TWA FLIGHT 800 is a thought-provoking, 90-minute documentary about TWA Flight 800 to Paris, which exploded on July 17, 1996, just 12 minutes after takeoff from JFK International Airport, killing all 230 people on board. The film features six former members of the official crash investigation who break their silence to refute the officially proposed cause of the jetliner’s demise and reveal how the investigation was systematically undermined.
TWA FLIGHT 800 was written, directed, and produced by Emmy Award-winning journalist Kristina Borjesson. Coproducer Tom Stalcup, who holds a Ph.D. in physics and led the film’s investigation, spent 16 years delving deeper into the original investigation in order to seek truth and closure for the family members of the victims of this tragedy. In addition to the compelling testimonies of many of the eyewitnesses to the downing of the jetliner, the documentary features interviews with key members of the original TWA 800 Investigation team. These whistle-blowers include:
• Hank Hughes, Senior Accident Investigator, National Transportation Safety Board, who laid out the matrix for the reconstruction of the entire aircraft and was chairman of the Airplane Interior Documentation Group that reconstructed TWA 800’s interior.
• Bob Young, Senior Accident Investigator, TWA, who oversaw TWA team members of virtually all the investigative groups associated with the crash and was himself a member of the Eyewitness Group.
• Jim Speer, Accident Investigator for Airline Pilots Association, who sifted through much of the physical evidence in the hangar and found first explosives residue “who sifted through much of the physical evidence and was the first to find evidence of explosives on the right wing.”
• Rocky Miller, Accident Investigator for Flight Attendants Union, who worked in the hangar with Hank Hughes and also worked on Splatter Group.
• Dr. Charles Wetli, Chief Medical Examiner, TWA 800, who was in charge of crash victim autopsies and identification.
• Col. Dennis Shanahan, M.D., Senior Medical Forensics Medical Consultant, TWA 800 Investigation, who correlated injuries to plane damage.
After seeing the evidence presented in this revealing documentary, the parallels can be readily drawn between the cover-up operations of 9/11, political assassinations, and other State Crimes Against Democracy, which have all been shrouded in denials and controversy. Viewing this enlightening film helps us to see through the veil and further understand the mechanisms that the government uses to create and sustain its “official” narratives.
Similar to what it published about 9/11, Popular Mechanics published a propaganda article entitled, “3 Reasons to Doubt the TWA Flight 800 Conspiracy Theory” in order to distort the evidence and discredit the eyewitnesses. The Popular Mechanics article sounds somewhat “scientific” and “conclusive,” but it fails to mention the following evidence:
• Explosive residues were found on pieces of the wreckage.
• Key pieces of the aircraft were removed from the hangar and subsequently disappeared.
• FBI agents had been observed altering some of the evidence in the hangar.
• The nose-wheel gear door was blown INWARD, shredding the tires and wrecking the cockpit.
• The debris field was altered by the FBI by their “locating” (re-locating) key parts of the plane miles away from where they were actually found.
• Multiple eyewitnesses saw a bright object (like a flare or fireworks) streaking up from the surface of the ocean into the sky leaving a white smoke trail, and then a bright white explosion(s) (ordinance), followed by a bright orange fireball explosion (fuel explosion).
• The FBI refused to release its hundreds of reports of interviews with eyewitnesses who told them what they saw.
• The FBI prevented the witnesses from testifying at the NTSB public hearing in 1997.
The events related to TWA Flight 800 are another example of how key evidence can be suppressed and kept from the public. This film is another wake-up call. Indeed, every American needs to see this film.
Please join us for this very informative and thought-provoking documentary.

Serial killer identified 4 years after his death
Jun 10th
Case Summary
On July 1, 1982, several fishermen discovered the decomposing body of a female in a ravine near the 32,000 block of Boulder Canyon Drive in unincorporated Boulder County. Investigators found that the victim, 20 year-old Susan Becker, had sustained 13 stab wounds to her torso and neck and died from her injuries. A black handled knife, believed to have belonged to Ms. Becker was found near her right hand; it was later determined that the knife had not caused the wounds to Ms. Becker. The body was clothed at the time that it was discovered and was covered with a towel, presumably placed there by her assailant. Some of Ms. Becker’s personal effects were found in a day pack with the body.
Ms. Becker was raised in the Boulder area and frequently spent time in Boulder Canyon sunbathing. She was last seen in Boulder by a friend sometime during the morning of June 20, 1982.
At the time, Sheriff’s detectives were unable to identify a suspect in Ms. Becker’s death. Mr. John Agrue figured as a person of interest in the investigation, however, declined to cooperate with investigators. His extended family was interviewed by detectives, and statements indicating that Agrue had hiked in the area where Becker’s body was found were provided, however, there was not enough evidence to link him to Ms. Becker’s murder.
John Agrue had been previously convicted in the 1966 murder of his 14 year old sister-in-law, Susan Marino, in Illinois He was paroled in January 1982 after serving 16 years of a 20-50 year indeterminate sentence and moved to Boulder, and then to Longmont shortly thereafter.
On July 9, 1982, 94-year-old Orma Smith’s body was found in the Big Elks Meadows area, south of Estes Park, Colorado. Ms. Smith resided in Longmont; John Agrue was her neighbor at the time of her death. Larimer County Sheriff’s investigators were unable to link him to Ms. Smith’s murder at the time.
On July 15, 1982, Agrue attempted to abduct a 26 year-old female student at knife point while she was starting her car on the University of Colorado Campus in Boulder. The student was able to flag down a passing University employee who rendered assistance. Agrue was arrested and convicted of the crime.
After serving his sentence in the Colorado Department of Corrections for the attempted abduction, Agrue was returned to Illinois in 1984 to complete his sentence for the murder of his sister in law, his parole having been revoked following his conviction in Colorado. After his release in 1989, he lived in Illinois, where he died in 2009 after an accidental drug overdose. Subsequent to his death, relatives discovered numerous women’s purses, jewelry, and other effects in his home, along with newspaper articles about the attempted abduction of the 26 year-old female, the Smith homicide, and Becker homicide.
In June 2010, the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office announced that advances in DNA evidence and comparison (a technology unavailable in 1982) definitively linked Argue to Orma Smith’s murder. Boulder County investigators, working with Larimer County and Illinois law enforcement officials,
re-evaluated Agrue’s potential involvement in Ms. Becker’s death.
There were a number of similarities in the three homicides and the attempted abduction: three of the four involved young women (Ms. Smith being the exception), their purses or personal effects were taken by the suspect, and all involved the use of a knife. The three homicide victims died from multiple stab wounds inflicted upon the same area of the body; Ms. Marino’s ,Ms. Becker’s and Mrs. Smith’s bodies were found in or near mountain streams.
The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office recruited the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigations Behavioral Analysis Unit, presenting them with the case facts from the four investigations. Upon review, the FBI’s experts concluded that it was highly probable that Mr. Agrue was responsible for Susan Becker’s murder. Detectives shared the case facts and the FBI experts’ opinions with the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office and solicited their opinion. They agreed that there was probable cause to believe that Mr. Agrue was responsible for Susan Becker’s death and, that if he were still alive, they would pursue murder charges against him.
The FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit is also investigating the potential of Mr. Agrue having been involved in other homicides as a serial killer.

Pipe Bomb at Centaurus High School Suspect Arrested
May 14th
Centaurus High School was placed on lockdown. Students were safely evacuated and transferred to nearby Ryan Elementary School.
Upon arriving on scene the responding Lafayette officers recognized the device to possibly be a pipe bomb and requested assistance from the Boulder County Bomb Squad. The FBI was also contacted and responded to the scene to assist with the investigation. The Boulder County Bomb Squad was able to render the device safe and recovered valuable evidence.
Bomb dogs and their handlers from around the metro area responded to the scene and by 2100 hours had completed searches of the school and the parking lot, including student vehicles that had been left behind when the school was evacuated. No other devices were located, all evidence indicated there were no additional threats to Centaurus High School and the area was determined safe. Students can respond to the school and pick up their vehicles at their convenience.
Due to the response and assistance of the Boulder County Bomb Squad, the FBI, the ATF and all other metro agencies who responded to the scene, the Lafayette Police Department identified a male Centaurus student as a person of interest.
Investigators worked throughout the night and arrested a 16 year old male Centaurus student in conjunction with the explosive device found at Centaurus High School. The juvenile male was located at his residence in Boulder County. Investigators searched the residence and located additional evidence. There is no known motive at this time, however the investigation is on-going.
The juvenile suspect has been arrested on the following charges:
1. Possession of Explosive/Incendiary Parts, 18-12-109(6), Class 4 Felony (for items found at the house), 2 Counts
2. Felony Menacing, 18-3-206, Class 5 Felony.
3. Interference of Educational Institution-Credible Threat w/Deadly Weapon, 18-9-109, Class 1 Misdemeanor.
Due to this being a juvenile suspect and an active investigation there will be no further information, press releases or interviews released by the Lafayette Police Department.
