I have gone to the FBI with a lot more information than I am giving here but have the feeling they are not interested enough to put much stock in my story and probably consider the case closed.

I am not going to give up though, until I find somebody who is willing to listen to me, if it's the last thing I do. For I am sure Mooney is their man as I am sure that this is a typewriter I am writin this on. Someday the truth will come out and my story will be vindica because I know I am telling the truth.
