Dear Sir

The Office of the Prime Minister is in receipt of your e-mail of 7 September 2004 detailing your sentiments pertaining to the demise of your mother.

Please be advised that the investigations are continuing and until they are finalized it will not be prudent to indulge in smearing or speculation.

Please also be advised that you will be kept abreast of developments as they come to hand.

With regards.

Oaklyn Peets (Mr)

Permanent Secretary

Office of the Prime Minister

Dear Mr. Peets:

Thank you for your reply acknowledging receipt of my email. I am gratified to have heard back from Mr. Douglas' office.

Please be assured that we are not engaged in smearing or speculating, only in seeking a thorough investigation of the facts, some of which have still not been explored, i.e. have the police yet fingerprinted and made comparisons between all the people who were in the house, prints found in the house, and the prints taken from suspects? That's the kind of question we are hoping to have answered.

I appreciate your assurance that we will be kept informed. I'd like to take you up on that. Can you find answers for any of the following questions:

As explained above, fingerprinting and making comparisons between all the people who were in the house, prints found in the house, and the prints taken from suspects, seems an important step. Has this happened? If not, will it? If so, when? If not, why not?

The television which was taken as evidence was, according to the FBI agent and Inspector Brandy, sent to the US with the agent for analysis sometime around August 29. As recently as today Mr. J. Llewellyn Edmeade, Chief Secretary National Security emailed a friend of mine, Ms. Ulrike rainer, and told her the following:

"The television is being sent to the F.B.I. Laboratory this week to check and see if there is any tissue on the corner of the set where it may have come into contact with the deceased head."

This week? Where has the television been all this time?

These are the kinds of questions which make it difficult to have confidence in the investigation as it's proceeding. Believe me, I want this to go well. I wish my mother had met an accidental death. If that's the truth, I want to know. But, if that's not the truth, I also want to know that.

I appreciate your time and attention to the concerns I'm expressing, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Walter I. Zeichner
