DATE COINCIDENCE

(Excerpted from a briefing of 27 April 1972.)

What you do on ethics investigations is look for date coincidence, date
coincidence, date coincidence, date coincidence; name cross-reference, name cross-
reference, name cross-reference, name cross-reference, name cross-reference; date
coincidence, date coincidence, date coincidence. That is about all you would do when
you are looking over records. That is an investigation on records.

Bessy Lou was found strangled in the swamp and date coincidence, date
coincidence, date coincidence, date coincidence. We find her ex-husband reported into
the Swaberboo Hotel two days before she was strangled in the swamp and left three
days afterwards. That is enough for the bulls. There's a date coincidence there.

They can be dead-wrong because they haven't now got the name and that is an
intelligence action that is seldom done by the police. So if you combine intelligence
and other investigatory techs, you generally come up with lots of answers. Just count
how many times does somebody's name appear.
