The Missing Door

      We have testimony from an attorney, Jack Zimmerman, an officer of the court who went inside the Branch Davidian compound and saw the evidence of the BATF having fired into the compound. That evidence he has said was a metal door with holes showing the firing was from the outside. That door is missing.
      This was a metal door and not subject to melting or disintegration. This was a two part door. The government has obligingly presented the other door but can not find the first door. Who has this door?
      The government had exclusive access to the fire scene for several weeks. In that time the door disappeared. When the Texas Rangers were permitted on the scene they could not find it. Where could it have gone?
      I certainly would not like to accuse the government of concealing or destroying evidence but I find it hard not to do so. Just where does a metal door go when its mate is found intact? Does God have some special hatred of left doors in fires?
      I have to ask if this door disappeared in its entirety what other evidence might have disappeared? There must be something to the non-existence of other evidence. We know the government will fake evidence in such prosecutions as in the Randy Weaver trial but this is the first demonstrable case of the destruction of evidence by the Federal government.
      It is quite difficult to stretch this out to the right length as the case is prima facia of evidence destruction. We have a case of fraud upon the court.
