I am Dylann Roofs Gay Black Lover: he did what he did because I broke up with him
I am Dylann Roofs Gay Black Lover: he did what he did because I broke up with him
Anonymous
The following letter was written by Dylann Roofs former lover. He approached us, hoping to shed some light on the situation and we decided to give him a platform.
When I heard of a shooting in Charleston I knew it was Dylann – there was not a doubt in my mind. We had ended it the night before and I guess that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. He was heartbroken when I told him I needed to take a break. He slapped me, called me an N-word and shouted that I and “my people” would pay – hours later 9 black people lay dead in a Charleston church.

He slapped me, called me an N-word and shouted that I and “my people” would pay – hours later 9 black people lay dead in a Charleston church.
Since the 17th of June, media has speculated as to Dylann’s motives for carrying out this attack, but they haven’t really addressed what triggered it all. As his African American ex-boyfriend, I know that Dylann is fighting an internal battle, on the one hand, he was into White Supremacy, Apartheid and starting a Race War, on the other hand, he snuggled up with a black gay guy every night. Dylann is a walking contradiction who has some horrible demons inside of him that have now been released into the world.
I met Dylann last summer at a party. We talked about fishing and guns and drank all night. I felt a strong attraction for him but I didn’t think he was gay at all, he had this macho way of speaking and knowing that he was a big of a racist, I wrongly thought that a LGBT person couldn’t possibly have such views. He didn’t seem to have a problem with me being black, despite wearing a Rhodesian flag jacket. So anyway, after we had met a few more times a parties, we got closer, and I could begin to sense that he was reciprocating my advances – I was so happy. After about a month after meeting we were officially an item, I say officially, but the arrangement was of course a secret one. We would lay in bed and he would start explaining to me the natural order of the human races and talk of how the South African Apartheid was great. He seemed to forget that he was laying there, naked, next to a black guy, and would passionately rant about race relations until dawn. I kind of accepted it because I liked that passion in him and I didn’t really care about what he thought about black people as long as he loved me.
I’m the one who took all those posing pictures. He said he wanted to use them for this manifesto website, where he would write down his politics and display pictures of himself. He never said anything about carrying out an attack; I got the impression rather, that he would start a White Power-type group here in South Carolina and use the manifesto to establish his beliefs. I think he would have been a good leader, I called him “Mini-Hitler” sometimes because he would speak with such force. Now after seeing what he has done, I should have realized that the manifesto was very suspicious. I just believed him to be too good hearted to hurt anyone.

Now after seeing what he has done, I should have realized that the manifesto was very suspicious. I just believed him to be too good hearted to hurt anyone.
About a month ago my feelings for Dylann became tepid. He was getting increasingly radical and I think he was disgusted at himself for leading this double life, sleeping with a black man, while trying to keep whites and blacks apart. He hadn’t accepted that he was gay either, and that was something he struggled with on a daily basis.
On evening of June 16th, I broke up with Dylann. He was devastated. He hit me, called me names and before he left, he shouted “You’re going to pay for this, you and your people are going to pay for this”
What Dylann did was inexcusable. I hate him for it. I will probably always hate him for it. I can’t believe I didn’t see the signs earlier. I could have stopped it all. I guess I just saw him as a rebellious youth like myself. But America needs to know that what he did was no cold and calculated, he did it because he had a broken heart and wanted to have revenge on me for breaking up with him. I am choosing to come out with this story to the media because I believe Dylann needs to be presented in an authentic light despite the atrocities he committed.

New videos reveal celestial s helping humanity with extraterrestrial technology
Celestials and Preparing for Extraterrestrial Contact from Michael Salla on Vimeo.
Official disclosure of extraterrestrial life is imminent
An official announcement by the Obama administration disclosing the reality of extraterrestrial life is imminent. For several months, senior administration officials have been quietly deliberating behind closed doors how much to disclose to the world about extraterrestrial life. Dissatisfaction among powerful institutions such as the U.S. Navy over the decades-long secrecy policy has given a boost to efforts to disclose the reality of extraterrestrial life and technology. Another source is David Wilcock, a prominent researcher of emerging scientific paradigms. Wilcock has been told by additional independent sources that extraterrestrial disclosure will take place by the end of 2009. He furthermore claimed in a Coast to Coast AM radio interview that "a 2-hour international TV special has already been booked that will introduce an alien species, similar to humans, to the world." *** Further Reading: Is Obama Nobel Peace Prize prelude to extraterrestrial disclosure?

Bruce Carlton Jordan and Jason Wetherington
| Broward Tipster" <broward.tipster@gmail.com> To: broward.tipster@gmail.com I received the following message from a friend who received it on Facebook. You may wish to forward it to others who may have been close to Jason. The forwarded message begins here: ----------------------------------- Now Bruce Carlton Jordan and Jason Wetherington have more than just Charlie in common...THEY'RE BOTH FELONS! Check out the following message that's been circulating on Facebook about Jason. It was sent by none other than Jennifer Thompson Jones and Taylor Thompson Royle (the daughter's of First Baptist Church's Senior Pastor Dr. Larry Thompson). At first, I thought it was just gossip...then, I looked at the Clerk of Court's website and found case number: 09014529CF10A. Subject: Taylor Royle sent you a message on Facebook... Reply-To: noreply <noreply@facebookmail.com>
-------------------- Please read this important message: Hello. This is a strange and difficult e-mail for me to write. I apologize it's through facebook but it was the easiest way for me to get in contact with most of you. I want to begin by letting you know I do not write this to defame or gossip, I am writing this out of concern for those who could potentially be hurt as I and my family have been. As many of you saw and expressed concern, I had a very difficult time earlier this week. All of you know that my marriage was ended this year by Mason. I have lost my husband, my home, all my friends in TX and a life that I had many dreams about. My wedding ring and my beautiful son are really the only two signifigant pieces of my marriage I had left (not that I am comparing Strong to a ring :) but there is a very large sentimental value in my ring) Also, as a single mom I was holding on to the ring in case there was ever a time when I may need to sell it to help support Strong and I. This week I found out my engagement and wedding ring were stolen. I won't go into all the details but eventually Jason Wetherington confessed to stealing my ring and selling it as well as stealing $5000 from my parents safe, and stealing from many other people who I do not have the right to share. Jason clearly has serious problems that go beyond substance abuse which does not stop with his friendships. He expressed to me that he feels better by hurting those who have helped him and supported him. I am pressing felony charges against Jason. As a counselor I recognize the reality of continuing to help someone who never has to face any consequences. I can not be an enabler to Jason. I pray for Jason and I hope that he gets the help he needs. As Jason has expressed no remorse for taking from those who care about him, I felt it was appropriate for me to let you know as his friends to be cautious of how you open yourself up to him. Jen ------------------------ Clearly, Charlie has a thing for the bad boys.....

Trent Lott Being Outed By Larry Flynt?
This post, written by GottaLaff, originally appeared on Cliff Schecter's Brave New Films Blog
I've always been called fair-minded, so I'll post the update first:
It looks like a Washington DC-based blog called BigHeadDC is making claim that there was (or, is) a working relationship between myself and Senator Trent Lott. There are falsely pieced-together quotes that serve no purposeother than to sensationalize a completely fabricated scoop.
I will continue to offer a great sense of confidentiality to the people I see. I have not, nor have I ever seen or had contact with Senator Trent Lott. It's as simple as that. It never happened.
Benjamin Nicholas
What's up with that, Benjamin?
Now here's the allegation, via Daily Kos' lost (the BigHeadDC site is down due to traffic):
According to the post:
Once upon a time, there was a twentysomething boy-next-door type with reddish blond hair and a brilliantly white smile. Not one to shy away from attention, he wrote a blog called "Fifteen Minutes," and also became a freelance writer for various publications, including The Stranger in Seattle. He'd often focus on his non-traditional lifestyle as a gay male escort -- a topic that often fascinated his readers, which, in turn, helped him to garner a substantial amount of powerful business acquaintances through the years.
The boy happens to be real, and his "stage name" is Benjamin Nicholas. One of the politicos Big Head DC has learned he's alleged to have been involved with is the married Sen. Trent Lott, 66, who unexpectedly announced his retirement on Monday. Lott is well-known to have been against a plethora of gay rights issues throughout his terms in Congress. He was also good friends with Sen. Larry Craig throughout his time in Congress.
Nicholas told Big Head DC today via e-mail that he didn't want to go on the record to talk about his dealings with Lott, because, said Nicholas, "Trent is going through his fair share of scrutiny right now and I don't want to add to it." However, e-mail and other records confirm that the two have met on at least two occasions.
"All I can say at this point is no comment," Nicholas told us. "It's the professional thing for me to do."
It's speculated that Larry Flynt is working on the story. But Flynt will not comment on it.
Paddy posted on some Trent Lott/Larry Flynt speculation earlier, and I posted the original Larry Flynt story as well.
Could this be it? Not according to Nicholas. But how does that explain the email and other records.... ?
Stay tuned.

Giuliani Comes To Aid Of Accused Child Molester
From ABC News:Presidential candidate Rudolph Giuliani hired a Catholic priest to work in his consulting firm months after the priest was accused of sexually molesting two former students and an altar boy and told by the church to stop performing his priestly duties.The priest, Monsignor Alan Placa, a longtime friend of Giuliani and the priest who officiated at his second wedding to Donna Hanover, continues to work at Giuliani Partners in New York, to the outrage of some of his accusers and victims' groups, which have begun to protest at Giuliani campaign events.

At a campaign appearance in Milwaukee last week, Giuliani continued to defend Placa, who he described to reporters as a close friend for 39 years.

Sen. Mitch McConnell Behind Terrorizing 12 Year Old
Mounting evidence suggests that the right-wing smear campaign may have been orchestrated by a staffer in Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) office.
First, ABC News reported earlier this week that a staffer in Sen. Harry Reid's (D-NV) office received an email that was not intended for him. The email from a "Senate Republican leadership aide" showed the minority leader's office was intently tracking the smear campaign well before it had gained widespread attention.

Christy Hardin Smith writes, "Is anyone in the media going to actually dig into this and find out how involved the McConnell oppo shop has been in all of this?"
Republican congressional offices say they had nothing to do with the investigative reporting work of the conservative bloggers. But at the same time, they did nothing to distance themselves from the byproduct of that work. 'We're clearly going to promote the truth and show Democrats didn't do their research' into whether the Frost family should be receiving subsidized health care, said one Senate GOP aide. 'We're going to ride this story.'"

Just Rumors The Rumor Mills
Mitt Romney's communist connection
Most Americans probably are not intimately familiar with Huawei (pronounced "Wa-way," as if Gilda Radner of Saturday Night Live fame were asked to pronounce the name). The company's founder, Ren Zhengfei is a former officer of the People's Liberation Army.
Tough to know what to make of that. When it comes to speaking with the press, Ren is a regular Greta Garbo. A mini-profile Forbes ran three years ago noted that many of Huawei's major customers are state-run businesses in China. And while Ren owns 1 percent of the company, the rest belongs to an unidentified "union."
Go figure.
Meanwhile, Ren has gone about building Huawei into a success story disregarding the usual corporate niceties. In 2000--three years before the WMD craze got us all nutso about taking out Saddam--the CIA accused Huawei of secretly selling a communications system to Iraq. In the final report of the Iraq Survey Group, Huawei and two other Chinese companies were singled out for carrying out "extensive work in and around Baghdad"--mainly telecommunication switches and the installation of fiber-optic cable.
Then in 2003, Cisco socked Huawei with a patent infringement lawsuit. Cisco claimed Huawei ripped off its intellectual property to make a lineup of routers and switches. Huawei denied the allegations though in the end caved.
But if at all possible, business doesn't let politics intrude. So it is that Friday we learned that Bain Capital is paying $2.2 billion to acquire 3Com. Part of the deal involves China's Huawei Technologies, which will acquire a minority stake in 3Com.
And, oh, by the way, Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor running for the Republican presidential nomination--he headed Bain Capital for 14 years.
Six degrees of separation. In this case only 2--but who's counting.
I wonder whether a future President Romney might have commented on Huawei figuring in a major U.S. tech acquisition. I'm darned sure candidate Romney has since turned off his cell
phone for an early start to the weekend.

Rep. McHenry, Soon To Be Outed
If last week and the week before weren't bad enough for 10th District disgrace Pat McHenry, now a national and highly respected blogger Pam Spaulding has turned her internet attention to McHenry's involvement in the bizarrely underreported Florida murder suicide.She's written the best overview yet and crossposted it at Americablog.What with this last week's extreme DUI of his Deputy Field Director Brett Keeter. Then the subsequent two-week suspension without pay. But as MissM points out at BlueNC, why not wait until a verdict? Innocent until proven guilty and all that American patriotic stuff.I wondered if a 31-year-old blows a point one three perhaps he should be fired. It's not like it's the first overindulgence of a young man, new to college or trying to recover from his first big break-up. But Robert P and lcloud at BlueNC make the find points that McHenry should be helping this guy get the therapy he needs. That we as democrats might want to practice what we preach and think in terms of rehabilitation. Good ideas, if we were dealing with people who could consider that others can change and improve. That, of course is the obvious solution. Just not likely.Then, we have to look at the week before last, which might have led to this overindulgence of mind-altering substances in a staffer.The week before last you learned that Pat might not live where he votes. That's potentially the fourth case voter fraud he's been tied to. And over the weekend, McHenry spokesman Aaron Latham tried to put that pesky old voter fraud/residency question to rest. Latham told the Gaston Gazette's Amanda Millard that Pat "lives in Cherryville. That's still his primary residence." But, he told her, McHenry splits his time between Cherryville and Hickory when he comes home on weekends. Boy, Pat, that's a lot of splitting. You live in DC, you split your weekend time between Cherryville and Hickory. You own the Hickory condo but your legal residence for voting is a house in Cherryville you don't own and that other people use. I wonder what the North Carolina laws regard as a legal residence. We'll have to find out.And the one question still unanswered: how'd you get that financing for the Hickory condo. Since you're on the House banking committee, I think your banking deals (especially ones you've been trying to cover up) should be public record. After all, you were all excited about disclosing the people behind earmarks. What about disclosing the financing deal on an asset you haven't told anyone about. Because if the Hickory condo was your legal residence and as Latham told Millard, it's been this way for some time, you had plenty of time to update your bio and your website to say you live in Cherryville AND Hickory, not just Cherryville.
There are a lot of reports from the week before last that still have not been cleared up. Like Pat's involvement with recent murder victim Ralph Gonzalez of Florida and Georgia ethics issues (including ties to Jack Abramoff and vote manipulation. But the North Carolina Conservative told us that not only McHenry was also tied to Jason Drake, who police say was the shooter.People have commented extensively on this website and elsewhere that Drake's ties to a gay porn murder in Pennsylvania have only one source.
That source has a lot of people who hate him OR he's a lying, website-destroyer.Either way, these questions are not dependent on tying Drake to other murders and the porn industry, are extremely relevant and remain unanswered:
What exactly are McHenry ties to high level murdered Republican dirty tricks consultant Ralph Gonzalez and of his alleged shooter Jason Robert Drake. And why has McHenry tried to hide his political past by stating on his website and official bio that he is either a real estate broker, a small businessman or in sales.
Why have the police given such premature and unprofessional comments to the media in this case?*
What is going on with the traditional media’s response to this news item. Google and see for yourself. Can you imagine them ignoring the murder of two prominent young gay Democratic operatives. Of course not.
Is the disinformation campaign about Drake initiated by a gay porn blogger or by McHenry's staff?
The former makes no sense, the latter is sheer stupidity but IS muddying the waters somewhat. And is one more reason for questioning a traditional media's response. Who can ignore a story that includes a gay porn blogger? Come on.
Why have no media outlets in the 10th Congressional District will covered, much less done any research on this story.*The police said August 23 that the murder/suicide was the result of a lover's triangle.
On August 27 they told the Orlando Sentinel:
What prompted him to go in and commit that crime remains undetermined and may never be known," Picanzo said. "We have had so many different and conflicting statements from people.Since when do the police say the crime motive will never been known this early in an investigation? It makes no sense.

GAY double murder and suicide, may blow the lid off the GOP
Authorities in Orlando, Florida believe the double murder and suicide that took place inside the home of GOP consultant Ralph Gonzalez last week was committed by one of the men found the residence at 2420 Hickory Oak Blvd. That man was ex-Marine Jason Drake, age 30. Drake allegedly threatened to kill “a friend” with whom he was “having troubles” six weeks ago.
The first CrimeBlog.US entry about the three dead men found at Gonzalez’s home, (Gonzalez, Drake, and Gonzalez’s roommate, attorney David Abrami) was cross-posted to The Brad Blog, run by Brad Friedman.
Because The Strategum Group (Ralph Gonzalez’s political consulting company) once worked for Florida congressman Tom Feeney, the story was of particular interest to regular readers of Brad Friedman’s site. Friedman has tracked the Jack Abramoff-connected Feeney for quite some time, sometimes blogging daily during the contentious election Feeney won against opponent Clint Curtis in 2006.
Friedman documented Feeney/Strategum Group moves like creating a website named:
CrazyClintCurtis.com.
Naturally, that URL shared mailservers with Gonzalez’s Strategumusa.com.
Some readers of the version of that blog entry posted at The Brad Blog felt that the murder-suicide in Orlando was more evidence somehow of Feeney’s corruption (an assassination, perhaps a triple homicide disguised as murder-suicide), but one commentator, using the screen name Zenoble, had an entirely different take on the matter:
My solid, but unconfirmed, sources say the Drake was trying to hit Gonzalez up for cash to raise money to defend a kid who is on trial for murder up in Pennsylvania. The 26 year old “kid” ran a gay escort and porn business in Virginia Beach and may have had several Republican clients–Drake being one. (See www.norfolkmaleescorts.com and www.boybatter.com). . .
Zenoble explained a little about the murder charges facing men named Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes. Then he wrote:
My sources say Drake may have approached Gonzalez for funds for Cuadra’s defense, threatening to blow the lid off everthing by MAKING THE REPUBLICAN CLIENT LIST OF THE GAY ESCORT BUSINESS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.
What happened in that house earlier this week in Orlando, we may never know. However, Drake, knowing that his gay lover, Harlow Cuadra, is more than likely going to fry for the murder of Kocis, may have gone off the deep end and killed Gonzalez and Abrami in desperation…
The e-mail address Zenoble use to post his comment tracked to a MySpace account for a young man name David. He has been e-mailed via that address, but no response had been received as of Sunday.
Blogs tend to be stereotyped — much of the time correctly — as the go-to destinations for rumors and unfounded allegations. If posts made by bloggers are often not taken seriously as sources of information, comments left on those posts are frequently viewed as even less likely to be credible.
Zenoble could have been making things up. He may have just attempted some sleuthing of his own, put two and two together and gotten five.
He may have been on to something.
Drake
The name “Drake” has been mysteriously associated with the January 24, 2007 murder of gay porn producer Bryan Kocis since early in the investigation.
Bryan Kocis was 44 when he was stabbed 28 times and his home in Luzerne County PA set on fire. He’d already been in trouble with the law himself.
In 2001 Kocis taped himself having sex with a 15-year-old boy. Kocis pled guilty in 2002 to the charge that he’d sexually abused a child, and Judge Michael Conahan gave Kocis one year of probation. A mitigating circumstance in Kocis’s case allegedly was his claim that he didn’t know the boy was underage.
When Bryan Kocis was murdered, (his house was also burgled before it was burned), he was embroiled in another controversy — a gay porn actor, Brent Corrigan (real name: Sean Lockhart), was alleging that he was still underage when he made some movies for Bryan Kocis’s Cobra Video.
Naturally, some suspicion first fell on Corrigan after Kocis was murdered. It appeared that his conflict with Kocis was still in the Internet pissing match stage on January 24, but it would be an understatement to say that some gay-themed blogs were abuzz like agitated hives of Africanized honeybees over the whole deal after it was learned that Kocis had been the victim of a homicide.
But when two men were arrested in connection with the murder of Bryan Kocis, they were picked up in Virginia. Harlow Cuadra, 26, and Cuadra’s business partner and housemate Joseph Kerekes, age 33, are currently in Pennsylvania awaiting trial on charges inculding conspiracy, homicide, arson, and abuse of a corpse.
Investigators believe that while Cuadra and Kerekes ran a male prostitution service out of their home at 1028 Stratem Court in Virginia Beach they were also plotting to take out Bryan Kocis.
Kocis and Cobra Video were competition for Cuadra and Kerekes.
Online, Joseph Kerekes used the e-mail nick stareyes23510 (source for this information was the domain registration record for NorfolkMaleEscorts.com). A Web search for that handle revealed many ads placed by a male escort in Northern Virginia named “Trent,” who advertised himself as “your typical All-American pretty boy.” “Trent” aimed to fulfill his clients’ “wildest dreams.” The same search also showed that Kerekes (and presumably Cuadra) were associated with the URL boisrus.com. The domain registration info for that URL showed it was run by “Norfolk Companions,” and the same stareyes23510 screen name was entered in the boisrus.com registration record.
A Google search of “Norfolk Companions” indicated that it was the name for a manufacturer of gay porn DVDs with titles like Young Bucks in Heat. Products being sold by Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes via the “Norfolk Companions” name would have indeed been in direct competition with Cobra Video products. Both seemed to target a specific audience in the gay community — viewers who liked porn featuring men who were supposed to be legal adults but appeared to be younger than 18 years of age.
One theory about the murder of Bryan Kocis does incorporate the conflict he was having with “Brent Corrigan.” It appears that in addition to Cobra Video producing movies targeting the same audience coveted by Norfolk Companions, Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes had their eyes on having Corrigan be in their movies.
Where would “Drake” have fit into this bizarre series of events and allegations?
Authorities in Pennsylvania began looking for Kocis’s killer with only the name “Drake” to go on.
Prior to his death Kocis had planned a meeting at his home in Dallas Township with a man named Drake. He’d received a photo of Drake via e-mail and Drake was supposed to talk over a modeling job with Kocis.
The fire at Kocis’s residence on January 24 was first reported over an hour after that scheduled meeting with “Drake.”
The photo Kocis allegedly received of Drake may have been a photo of Harlow Cuadra.
In March of 2007 The Virginian-Pilot published an article addressing Cuadra and “Drake.” A quote from that piece, authored by Duane Bourne and Jon Frank:
[Cuadra] has not denied being the man in the photograph. […] Cuadra’s photo is easily available on the Internet and […] Cuadra has often had it stolen before and used by other people involved in the male modeling and escort businesses.
[…]
Cuadra told the Times Leader in Wilkes-Barre that he was not acquainted with Kocis and was with a client for three hours in Virginia Beach on the night Kocis was killed.
A telephone message at Norfolk Male Escorts said Cuadra was one of 40 male escorts and is now starring in a new porno-graphic film with “Drake.” Cuadra told the Times Leader that he met Drake at a recent adult film convention.
The plot may have thickened a bit in the comments left on yet another blog.
El Mysterio (link basically NSFW) says he is “Just you’re [sic] above average super sexy super-model type who does not want to be judged on his extraordinary beauty but on his really extremely high intellect.”
On April 7, 2007, El Mysterio wrote an entry about Bryan Kocis’s murder titled “Lies Trickery Fabrication Deceit.” The blogger made some interesting points about the conflict between Kocis and Corrigan/Lockhart, but just as interesting was this comment left on the post by “mark@www.boisrus.com” on April 9. It alluded to the first time authorities entered the home shared by Cuadra and Kerekes and added a first name for the “Drake” associated with both Kocis and Cuadra — emphasis has been added:
TO INTERJECT ON A HAPPY NOTE!!! Harlow & Joe are staying put in their home in Va Beach and are repairing the SWAT damage this week! ALSO AS I WRITE THIS MEMO …Harlow is filming his newest XXX blockbuster in Va Beach with NEW STUD Jakob Drake and Harlow…wild stuff too!!!!
Jason Drake is not too different from “Jakob.”
Norfolk to Orlando?
If a fatal dispute finally bubbled up between Ralph Gonzalez and Drake last week, the dispute could have been purely financial, and had nothing to do with sexuality. Such volatile situations typically seem to revolve around two fundamental human motivations — greed and lust.
The AP published a story on August 24 indicating that the murder-suicide in Orlando might have been a lovers’ quarrel. But as Towleroad noted, they later scrubbed any references in the story to homosexuality, or the murders and suicide being related to a “lovers’ quarrel.”
So in the traditional media, references to any of the dead men in Ralph Gonzalez’s home being gay have been almost non-existent. In part that may have been because one of the men, David Abrami, was not gay, and many newswriters on deadline don’t have the time or inclination to stop and make distinctions. (It may have been Abrami’s girlfriend in North Carolina who first alerted police to something being wrong at the house in Orlando. See the comments left on the first CrimeBlog.US version of the entry about the murder-suicide for statements regarding Abrami and his friendship with Gonzalez.)
Comments left on this blog, discussions on other blogs and some news accounts did suggest that Gonzalez was “out” to his friends, and that Jason Drake was formerly a roommate of Gonzalez’s.
WFTV reported that Drake did a four-year stint in the Marines. The TV station’s article stated that Drake had been living with his aunt and uncle in East Orlando for at least 6 months and had worked as tiler for his uncle.
As a Marine, the chances for Drake to pass through Norfolk, VA were many. No less than the U.S. Marine Corps Forces Command is located in Norfolk, at the Naval Station there. If Drake was at Camp LeJeune or perhaps stationed in San Diego, then the likelihood of his somehow having been connected to Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes was slim. If Drake’s time in the Corps was spent stateside in Norfolk and he was gay, the possibility that Drake may have known about “Norfolk Companions” or NorfolkMaleEscorts.com increases.
Dates of hearings in the Cuadra/Kocis case line up to some degree with the assertions made by Zenoble in his comment on the Brad Blog post. They may also square with one statement Drake reportedly made.
Zenoble: “Drake was trying to hit Gonzalez up for cash to raise money to defend a kid who is on trial for murder up in Pennsylvania.”
Preliminary hearings in the Kocis murder began Monday, August 20. Two days prior to that, it was reported that the house owned by Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes was on the market. Police in Orlando believe Gonzalez, Abrami, and Drake may have died on Tuesday, August 21. The hearings in Pennsylvania continued on August 23.
It was hard to not make note of one of Drake’s relatives reporting that he’d said 6 weeks ago that he was having problems with a friend that apparently made him angry enough to be homicidal.
Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes were finally extradited from Virginia to Pennsylvania about 6 weeks prior to the murder-suicide in Orlando, in early July, 2007. Around that time it became clear that the assets owned by both men were also up for forfeiture, allegations of prostitution in part making up the state of Virginia’s argument for seizing the pair’s assets.
If Jason Drake was indeed trying to get Ralph Gonzalez to give some financial aid to Harlow Cuadra and/or Joe Kerekes, it seems logical to think that the issue would have come up between Drake and Gonzalez over 6 weeks ago, when it became clear the men in Virginia were being extradited and losing their money, as well. It makes sense too that Drake would have been in crisis mode again on August 21st — gruesome testimony about Kocis’s murder (he was nearly decapitated) given on August 20 in the preliminary hearings for Cuadra and Kerekes in Pennsylvania already seemed to be pointing towards the men heading to trial.
Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes had up to 40 escorts in their employ at one point. As the Jeff Gannon/Guckert scandal from a few years ago demonstrated, there seems to be some market in Northern Virginia for male escorts with military “looks” — close-cropped or shaven heads, clean-cut appearances overall, muscular physiques. If Drake was gay, could he have been making money on the side, and come to know Cuadra and Kerekes that way?
Clandestine ties between men ultimately linking a violent homicide in Pennsylvania with a double murder and suicide in Florida 7 months later may not be the politically-charged conspiracy some seem ready to believe this story to be. If those ties do exist, though, it doesn’t matter if politics are only incidental to the story of Ralph Gonzalez, Jason Drake, and David Abrami. The story would still be as weird and complicated as any tale of murder ever gets.
Finally, while some of the statements made by “Zenoble” at The Brad Blog could be made to dovetail with what was known about the murders in Florida and the murder last January in Pennsylvania, one of his assertions couldn’t be addressed. Zenoble wrote that Drake might make “THE REPUBLICAN CLIENT LIST OF THE GAY ESCORT BUSINESS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE” if Ralph Gonzalez didn’t help fund the defense of Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes.
This statement can be taken one of at least two ways — either the person making it is full of it and spinning a conspiracy theory, or there may be a client list of Republicans who used the services of NorfolkMaleEscorts.com.
If the latter possibility came true, then another story of prostitution and “client lists” from earlier in 2007 would pale in comparison.
We shall see.
Someone named Harlow R. Cuadra lived in Florida until at least 2002, about 90-100 miles from Orlando. The Harlow Cuadra who lived in Florida was born in the same month and year as the man in jail in Pennsylvania for the murder of Bryan Kocis. Several Florida addresses from the first 5 years of this decade for a Jason R. Drake put him as close as 25 miles from street addresses for Harlow Cuadra.
For what it’s worth, there were also Florida addresses in the same area as Harlow Cuadra for a Joe Kerekes whose age was the same as the Kerekes jailed in Pennsylvania.
Also for what it’s worth — one Jason R. Drake address put him in Oviedo, the same hometown as congressman Tom Feeney, a Strategum Group/Ralph Gonzalez client.
All this proves, of course, absolutely nothing. It may add a new level of proximity between one of the main suspects in the Kocis case and at least 2 of the men who died in Orlando.
Were it not for the fact that there is a policy for this blog of not deleting entries unless absolutely necessary, even if they have bad information in them, this entry might have been taken down by now. It was so speculative that its fate was pretty tenuous, policy notwithstanding.
This new tidbit about Cuadra and Kerekes possibly having lived in Florida, however, is enough to keep this post up and possibly updated again if the information that prompted this first addition is confirmed and clarified.

The first CrimeBlog.US entry about the three dead men found at Gonzalez’s home, (Gonzalez, Drake, and Gonzalez’s roommate, attorney David Abrami) was cross-posted to The Brad Blog, run by Brad Friedman.
Because The Strategum Group (Ralph Gonzalez’s political consulting company) once worked for Florida congressman Tom Feeney, the story was of particular interest to regular readers of Brad Friedman’s site. Friedman has tracked the Jack Abramoff-connected Feeney for quite some time, sometimes blogging daily during the contentious election Feeney won against opponent Clint Curtis in 2006.
Friedman documented Feeney/Strategum Group moves like creating a website named:
CrazyClintCurtis.com.
Naturally, that URL shared mailservers with Gonzalez’s Strategumusa.com.
Some readers of the version of that blog entry posted at The Brad Blog felt that the murder-suicide in Orlando was more evidence somehow of Feeney’s corruption (an assassination, perhaps a triple homicide disguised as murder-suicide), but one commentator, using the screen name Zenoble, had an entirely different take on the matter:
My solid, but unconfirmed, sources say the Drake was trying to hit Gonzalez up for cash to raise money to defend a kid who is on trial for murder up in Pennsylvania. The 26 year old “kid” ran a gay escort and porn business in Virginia Beach and may have had several Republican clients–Drake being one. (See www.norfolkmaleescorts.com and www.boybatter.com). . .
Zenoble explained a little about the murder charges facing men named Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes. Then he wrote:
My sources say Drake may have approached Gonzalez for funds for Cuadra’s defense, threatening to blow the lid off everthing by MAKING THE REPUBLICAN CLIENT LIST OF THE GAY ESCORT BUSINESS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.
What happened in that house earlier this week in Orlando, we may never know. However, Drake, knowing that his gay lover, Harlow Cuadra, is more than likely going to fry for the murder of Kocis, may have gone off the deep end and killed Gonzalez and Abrami in desperation…
The e-mail address Zenoble use to post his comment tracked to a MySpace account for a young man name David. He has been e-mailed via that address, but no response had been received as of Sunday.
Blogs tend to be stereotyped — much of the time correctly — as the go-to destinations for rumors and unfounded allegations. If posts made by bloggers are often not taken seriously as sources of information, comments left on those posts are frequently viewed as even less likely to be credible.
Zenoble could have been making things up. He may have just attempted some sleuthing of his own, put two and two together and gotten five.
He may have been on to something.
Drake
The name “Drake” has been mysteriously associated with the January 24, 2007 murder of gay porn producer Bryan Kocis since early in the investigation.
Bryan Kocis was 44 when he was stabbed 28 times and his home in Luzerne County PA set on fire. He’d already been in trouble with the law himself.
In 2001 Kocis taped himself having sex with a 15-year-old boy. Kocis pled guilty in 2002 to the charge that he’d sexually abused a child, and Judge Michael Conahan gave Kocis one year of probation. A mitigating circumstance in Kocis’s case allegedly was his claim that he didn’t know the boy was underage.
When Bryan Kocis was murdered, (his house was also burgled before it was burned), he was embroiled in another controversy — a gay porn actor, Brent Corrigan (real name: Sean Lockhart), was alleging that he was still underage when he made some movies for Bryan Kocis’s Cobra Video.
Naturally, some suspicion first fell on Corrigan after Kocis was murdered. It appeared that his conflict with Kocis was still in the Internet pissing match stage on January 24, but it would be an understatement to say that some gay-themed blogs were abuzz like agitated hives of Africanized honeybees over the whole deal after it was learned that Kocis had been the victim of a homicide.
But when two men were arrested in connection with the murder of Bryan Kocis, they were picked up in Virginia. Harlow Cuadra, 26, and Cuadra’s business partner and housemate Joseph Kerekes, age 33, are currently in Pennsylvania awaiting trial on charges inculding conspiracy, homicide, arson, and abuse of a corpse.
Investigators believe that while Cuadra and Kerekes ran a male prostitution service out of their home at 1028 Stratem Court in Virginia Beach they were also plotting to take out Bryan Kocis.
Kocis and Cobra Video were competition for Cuadra and Kerekes.
Online, Joseph Kerekes used the e-mail nick stareyes23510 (source for this information was the domain registration record for NorfolkMaleEscorts.com). A Web search for that handle revealed many ads placed by a male escort in Northern Virginia named “Trent,” who advertised himself as “your typical All-American pretty boy.” “Trent” aimed to fulfill his clients’ “wildest dreams.” The same search also showed that Kerekes (and presumably Cuadra) were associated with the URL boisrus.com. The domain registration info for that URL showed it was run by “Norfolk Companions,” and the same stareyes23510 screen name was entered in the boisrus.com registration record.
A Google search of “Norfolk Companions” indicated that it was the name for a manufacturer of gay porn DVDs with titles like Young Bucks in Heat. Products being sold by Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes via the “Norfolk Companions” name would have indeed been in direct competition with Cobra Video products. Both seemed to target a specific audience in the gay community — viewers who liked porn featuring men who were supposed to be legal adults but appeared to be younger than 18 years of age.
One theory about the murder of Bryan Kocis does incorporate the conflict he was having with “Brent Corrigan.” It appears that in addition to Cobra Video producing movies targeting the same audience coveted by Norfolk Companions, Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes had their eyes on having Corrigan be in their movies.
