He was shot in cold blood as he stood in his kitchen in suburban Buffalo. Dead was Dr. Barnett Slepian, a leading performer of abortions in upstate New York.
As the Clinton administration and the mainstream media quickly jumped to the conclusion that a pro-life activist must be responsible for the slaying, evidence collected since the 1998 incident is far from conclusive.
Emmy-award winning writer and producer Jack Cashill has written an exclusive seven-part series exploring the murder and the many unexplained actions by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies in the ensuing investigation.
Cashill’s series, which debuts in WorldNetDaily Monday, probes the many unanswered questions about the government’s case against longtime abortion foe James Kopp, who today awaits extradition to the U.S. in a French jail cell. Questions like:
- Was it mere coincidence that a warning about possible killings of abortion doctors was issued to Slepian on the day he was shot?
- Why did the FBI exclude from its affidavit any testimony from a 14-year-old witness who had seen a man running to the passenger side of a getaway car?
- Why did the feds come looking for Kopp at friend Jim Gannon’s house the day after the shooting when no evidence yet pointed to Kopp?
- How could the FBI’s most critical eyewitness identify Kopp and ID his car when uncontested grand jury testimony put Kopp at a job site eight hours away that very morning?
- Why did it take law enforcement two weeks to find a concealed bag of Kopp’s personal effects allegedly buried at the crime scene? How did they find it? Why would anyone bury his wristwatch or his fanny pack when police were already on the way?
- Why did the FBI suddenly drop the investigation into the two suspicious leftists who had visited the crime scene?
- How could it possibly have taken the feds six months to find a rifle buried at the crime scene given the ease of finding a rifle with a metal detector? Why would anyone bury a rifle after a shooting, especially in its original shipping pack? Why did the agents go back to look?
- Why didn’t the test-fired bullet match the bullet found in Slepian’s home?
