Police Reports and Trial Testimony Prove DNA was Planted!

All the DNA in this investigation is Y DNA. (This is with exception to the Lara 2007 sexual assault trial, but that was a match of 3 out of 13 genetic markers; too low to even make an arrest.) Y DNA can only identify male family lineages, as testified to at trial. Also, as testified at trial, unrelated males share identical Y DNA profile (matches). So Y DNA cannot and does not point to a single person; therefore an arrest cannot be made.

The only case in this investigation that had the individual, discriminating STR DNA was in the Sophie Nunez homicide. Lorraine Heath, DPS DNA technician, testified that the partial STR DNA profile swabbed from Nunez’s breast was consistent to 9 of Mark’s genetic markers.

Here’s where it gets interesting. Two State witnesses testified at trial that ALL swabs in the Nunez case were placed in a drying room, and then dry paper packaged, including the 2 breast swabs. Police reports also state these same facts. 

Yet, when Heath took the stand, she testified that the 2 breast swabs were wet and sealed in a baggie in a glass tube. And these are the swabs that have the partial STR profile that match Mark at 9 loci (genetic markers).

I’ll now ask the obvious: How did these 2 swabs which were entered into evidence dry, change to wet? Packaged completely differently?

Whoever switched these swabs knew nothing about the DNA drying process, but did know that Nunez was submerged in a tub of water, so they planted wet swabs.

Tampered, switched, changed, whatever you want to call it, it is yet another indicative statement how this investigation in its entirety was done – with collusion and intimidation and corruption and racism.

Lunch Truck and Prostitute Homicides - Update 8.26.11

Bald Face Lying Prosecutors Susanne Cohen and Patricia Stevens (Gumby and Pokey)

Seriously, it’s no wonder witnesses lie on the stand. Fortunately, those that do lie have all been impeached, always reminded and shown their original, contradicting statements documented in the police reports. But with such unethical prosecutors like Gumby and Pokey, the lying is encouraged, regardless of the known impeachment outcome, and sometimes victims and witnesses are even paid to lie. Just ask Lorena and Alejandra Lara, the two assault victims from the 2007 trial, who received $1,100 a month for an ENTIRE YEAR. A lot of money for a couple of women here illegally, working fast food.

Here’s the latest lies, err, updates from the trial. Gumby (Cohen) makes the bold statement to the judge that Mark knew the two women who were murdered in a lunch truck. She even marched one of Mark’s former managers up to the stand, Dave Diaz, who offered absolutely no connection between Mark and the two women or their lunch truck. Here’s what was brought out during his testimony:

• Mark worked a good 40 miles away from the lower Buckeye homicide, near Lake Pleasant in the far away northwest part of the Valley.
• Mark never purchased food from any lunch truck since he always brought his lunch and drinks from home. (I can confirm packing Mark’s lunch up for him on many occasions.)
• Mark never has spoken or ever seen these women, ever.
• Had Dave Diaz EVER said Mark knew these women it would have been done at an interview with both prosecutors and Mark’s attorneys present. I can tell you for fact, that interview never happened. This is just another instance of Gumby’s absurd lying.
• And here’s a side note, the indictment to get Mark charged stated that a red truck was parked by the lunch wagon the day of the crime. Never mind the small detail that Mark didn’t even own the truck at the time of this crime.

Monday, 8/29, begins with opening arguments on the murder of prostitute, Nicole Gibbons, whose body was found near 24th Street and Oak. Gumby has already started with her grandiose spin of fictional tales stating to the judge that Gibbon’s “co-worker” another prostitute, said the last time she saw Gibbons she was getting into a red truck.

• I just read her “co-worker’s” interview with the police and she says the last time she saw Gibbons, Gibbons was walking down Oak to 32nd Street. No mention whatsoever of getting into a red truck.
• The “co-worker” also stated they serviced Hispanic men only, not Blacks.
• The “co-worker” does describe one incident where they were picked up by two Hispanic men in a beige van who held a gun on them.
• And that Gibbons told her, right before her death, she was beat up by two Hispanic men who drove a truck.
• And again, no interview was ever conducted with this “co-worker.” 
• She never said Gibbons was picked up by someone in a red truck.
• Mark my words, this "co-worker" won't be taking the stand.
• Again, the indictment, of which Mark was charged, gives the impression Gibbons was beat up by two Black men.  False information.

Trial update - 7.5.11

DNA Hocus Pocus - Lorraine Heath

Lorraine Heath, crooked DPS DNA analyst who claims her results often were that Mark could not be excluded (never a match) and who said the chances of the DNA in the Lara case (2007 trial) being anyone else’s other than Mark’s was like 340 trillion, or some ridiculous number. Based on her work and nothing else, Mark was arrested. According to idiot detective Mike Polombo, she informed police the DNA was “an absolute match to Mark.”

The likelihood ratio calculations in Mark’s case are based on two DNA databases, the Y (paternal) and STR (more discriminating individual DNA). At the trial last week Heath was forced to admit that the Y DNA database now includes two other Y male profiles IDENTICAL TO MARK’S. These are UNRELATED males, not from the Goudeau paternal line. One is African American, the other Caucasian.

And there are less than 600 profiles in the Y database -and this database will continue to grow! How many more unrelated males will end up in this database whose profiles match Mark’s. How many unrated male matches are there in this Valley? State? Country? . . who will never end up in the database?

The likelihood ratio calculations are nothing but junk science; hocus pocus crap to confuse the general public who have no idea of all the variables and believe DNA is the magic bullet in identifying suspects.

There are also several (most) DNA results of which Mark is EXCLUDED. But we’ll learn more about that later in trial when she returns.


All and Every Men’s Shoes

Sergeant Mike Polombo took the stand a couple of weeks ago since he was in charge of the searches of our home. I can’t be there and report things first hand, but I am told by others who are there that Polombo was nervous and rambling. He tried to distance himself from the event and facts and even said he was only in the living room, when in fact he had overall responsibility for the search of our home and was likely in every room as he delegated and oversaw assignments.

You may recall that on the FOURTH search of our small home is when they “found” a victim’s ring, completely void of any DNA, in one of Mark’s shoes. On the SECOND search (or FIRST with a warrant) Polombo’s warrant directives were to seize ALL AND EVERY MEN’S SHOES. Oops. Looks like he missed the one men’s shoe out in the open with a baggie of jewelry in it.

If you want to read more about this loser and what little regard Phoenix police officers hold for him, you can at badphoenixcop’s blogspot.  You can use the blogger’s search engine and enter keyword Polombo if you want to read past posts about this creep. There are tons of comments. Warning, the badphoenixcops blogger  and commenters are lewd and much of the language will be offense to many of you.

Here’s another post about Polombo being under investigation.

People Who Lie on the Stand

If you’ve not heard this already, not a single victim has picked Mark out of a photo lineup. Not one person. Most pick out someone else, or say they didn’t get a good look, or simply can no longer remember the face of the suspect.

However, there are some who think it is ok to take an oath not to lie, and then lie on the stand. One guy who was working at a Little Caesar’s during a robbery said he could recognize the robber, although he never told police that. He tried to size up Mark sitting there in court. He said the robber was 6’3” and 250 lbs. Mark is not nearly that tall and about 50 lbs lighter. This guy, who never gave a suspect description to the reporting officer, was impeached on the stand by Mark’s attorney, Randall Craig. It’s just amazing that some schmuck who makes a living working at Little Caesars thinks he’s going to outwit an experienced trial attorney.

Even the jurors asked if these people know that their original statements to police are being used at the trial.

Trial resumes tomorrow.

Exonerating Evidence to Mark Covered Up by PPD and Andrew Thomas

If you’re new to this blog or just missed it, here’s a Dec 2010, 6-page letter from Officer Rusty Stuart via his attorney. The letter is to County Attorney, Rick Romley, asking for protection from Phoenix Police Department. Certain folks at PPD have gone out of their way to harm Stuart due to his investigation of Terry Wayne Smith and repeated attempts to get someone on the Baseline task force to pay attention. Officer Stuart, a PPD veteran, also has new information tying Smith to another Baseline victim.

Stuart's letter to Romley begins “Recently my client has discovered new information regarding Terry Smith that may be exculpatory in nature as it pertains to the case against Mark Goudeau."

July 18, 2010 UPDATE

It's been a while since I've posted anything on the case, so here's the latest.

First, Alex Femenia, the lead dic on the Baseline task force, retired from PPD, but currently employed at the County Attorneys office to work full time on the prosecution of Mark, and yes he is double dipping with a pension and salary. Femenia and prosecutors have won a motion to consume yet more DNA. Four years after Mark's arrest. FOUR YEARS. This is not only an attempt to cover their tracks by consuming (destroying) what ever physical evidence is left, but an act of desperation. Continue reading to learn more. . .

Secondly, last Tuesday, July 13, mine and Mark's house was burglarized. Both personal and work computers and a deactivated cell phone were stolen. That afternoon I was contacted by blogger Jeff. Jeff is one of the bloggers of badphoenixcops.blogspot.com, a blog where good cops can anonymously post information on bad cops and corruptions. The blog has been invaluable with posts from PPD cops about cover ups and mishandling of evidence by lead BK task team dics, Alex Femania, Mike Polombo, and Mike Meishish. PPD has even unsuccessfully tried to shut down the blog by searching Jeff's house, indicting and charging him. (All charges have been dismissed by a judge.)

Back to the burglary. That afternoon after our house was burglarized, Jeff received at least four phone calls from current PPD officers who told Jeff the burglary was staged and done by PPD in a desperate attempt to get "information." Hence cell phone and computers were taken. No VCRs or TVs stolen. Other things were done to make it appear as a burglary i.e. bedroom drawers were each opened a couple of inches with clothing tugged on, if you will. The clothing and items in the drawers were not disturbed at all. Also two bowls of crappy beaded jewelry were taken, along with two pieces of jewelry that were heirlooms from my grandmother.

One of the offices that called Jeff that afternoon said that it was with 100% certainty that the burglary was done by PPD in a desperate attempt to find anything that would help them, that they're very concerned of a mistrial.

You can read more about the facts at badphoenixcops.blogspot.com. You'll notice the pics on the badphoenixcops blog include potato's. Here's why: The three primary corrupt dics on the Baseline task team - Femenia, Meishlish and Polombo are disliked by most cops at PPD. Polombo is referred to as Mr. Potato Head and his wife, Heather, as Mrs Potato Head. If you've seen Polombo you know why.

As for Mark, he is angry and concerned about my safety - god only knows what these desperate goons will do - but he is his usual strong self.

Stay tuned.
