A CN reader sent the following item; I'm not sure if it's an AP,
|
|
Reuters, or whatever story: Police probe mystery writer's
|
|
mysterious death 4:42pm EST, 12/10/96.
|
|
|
|
CHICAGO - A mystery writer found hanging by a rope outside
|
|
his office window may have committed suicide, police said
|
|
Tuesday, although friends said he may have been threatened
|
|
by militia groups.
|
|
|
|
Eugene Izzi, 43, who had written a dozen little-known
|
|
mysteries including one made into a television movie, was
|
|
found Saturday morning hanging by a thick rope outside a
|
|
14th floor downtown office building.
|
|
|
|
The Chicago Sun-Times reported in a front-page story
|
|
headlined "Novelist's Hanging a Whodunit" that Izzi's body
|
|
was clad in a bullet-proof vest and his pockets contained
|
|
notes referring to telephoned threats from militia groups.
|
|
|
|
The newspaper quoted an unnamed friend as saying
|
|
Chicago-born Izzi may have infiltrated a militia group to
|
|
research a future novel and run afoul of the group's rules.
|
|
|
|
"Officially, it's a death investigation," a police
|
|
spokesman said. "He's gotten more notoriety in death than
|
|
he ever did in life."
|
|
|
|
The spokesman said bruises on Izzi's face and body may have
|
|
come from his lifeless body banging against the building
|
|
for a couple of hours before it was found. But police were
|
|
looking at computer discs and other material recovered from
|
|
Izzi's ransacked office for clues to his death.
|
|
|
|
Chicago investigator Sherman Skolnick contends that blame for
|
|
Izzi's death is being shoved in the direction of the populist
|
|
militias, to cover up what is actually a Chicago Police
|
|
Department murder squad. Mr. Skolnick, with decades of
|
|
experience on such matters, says that there is a group of white
|
|
policemen in the Chicago P.D. who routinely murder outspoken
|
|
blacks. Izzi, a black author, was, according to Skolnick, an
|
|
expert on police corruption, racial matters, and murder squads
|
|
and apparently had written a book (said to be due out in April
|
|
1997) which may have upset some person or persons. After
|
|
discussing the matter with low-level television journalists,
|
|
Skolnick discovered that the alleged police murder squad angle to
|
|
the story is being killed by higher ups of at least one network.
|
|
"Is the FBI leaning on the TV stations?" he wonders.
|
|
|
|
Some readers may have trouble incorporating the concept of
|
|
certain police personnel as murderers. Yet it was not so long
|
|
ago in Chicago that a white policeman blatantly shot a black
|
|
homeless person in that city. Recall that around the summer of
|
|
1995 a white Chicago police officer was leaving a tavern with his
|
|
black mistress, when they were approached by a homeless black
|
|
man. Some disagreement ensued and the off-duty policeman went to
|
|
the trunk of his car, pulled out a pistol, shot the homeless man
|
|
point-blank in the face, then calmly drove off with his mistress.
|
|
|
|
Here is a relevant portion from Mr. Skolnick's latest recorded
|
|
message (312-731-1100):
|
|
|
|
A Chicago-based murder mystery writer, Eugene Izzi, had
|
|
uncovered data showing there was a Chicago Police murder
|
|
squad that went around killing political activists,
|
|
especially blacks. Some of their targets were the lawyers
|
|
of litigants in the City Hall [Shackman related] cases. (A
|
|
large number of the city workers are blacks.)
|
|
|
|
On December 7th, 1996, Izzi was found hanging by a rope
|
|
from an open window of a 13th-floor office on a main street
|
|
of Chicago: North Michigan Avenue. Izzi was wearing a
|
|
bullet-resistant vest, brass knuckles in his pocket, and a
|
|
can of disabling spray.
|
|
|
|
To cover up the Chicago Police assassination squad, local
|
|
authorities told the pressfakers that faraway militia units
|
|
were implicated in the strange apparent murder. *Oh*
|
|
*yeah*??
|
|
|
|
|
|
The apparent discrepancy between mention of Izzi's 14th-floor
|
|
office vs. 13th-floor office is resolved by the common practice
|
|
of not actually labeling the 13th floor as such; i.e., floors are
|
|
often numbered 11, 12, then 14, with the 13th floor not actually
|
|
named as such.
|
|
|
|
Some readers may also recall a piece done within the past year or
|
|
two on PBS (probably on Frontline), showing victims of torture
|
|
which occurred in one Chicago police district. It was claimed
|
|
that torture was often used on suspects in that district so as to
|
|
obtain "confessions."
