The Murder of Marine Col James Sabow
#1
Soon to be a TV movie:

The following article in reference to Col. Sabow is very good information and background on the "murder" and coverup.
For those who have express interest in this case, I have been asked to post the following link to the article from May of 2008, as found in "CounterPunch. I have been asked by many to post the link:

".... On January 22, 1991, the wife
of Marine Corps Col. James
Sabow found him shot dead in
the backyard of their base housing unit at
the Marine Corps Air Station at El Toro,
California. Naval Investigators sent to
the death scene immediately pronounced
his death a suicide and just as quickly
notified Dr. David Sabow, the Colonel’s
brother, of their conclusion.
Any nonprofessional taking a first
look at the scene could easily come to
that same conclusion. Col. Sabow’s body,
in pajamas and bathrobe, was found
lying on his right side, with a lawn chair
perched on top of his body. The shotgun
that caused his death was lying under his
body. But these were not amateur inves-
tigators. The Navy had sent professional
crime scene investigators to inquire into
the death of Col. Sabow, but what these
professionals overlooked – whether de-
liberately or through incompetence – was
evidence that Col. Sabow had been blud-
geoned, after which a shotgun was placed
in his mouth by the killers, who pulled the
shotgun’s trigger, then arranged the body
to make it look like a suicide. Dr. Sabow
conducted his own investigation and
found from the autopsy records evidence
of a massive skull fracture over the right
ear, clearly showing that his brother had
been clubbed over the head, following
which the scene was arranged to make
it look like a suicide. Dr. Sabow shared
much of the critical autopsy findings with
competent university medical experts
who came to the same conclusion.
This more accurate evidence, as well
as additional findings and the conclu-
sions that followed, all came together fif-
teen years later, in 2005, when Dr. David
Sabow ultimately hired a forensic scien-
tist to re-examine the crime scene and
the evidence. What spurred Dr. Sabow’s
hiring of Bryan Burnett, the independent
forensic scientist, was the issuance of a
newly written report by Dr. Jon Nordby,
who had been hired by the Pentagon
under a mandate from Congress to re-in-
vestigate the killing.

Nordby’s investigation changed noth-
ing from the government’s point of view,
only confirming the earlier Pentagon
conclusion that, in the face of all evi-
dence to the contrary, Col. Sabow’s death
was suicide. However, using modern
scientific methods to re-enact what had
actually happened, Burnett concluded
that, without question, Col. Sabow, in-
deed, had been murdered. Burnett also
concluded from the crime scene evidence
that at least three people were involved
in the murder. These are conclusions the
Pentagon has been desperately trying to
avoid ever since Col. Sabow’s death.
Colonel James Sabow was a veteran
Marine Corps pilot who had survived
over 200 combat missions during the
Vietnam War, earning a Bronze Star for
valor. The colonel’s brother, Dr. David
Sabow, is a neurologist who has practiced
medicine in Rapid City, South Dakota,
for the last 25 years. As the Pentagon has
learned the hard way, he is someone who
is not easily deterred.
In his third year in college in 1961, Dr.
Sabow was injured in a water-skiing ac-
cident which rendered him a total quad-
riplegic. Since then, with a partial recov-
ery of some of his motor functions, he is
now able to move around in a motorized
wheelchair, which he has learned to navi-
gate with seemingly great ease.

Since that day in January 1991, when
the Naval investigators called to tell him
his brother committed suicide, Dr. Sabow
has spent many of his waking moments
gathering evidence to prove something
he knew instinctively – that his brother
would not have killed himself, and that
someone other than his brother had
fired the shotgun. His determination to
prove that it was murder and not suicide
has cost him his life savings, most of his
earnings, and, as a final blow, he is now
being forced to sell his home nestled in
the Black Hills of western South Dakota
to pay for the accumulated debts he has
incurred over the years. The burden that
the case has laid over him and his family
is one that is difficult to describe.
Dr. Sabow has lived in nearly per-
petual outrage, not only because of the
murder itself but also because of the 15-
year Pentagon cover-up. Military officials
have surpassed themselves in their efforts
to deny the charges that Col. Sabow was
murdered – denials which have only in-
creased Dr. Sabow’s resolve to prove otherwise.

In March of 1991, at the beginning of
the investigation, both Dr. Sabow and
Col. Sabow’s widow, Sally, were warned,
with threats of dire sanctions, by General
Adams that they should not speak to the
news media.....".
