In July 2016, dubbed a British conspiracy theorist Max Spiers, 39 was found dead in a friend’s home in Poland. His body was discovered on the sofa by the homeowner Monika Duval, described as his business partner, although some believe she was his secret lover. Duval is also described as a science fiction writer.In a BBC documentary interview, Spiers mother, Vanessa Bates, was asked if her son’s relationship with Duval was more than a business partner. She responded that Max was under pressure for it to be more. She was further asked about the mysterious text messages she received from her son prior to his death. She stated that Max has texted her, “Your boy is in trouble.”

This was followed by a second text that should he be found dead, she should launch an investigation (1).

Bates also revealed that when Duval sent Spiers’ phone and laptop home to her that the SIM card had been removed and most the data on the laptop had been “wiped”. It’s unclear if Max or someone else was responsible for this.

Spiers Investigated Pedophilia Ring Allegations

The Daily Mail reported that the father of two was known for his interest in UFOs and the alleged US Army pedophilia ring at the Army-run San Francisco facility in the 1980s. Spiers had been investigating these allegations surrounding the 1987 demolition of the Northern California Presidio base child care center (2).

According to a November 16, 1987 NY Times article, the child-care center on the base was closed and demolished “after allegations that as many as 60 youngsters were sexually abused there.”

However, the NY Times reported that Bob Mahoney (Presidio spokesman) stated the reason for closing the child-care center was for, “health, safety and sanitation reasons, and not as a result of allegations of child abuse.” (3)

Seeming to contradict this statement was the one made by then Representative Barbara Boxer, D-California who was reported saying that Army officials told her “some children were afraid to return to the center.” In fact, the center’s attendance during that time frame had supposedly declined very recently from 250 children to 180.

One of the center’s civilian employees, a former Southern Baptist minister, Gary Willard Hambright, 34, was “charged with abusing 10 boys and girls there”.
