Someone help me here as I am confused... Is the Dan Casolaro, who was found with 12 slash wounds to his wrists (from Bizarre Murders "Journalist's Murders") the same Dan Casolaro mentioned in the Doug Johnston case (BM, "Mistake Hit")? In Mistake Hit, Don Devereux mentions journalist Dan Casolaro was killed before he had revealed information about the Charles Morgan case but this isn't mentioned in the "Journalist's Murder". I assume they are one-in-the-same..yeh?

Yep... one in the same.
The Danny Caselaro murder freaked me the heck out. I love that it was ruled as a suicide, even though both wrists had been slashed to shreds... *shiver* |

Odd though, they never mentioned Charles Morgan in the Dan Casolaro case and yeh it's sure is fascinating how it's tied together. |

I forgot to mention it a few days ago, but CRicci your new avatar is way cool.
Casolaro was murdered. Like him, I too get freaked out at blood. That would be the last way I would take my life (makes me think of Leslie Nielsen in one of the Naked Gun movies: "getting chopped into bits by the propellers of a commuter plane - that's the way to go!) Or something like that anyways. I cringe at the mention of blood. I'm cringing right now as a matter of fact.

Thanks for the props on the new avatar... It was actually from the same photo shoot for W magazine that produced the infamous "champagne in pool" pic...
![]() I totally forgot that Casalaro was freaked out by blood. That, combined with the facts that his wrists weren't just cut but slashed numerous times, makes me certain that he was murdered. |

Yes, I think Casolaro was murdered. I mean besides the guys fear of blood I just dont think a person could slash themselves like that, that many times because they were not just cuts but were slashes so deep some of them severed tendons I believe. The guy was most certainly murdered and I think the police there covered it up too.

Plus you couple that with all of his documents of his writings of what he was working on were missing. Also there was a bruise on his arm and head (possible injuries used to subdue him?) and some of his fingertips were missing (torture to get all of his documents?). This was an obvious murder/hit. I think the police botched it from the beginning and whoever pulled this hit off didn't even need get involved to help botch it. The investigators declared it a suicide from the beginning and embalmed him, destroying any evidence of a drugging or evidence that he was subdued in some way making it almost impossible to determine anything else other than the wrist slashings. I wonder where a new investigation would go since all of the evidence was destroyed essentually. This one will probably never be solved, especially since it was some kind of hit/conspiracy, unless someone ever talks about it. But usually hitmen stay in business because of them not talking, so we'll most likely never know who did it, but just speculate on the entity that ordered the hit.
