CRIME SCENE, LAPD-style

[Robert C. Miller]

Speaking of the CIA, Doug Haire, did you know that Captain Constance
Dial, highest-ranking uniformed cop at the Bundy scene, worked for the
CIA years ago? What a coincidence!

Under her maiden name, I'm not sure of the spelling but it's something
like Malazzo, she worked for a CIA-funded newspaper in Italy, spreading
propaganda. Then she came to LA, where she got into the LAPD's
intelligence units. She was named as one of the worst offenders of
citizens' constitutional rights and named as one of the reasons that
regulations about LAPD's spying were tightened. The fellow Dial was an
intelligence officer for both the LAPD and the FBI's COINTELPRO. At the
time I think that was against the law. Here's something from Freed's
book, so I'm sure you won't believe it:

March 1, 1996: The LOS ANGELES TIMES reported a new scandal in a story
headlined "LAPD Drug OFficer Being Investigated." The charge involved
the Field Enforcement Section of the LAPD Narcotics Group. This unit
was under the command of Captain Constance Dial--who had been one of
thsoe in charge of the Bundy crime scene on June 12, 1994. The story
began: "Authorities fear detectives may have lied on court
documents..." On the same day, another story in the same paper is
headlined: Deputy Accused of Planting Evidence Surrenders.
