The Murder of a US Attorney - The All Too Familiar Connections back my allegations

The Murder of US Attorney Thomas Wales has an interesting connection to the Bay Area that comes full circle back to my story.  

It has been nearly 10 years since a killer stood outside the Seattle home of Tom Wales and fired several shots from a handgun through a basement window, killing the assistant U.S. attorney and father of two while he worked at his desk.

Since that time, the FBI and our law enforcement partners have dedicated themselves to finding those responsible for the murder. Now, as the 10th anniversary of the killing approaches on October 11, we are announcing a new media campaign to again ask for the public’s assistance. 

“This is an active case in which we are constantly and aggressively pursuing leads,” said Greg Fowler, the FBI inspector in charge of the task force investigating the murder. “Information is the key,” Fowler added, “and the better the information, the greater the chance of finding those responsible.”

Wales, a prosecutor who specialized in white-collar crime cases, was shot at 10:40 p.m. It has been reported that a lone male suspect was observed leaving the scene. 

We Need Your Help

Please contact the FBI is you have any information about this case. No piece of information is too small, and your tip may help bring justice on this case and closure for the family of Tom Wales. If your information leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the murder of AUSA Wales, you will be eligible for the reward of up to $1 million.

- Publicity flyer: Help Solve This Case (PDF)
- Seeking Information poster

If you have any information about the case, there are three ways you can contact the FBI, all of which are confidential and can also be anonymous:

- Call: (206) 622-0460
- E-mail: walestips@fbi.gov
- Send a letter: FBI Seattle - Thomas Wales Case, 1110 3rd Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101. 

“We know information about the crime is still out there,” Fowler said. “We know there are people who—because of fear, doubt, or other reasons—have not yet come forward. Regardless of the reasons, now is the time to come forward. Now is the time to tell us what you know. Now is the time to help us solve this crime.”

During the next few weeks, residents in the Seattle region will see and hear a variety of print, broadcast, and billboard advertisements regarding the Wales investigation and the reward of up to $1 million for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. In addition, detailed information about the case will be available on our website and our social media outlets, including Facebook.

“There are those who may not even know their information is important,” Fowler said, explaining the need for the media campaign. “Something seen, something heard, something out of place, something unusual—even the smallest clue may help.”

Special Agent Russ Fox, who has been supervising the investigation for the past two years, added that the 10th anniversary of the murder is a natural point to “renew the public’s interest in the investigation.” Fox noted that the murder took place exactly one month after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which should help people remember that time period. 

Insight Into a Killer

As part of the Wales homicide investigation, the Bureau asked its Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) to review the evidence to help understand the personality of the killer and the ways he might react as the 10th anniversary of the murder approaches. 

Left: (About the murder weapon (PDF) “The anniversary and renewed media attention could prompt a reaction in anyone involved in the homicide,” said Susan Kossler, the BAU special agent assigned to assist with the case. “It’s important for people around that person to make note of behaviors that may be unusual or out of the ordinary.”

The media coverage surrounding the anniversary could trigger a variety of emotional responses from the killer, Kossler said. “He may appear tense or uneasy. He may make unexpected or inappropriate comments about the murder or about Wales.”

The killer might be preoccupied with the case and want to talk about it constantly. Or the very mention of the murder might make him shut down completely. “Any stronger than normal reaction, any significant deviation from the norm is what people should be looking for,” Kossler said.

Fox acknowledged that the case has special significance because Wales was a federal prosecutor and a partner to law enforcement. “But he was also a neighbor, a father, and a member of our community.”

The FBI, the Seattle Police Department, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, and the Department of Justice—which form the Seattle Prosecutor Murder Task Force—“are still fully committed to this case,” Fox said.

“The murder of Tom Wales was more than a single act of violence against an individual,” Fowler added. “It was a crime that impacted many, but no one more than his family. Tom Wales left behind a legacy and a life that cannot be replaced. We remain confident that, with the public’s help, we will find those responsible and bring them to justice.”

If you have any information about the case, there are three ways you can contact the FBI, all of which are confidential:

Call: (206) 622-0460
E-mail: walestips@fbi.gov
Send a letter: FBI Seattle - Thomas Wales Case, 1110 3rd Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101.

Federal Probation Officer Jennifer Hutchings

You don't have the complete story

Federal Probation Officer Jennifer Hutchings wrote in the filing that
the company did not report to its probation officer that it reached a
$1.5 million settlement with Butte County in October for its role in
causing three 2017 fires. It also did not report that it was being
criminally investigated by the District Attorney in one of those
blazes, dubbed the Honey Fire, for failure to properly trim trees near
its power lines. The criminal investigation was dropped and no charges
were filed.

“At no time did Pacific Gas and Electric Company report this
investigation by the Butte County District Attorney’s Office to the
probation office,” Hutchings wrote.

Alsup oversees the company’s criminal probation following its
conviction on six felonies related to the 2010 San Bruno explosion
killed eight people. In addition to fines and other penalties, in 2017,
then-U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson placed the utility on five
years of probation, during which time it was ordered not to “commit
another federal, state, or local crime.”

PG&E: Feds allege utility violated terms of its criminal probation in the San Bruno explosion, judge sets hearing

SAN FRANCISCO — In another blow to embattled PG&E, federal
officials say the utility may have violated the terms of its probation
imposed after the deadly San Bruno pipeline explosion by failing to
reveal that it was being investigated for causing a fire and settling a
lawsuit over that and two other blazes.

Sometime in August 2004 while a member of Pack 36 Danville I explained to Judge Joel Golub my F-250 exploded on NB-680, then a month later I was severely beaten by Gary Vinson Collins, amazingly a building inspector for the Town of Danville.

Judge William Alsup ordered its lawyers to appear in court Jan. 30 to
answer to allegations filed by a federal probation officer in U.S.
District Court documents Wednesday.

Federal Probation Officer Jennifer Hutchings wrote in the filing that
the company did not report to its probation officer that it reached a
$1.5 million settlement with Butte County in October for its role in
causing three 2017 fires. It also did not report that it was being
criminally investigated by the District Attorney in one of those
blazes, dubbed the Honey Fire, for failure to properly trim trees near
its power lines. The criminal investigation was dropped and no charges
were filed.

“At no time did Pacific Gas and Electric Company report this
investigation by the Butte County District Attorney’s Office to the
probation office,” Hutchings wrote.

Alsup oversees the company’s criminal probation following its
conviction on six felonies related to the 2010 San Bruno explosion
killed eight people. In addition to fines and other penalties, in 2017,
then-U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson placed the utility on five
years of probation, during which time it was ordered not to “commit
another federal, state, or local crime.”

In a separate filing Wednesday, Alsup proposed that he change
PG&E’s probation to force changes aimed at reducing “to zero the
number of wildfires caused by PG&E in 2019.”

“In light of PG&E’s history of falsification of inspection reports,
PG&E shall, between now and the 2019 Wildfire Season, re-inspect
all of its electrical grid and remove or trim all trees that could fall
onto its power lines, poles or equipment in high-wind conditions,” the
judge wrote.

He also said the company has to monitor its grid and wind conditions
“and may supply electricity only through those parts of its electrical
grid it has determined to be safe under the wind conditions then
prevailing.”

In a statement issued late Wednesday a PG&E spokesman, James
Noonan, said, “We are aware of Judge Alsup’s orders and are currently
reviewing. We are committed to complying with all rules and regulations
that apply to our work.”

In recent days, PG&E has said it is considering selling off its gas
division and replacing members of its board of directors as it
struggles with liabilities from the 2017 North Bay fire and the Camp
Fire in November that killed 86 people and devastated the Town of
Paradise. The price of its stock plummeted this week and company is
pondering a bankruptcy filing.

It has reported in regulatory findings that it is vastly underinsured
for the estimated $14 billion in liabilities it is facing over recent
wildfires.

A lawyer involved in the San Bruno case said aid she was both
surprised, but also not surprised that PG&E was found to not report
properly.

“It seems irresponsible for PG&E to not report any possible
violation of probation,” she said. “You’d think they’d be under high
alert … It would be the first thing a responsible corporation would
do,” said Attorney Britt Strottman, who represented the city of San
Bruno after the deadly explosion.

She said the judge should reopen the utility’s punishment.

“They probably should be re-sentenced,” said Strottman, a former San
Mateo prosecutor. “That might be the only way they learn their lesson.
A slap on the wrist will not change the culture of PG&E.”

Pasi Hamalainen ~ Pacific Investment Management Co. (PIMCO)

Pasi Hamalainen Obituary Condolences

Pasi Hamalainen

Pasi M. Hamalainen, a gifted financial executive, devoted father and cultivator of many long-term friendships, died in his sleep on Jan. 16 at his home in Manhattan Beach, Calif. He was 46. Though he came from modest beginnings in Finland, Hamalainen earned an Ivy League education and parlayed it into a stellar career with Pacific Investment Management Co. (PIMCO), one of the world's largest asset-management firms. He rose through the ranks to become a managing director and director of global risk oversight, helping the company amass $2 trillion in assets. All the while Hamalainen lived by two iron credos: once you were his friend you were "a friend for life"; and he insisted on "nothing but the best." He possessed an engineer's fascination with precision instruments, from watches to sound systems to airplanes to very fast cars. An audiophile with a keen ear, Hamalainen built an oceanfront house in Manhattan Beach and equipped it with a vacuum-tube stereo system that turned his home into an approximation of a concert hall. His constantly evolving car collection included BMW's, Aston Martins, Bentleys and a Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse. He loved to drive the snaking roads of the Los Angeles canyons, and with his Bugatti he set a staggering record of 230.6 miles per hour at the Sun Valley Road Rally last year. Though he enjoyed his toys, success for Hamalainen was not measured in money or possessions. He was generous with friends and family, and toward causes he regarded as worthy. He was also known for his unique sense of humor. He departed PIMCO in 2008 after 14 years with the company, and the next year his wife, Dr. Carey Cullinane, gave birth to their son, Logan Patrick. Retirement gave Hamalainen the freedom to travel the world. It also introduced him to the joys of fatherhood. "This last year Pasi was so happy," said his brother, Janne Hamalainen. "He was able to spend more time with his son, which was the most important thing by far to him. One of their favorite things to do together was play with toy planes - my brother was typically the air-traffic controller and Logan was the pilot - and they had a great bond." In 2012 Hamalainen joined the Capital Group, a Los Angeles-based investment management firm, as a fixed-income portfolio manager. He was also busy with a variety of philanthropic endeavors. He endowed a professorship at his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, and he joined the Advisory Board of the Jacobs Levy Center for Quantitative Financial Research at the university's Wharton School. He and his former wife, Dr. Cullinane, an oncologist, also endowed the Hamalainen Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the Stanford University Medical Center. Pasi Matti Hamalainen was born in Helsinki on May 18, 1967, where his father was a sportswriter and his mother was an elementary school teacher. His mother, Raili, had competed twice with the Finnish national gymnastics team in the Olympics. The marriage ended in divorce in 1969 and Raili raised her two sons in the town of Tampere, where they briefly attended the Tampere University of Technology. Janne went on to study electrical engineering at the University of Tulsa, and Pasi, after a two-year stint as a pilot in the Finnish Air Force, won a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. There he competed on the track team and completed a rigorous five-year program in just four years, earning dual bachelor's degrees in engineering and economics. He went directly into the Ph.D. program at the university's Wharton School, but left to join PIMCO in 1994 after earning a master's degree in finance. As a student at Penn, Hamalainen served as a research assistant for the professors Donald Keim and Ananth Madhavan, both of whom became life-long friends. Together they produced papers on such lofty topics as "The Upstairs Market for Large-Block Transactions: Analysis and Measurement of Price Effects." "Pasi was the guy who had the technical skills and the smarts to crack the data - load it, parse it, interpret it," says Madhavan, a native of India. "The guy was brilliant. But the thing that was important to him in his life were his friends. He was very close to the group at Wharton, and they remained friends. That's very Finnish." "He was very, very bright," adds Keim. "Very serious, very quiet, but always thinking things through. Everything he said was very measured, very precise. And once he became your friend, he was always a true friend." In lieu of flowers, donations in honor of Pasi Hamalainen may be sent via the Pasi Hamalainen Memorial Fund. - http://pasihamalainenmemorialfund.mydagsite.com
