Gary Caradori was an independent researcher hired to investigate the Franklin child prostitution ring. He carried out a number of interviews of victims and obtained such damning evidence that on 10 July 1990 - in a foreshadowing of a boast made decades later by Sunny Sheu - Caradori called his boss, Nebraska State Senator Loran Schmit, to inform him that they now had the subjects of their investigation "by the short hairs."[1] The next day however, he died when his plane broke up in flight. His personal effects were recovered, but the briefcase was lost.
Franklin Scandal
In November and December 1989, Caradori interviewed Alisha Owen, Troy Boner, and Danny King (no relation to Larry King), all in their early 20s. Owen was serving time in the Nebraska Center for Women at York for writing bad checks, while Boner and Danny King were living in the Omaha area. Caradori recorded their sworn testimony on over 20 hours of videotape, where they described being flown around the country as underage prostitutes and attending grotesquely sadistic paedophiliac orgies. Larry King, they said, had organized it all.[2] Caradori was former Law Enforcement, a trained Investigator and interviewer with such a high degree of credibility that he was employed by the Nebraska legislature.[3]
Assassination
Gary Caradori was killed when his small plane broke up in flight, strewing wreckage over a mile.[1] Two years after the event, the National Transportation Safety Board stated that the wings of Caradori's plane had been snapped off due to stress. His personal effects were returned to his widow, but not the briefcase in which he kept the results of his investigation - that went missing.[4]
Media Depiction
After his death, the commercially-controlled media tried to paint the man as a “crank” who “badgered witnesses” towards a “predestined conclusion”. GQ magazine wrote a story after he was dead that described him as a “delusional investigator.”[3]
Consequences
Caradori's murder probably silenced several potential witnesses, but inspired Troy Boner to recant his original recantation, and give an interview for Conspiracy of Silence, an investigative documentary into the Franklin child prostitution ring which was made but never broadcast.[5]
Legacy
Some of the video interviews carried out by Gary Caradori survived him and have found their way onto YouTube.[3]
