He further alleges on July 31, 2006, "I have been harassed by the FBI for over a year and it was continual." and "I have not seen or heard from the FBI in over 6 months now, but I still think of them every day."
Then, in what the POI describes as a "crazy" twist to this case, he tell us that he was labeled by the FBI as a "hit man", who traveled to Southern California to kill people, and that they somehow drew a connection from his Disneyland trips to being a hit man, to killing Annette though he has never known or come into contact with anyone who was murdered. They never told him who might of hired him to kill Annette, or for that matter the others they loosely alleged he killed. Though "They did play the murder for hire thing pretty good", he says.
It is unclear how trips to southern California relate to Mizener who lived with her husband and children in Wisconsin, while her first husband lived in Arizona.
While he did visit the scene at least a half dozen times, and contact the FBI numerous times, that might be behavior associated with some killers, but it seems very odd for a seasoned professional contract killer.
He alleges they told his fiance that he never graduated from high school nor received a college degree. He says since she attended both events, she clearly knew they were fabricating lies. Not only that, he says his diplomas are on the wall in his office. "More puzzling he was labeled as a man with a history as a "woman beater" when they spoke to his fiance, though she is the only woman he has been with since high school. "They (the FBI) kept asking her (my fiance) to just tell them that I told her I did something to Annette and they would take care of the rest." he said. It is his impression the FBI agents were fishing with the past abuse story, but didn't know the woman they were fishing with knew their story was impossible. He says his finance labeled the agents as the "Federal Bureau Of Intimidation" because of their tactics with her.
Living in a gated community, he says they staked out the community, and went door to door questioning his neighbors. In an action seen on the television show The Sopranos, he further states, the agents would wave to him as he left and entered the complex, trying to intimidate him. The intimidation and contacts with friends and neighbors cost him friendships, after he says they were told "That I was a suspect in a murder and that they should be careful around me."
In April 2006, he says a grand jury was held in Los Angeles, almost a year and half after Annette went missing, and he was requested to provide fingerprints, a full set, "inked prints of my palms, fingers, sides of fingers, fingertips, and sides of my hand." He says he offered to give DNA, they took his DNA, and "informed me that it may be months before I was cleared because the war in Iraq had a higher priority."
A grand jury is held when there are possible charges involving "capital or infamous crimes" under federal jurisdiction, as mandated under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. It is an opportunity to compel testimony from a person of interest, giving evidence against him/herself, without legal representation, and can prove useful in building up the case they will present at the final trial.
He says he has been cleared after DNA results. It would seem if his prints and/or DNA matched those found near where Annette went missing, after he stated he touched nothing, he would have been arrested by now. According to him, he offered to take a lie detector test, and the FBI refused to issue one, saying " they do not believe in them." Then he adds, "My lawyer later informed me to not take one."
Cruise Bruise wondered what might have given the FBI any idea he had a connection to past murders or crimes in his geographical region. We noted one woman missing for over three years before Annette went missing, who was from his hometown of 65,000 people, and who somewhat fit the description of a woman he was seen photographed with, though clearly not her.
There was also a case of a missing woman in a town he had recently visited, who also fit the same loose description of Annette. She went missing a few months before Annette. All the women were 30 to 40 years old, married, blond, blue eyed, around 5'5" tall and none have been found. Other than these facts and their proximity to places the POI has been, there seems to be no connection between these victims, and the person of interest in the Annette Mizener case.
In addition, in our research, we noted men with his name, in various states, who had been wanted in connection with or arrested for drug related charges, bomb threats, and child support arrears.
Then, perhaps another coincidence, there was the one who is known by fellow spelunkers, as an overly curious risk taker, in a high stakes game of trespassing in a metropolitan area near the hometown of this person of interest. They are known for trespassing on abandoned subway stations and underground tunnels to closed mental hospitals and decommissioned military bunkers. A man with the POI's name, specifically trespassed at Alcatraz prison, and is known for using old topographical maps that sometimes show locations that no longer appear on newer ones, and night-vision goggles, while picking locks, and dodging guards.
There is yet another, who has a blog that is severely critical of the U.S. federal government. He comes right out and calls current U.S president George W Bush a liar, and bares some likeness to our POI. Could it be the FBI drew some connection between one of them, and this man? If they did, is all this enough to give the FBI reason to hound this person of interest, and ruin his reputation in the course of the Annette Mizener investigation?
The account of this tragedy by the person of interest, points to Annette Mizener being murdered, the murderer walking free in another nation, and an innocent passenger being ruined in his community. It is only one possible scenario in this missing passenger case.
