The Carp Review - Part Six

Oechsler's game plan worked for a while but clearly he did not
expect anyone to get in his way. He severely underestimated his
ability to control the people who knew what was going on with
threats of law-suits, by calling them 'debunkers' or by trying to
buy them off. The outcome?  Oechsler had to resign from the field
claiming that he needed to "extricate myself from this eternal
abyss and return to the family life that I've sorely neglected".

Curiously, at no time since the Carp 'Story' broke, have
Oechsler, Macabbee, the Labaneks, Gill, or Charlebois pointed out
any discrepancies in any of our findings, by letter to us, any of
the UFO press or on the computer networks.

Oechsler has only bothered to tell a few individuals and MUFON
Headquarters in Seguin, Texas that he was going to sue us and
anybody else involved in publicizing the true story because we
were "taking his livelihood away".

Of course, we would be remiss not to mention:

a) the anonymous letter that was sent to Chris Rutkowski mailed
   from Albany NY and

b) the posting of a series of 'reviews' of some of our published
   findings in this newsletter, by a mysterious person named
   'Alex from Quebec'. On the National Capital FreeNet in Ottawa,
   'Alex from Quebec' complained that we used character bashing
   and threatening of the 'witness' Gill to achieve our
   'debunking' results.

'Alex' apparently didn't have computer network access (just like
Oechsler!) and used a member of a small group of 'Carp: We want
it to be true' die-hards in Ottawa to diseminate the results of
an 'investigation'.

The letter and the 'Alex' messages smacked of Oechsler's writing
style and contained information to which only he and we were
privy.  And we thought the similarity between the names
'Oechsler' (Ex-Ler) and 'Alex' was interesting too...

Gill did once threaten MUFON Ontario verbally on the phone, to
Victor Lourenco, saying that she would sue us if we publicized
her name, which might create problems for her at her work place.
A good time to think about 'job security' after all the nonsense
of her 'story', no?

It seems to us that we've either done a good job in our research
and investigation or the above mentioned individuals are
'patsies'. We don't think so.

In conclusion our findings are as follows:

1)  The Labaneks, Bobby Charlebois, Pavel Farfara and possibly
    others were involved in creating a Hoax video and
    distributing it as a recording of a 'UFO landing'.

2)  That Susan Gill's story was used to pad the Carp event, even
    though her 'event' occurred (if at all) at a different time.

3)  Oechsler used his manipulative ability to build a story even
    though he knew of the circumstances and exactly what was
    going on and together with Bruce Macabbee, intentionally
    misled the public, the media and ufology using unethical
    means, and bad judgement in order to benefit financially and
    personally.

4)  That the Guardian video of a 'UFO landing' has, after
    analysis, proved inconclusive and likely is either a pick-up
    truck or (according to the RCMP investigation) a helicopter.


THANKS

We would like to thank all the people who helped us resolve this
intriguing 'case' - resolved in our minds and in the minds of the
following people:

- First and foremost Graham Lightfoot for the tireless, countless
  hours he spent on this case on his own and with us, for not
  breaking down despite unscrupulous tactics by Oechsler &
  Oechsler's 'friends',

- 'Our' group : Victor Lourenco, Drew Williamson, Sue Kovios,
  Chuck Courville, Wayne St. John and Vaughn Killin.

- OICEPE's [formerly MUFON Quebec] Jacques Poulet, Christian
  Nault and the 'chief' - Christian Page, for their help in
  obtaining the RCMP report, putting the real story out and for
  the energy they expended on the actual investigation.

- To all the people across Canada who nudged, prodded and guided
  - the independant Chris Rutkowski, Mike Strainic, Grant
  Wakefield, Mike McLarty, 'Sandy' and several others who don't
  want to be mentioned but who made major contributions.

- Special thanks to Ian Rogers and Associates for the courage and
  tenacity they showed in ferreting out much truth on the case,
  without whose help we might never have found out as much as we
  did.

- Thanks to Tom's wife Lise, she was beside him throughout the
  years of the case, everywhere we went - through rain, mud,
  snow, humidity, heat and our highs and lows.

- Last but not least thanks to all those individuals around the
  planet whose encouragement and snippets of information added
  much to a very difficult and long task, especially MUFON
  Headquarters in Seguin, Texas, (thanks Dennis Stacy) and Vicky
  Cooper Ecker & shiney new husband Don Ecker of UFO MAGAZINE and
  UFOs Tonite for not being afraid of the truth.

We consider this case closed and will now turn our attention to
the completion of 'Carp: The Official MUFON Ontario Report'.

We will keep you up-to-date on the inevitable attempts by
Oechsler and that strange group of people in Carleton County to
discredit us and will endevour to block all attempts by Oechsler
to 'come-back'.
