Wes Hoyt received an unexpected phone call from Arlene Janette Olsen and her husband, Will. Wes arranged to meet her in Boise, Idaho, at the motel where we were staying. We both talked with her for some length of time at that meeting, April 8, 2004. What she told us was shocking. She had been in the employ of Ted Gunderson and overheard a RICO crime in progress. Her affidavit would shatter the prosecution's case and could expose some of the perpetrators.
She talked, not only about her and her husband's employment and their live-in situation with Gunderson, but she told us about a group picture in Ted's home of which she recognized herself as a child. "Ted Gunderson," she said, "was party to a Satan worship ring that her parents had belonged to."
In her Affidavit she said:
"Based upon knowledge, information and belief, Affiant [Arlene] states: The formation of this criminal enterprise can be verified by securing the telephone records of Gunderson, Cook and Harding and by comparing the times and dates of phone conversations between them.
Also, important questions to be answered: Why would Cook call Gunderson? Why would Harding call Gunderson? What is Gunderson's involvement in the David Hinkson case? Why is Gunderson involved in the Hinkson case? Why is Gunderson talking to a witness in that case and coaching him on what to say?"
Arlene and her husband were both fearful but agreed to testify at David's Solicitation Trial. Because of Arlene's knowledge in legal research, Wes hired them, and we housed them for several months. But the middle of the night before they were to testify, they vanished. Since surveillance on every move we made during David's trial was so tight surely they knew where the Olsens were hibernating. They had told us before that they were afraid of government retaliation. Fortunately, we have their Affidavit. The Affidavit was notarized on March 29, 2004, but was sent to us on April 15, 2004.
Arlene Olsen testified as follows:
Having first-hand knowledge of the following facts regarding Theodore Lee Gunderson aka Ted L. Gunderson (hereinafter 'Gunderson') . . . I state the facts as I know and understand them to exist, and I do so to the best of my knowledge, information and belief affirm that the facts contained herein are true, correct and certain to the best of my knowledge. And I do affirm [this] by telling the truth, under penalty of perjury pursuant to Title 28 U.S.C. §1746(1), in the matter regarding the events described herein relative to Ted L. Gunderson, located at 750 Royal Crest Circle, Apt 258, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89109, and Nancy Cook of Idaho and J.C. Harding.
Affiant [Janette Olsen] is making this Affidavit of Affiant's own free will, and in a timely manner and in good faith, acne pro tune, for the reason that to delay would repudiate Affiant's good cause.
Facts: Affiant to the best of her knowledge, information and belief states the following:
(1) On or about October 17, 2003 Affiant and her husband (hereinafter 'Husband') entered into a business agreement with Gunderson wherein Gunderson agreed to provide certain services during an interim business development phase. One of the services Gunderson was to provide was a dwelling space for Affiant and husband during this interim time. Affiant and husband stayed with Gunderson for about 17.6 weeks–at the end of that time Gunderson breached the agreement, and Affiant and husband departed.
The nature of the agreement is confidential; however, an interim part of the agreement was that Affiant would in the meantime voluntarily provide administrative and secretarial services specifically regarding Gunderson's verbal and written attacks on the corruption of the U.S. Government and their agencies.
(2) On or about November 20, 2003, Affiant was eating breakfast on a TV tray in the living room of Gunderson's condo in Las Vegas, watching television with Gunderson's roommate, a semi-invalid woman named Anna May Newman [hereinafter 'May'] when Gunderson's telephone rang. As is the custom at the Gunderson's household, May answered the telephone for Gunderson. May picked up the cordless phone receiver that had been placed especially on a fold-out secretary beside the chair where May normally then said the name of the caller out loud: "Nancy!"
Gunderson picked up his receiver located on his desk in his work area, located where the dining room would normally be located. The dining room is a three solid walled nook that opens into the living room area, and it serves as Gunderson's primary work area in the condo.
Gunderson began immediately talking to Nancy. Affiant inadvertently overheard the Gunderson side of a telephone conversation between Nancy and Gunderson.
(a) After a few moments had passed, Affiant beard Gunderson tell the caller, "Please excuse me. I thought you were another Nancy, but you're a Nancy I haven't heard from in years."
(b) Gunderson spoke to this Nancy for about five minutes. After Gunderson hung up the telephone, he was annoyed and upset at what had happened, and he scolded May for not telling him Nancy's last name, and in the strongest way possible chastised her and then told her that in future to give him the first and the last name of each caller.
He further explained to May that he was awaiting a very important telephone call from "Nancy Cook" and stated that he'd been embarrassed when he'd discovered that he had told this other Nancy confidential things that he was supposed to tell only to Nancy Cook.
(3) On or about November 22, 2003, Affiant, Affiant's Husband and May were seated in the living room watching TV while Gunderson was working at his desk. The telephone rang and May answered. She carefully called out loud the name, "Nancy Cook," and Affiant could hear in her voice the fact that she was proud of her achievement in giving both first and last names of this caller to Gunderson. Affiant did not pay attention to this conversation since she did not know who Nancy Cook was, and the conversation did not seem to be relevant to any work Affiant was currently doing for Gunderson.
(4) On or about November 23, 2003, Affiant was working in Gunderson's back office at Affiant's computer. This office is a converted bedroom located down a 15-foot corridor leading away from the combined living/dining room.
(a) Affiant heard May laboriously walking with her walking cane down the hall way, and then Affiant stepped into the corridor in order to see what was going on.
(b) When May saw Affiant, May handed Affiant the cordless telephone she was carrying and breathlessly asked Affiant to see that Gunderson took the call immediately, as Gunderson was in the bathroom. May explained that the call was from "Nancy Cook" and that Gunderson was waiting for it.
(c) Affiant took the cordless receiver and knocked on the bathroom door, then called out to Gunderson, "Nancy Cook is on the phone."
(d) Gunderson immediately came out of the bathroom and grabbed the telephone receiver from Affiant, then returned to his work area in the dining room.
(e) Affiant was intrigued at this event because Affiant was acting as Gunderson's administrative assistant. And as such Affiant felt it her duty to know who Gunderson's important callers were so she could keep track of the things Gunderson was working on. And thereby help Gunderson in a more efficient manner to get caught-up on his six week backlog of correspondence, calls and projects as well as to help Gunderson establish a sound office operation for the future.
Affiant now recognized that in some way Nancy Cook was relevant to Gunderson's work, and as a result of this realization, Affiant began to pay attention to anything related to Nancy Cook. In furtherance of Affiant's goal to assist Gunderson, Affiant paid attention to the conversation as May completed typing letters for Gunderson in the back office and listened attentively for the next fifteen or twenty minutes as Gunderson spoke to "Nancy Cook."
