Dec. 27, 1993, WASHINGTON D.C., U. S. News and World Report, “’Through a Glass, Very Darkly’: Cops, Spies and a Very Odd Investigation”

Overview: This news article cites that the Justice Dept. was reinvestigating the Finders case and that some of the unresolved questions were allegations that the Finders Group were linked to the Central Intelligence Agency and they wanted to know whether or not the investigation into their activity had been closed inappropriately. “The many unanswered questions about the Finders case now have Democratic Rep. Charlie Rose of North Carolina, Chairman of the House Administration Committee, and Florida’s Rep. Tom Lewis, a Republican, more than a little exercised. Could our own government have something to do with this Finders organization and turned their backs on these children? That’s what all the evidence points to,” says Lewis, and there’s a lot of evidence.”… “Law enforcement sources say some of the Finders are listed in the FBI’s classified counterintelligence files.”

As background, in early Feb. 1987, six children were taken into custody in Tallahassee, Florida. Two men were charged with child abuse, but charges were dropped. The men said they were transporting these children to Mexico to a school for brilliant children. Their mothers were located in a group called the Finders. At the same time, Washington, D.C., police and U.S. Customs Service agents raided a duplex apartment building and a warehouse connected to the group.

Customs Reports dated 2/12/87 and 4/13/87 cite that among the evidence seized were detailed instructions about obtaining children for unknown purposes around the world, child trafficking, instructions to keep the above six children moving, and how to avoid detection. There were several photographs of nude children that appeared to “accent” the child’s genitals, photographs of children involved in animal rituals, an altar, jars of urine and feces, and a staging area, all of which appeared to the Custom’s Agents as an “indoctrination” center. Custom’s agents were told to drop their investigation because it had become a “CIA internal matter” a fact which is documented in the Custom’s documents.

According to U.S. District court records, a confidential police source reported that the Finders were a “cult” that used “brainwashing” techniques. The source told of being recruited by the Finders with promises of financial reward, sexual gratification, and of being invited by to explore satanism with them.

Officials of the U.S. Customs Service, called in to aid in the investigation, said that the material seized included photos showing children involved in bloodletting ceremonies, of animals, and one photograph of a child in chains. Customs officials said they were looking into whether a child pornography operation was being conducted. See Officials Describe ‘Cult Rituals’ in Child Abuse Case,” The Washington Post, Feb. 7, 1987

December 14, 1992, THE STATE OF TEXAS vs. PHIL STANLEY ROGERS; CASE NO. 18, 738, Charged and Pleaded guilty to "Indecency with a Child, Younger than 17 years, Committed During the Course of a Ritual." Jury sentence – 99 years.

Overview: Court documents and a news article state that Phil Stanley Rogers plead guilty to Indecency with a Child during the course of a Ritual. The rituals began with the purchase of a Ouija board. Items taken as evidence included books covering Satanic topics, pentagram symbols, candles, daggers and wands. An Abilene Police specialist on the occult explained how the items were used to gain “power and control.” The 15 year old victim, a relative of the defendant, cried as she testified that the rituals began with the purchase of a Ouija board, chanting, and meditation were next. See “Man Admits Indecency with Child During Course of a Satanic Ritual,” Abilene Reporter News, Dec. 15, 1992 Note: Mr. Rogers was convicted under a ritual abuse law that was in the Texas penal code in 1992 but it has since been rescinded.

April 29, 1992, IN THE MATTER OF THE WELFARE of J. M. P., COURT OF APPEALS OF MINNESOTA, 1992 Minn. App. LEXIS 436, Termination of Parental Rights Affirmed.

Overview: Appellate documents state the mother of J. M. P, Sharon Pieske, challenged the trials court’s termination of her parental rights. The court noted that her past included "years of sexual and physical abuse, parental neglect, early and long-standing addiction to numerous drugs, serious mental health problems, and involvement in a Satanic cult." Her child was taken into custody after two hospitalizations due to overdosing. The mother was involved in four incidents, three involving criminal convictions, which caused harm to the children, including J.M.P. The child was enuretic, periodically preoccupied with themes of violence and bodily injury, and her “disorder is not curable.” The mother tried to commit suicide, and was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
