Cases involving people who knew too much

[radiohead33]

Meaning, which cases involved the death of someone who knew too much about an issue, an organization, the government, or specific cases or people.

Two that immediately come to mind are Danny Casalero and Dave Bocks. Su Taraskowitz, and Tommy Burkett also would fit this theme

Kait Arquette, though it wasn't known at the UM aired her story.

Obviously Roger Wheeler and John Callahan (World Jai Alai). Stanley Gryziec and Charles Morgan likely were both killed over information that they possessed. Frank Olsen's death is pretty suspect, and the informant's information about Steve Sandlin seemed fairly credible.

I generally don't subscribe to the military conspiracies that UM presented, but I do believe Paul Whipkey was involved in more secretive activities. However, I don't think that he was necessarily murdered.

Dale Kerstetter

[XCalibur]

Michael Frankie stands out, and possibly Ralph Probst. On an even larger scale I mentioned Vince Foster as well though there is a dispute as to whether or not that was suicide or murder.

There was also the lady accountant who was set on fire in her own bed, she supposedly knew of some bad banking practices, I can't think of her name but she definitely seems to qualify.

Mikki Jo West (sp?), The banking investigator in AZ named Lee, and possibly the realtor in Ypsilanti, MI named Jack.

[Steve W.]

some others I believe fall into this category:

-Cynthia (Cindy) Anderson

-Jeffrey Digman

-Norman Ladner (saw "too much" in the murderer's eyes)

-Keith Warren (think he probably knew that some police informants or actual officers were tied to dealers he had bought from before)

[MegtheEgg86]

Definitely Charles Morgan. I think Kevin Ives and Don Henry saw too much as well.

Dave Bocks

[amandab1234]

Stanley Gryziec is the first person who came to mind when I saw this thread. This case always fascinated me. It makes you wonder what exactly did his brother tell him? I feel bad for the family, they lost him and within 20mths lost his wife to Any updates or suspects on this case?

I would throw in Doyle..can't remember the last name. He was ALMOST killed because he knew about probable police corruption during the investigation of the San Diego McDonald's massacre. Not a murder but definitely came very close.

I would also put in the case of the prison guard who was likely killed for knowing about another guard's involvement in an inmate's murder.

[TheCars1986]

Dave Bocks is the number one case for me where I actually believe 100% that he was murdered to be silenced.

[Clytemnestra]

Lynn Amos - knew too much about corruption in Mexican banks she was auditing and was about to blow the whistle on their operations.

[88keys]

What about that lady who worked as a baggage handler for an airline and was always being harassed by her male co-workers? Wasn't she about to file a lawsuit against the airline?

Doyle Wheeler was the cop in San Diego

Dan Casolaro can be added to this list. He did not cut his wrists contrary to the initial investigation.

Don Devereaux too. Not murdered but a hit was intended for him but they got his neighbor Doug Johnston who drove a similar car to him
