William Klaber is a part-time journalist who lives with his wife Jean in upstate New York. In 1990 he joined a group of researchers who were going through the newly opened LAPD files concerning the murder of Robert Kennedy who had been murdered in Los Angeles in 1968 moments after winning the California presidential primary. A young gunman, Sirhan Sirhan, was caught at the scene, but despite of the seeming open and shut nature of the case, the police files were kept secret. Why?

What the researchers found answered that question, and in 1992 the group filed a formal Request to the LA County Grand Jury asking for a special prosecutor to investigate the LAPD for “willful and corrupt misconduct” in its investigation of the Kennedy murder. The ...more

I just finished the Crimetown 13 "RFK Tapes" podcasts. Stuart-Pontier took a very odd, illogical turn at the end away from the persuasive body of evidence that Sirhan Sirhan did not act alone. I look forward to reading Shadow Play; I had always assumed the dominant narrative that Sirhan acted alone was the truth, but now I'm convinced that something else was afoot. Is your original NPR documentary available?

William Klaber Cynthia, Thanks. Yes the sudden turn by my supposed partner was shocking, and I don't really know the reason for it. It's very clear from many sources…moreCynthia, Thanks. Yes the sudden turn by my supposed partner was shocking, and I don't really know the reason for it. It's very clear from many sources that 13 shots were fired, which means a second gun. If this is true, then the whole Sirhan as the crazed loner is false, and the police covered up the crime, destroying evidence and bullying witnesses. Please do read Shadow Play and I'd love to hear from you afterwards. If I had your e-mail address I think I could send you a copy of the original RFK Tapes. Regards, Bill(less)

First Steps on the Rocky Road to Equal Pay

One of the enduring images of last year’s election was that of Lilly Ledbetter standing before the Democrat Convention and telling about her fight against Goodyear Tire for paying her less than her male peers. She won her case on the merits, but then the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against her saying that she should have filed her suit within 180 days of the f Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by William Klaber (?)

“We had been given flowers, good food, and a soft bed, all in exchange for declaring our love. I thought we might go from town to town and marry in each one.”
