does anybody know any good links about this most bizarre and interesting case?

I agree that this was a very bizarre and interesting case, but surprisingly, I have never been able to find any links about it.

dynoguy88 · 05-02-2005, 11:38 AM

Well, here is a small link I found. Doesn't give too much info, though.

i guess people are just afraid to say anything about this case!
i think the most puzzling clue, and maybe even on the whole series, is the encoded $2 bill...

themaninblack · 05-03-2005, 11:33 AM

however i have found many links about don devereux... apparently he is quite active!

dynoguy88 · 05-03-2005, 11:53 AM

Glad to hear Don Devereux is still alive and well. He's a very brave and intelligent man.

i think its kind of weird the way the morgan and casolaro cases are related.
casolaro was doing his own investigation about Octopus, but still the same within like a week after being in phone contact with devereux, casolaro was dead...

*(Sorry for bumping this!!!)*

I haven't seen the original Charles Morgan segment in quite sometime, I do however have the Charles Morgan/Don Deveraux segment (where it's mentioned a contract is out on DD's head) on my iPod luckily enough.....very, very intriguing.

I also read the other thread that suggested Morgan was killed by Mob henchmen..........but what I don't get is what Deveraux said about rogue government elements/gold from SE Asia being involved........could the Mob have had a small hand in that??

I just watched the Mistaken Hit Segment on YouTube.

Devereaux is a brave man for going on UM a second time after knowing people are out to get him. I believe that this story, has strong connections with the Danny Casolaro murder, and possibly the people who killed Casolaro could be behind this.

I don't understand exactly why though. Why is Devereaux a target? Is he investigating something that he shouldn't? If so, what? I'm unclear on this and hope someone can fill me in

I believe the computer technician killed across the road from Devereaux's is an innocent victim.

Has there been any developments regarding these killings?

Basically you got it all down pat there man. If you listen to the commentary on the dvd you'll notice that the producers mention that Devereaux is still very much alive and well and still reporting.

If you want my opinion the same network of people are responsible for the deaths of Dan Casolaro, Chuck Morgan and Douglas Johnston and the likely reason for these killings is given in the original Morgan case and that is money laundering and possibly some arms smuggling/dealing within this network of people that Casolaro called "The Octopus".

dynoguy88 · 01-14-2007, 01:54 AM

That's part of the danger of being a journalist, I guess. When you research anything that has to with organized crimes and money laundering, there's going to be somebody behind the scenes that wants to shut you up...for good.

The good news about this case is that Don Devereaux is still alive and well and continuing his research. (The commentary on the DVD set mentioned this.) However, I would never let my guard up if I were him. I'm sure these people would like nothing better than to kill him.

AVERMAN · 01-14-2007, 03:32 AM

Could it be possible that Douglas Johnston's murder be a random, unrelated incident?

Anything is possible but in my opinion, that would be too much of a coincidence. Given the fact that he drove the same type of car Don Devereaux was driving and the fact that the shooting took place right accross the street from his house leads me to believe otherwise.

The Johnston shooting took place just a couple months after the Charles Morgan segment first aired. I'm sure his killers weren't too happy when they saw Don being interviewed on Unsolved Mysteries and seeing how much time he was putting into investigating it.

kadrmas15 · 01-14-2007, 06:40 PM

Yes this is very interesting and I believe that Charles, Dan and Doug were all killed by the same people. I just have a hard time believing all three of their deaths happen to be a coincidence. Very interesting stuff there.

DarkDante · 01-14-2007, 08:36 PM

^ Yeah I would also add Danny Casolaro as a possible to this list too. I think both Don and Danny were working on stories involving a similar network of shady people. There is no way in my mind btw that Doug Johnston's murder could've been a random act of violence. Doug wasn't only murdered, he was executed in a very precise, perfected manner like whomever killed him did this sort of thing for a living.
