More Pictures of Eve Carson Murder Suspect “Person of Interest” Caught on Surveillance photos in NC … Crime Gang Related?

Police have released to the public more pictures of the main suspect “person of interest” in the murder of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill coed Eve Carson. The new photo shows the same suspect that was seen on the ATM video, attempting to use Eve Carson’s ATM card at a convenience store. Question: Did the clerk at the store not notice that the “person of interest” using the ATM card was a black male whose name was most likely not … Eve Carson as stated on her ATM? Was it reported to police at the time? Wouldn’t that be identity theft? Was the card confiscated or was the purchase allowed to go through?

Eliot Spitzer, Governor of New York, Linked to Prostitution Ring as Client 9 … Resignation Cannot be Far Away

What was that sound? That was the sound of the thud of Eliot Spitzer’s career falling off the Empire State Building.

And for the political bomb shell of the day … the  Governor of New York, Democrat Eliot Spitzer, has been linked to a prostitution ring, this is going to leave a political mark. Eliot Spitzer has been identified as “Client 9” in “Hooker-gate”. Not just any “hookergate, but a $5500 per hour hookergate. As Rusty at The Jawa Report stated, “these were not street corner crack whores, but hot upscale models.  Say good bye Mr. Governor … there is no way your political career is surviving this.

With the bombshell news today that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has been implicated in a prostitution ring, the Democratic politician will now always be known as “Client-9,” one of the johns described in a recently unsealed FBI affidavit detailing the operation of the Emperors Club, an international call girl ring.

It is hard to believe that Eliot Spitzer, a man who had prosecuted so many as a DA and Attorney General would be taken down by the very devices he used over the years to bring criminals to justice. Talk about living and dying by the same sword. Spitzer will never be able to survive this scandal as there is already talk of his resignation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
March 10, 2008
STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR ELIOT SPITZER

(Client 9, there is going to be hell to pay at the Spitzer home this evening)

ALBANY – Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who gained national prominence relentlessly pursuing Wall Street wrongdoing, has been caught on a federal wiretap arranging to meet with a high-priced prostitute at a Washington hotel last month, according to a law enforcement official and a person briefed on the investigation.

The wiretap captured a man identified as Client 9 on a telephone call confirming plans to have a woman travel from New York to Washington, where he had reserved a hotel room, according to an affidavit filed in federal court in Manhattan. The person briefed on the case and the law enforcement official identified Mr. Spitzer as Client 9.

Mr. Spitzer, a first term Democrat, today made a brief public appearance during which he apologized for his behavior, and described it as a “private matter.” He did not address his political future. (NY Times)

Prostitution link tarnishes Spitzer’s “clean” image

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer promised voters he would clean up the state’s corrupt political ethics, but a report on Monday that he is linked to a prostitution ring is threatening to derail the career of a man once considered a political star.

Affidavit: Spitzer met with prostitute ‘Kristen’

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Federal prosecutors have unsealed a 47-page affidavit that details a nearly 2½-hour rendezvous that took place in a Washington hotel room last month between New York’s Gov. Eliot Spitzer and a prostitute.

The prostitute, identified only as “Kristen” worked for the Emperors Club, which charged between $1,000 and $5,500 an hour and operated in New York; Los Angeles, California; Miami, Florida; London, England; and Paris, France, according to court papers.

Gov. Eliot Spitzer was not expected to continue as governor and may resign as soon as Monday night, sources told CBS 2 shortly after it was reported that he was linked to a prostitution ring.

State Assemblyman James Tedisco (R-Schenectady) told CBS 2 that he spoke with Paterson earlier Monday evening and that the two discussed Paterson taking on a new role of leadership, leading Tedisco to believe that action was “forthcoming.” (WCBSTV)

UPDATE II: New York could get first African-American governor, David A. Paterson.

The State of New York may have its first African American governor, David A. Paterson, due to Eliot Spitzer/George Fox/Client 9 and his colassal error in judgement in being linked to a prostitution ring.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - David A. Paterson would become the first African-American governor of New York if the current governor, Eliot Spitzer, resigns in the wake of allegations of ties to prostitution.

Paterson, who is legally blind, was elected lieutenant governor in November 2006 together with Spitzer. The New York Times said the governor, a Democrat and former state attorney general, was caught on a federal wiretap last month as he arranged to meet a prostitute.

Was There a Second Person In ATM Surveillance Photos of UNC Coed Eve Carson’s Killing

Police are now looking into whether there was a second person in the back seat of the SUV picture taken from the ATM surveillance camera in the case of murdered University of North Carolina coed Eve Carson.

St. Louis-based photography expert William Mathis also recognized the outline of another person in the back seat of the SUV while creating color-enhanced, enlarged copies of two black and white images provided by police, the Raleigh Chronicle reported.

Could the person in the back seat be Eve Carlson or an accomplice? See police released pictures HERE.

Police are seeking second person.

Chapel Hill Police tell FOX News there was a second person in the vehicle driven by a man they say was trying to use murdered University of North Carolina student body president Eve Carson’s ATM card Sunday. Police Chief Brian Curran told FOX News officials are now seeking the second figure discovered in the original black and white ATM photos. Cops have said the SUV in the surveillance photo could be Carson’s blue 2005 Toyota Highlander and if there was a second person in the back seat, it could explain how the killer or killers got away.

As authorities continue to investigate this senseless killing; fiends, family and loved one’s remember and mourn Eve Carson.

The world was a better place because of Eve Carson.

Scared Monkeys Protests Aruba at the St. Louis Travel Show in St. Charles, MO and a Show of Unity for Justice…for Natalee Holloway

Once again there was a travel show, this time the St Louis Travel Show 2008, in St Charles, MO. Once again Scared Monkeys was present protesting Aruba and providing a show of Unity for Justice … for Natalee Holloway and all US citizens missing/murdered in foreign countries.

Concerned individuals showed at the 2008 St. Louis Travel Show to provide a voice for Natalee Holloway and remind all travelers that Aruba has still done nothing to provide … Justice for Natalee. It would appear from reports that once again the Aruban booth was a ghost town and Aruba still has this issue with that America right called “free speech”.

Listen to the audio reports from Sunny in TX

• AUDIO UPDATE I: “ … we’ve got 2,4,6,8,10,12, 13 people out here, Fox News has been out. Aruba has already complained about us, but that’s ok …”
• AUDIO UPDATE II: “ … We are getting fantastic comments. We are getting people stopping and talking about Natalee. We got moved, but we actually got moved to a better place. We are right at the entrance and L has her van here so we put one of the banners up where people are driving in and that is the first thing they see is, Justice for Natalee …” 
• AUDIO UPDATE III: “ … we are inside the hall and once again the Aruba booth is unmanned. There is no one there, people are not stopping and picking up brochures …”

Below is the fantastic message from those at the ST Louis Travel Show by Sunny in TX. A tremendous job done by all.

American Woman Missing in Aruba
 
Natalee Holloway missing in Aruba since May 30, 2005.

She went on her Senior Class Trip to Aruba and never came home. Natalee could be YOU, your child, sister, niece, grandchild, cousin or best friend. Would you just forget about her if she was? Would you allow the Aruban police and legal system sweep her under the rug? Would you just forget about her and go on?

(Carlos N’ Charlies)

Natalee left a local night club with a young man who claimed to be a student from Holland, staying at the Holiday Inn…the same hotel Natalee and her group were staying.  She got into a car believing she was being taken back to her hotel…she has NOT BEEN SEEN since…

Her parents flew to Aruba and the one of the biggest injustices to an American citizen and family began.  Her parents and their friends discovered, in a few short hours, who Natalee left with and the circumstances. They provided the local police with the information…information the police should have already had but didn’t..WHY? Because they had not taken any steps to find out!! It was just a missing girl…no big deal…right!

The past 2 years and 10 months have been filled with unbelievable highs and lows for the family of Natalee Holloway….her father spent 2 weeks digging in the local landfill looking for his daughter’s body. Her mother was followed and threatened in Aruba,

(Aruba landfill search, July/Aug 2005)

…even when the main suspect in her disappearance. Joran Van der Sloot, the son of a local member of the legal establishment and acting JUDGE, states in a taped conversation with his ‘best friend’ that Natalee convulsed on the beach and  not knowing whether she was dead or ALIVE,  arranged to have her body dumped in the sea…he was not arrested……!   WHY?  If he was innocent of any wrong doing towards Natalee…why not call 911? Why not get her HELP!! WHY??

(Once suspects: Deepak Kalpoe, Satish Kalpoe & Joran Van der Sloot)

And where is this suspect now?  Is he in jail? NO!!! Not even his taped confession of being responsible for having her dumped in the sea, possibly ALIVE, was not enough for Aruba…..to arrest him. He walks free and Natalee Holloway is still missing.

Natalee is but one young woman…but she could be any young woman…someone YOU know….and love.

Justice for Natalee Holloway equals justice for ALL American visitors to foreign countries.

Join us on Sunday, March 9, 2008 at the St. Louis Travel Show in St. Charles Mo, any time between 11AM and 5PM for a show of Unity for Justice…for Natalee Holloway and all US citizens missing/murdered in foreign countries. Will you join hands with us and show the attending countries we WILL NOT FORGET?  We CAN protect our citizens by ensuring ALL destinations know  we will NOT allow our missing or murdered to be forgotten …we WILL STAND FOR THEM and DEMAND JUSTICE. 

UPDATE I: More Pics from St Louis Travel Show 2008
