The Alleged Crime Scene Malafemmena What I Learned Later
To back track just a bit, the press reported the boat was gone on January 31, 1983, right after the Bond allegations made headlines. Authorities already knew that and it was their responsibility to really check that out. According to the Bond story, Paradiso raped and murdered Joan on his boat, dumped her in Boston Harbor, and then came back to the pier two days later to sink his boat.
On September 27, 1983, the boat was raised from right under its mooring,
On September 29, 1983, a confidential source contacted the FBI with a womans name. The source claimed Paradiso lavished women with jewelry from his victims. This information was establishing an alleged modus operandi, a profile.
September 30, 1983, the confidential source contacted the FBI again with more information about the woman claiming she knew where Joans body was dumped. Note: Joan was technically a missing person. There was no evidence of murder at this point.
On October 3, 1983, Palombo ordered a report from marine inspector David Williams on the boat. Williams examined the boat on the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] and 12[SUP]th[/SUP] and filed a report.
The FBI report dated October 4, 1983, names ADA Tim Burke specifically. He claimed the woman reported by the confidential source was wearing a bracelet identical to Joans missing bracelet. The woman is identified from a photo confiscated in the April 25, 1983, search warrant executed by Palombo in the Iannuzzi case. This was the other item allegedly missing from Joans recovered purse. Current authorities do not have this photograph. To my knowledge, this bracelet was never recovered. The confidential source claimed missing jewelry in both the Iannuzzi and Webster cases. There was no missing jewelry in the Iannuzzi case.
ADA Tim Burke is named in another FBI report dated October 7, 1983. After Burke instigated the bankruptcy fraud charges, SA Steve Broce executed a search warrant on a safety deposit box at the Haymarket Bank. Items confiscated on September 27, 1983 from the box jointly owned by Paradiso and his girlfriend included a silk jewelry pouch that contained a sharks tooth. Burke claimed an unnamed source identified the pouch from a black and white photo as one like Joan kept her pearls in. Palombo claimed in contemporary news accounts that the purse was selected by an unnamed source from several similar items. Current custodians do not have this photograph.
A contemporary account by former Tr. Dave Moran, corroborated my recollection of continued searches at the pier. Moran was an assigned diver who said teams worked in the waters for the next 2 months using special equipment. Moran indicated nothing found furthered the states boat scenario.
During that search period, Burke took his own diver, BPD diver Nick Saggese, to a specific location at the previous mooring area. Burke claimed a confidential source indicated a gun was located in the water. Burkes diver went down and came back up with a realistic looking replica of a .357 magnum on October 20, 1983. The recovery is recorded in testimony during an Iannuzzi pretrial hearing. The item was not submitted to FBI labs like other items from the boat and pier area. Current authorities do not have documentation regarding the gun. Burke claimed Paradiso used the fake gun to force Joan on the boat. Nothing supports the speculation.
On October 28, 1983, Burke submitted an item he described as glass with a hair attached to it to the FBI lab. Unlike other items submitted, there is no detail of where the item was located or when. The lab labeled the item Q38, debris unsuitable for testing. There were not several shards of glass on the boat as Burke and Palombo reported to the media and filed in papers with the court.
As I reviewed recovered documents, confidential, unnamed, and anonymous sources really stood out as a problem. Nothing in records substantiated speculation about evidence items. I will go over all of the evidence, witnesses, and sources in greater detail at a later point.
