Transcripts

SPEAKER: The prevailing story now is that they were killed with a grease gun, a 45 caliber grease gun. And as you know, the early stories are totally false, that they were involved in serving warrants on a house in Oglala, and that they were executed in gangland style, and their bodies were stripped, and they were left lying virtually nude from the waist up on a little road off Highway 18.

I spoke to the Washington Post reporter who got the admission from Janklow that there are tape recordings of the radio transmissions between the two FBI agents, both of whom were in different cars, and the FBI main office on the reservation as to a red pickup truck.

The tapes apparently show that the FBI agents said that someone in the red pickup truck, we want to get someone who may be wanted on a warrant, and they were requested permission to chase the red pickup truck. Those of you that sat through the trial here in St. Paul remember that there was a van on the reservation where agent Curtis Fitzgerald and another agent requested permission to chase the van, and there was an exchange of gunfire, and Fitzgerald was shot in the hand. This looks at first blush from what we know as something quite like that situation.
