What has proven the single most vexing matter I have ever investigated?  


Read my article - "THE HUNT FOR MENGELE'S SUITCASE" - in the summer issue of Stay Thirsty Magazine 

"For thirty-two years I have unsuccessfully tried to solve the riddle of what happened to a briefcase stuffed with medical notes and lab specimens belonging to Auschwitz's Angel of Death, Dr. Josef Mengele. There is no better illustration that no matter how great a journalist's resolve and commitment, some issues stubbornly refuse to be wrapped up with a tidy final chapter."
