DRAET“horodise3 is:04 Fron Qi vows SEGRET ov @ P02 “ DRAET Based on information received from an MPD soure: authorities in Florida, the MPD contacted AUSA jwho advised that search warrants for the known Washington, addresses were appropriate under Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1201 (Kidnapping). Subsequently, a representative of the MPD prepared an affidavit and search warrants were obtained fron Magistrate Dwyer in the U.S, District Court for the premises at 3918-3920 W. Street, N.W., and 1307 4th Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. SEARCH WARRANTS # On 2/5-6/87, search warrants were executed for the premises at 3916-20 W. Street, N.W., and 1307 4th Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. by members of the MPD Intelligence Division. During the execution of the search warrants, no children were found. Large amounts of biographical information concerning the Finders was obtained along with computers, software and photographs. All of this information was subsequently turned over to the Florida authorities for evaluation. ¢ ‘The MPD case file does not contain a copy of the search warrants nor a listing of specific items seized during the execution of search warrants on 2/5/87 and 2/6/87 at the Finders Group properties at 1307 4th Street, NE, and 3918/3920 W. Street, WW, Washington, D.c. Although a report dated 2/26/87 indicates that copies of documents seized during the execution of search warrants were provided to authorities in Florida, and that evidence held in the custody of the mobile crime lab would be released to representatives of the Finders, no documentation was found in the file which reflected the present status of any items seized during these searches.

Representatives of the MPD travelled to Tallahassee, Florida to conduct interviews and to obtain information from the Tallahassee Police Department. An MPD "overview report" dated 4/13/87 reported that the former members of the Finders group indicated that the Finders "organization began as an alternative life style in the 1960's and many of them became disenchanted with the asi~ order under the direct superyiston> be Many of the former members stated that they fearec 7c retribution from the Finders organization..." The overview report also noted that the family members of six children had been interviewed and they had stated that : had brainwashed their children, and prevented any contact with their children.or grandchildren. Members of the Finders, according to family members would stop any contact by sending letters describing explicit sexual acts involving current members, including photographs and drawings..." ‘The information obtained from the children and the authorities in Tallahassee, Florida reflected that the children had not verbalized any complaints of sexual abuse.

The primary guidance sought concerned the interview of the children identified in Tallahassee, Florida, as potential victims of members of the Finders. Eventually it was decided that because the children in question did not appear to have been kidnapped in violation of federal statutes, the interviews of the children would be conducted by local police from Washington, D.C. and Florida.

The two subjects were arrested after a complaint was made that six children were playing in a park seemed to be unkept and neglected. The two subjects with the children could not initially provide sufficient information as to their legal custody of the children and were uncooperative regarding their identity or the children identity. After the subjects were arrested TPD obtained information from the children that they were from the Washington, D. C. area. TPD and FBI Jacksonville contacted the Youth Services Division in Washington, D. Cc. in an effort to further identify the children. The FBI got involved in the investigation at this time due to the possibility that the children had been kidnaped. The vehicle registration records for a van the men had in their posses: registered to al bs b7c A joint investigation by the Washington Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation lead to the identification and interview of the mothers of the six children in question, two of the fathers, and several other key members of the "finders" group. All persons interviewed claimed their group consisted of an alternate communal type life style made up of intellectuals who have chosen to live the way they do. ‘The mothers were all aware that the children had been taken to Florida on a trip, they were familiar with and thoroughly trusted the men in whose care the children had been placed, and all insisted the children were well cared for. On 2/18/87, The United States Attorneys Office, WDC, declined prosection in this matter for the violation of Usc, Title 18, Sections 1201 and 1251.Subjects were released from the custody of the TPD on 3/17/67, and all charges against them were dropped.

Burgasser to Acting Assistant attorney General John C. Keeney, Criminal Division, Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. and information obtained from the records of the Washington Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), and the U.S. Customs Service (USCS). These excerpts provide the details of this investigation and are the basis of the Department of Justice's request that the FBI conduct a preliminary investigation to determine if more comprehensive investigation is warranted. On February 4, 1987, the Tallahassee Police Department (‘TPD), Tallahassee, Florida, responded to a complaint that a well-dressed white male was seen in a park with several unkempt children. The TPD spoke with the adult male who told them that he was a Washington, D.C., school teacher who together with another adult male was in the process of taking the children to Mexico. The purpose of the trip was to set up a school for brilliant children in Mexico. The male refused to provide additional information about the children, and the second male refused to provide any information about himself. The Police arrested the two men after they determined that the children seemed neglected and the two men could not provide sufficient information as to their legal c The TPD contacted U.S. Customs (USC) and continued their investigation by attempting to ascertain whether a van in which the two men and children were travelling could provide any additional leads as to the identities of the men or children. On February 5, 1987, a U.S Customs Special Agent (USCSA) in Tallahassee, Florida, called USC Headquarters (USCHQ) asking if they could assist in contacting an appropriate local police agency to coordinate a child abuse investigation with the TPD. Additionally, several names, addresses, and a vehicle identification number were checked through the USC child pornography database, as there was some suspicion of the two males being involved in supplying children for the production of child pornography. The computer checks by USC were negative. b6 pycSubsequently, USCHQ, Washington, D.c., contacted Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), and determined that they were interested in the information, and ‘that search warrants were being considered for two addresses in the District of Columbia. MPD invited the USC to observe the execution of the search warrants in the event that evidence of Usc violations was recovered. Search warrants were prepared by the United States Attorney's office, District of Columbia, for both the warehouse and residence.
