Death is a door — a big black door with no handle, just a big black door.

The Killing of Richard

The name of the man my wife and I killed was Richard (last name forgotten — my brain injury keeps me from recalling names and faces). It happened at the Homewood Suites on North First Street, San Jose, California, on December 25, 1995.

This was right after the Octel Communications heist in Milpitas. Both Cheryl (my wife) and Richard had applied with Allied Security and took intelligence and personality tests at Pinkerton. They scored genius on intelligence, normal on personality.

Matthew and Sean Monforte of STM Robotics in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, ordered Richard’s killing. Richard had been working for STM but threatened to expose our computer heists unless he got $50,000 a week. We were being paid $20,000.

In November 1995, Sean called me at night, while I was in New England, and told me Richard had to go. Three days after the killing, Cheryl and I drove to Scotts Valley and bought three bags of concrete, a spade, four gallons of water, and bacterial accelerant to decompose the body. Richard’s remains still haven’t been found in the Santa Cruz mountains.

The Room

The Homewood Suites room had a fireplace, a kitchen on the right, a blue fold-out bed in the living room, and the master bedroom by the bathroom.

I killed Richard with a crowbar near the blue fold-out. Left Cheryl with the body while I went out in the van looking for cleaning supplies.

When I returned, Richard’s eyes had been gouged out. His penis severed, lying near the tub drain. Cheryl used a Benchmade knife given to her by Larry Newberry of Southern Ordnance, Babson Park, Florida.

Aftermath and Money

I contacted Matthew and Sean the second week of January 1996. They paid me $20,000 for the killing plus $50,000 for the Octel heist.

I later reached out to Lillian Staino, wife of mobster Ralph Staino (Philadelphia). She recommended Andy Sinsigalli at Everen Securities in Sunnyvale, California, to launder money.

Drugs, Abuse, and Experiments

The other day, I was drugged at chow. Within 20 minutes, I was slurring speech, couldn’t keep my eyes open, seeing colors and cartoons, unable to breathe. Patriot Act bullshit.

Summer 2023, Nurse Practitioner Kometa (Aspen/Flamenco) convinced me to drink my own urine daily for six months — said it was an African cure for neuropathy. All it did was spike ammonia levels, damage nerves, and make me pink.

Banner University Hospital tested me for genetic predispositions (schizophrenia, bipolar, etc.). Results: none.

Zoe

My daughter Zoe, if you ever read this: you were conceived in January 1996, at the Green Library at Stanford University. Phoenix PD has your ultrasound.

Surveillance and Altered Evidence

Prison officers here can edit surveillance footage with such high-tech software even experts can’t tell it’s altered. Special effects are done at Central Office. They cover abuse this way.

Loose Ends

After Richard was killed, Cheryl returned all his designer clothes, got store credit, and bought herself outfits in San Francisco.

I’ve asked for a polygraph. I can pass relevant questions about Matthew, Sean, and STM Robotics. Everyone there knew about:

The drug smuggling to England.

The stock fraud.

The killing of Richard.

Nobody was going to risk their restricted STM stock or their freedom.
