Nine years ago today, White House counsel Vince Foster's dead body was found in Fort Marcy park, outside of Washington, DC. And despite (or more correctly, because of) Ken Starr's incompetent travesty of an investigation into the matter, the cause and location of his demise remains unknown.

If Vince Foster had had a gun, he might be alive today.

Well, of course, he did have one. He just didn't have it at the time of his death, and the one that was found in the park wasn't it, either.

Point taken, though.

Mark Furhman, who solved the Skakel case, says he's going after the Foster case next. Let us hope he can break it open (preferably after Hillary is nominated...)

Yes, he's said that he's interested, but I don't know if he said that he was definitely going after it. If he does, he'd better watch his back.

I've always wondered if the Foster family was bribed or threatened to keep quiet--surely they can't buy the official story. I know that if I was one of his relatives, I'd want to see Vince Foster get his day in court before being convicted of the murder of Vince Foster, and the evidence certainly wouldn't be enough to convict...

I have wondered if what actually happened is that he committed suicide in some place he wasn't supposed to be in (where finding his dead body would have caused an even bigger scandal), and for that reason his body was removed elsewhere; I don't necessarily think that he was murdered -- though that remains a possibility.

The problem is that the evidence was so damaged in the botched investigation that we'll probably never know what happened to him. It was never treated properly as a homicide investigation (which is always the default assumption under normal circumstances). Instead, it was assumed from the beginning that it was suicide, so the evidence wasn't handled carefully. But if he committed suicide, he did it with a gun that he didn't own, and his body got to the park before his car did, both of which circumstances seem passing strange to me.

I think that by far murder is the likeliest possibility, but where and by whom and why I have no idea. But I think that Mr. and Mrs. Clinton do.

I think the evidence was also damaged because the Clinton White House immediately and reflexively went into automatic full bore coverup mode. There's no doubt that the evidence and scene were tampered with. Perhaps for no reason other than coverup was the standard Clinton response to anything even potentially embarrassing.

I think that the fact that they quickly grabbed the files out of his office, and then lied about it, indicates that there's more there than just a reflexive coverup. The evidence was munged so that we'll probably never know what happened, unless someone confesses, but what survived shows much more indication of foul play than suicide. It is an interesting puzzler for Mr. Fuhrman.

Just read about 5 books on the OJ case. Of all Mark Furhman's book was the most credible. I would like his e-mail address- Has there been any move to appeal his "conviction" for perjury - not a pardon, but a making of this terribly travesty "right"
