THURSDAY, AUGUST 8th: Ann Klenk called, but got no answer. Casolaro called Danielle Stalling and asked her to set up appointments for him the next week with a former police officer, now employed as a private investigator, to learn more about the Laotian warlord Khun Sa's proposed Golden Triangle drug trade from his Asian stepmother. Later that morning, Casolaro dropped by the office of his insurance agent, Jim Kelly, and paid up the insurance policy on his house. FRIDAY, AUGUST 9th: By now Bill Hamilton was starting to worry. "I talk to Danny almost every day." Hamilton said. "I had never gone [without speaking to him] for so long before, so I called Bob Nichols in Los Angeles and asked whether he had heard from Danny recently. He said `Yes, he called late Monday night. Danny sounded like the cat who had swallowed the canary. He was euphoric. I have probably had fifty hours of telephone conversations with him in the last year; he always plays chess with me on the phone. Danny told me that he had just come back from meeting with a source, and he now knew everything about Inslaw and PROMIS, and the Hamiltons were going to be very excited.' He was going back for a final meeting Tuesday. I said, `I haven't heard from him in a few days. It's not like Danny.' Nichols said that he was taking off for Europe that evening." Then Hamilton called Wendy Weaver to find out if she knew where he was. Wendy didn't know, but she promised to find out. By now, Ann Klenk was also worried. Her television program had done a live shot of former Air Force general and Ollie North sidekick Richard Secord the night before; Casolaro knew they were going to talk to Secord, and he'd certainly want to know what happened. Why didn't he call? She phoned Hunter's and asked if anybody had seen him. Nobody had. Meanwhile, Olga, the housekeeper, was taking care of Casolaro's house. She claimed to remember four or five telephone calls that day. The first was about 9 A.M., a man's voice, "good English," she says, and it sounded far away. The voice said: "I will cut his body and throw it to the sharks." About half an hour to an hour later, there was a second call. This voice, also a man's, had no accent, but she thinks it was a different person's. "Drop dead," he said, and hangs up. "You drop dead," Olga remembers saying back. There was a third call. No voice, just music, as if coming from a radio in the background. Olga remembers saying into the phone, "Don't call him no more." The fourth call was the same. Olga left the house before dark. She returned at night and turned on the porch light, thinking that Casolaro would be returning soon. At 10 P.M. there was a fifth call. Again, no voice, and this time no background noise either. Olga slammed the phone down. Sometime between 5 P.M. and 6 P.M., Casolaro placed a collect call to his mother's home in McLean, [Virginia] where the family expected him for dinner. His niece answered the phone; she later recalled that Casolaro said something about having been in Pennsylvania, but she doesn't remember this clearly. He told his mother that he would be late, if he showed up at all, and not to wait for him. SATURDAY, AUGUST 10th: Wendy Weaver called Ann Klenk and told her that Bill Hamilton was worried about Casolaro. Ann was now thoroughly alarmed, and she paged Dr. Tony Casolaro, Danny's brother, at the suburban Virginia hospital where he works. She was relieved to hear about what Tony described as a call from Pennsylvania Friday evening. Wendy Weaver called Hamilton and told him that Casolaro had been in Pennsylvania and was on his way back. About mid-morning, Olga heard the phone ring in Casolaro's house. When she picked up the receiver, there was no voice and no background noise. At 8:30 that evening, Olga returned to Casolaro's house to look for him. The phone rang. A man's voice said, "You son of a bitch. You're dead." SUNDAY. AUGUST 11th: Hamilton called Casolaro's house and got no answer. Sometime after 4 P.M. Dan Bischoff, the national affairs editor at the VILLAGE VOICE, received an anonymous phone call from a man who said the paper should look into the disappearance of a reporter investigating the October Surprise in West Virginia. Bischoff sent a computer message to VOICE editor-in-chief Jonathan Larsen, informing him of the tip. Ann Klenk stopped by Casolaro's house that evening. "It was so still. So empty," she remembered. "It was just dead. I yelled for him and no one was there." She left a note: "Danny -- where the hell are you? I'm worried about you." MONDAY, AUGUST 12th: Bill Hamilton began the day with yet another call to Casolaro's house. Again no answer. Martinsburg police detective Sergeant George Swartwood called Danny Casolaro's mother's house and told the family that Casolaro was dead, an apparent suicide. By the middle of that day, National Public Radio was broadcasting the first reports about Casolaro's mysterious death and "the Octopus". At 10:30 that morning, Hamilton learned from Ann Klenk that Casolaro was dead. (to be continued) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This is one of countless stories unveiling the deeply corrupted and subverted state of our theoretically democratic Government. This story makes disgustingly obvious the fact that patriotism is not the waving of flags, the tying of yellow ribbons and the mindless support of the Government, just because it happens to be ours. You don't support cancer just because you happen to have it. Patriotism is telling the truth to the people of our country in order that they may unite to conquer the anti-democratic cancer that is gradually destroying ours and our children's freedom. So please post the installments of this ongoing series to other bulletin boards, and post hardcopies in public places, both on and off campus. That would be a truly patriotic deed. John DiNardo
