Sugarland in Contempt of Agreement with Baxter Widow
100 pictures of suicide scene ordered destroyed can't be found

this is an bit of an article in today's front page news in Sugarland
if you go to the papers website www.fortbendstar.com

You will find all other articles but not this one

Even though the city of Sugarland has sent a letter of apology to the widow of J Clifford Baxter's widow Carol Whalen and will pay $500 dollars fine for failing to abide by a previous settlement agreement with her she is not happy with the outcome.

The contempt order filed in Travis County stems from Whalens attorney filed for a temporary restraining order after the state attorney general (AG) ruled in 2002 that her husband was a public person and therefore all evidence collected in the suicide could be made public by the Sugarland Police Dept. As a result of that ruling Whalen's attorney filed a temporary restraining order on April11 and a second on April 12

Whalen and the city agreed to settlement in 2002 that stipulated that the Sugarland Police Department would destroy over 100 photos. But when it came to destroy them the photos can not be found anywhere.


So basicly no body knows what happen to those photos they have conveniently left the building!!!

Is it me or does that sound suspicious!!!

1. Let me refresh your Memory at Who Cliff Baxter was
The Mysterious Death Of An Enron Exec

WASHINGTON, April 10, 2002

(CBS) It may be the biggest outstanding mystery in the Enron story:
the death of Cliff Baxter, a former top Enron executive. He'd just
agreed to testify to Congress in the Enron case. A congressional
source tells CBS News that Baxter wasn't a target in the probe, he
was to provide evidence against others.

But on the morning of January 25th he was found in his car - shot
dead.

Police were criticized for calling it a suicide before investigating,
so they kept the case open. The fact that it's still open more than
two months later has made the Cliff Baxter case prime fodder for
murder conspiracy theories, reports CBS News Correspondent Sharyl
Attkisson.

Adding to the mystery is a letter - perhaps a suicide note - that
Baxter's wife is fighting to keep private. Groups like the Texas
Freedom of Information Foundation want at least part of it made
public.
more

The coroner says police still won't tell her exactly who handled and
who saw the body before it finally reached her and won't even give
her routine information.

The official finding on Baxter's death may well end up being suicide,
but for now his death certificate remains unsigned. And at least one
provocative question is left permanently unanswered: what, exactly,
Cliff Baxter would have told investigators about the biggest
corporate scandal in history.

2. about the strange & convenient death of Cliff Baxter
"The most disturbing account of Baxter*s last days comes from a
former business associate who spoke to the New York Times but was not
identified by the newspaper. This person spoke with the former Enron
vice chairman two days before his death and congratulated him 'for
being named among those people who complained about Enron.' According
to the Times account, the unnamed associate added that Baxter 'was
talking about perhaps needing a bodyguard, though I*m not sure where
that idea came from.' That a man only two days away from suicide
would be considering hiring a bodyguard defies belief. But neither
the Times nor any other media outlet has raised the possibility that
Baxter felt his life to be in danger because of what he knew and
could divulge about the internal affairs of Enron."

and now 100 photo negatives can't be found in Sugarland Police Dept.

I'll ask the question Who took them and Why anybody got any answers???

4. Another article
"The timeline produced by the Sugar Land police has major
inconsistencies! For instance, the police report says that a blood
stain was found on the pavement outside the car, caused by someone
laying Baxter on the ground! Yet the body was in the car when the
funeral home personnel arrived to handle it! (...) Other questions
have been raised about the fatal wound, which was very large * 7.2 cm
by 4.5 cm * according to the coroner*s report! One estimate of the
spread pattern of rat shot suggests that the gun muzzle must have
been two to three feet away from his temple for the shot to have
diverged that much, an improbably awkward position for a suicide!"

5. Reminds me of Kelly's suicide
Edited on Wed Feb-02-05 09:12 PM by lovuian
The police had informed the medical examiner*s office that on January 23, two days before he died, Baxter bought 30 ten-milligram. Ambien tablets. The prescription was for one a day. Patients are told to go to bed immediately and warned not to drive a car. If they don*t follow those instructions they may experience a hypnotic trance in which they can be easily controlled by others. The police found only 25 tablets in the bottle. In 24 to 30 hours Baxter apparently took five Ambien tablets, three more than the number prescribed. Dr. Ronald Graeser, a forensic pathologist familiar with Ambien, says that in that case Baxter would have been so heavily drugged that it would not have been possible for him to drive his car to the spot where it was found with his body slumped over the steering wheel.

His body was found at 2:27 a.m. on January 25, probably less than 30 hours after he took the first tablet. He probably took another tablet on the night of the 24th and either went to sleep and was later awakened or remained awake and experienced a hypnotic trance, during which he ingested three additional tablets, enough "to drug him out of his mind" according to Dr. Graeser. If he could not drive, the suicide scenario collapses, being based on the assumption that he drove his car to the location where it was parked.
