Writer John Connolly cast suspicion on the relationship between Bill Hamilton and Robert Booth Nichols: "...despite Hamilton's reservations about Nichols’ char- acter, the man who designed a program for tracking criminals and the man who has been linked by the FBI to two crime organizations communicate with surpris- ing frequency. Last summer I visited Hamilton's office in Washington to get a copy of the phone records that would show his call to Nichols on August 9, 1991. He seemed reluctant. It took a fair amount of persuasion to convince him to turn it over—and what he gave me was a photocopy with all but that call blocked out. Shortly after leaving, I remembered that I had wanted to ask him something else and returned to his office. While I was waiting in the reception area, the phone rang. The receptionist buzzed Hamilton: ‘Robert Booth Nichols, returning your call.’ When I asked Hamilton about the call, he replied, 'I call Nichols all the time. It was just a coincidence that it was right after you left." * Gable "without the ears", Ridgeway and Vaughan, ibid. = Corn, David, "The Dark World of Danny Casolaro", The Nation, 28 October 1991. * Ridgeway and Vaughan, p. 36.

It should be noted that the medical examination of Danny Casolaro's body indicat- ed a scar on his hairline. A year and a half before his death, a friend had found Casolaro with a bloody towel wrapped around his head. Casolaro claimed that bar- bells had hit him while he was exercising. Ridgeway and Vaughan suggested it might have been due to motor impairment caused by undiagnosed multiple scle- rosis. ® Ridgeway and Vaughan, ibid. “ibid. * Casolaro's notes.
