Abstract In the course of completing preliminary research for a book about this controversial homicide, the author found a pattern of events in this case that cannot be explained by coincidence or mere chance alone. No opinion or conclusions are offered, however the author does acknowledge the obvious questions raised by these findings.

METHODS

Research for this overview was conducted in three steps. First, a database was constructed using information from published accounts that appeared between October of 1981 and November of 1998. In it's original form, this database contained over 1,600 specific pieces of information. The next step was analysis. This was done with a series of pattern searches. Names, dates, places and key words were used to initiate each search and all of the searches were repeated three consecutive times to verify the results. Completed and incomplete searches totaled 109. The final step was to present these results in a format that would maintain the continuity of the pattern that was found without introducing an unacceptable level of bias in the presentation. This was accomplished by using a simple chronological narrative with little or no commentary.
