He didn't "bring" Hatami. He's never going to be executed but hopefully he will suffer a long painful death. He also shared this with Paul Fitzgerald who told him he already knew this.But it's not true. A little known fact is that Reeve Whitson was involved in the push to make a street legal version of the GT40, otherwise known as the Mark III GT40. Whitson was a former CIA agent who had worked extensively in Latin America including Ecuador. Maybe Whit Reeveson is like an imaginary friend. Thabk you, Bunkhouse, Does anyone have any additional info on Reeve Whitson? Sometimes, it's actually worth following theories to a logical conclusion. TJ ? "pg190Neil Cummings, lawyer friend of Whitson: "when it came to Manson, he "was closer to it than anybody..""He was actively involved with some sort of investigation when it happened. I have to confess to a certain amusement at the personages you drag out to lend credence to your theories of the moment. One learns again that the jury were not sunshine supermen but flawed characters, just like us. "ThanksMario George Nitrini 111-------The OJ Simpson Case. Reeve Whitson was born circa 1931, at birth place, Illinois, to Mervyn Whitson and Florence Whitson. Being arrested is not an offence let alone proof of guilt, let alone a conviction. According to Bugliosi, p. 85, the time was between 7:30 and 8:00. Has anyone considered the possibility that Whitson was working for Peter Folger (Abigails Dad)?We know Mr. Folger was having Abigail watched by private detectives because he was very worried about her "associations."

Virtually all of the info I've dug up about Whitson parallels what my friend remembers with the exception of Whitson's family ties.

He also confirmed a detail from Ed Sanders The Family that Melcher had let him borrow his Jaguar for the long drive to Ukiah.So Buglisois timeline was wrong and Melcher lied to me. Bugliosi had covered up for Terry Melcher during the trial. hbbd```b`` WA$#. McGann was nearly certain that Whitson was in the CIA, and found him "very credible. Chaos reads like a bad spy novel CIA spooks MK Ultra Manchurian candidates really just ridiculousEven the interesting parts such as why Manson's parole was never revoked after all of his arrests for some fairly serious crimes went nowhere we've all heard this before I was hoping maybe the reasons would finally be expained but never where don't waste your money there's plenty of really good book's on the subject I believe my collection on the subject is right around 30 books, The craziest thing is 30 books is just the tip of the iceberg, I'd bet if one of the real experts in the TLB community sat down for a few hours and listed them there would be at least 150, if you added magazine articles, movies, TV specials, musical recordings, podcasts, you'd be at 1000 or more. I've been reading a lot of British footballers autobiographies over the last 18 months and it never ceases to amaze me how people aren't even aware of the dates of certain events in their own lives or the results of matches they are commenting on.

Whitson told him that Sharon and four others were dead. 'Nuff said.Melcher moved out of Cielo Drive in December of 1968.

He was a big talker and might have been a bit of Colonel Flagg type, but there is no doubt he had a lot of connections.How Whitson got so close to Bugliosi is strange and helped put pressure on Hatami. O'Neill mentions the story of Manson going back to the Tate house with a "mysterious partner." "Yes, it's true, there was a flag draped over the back of the sofa. BUGLIOSI:I guess you could say thatQ:In connection with your duties thereto and therewith, did you have occasion to interview the preceding witness in your office in the month of April, 1970?A:Yes. Extensive research and a slew of FOIA requests did not produce a smoking gun or much beyond the shadowy, ill-explained presence around these events of Reeve Whitson, an alleged "intelligence operative." O'Neill also examines the CIA program MKULTRA, which may have gotten him closer to his goalbut not much. He didn't apply for it. Folger, a former air intel officer in WWII, still kept close ties to the government. The man comes across as a narcissistic hypocrite who also is a Mark Fuhrman apologist.

Of the 9 people you mention, one of them says Whitson was there.
