainly not the Wampanoags) in a 400-year pursuit of justice for the White Man's murderous ways is also a felon who spends much of his day scheming with lawyers, backers and bankers....which says the worst possible things about a man, that he could be any other politician in Kennedy country...(*!) Quite excellent reporting and it seems we all agree, it's a shame there wasn't a newspaper that had it all already...kudos to Peter, and pity those among the Wampanoags who must suffer these further indignities at the exact moment in history when it seemed momentum had changed...the pendulum had swung....ooops.

The fact that neighbor/friend/DA O'Keefe has obliquely acknowledged the man had no weapon should be enough to make us deadbeat husbands wonder this is a trend that bears watching.

Jack, Ron Pina is many things, but suspect in a serial murder, never. They were friends of his. He engaged them in quintessential New Bedford-type commerce and in the dark. "Suspect" is one of those words I hazard to use because the only way he could be one technically is if he named himself as a suspect, which is as likely as Romeo naming himself a friend of Dr. Death.

Oh, Jack. We are all human, right? The question is, are we better off tossing out the trashman with the trash, or digging for the truth until it hurts. I would feel much better with CM caged forever IF one could believe ANYTHING law enforcement around here says; if I could trust the lab, an acknowledged disaster, if I could trust the medical examiner, who is out of a job, if I could trust the DA, a master manipulator, if I could trust the state cops, a uniformed group of drug dealers with immunity, if I could trust the local cops, the first rung on the testilying ladder, if I could trust the government, which is waging war on two perpetual clocks, if I could trust the defense counsel, whose heart can be found at the bank, if I could trust the judge, who did not get to where he is today by taking on the establishment, and if someone could convince me that CM had so many willing partners he could afford to dispose of one as well-situated as CW, a beautiful, intelligent and loving woman whose life was extinguished by something subhuman, or several of them.

It's waterfront compounds versus the rest of us, Jack, and the difference in the parties is the difference between the American and National Leagues, nothing else. It was a Bush plot, Jack, and a perfect one at that. First move was to stymie the Duke's favorite DA, Ron Pina; first they abducted and raped his wife, then they raped his daughter, then they captured him on tape with a women who charges by the hour, killed her, dumped her and dared him to catch them.

On the other hand, if the question is, did CM kill CW? What LE failed to consider before they settled on this as the way to go is: pinning murders on down-and-out men of color is so yesterday. If I were a betting man? The cop's kin did it, because narcs have neither a conscience nor a worry.

I gotta tell ya, Magic, the Worthington murder has always been a mind-bender to me...the nutty neighbor, the spatty constable, the perpetual ejaculator who sits atop our law enforcement pyramid, the kook from NYC who slaughtered that woman and fled to Tenn., it was tough to see the truth from here at home in my jammies, especially with no local newspapers worth slipping under my aging dog. But when Michael D. O'Keefe, the Cape and Islands District Attorney who lives in a gated golf community, told me through his unrequited publicist that Christa was a slut and a bad mother to boot, I stopped caring. Nuf said?
I've been stung by a narc in O'Keefe's employ, and I'd rather not bring them back into my orbit.

In response to: 11 women killed; Does anyone care?
I'm still new at this, and apparently that shows, but yes, law enforcement, which I used to consider to be the local cops, but have lately expanded to mean everyone in law enforcement, cops, DAs, judges [why the hell not?] and their enablers in appointive and electoral politics. In the NB murders of 1988, what happened is three guys were let out, they killed, they were returned to Bridgewater, and the lid was closed. Leftwich might have been exposed as the killer (because he was the only Scary Black man among the three, and it was going to ruin the Duke's chances at 1600 Penn. Ave) but along came Willie (nee William) Horton and the coverup began. Because they didn't need another furloughed prisoner/murderer, they had one ready-made. Thus, the Highway Killings can remain unsolved for 19 years, and it never happened.

In response to: 11 women killed; Does anyone care?
Actually, since this is fast becoming a monologue, I'll answer my own question: Does anyone care? Yes, everyone cares, but there's nothing any of us can do about it except speak truth to power: The Bridgewater inmates, Ron Leftwich, Ken Junier and RT (he is not in jail now and might come kill me if I write his name) were the three Highway Killers who have yet to be named by LE because it was not their idea, it was LE's. That's why when you ask someone today whether they know anything about this, they plead ignorance, truthfully. These 11 women and others for another edit were sacrificed at the altar of electoral politics, by men and women in the employ of former President George Bush, including Andy Card and Paul Cellucci.

Hi Magician,
It kills me to see all these well-reasoned comments that beg for more information, because the information is there for the gathering, although not on the newsstand near you. What you say is dead-on accurate, if only half-informed, because you live in a place that has no independent source for information besides this and etchings in the sand. Consider: she is the hospital's contact person in the community. The hospital is run by Steve Abbott, and its treasurer is Joel Crowell. The DA's friendly bank, likewise, is run by Joel Crowell and a board of directors that includes Steve Abbott. Say more? Why. It's time to circle the wagons. It's time to bury her visit to the self-same hospital for treatment the day before the killings. It's time to bury the story about the woman who maybe killed her husband in what may have been self-defense. It's time to gag everyone involved and move on, because as long as she is the hospital and he is dead, nothing else matters. Least of all the man who thinks with his little head first.

Solon, my favorite name in all of blogdom, flatters to be sure. You also reveal yourself to be more informed than the next guy with your pithy retort about "friggin' understatement." You are 1000 percent correct. Unfortunately for me, I had no idea when I wrote it what an undertstaement it was, just that I was the only person I know of who is so unemployed he had nothing to lose by writing about it at all. You want the truth, Solon? Ask the United States Secret Service, specifically Harvard shrink Dr. Robert A. Fein, because he can tell you everything you want to know about the New Bedford Highway Killings of 1988, and the role they played in the presidential election. Next!?

For anyone out there who believes that Ann Marie Gryboski was so abused by Patrick Lancaster that an acceptable solution to his menacing personality was two shots to the belly (followed by dialing 9.............1..............1), Cape Cod Hospital is conducting a fundraising campaign for her defense. Hospital brass sent memos to every employee urging them to visit so-and-so's office and make a donation on behalf of their former colleague, an admitted killer who violated two protocols that deadly Easter weekend -- failure to report a domestic abuse (if indeed there was one), and failure to abide by the Hippocratic oath.

Thank you, Jack, and thanks to the other bloggers who have reacted so constructively to this thread. The greater good is well-served. Here's an update: a second Abutter emerged today as having a view to the killing scene (as opposed to the killing itself), and the story was the same. Four months have passed since the Easter slaughter, and no one from the state or Barnstable police has thought to contact her. So what I'm wondering now is -- what's taking those jurors so long to establish her innocence? They can't have much to talk about, considering the two neighbors who live closest to the killing were never canvassed by police.

In response to: ATF Head Sullivan Reacts to O’Keefe Controversy
I have no idea what Jack's motivation is, but after a few comments I kinda got the idea that he must be working for someone, or listening to the same dog as David Berkowitz, and so my attitude quickly became: Just don't piss him off, he might come to your house, and so I held off commenting. Plus, if you get paid to write stories, blogging seems awfully a lot like that other thing you do alone.
But here goes: I believe that too much is made of the details, and not enough to the big picture, which, to me, is about who controls the court room, the judge, a political appointee, the DA, a political animal, and the defense counsel. In the cases at hand, we have George and Reddington. The last time these two were linked in a story was 1988, scene of a previous government cover-up, and who represented the Scapegoats in New Bedford but George and Reddington. I'm not saying they are bad guys. Just the opposite. It's what I would have done if I could have gone to law school. These two are super-lawyers, and they are also carefully chosen for the tasks at hand.
