^^^NEW INFO^^^

Weclome to the third part of “The Finder’s” investigation, where in the second part, we hit the bulk of the initial Tallahassee investigation, uncovering more details about the two suspects’ backgrounds, their behavior leading up to the arrests and discoveries, the uncovering of “The Finder’s” cult, and many other details that potentially hold a key in our investigation.

In this part, we will wrap up the rest of the Tallahassee incident investigation, and begin to make the connections between this Incident, The Finder’s, the Sex abuse scare of the 1980s, and pizzagate. We will begin to expose how this intertwines with the Government, especially certain politicians and recent pizzagate events and evidence, and the subsequent cover-up.

Before we begin, if you have not read the first two parts of our investigation, it is extremely recommended you read them first, so you can be up to speed with the investigation as it goes along.

It is also advised that some details in the investigation may have a tendency to upset people due to the graphic nature of the reporting. Please read at your own risk. With that said, let’s put a wrap the Tallahassee incident.

February 10th, 1987

The February 10th report lists more details of phone conversations conducted by Tallahassee investigators, seeking information related to the case at hand. As expected, more information potentially relevant, or completely relevant, to the case was received.

Investigator Weigand was contacted by Mr. Joe Anneken of the National Child Safety Council, informing the investigators that he needed the dates of birth of the children, as he was concerned that one of the children in HRS custody was related to a missing child’s case.

About an hour later, an investigator contacted the Watertown, New York Police Department to see if any of the children in HRS custody was related to a Missing child’s case there.

About 15 minutes later, the investigator contacted the Hillsborough investigator Ellen Caussey, who notified the investigator of an arrest on Saturday, February 7th at a mobile home park after an unknown man was seen giving out candy and apples to children. The man was arrested on auto theft charges stemming from a case in Kentucky, where the children had been a few months prior.

Sgt. Cross of the Illinois State Police informed the Tallahassee investigators to check the children to see if any of the children were related to another Missing Child’s case. The child had gone missing since October of 1985.

Joe Anneken the called back and stated that the NCSC was willing to put names and description of the children in their database for “international reference” in attempts to identify them.

Sgt. Ruddell of the Punta Gorda Police Department notified the investigator of an arrest of Anthony Wingo, who was in custody for a minor traffic violation. No relation was found.

At 11:12 AM, Sheriff Jamie Hoover of the Suffock County Sheriff’s office in New York received an anonymous tip about a suspicious male who had moved into the neighborhood three days prior. The male had 2 children, but did not allow them to play with other children, and that a green van was seen around the house a number of times.

About 20 minutes later, Hoover informed the investigators that He had been in contact with one of the arestee’s parents, and that the parents wished for the arrestee to contact them.

Just after Noon, Lt. Lee Hart of the Culpepper, VA Police Department informed that he had worked a case in the past, and had knowledge of a man named Steve Berns, possibly relating to the man who Pettie “owned”. Hart informed that Berns lived in Ocala in the past and had relations to the Finder’s cult. He also stated that Pettie put out messages for members, informing them to flee and hide, and that Pettie could potentially go to Andrews Air Force Base and fly a “Military plane” to China. Hart then sent a copy of Pettie’s photo to the investigator.

A supposed journalist from People Magazine then contacted the investitgaors, requesting the names of the suspects and check it against a list that “she had compiled over the last few years working child abuse cases.” The investigator refused.

Investigators identified the parents of two of the children, while one investigator informed that a female wanted to come down to Tallahasse and try to identify one of the children.

Inspector Vince from the San Francisco Police Department stated a local paper had run a story connecting the Tallahassee Incident to San Francisco. The investigator stated they had no leads pointing to the city, and advised Vince to have new media contact. (This will be massively important later on.)

At 3:20 PM, A witness, V. W. Raker had observed, on the day of the arrest, a White male, or Black male, run with what appeared to be an small child into a blue van in the parking lot of a K-Mart. Later, he observed a dirty white van heading to the Myers Park area.

Calls from South Carolina, Georgia, and Joe Anneken are made to the investigator, stating that children identified in the photographs looked similar to children involved in missing child’s cases.

The last call, made at 4:32 PM, was from an Anonymous caller from Beaumont, Texas. The caller warned of a “strange occurance” in the city of Buna, Texas. The caller described a piece of property surrounded by barbed wire fencing and a electronic hurricane fence at the driveway. The property was also surrounded by men with semi-automatic weapons. The caller also stated the person who occupied the space ran some sort of church and that the owner, Jim Steinmeyer, owned a business under the name “Finders Fayer.” No other info was disclosed by the caller outside of that.

February 11th, 1987

This report focuses on the last interview with Mary and Max, the two oldest children who were discovered during the arrests.

2 investigators and a federal agent went to Chattahoochee, Florida, to interview the two children for more details on the case at hand. Mary was interviewed first by the investigators.

Mary was first shown pictures the FBI had confiscated during the search of the van. Mary remembered the house it was taken in, but could not remember where it was. She could not remember the old man depicted in the photographs.

When shown a picture of the children bathing in buckets, it was revealed that took place at Hill House, where “the goats are” according to Mary. This was found out to be located at a farm in Nethers, Virginia.

Another photo, depicting Mary and Honeybee playing at a wooden structure, was taken at “High Fields” where Mr. Lucky lived. Mary stated that one of the suspects, Doug Ammerman, was building the structure.

Mary then was shown a hand-drawn map, which depicted “the white cabin”, “the red cabin”, where Pettie stays with 3 other men, and “paradise”, a trail from the cabins where the children would play and camp.

Mary also clarified the only hole in the basement is in the food basement, where scraps were not used, her Mother’s punishment was a letter to make her feel bad about herself, and other small details.

Mary also described going on an airplane to Gainesville and Tampa, Florida. When she was in Gainesville, she met 3 juveniles and 3 adults during this time.

Mary also listened to an anonymous phone call to the Nation Center for Exploited Children. The man, according to Mary, sounded like a man named Stuart Silverstone. Stuart had covered the phones at that Washington warehouse.

When asked about Pettie, Mary revealed that the reason why Doug and Michael were not talking, was because Pettie had instructed them NOT to do so should they be caught.

Mary also demonstrated that she could Count to ten in chinese, which she learned from a Chinese man who “guested” at the W street address.

February 13th, 1987

A brief neighborhood check of the area was made at this date and attempted to talk to several people for information. All of the witnesses, save a few, did not see anything prior to the incident, nor saw any unusual treatment of the children before the arrests were made.

Judy Rupert, a resident, saw the blue van around the time of the incident, but did not see any mistreatment by the men during that time.

February 24th, 1987 (Final Summary)

Due to the length of the final report, it would be impossible to break down every page. But instead, we have taken the most important details out and laid them out for you to read and intake.

National Media accounts where highly involved in the case.

Information from all over the United States was received from Law enforcement officials to News Reporters to Civilians on a wide array of topics.

The computer recovered on the 8th of February at FSU was left behind by other members of the group that were traveling separately. Messages were sent via phone lines to a central system.

Holwell, or Houlihan, had 2 Miranda rights cards with different wording on them in the van, and a falsified document of an Attorney for Steve Usdin.

Supposed Mothers were interviewed to find out the true identities of the children rescued.

The “Finders” aspect of the group was not related to the case at all, but rather a “Business related” part of the group.

The word “Finders” was not used for a long time, according to the Mothers interviewed.

20 adults and 7 children lived on the W street house, and several of the men took many children to Beara, Kentucky to work on a “Retirement Settlement.” by Reverend Jim Walker.

The Women went to California doing temporary employment jobs in writing and other professions.

The Project came to standstill and the men went on an “adventure” to Florida. The group stayed in Gainesville, FL for several weeks earning money from odd job help ads in newspapers.

The mothers also stated that the statement of the children going to Mexico was not true at the time, but did not clarify where they were heading and said they wanted to go to that school “one day”.

The mothers were opposed to the “news blitz” depicting the group as Satanic and Sacrificing.

The mothers also vehemently denied any sexual abuse in their “Group”, despite the proof of sexual abuse on 2 children.

The group was then determined to be an “alternative lifestyle group”, based off the 1960s commune concept.

The report states that the children were never in danger, but rather utilizing the values of the group.

Photos of children with slaughtered goats (universal symbol of Satanism) was deemed not satanic, but a “hands on” experience.

The starvation of these children were not mentioned, and dismissed.

In the end, the investigation was deemed that the children were NOT in any danger, and that the group was not shady, but rather an alternative lifestyle group. Neglectful or abusive behavior, despite all evidence submitted and documented, could not be determined, and the case was subsequently closed.

This ends the third part of our investigation, and ends the initial Tallahassee incident investigation. However, we are still in the thick of things. As in the next part, we will begin to process certain details, and begin to connect the dots that will eventually lead us to today.

STAY TUNED….
