Exclusive: Mike Connell's Family Copes With His Mysterious Death, Tipsters, Legal Options

-- Guest Blogged by Rebecca M. Abrahams

On December 18, 2008, Bush IT expert Mike Connell, a highly skilled pilot, was killed in a sudden crash while flying his small aircraft from Washington DC to his Akron/Canton home airport. The cause of the crash is still unknown and under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board.

For more than ten months, Connell's family has been coping with feelings of disbelief, anger and confusion and has many unanswered questions about the man they knew and loved.

For Connell's widow Heather, holding her husband's New Media consulting firm together is a daily struggle. "The more I learn about the crash the more sick it makes me," she told me recently.

Although mainly un-reported, there's a great deal of controversy surrounding Connell's death - largely in part because he was the architect of many Republican websites including GeorgeWBush.com and GWB43.com, the site Karl Rove used for 95% of his email correspondence. Connell was also considered a key witness in the election fraud lawsuit King Lincoln Bronzeville Neighborhood Association v. Blackwell. The suit implicates Former Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth J. Blackwell, Karl Rove and others of 2004 election night vote rigging.

Attorneys in the case believe that Connell, who had not been accused of any wrongdoing, had firsthand knowledge about the missing White House emails and Rove's alleged wrongdoing with respect to the 2004 Presidential election.

But his wife, and those attorneys, are not the only ones still focused on questions about what actually happened to Mike Connell nearly one year ago, and in the years prior...

7. When I read the subject line I said to myself, was a small private aircraft involved?



Then I read the text in the body and yes it was.

The corrupt and evil BushCo Regime will be pulling nefarious deeds like this for years to
come until they are brought to justice. But no one seems to want to take the initiative. :shrug:

9. He knew too much
Attorneys in the case believe that Connell, who had not been accused of any wrongdoing, had firsthand knowledge about the missing White House emails and Rove's alleged wrongdoing with respect to the 2004 Presidential election.
-----------------
Waterboard Rove for some answers. Cheney says it's not torture.

12. I am not a conspiracy theorist
but I've been following this whole New Media, Mike Connell thing for years and his death in a small plane crash right before he was scheduled to testify is way too convenient for the people involved. Could it be a coincidence? Sure, but if it is it's one hell of a coincidence. :tinfoilhat:
