MURDER IN MCHENRY is about the murder of my father, Ron Scharff and his employee Patricia Freeman at our tavern the PM Pub in Lakemoor, IL on June 2^nd, 1981. McHenry County Sheriff George Hendle is the original investigator and has a suspect in the double homicides. The suspect is a man named Glen, who is Patricia Freeman’s boyfriend. Glen was never arrested and the case went cold for 27 years until my former babysitter, Holly Hager, asker her father who he thought had killed my father and Pat. One of the names he mentioned was Larry Neumann. Holly googled the name Larry Neumann and found out that he was a known killer from the town of McHenry, Illinois. She traced his name to a book about a former mobster turned government witness called CULLOTTA. Frank Cullotta worked for Chicago Outfit boss of Las Vegas, Tony Spilotro, who was made famous when Joe Pesci played the role of Nicky Santoro based on Spilotro in the movie CASINO. On page 130 of Frank Cullotta’s book he named Larry Neumann as the killer of my father and Patricia Freeman. Larry Neumann was a Chicago Outfit enforcer and Hole in the Wall Gang member. He was already convicted of a triple murder of a bar owner, bar employee, and a newspaper vendor; and was feared by mobsters and cops alike. I reached out to the authors of the book, Frank Cullotta and Dennis Griffin (credit danielson). I wanted to know, why didn’t Frank Cullotta turn over this information to Sheriff George Hendle back in 1982 when Frank turned government witness? He said that he did. That is where my pursuit of justice begins. Will the second investigator Undersheriff Andrew Zinke name Larry Neumann as the killer of Ron Scharff and Patricia Freeman? Will Undersheriff Andrew Zinke get to the bottom of why Sheriff George Hendle did not act on this information almost 30 years ago? Will the Scharff and Freeman families find closure in this horrific tragedy? GET YOUR FREE COPY OF MURDER IN MCHENRY STARTING ON JANUARY 29^th from AMAZON!

MCHENRY COUNTY SHERIFF ELECTION. The primaries for the McHenry County Sheriff’s election are March 18^th, 2014. The Republican primary is between candidates, retired Des Plaines Police Commander Bill Prim, and McHenry County Undersheriff Andrew Zinke. Unlike most primaries, this primary will most likely elect the next sheriff for McHenry County. What I am suggesting is that the winner of this race will most likely win in the November Sheriff Election.

UPDATES ON www.mchenrycounty1981.com Many of you are familiar with this website. This is the website that I began to use in 2008 and 2009 to get Larry Neumann named as the killer of my father. Since, it has been a centralized repository of everything related to my father’s case and more. It has TV and video interviews, pictures, newspaper articles, radio show interviews, and all of the articles that I have written to date. While I was writing my book MURDER IN MCHENRY, I did not do much with this website but it was still online. When I picked up the website in January of 2013, there was not much traffic on it.  January 2013 the mchenrycounty1981.com site could boast only a 164 Unique Visits, 414 Visits, and 1,093 Pages turned (a number of times an article was read). We ended the year in December with 6,105 Unique Visits, 17,560 Visits, and 75,316 Pages turned. The total for the year was 39,163 Unique Visits, 103,983 Visits, and 490,220 pages turned, almost a half million. We all should be proud considering our humble beginnings. We do our monthly January total and more on a daily basis. There is much pride in these numbers to be had, but we need to put them in perspective. All the numbers quoted matter, but gauging how many people we are reaching is looking at Unique Visits. This is the number of unique IP’s that come into the site. When you look at these spectacular numbers we still have to realize that we are trying to reach to the community of McHenry County, which is around 350,000. Still lot’s to do. IN SUMMARY, I have been discussing the need for change. Corruption in McHenry County is rampant, and I believe in particular in the McHenry County Sheriff’s office. This has been going on for decades so it will not change overnight. The first step is getting the trust and integrity back into the highest law enforcement office in the county, and that is the sheriff’s office. We can look to Bill Prim to make that change; and in order for him to do that for us, we will need to some things for him. We need to support Bill through donations and volunteering for his campaign. I hear from a lot of victims. People that been victimized through a murder, someone missing, through bribery of the courts and lawyers, and all other alleged victimizations; now is your chance. You want justice for yourself, for someone you know, or just simply want to exist in a community that feels safe; participate in supporting your candidate, and participate by voting in the election. The ball is in your court!

 

 

 

 

 

KNOWLEDGE CENTER

I have put together some of the articles that I have written that are prevalent for the upcoming election in MARCH!. This is the Republican Nominee election but probably more important than the general election. It is most likely the winner in March will win in November and become sheriff. If you review the articles in the Knowledge Center, you will read all kinds of unbelievable things as it relates to this election.

 

Freedom of Information Act Appeal to get the remainder of my father’s file. In my efforts to get to the bottom of my father’s murder and what the McHenry County Sheriff’s office has done to me and my family 33 years ago. I filed a FOIA Request (Freedom of Information Act Request) to get my father’s case file. Many documents were withheld from my request. It is my believe the documents are withheld to protect guilty individuals that are known to Sheriff Keith Nygren and Undersheriff Andrew Zinke that covered up who actually killed my father during the original investigation. Start on page 11 to read what sounds like a murder mystery thriller, but this is my true life. It is backed by FBI reports, witness statements, and newspaper articles.

Andrew Zinke for McHenry County Sheriff, Really??? This article is based on my own father’s murder investigation and Undersheriff Andrew Zinke. I talked about how he made his own milestones and failed to meet every single one. How it took me calling NBC News Chicago to get Andrew Zinke to return my phone call about my father’s murder investigation, as he was the lead investigator. I am fighting to get the remainder of my father’s case file. It is my believe that Undersheriff Andrew Zinke and the Sheriff Keith Nygren are hiding and protecting individuals that covered up the true killer of my father during the original investigation.

Andrew Zinke plus Rita Corporation equals ON THE TAKE Brian Goode and his RITA Corporation was a person of interest and focal point for the investigation of the distribution of 30 plus tons of marijuana. Undersheriff Andrew Zinke told Brian Goode of the investigation. Two days later, according to Koziol, (Sgt. Koziol was working on the investigation and filed a complaint against Zinke) Goode gave Zinke’s election campaign a $5,000 donation. The RITA Corporation address is the same address as Andrew Zinke’s campaign headquarters.

McHenry County Deputy Zane Seipler under siege, Again!! Zane Seipler is a whistleblowing deputy that was fired by Keith Nygren after he exposed the sheriff’s office for racial profiling. Nygren was forced to hire Seipler back after he lost an arbitration ruling, a court hearing, an appellate court hearing, and a failed attempt to be heard by the Illinois State Supreme Court. After Seipler was hired back, Nygren fired him again. Zane Seipler is currently fighting to get his job back.

Another McHenry County Deputy under siege, Scott Milliman Scott Milliman was a deputy and former right hand man to Sheriff Keith Nygren. He was fired by the sheriff for whistleblowing that the sheriff allegedly transacted in ticket fixing, bribery, general corruption, fraud in a SBA Loan, and in tapping Milliman himself to kill a McHenry County Judge and a Coroner’s Candidate. Scott Milliman is currently fighting to get his job back.

How Gary Gauger got to DEATH ROW This is the real life, tragic story of Gary Gauger. He was falsely arrested and sent to Death Row by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department for the double murder of his parents. Investigators from the sheriff’s department rigged a false confession so that they could convict him.

 

McHenry County Ethics Commission, Ethical or NOT!?!? The McHenry County Ethics Commission conducted a hearing of a complaint filed by Cal Skinner that Undersheriff Andrew Zinke used a government computer for a very politically charged email. The hearing was ran over by Zinke’s attorneys Mark Gummerson and Rebecca Lee. The sign up sheet to speak at the hearing went missing but found in the possession of Rebecca Lee. The commission went into secret session, made its decision, and did so without explanation.

First Electric Newspaper v.s. Sheriff Nygren and EEO Officer Donald Leist Pete Gonigam won a Public Access Bureau (Illinois States Attorney) appeal for the release of a 100 page report conducted by the McHenry County Sheriff’s office. The report exonerated Undersheriff Andrew Zinke after he told Brian Goode that he and his RITA Corporation was a the focal point of a drug investigation by the DEA.

Zinke’s middle finger may cost Cal Skinner $5,000 After filing a valid ethics complaint against Undersheriff Andrew Zinke for using a government computer for his campaign, Cal Skinner was to face Zinke’s attorney Mark Gummerson. Gummerson was lobbying for a $5,000 fine against Skinner filing a valid complaint. An act of bulling and intimidation of a McHenry County citizen.

Will McHenry County be Ripped Off by Special Interest in Sheriff Election? I question the interest and the contribution to Undersheriff Andrew Zinke’s campaign from the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150 election. I send a letter to the President-Business Manager of the union James M. Sweeney.

IUOE Local 150 and Andrew Zinke. Is this Gangster Money for a Gangster Cop? The International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150 contributes money to Undersheriff’s Andrew Zinke’s campaign. They have known ties to the Colombo and Gambino Crime Families.

 

Undersheriff Andrew Zinke Shuts Down Cal Skinner’s Blog Site Undersheriff Andrew Zinke’s campaign was able to get Cal Skinner’s website, mchenrycountyblog.com shut down by falsely accusing him of stalking and linking to obscene material. Read here on how Zinke’s campaign resorts to breaking the law to silence a citizen’s voice.

 

Andrew Zinke Fearful to Debate Bill Prim Lies to Get Out of It. Undersheriff Andrew Zinke is so fearful to debate Bill Prim for McHenry County Sheriff that he lies to get out of it. Zinke knows that he would be out matched, outwitted, and the truth of his corrupt character would be revealed to the citizens of McHenry County. Instead of enduring such damage to his campaign he lies to coward out of it.

Is Sheriff Nygren and Undersheriff Zinke Intimidating and Tampering with Federal Witnesses? Is Sheriff Nygren and Undersheriff Zinke intimidating federal witnesses? Or are the deputies fighting back? Donald Leist, the sheriff’s in house lawyer sent a letter to 30 deputies and correctional officers to be interrogated prior to their depositions in a federal case. Would that work anywhere else in the US or just McHerny County?
