The Finders were an infamous CIA-connected cult involved in child trafficking. In February 1987, two men from the Finders bringing six children with them were arrested in a Tallahassee park on child abuse charges. All of the children were filthy and unkempt, and they told police that they only got food "as a reward". The men were arrested, and it would later be found that two children had signs of sexual abuse.

Because the Finders men were from DC, Tallahassee police suspected an interstate child abuse network, so they contacted the US Customs service. USCS began a joint investigation with the DC MPD, raiding the Finders warehouse and finding evidence of child porn, Satanic worship, importation of children, and terrorist connections. However, the investigation was then shut down by the CIA.

Many people have seen the US Customs report, which tells this story. But to my knowledge, nobody has acquired the Tallahassee PD documents until now. One of my friends did a public records request for me and uploaded them here.

There are many noteworthy documents in here:

• 17.jpg: Why are the Finders men in Tallahassee, who are transporting 6 children with them, carrying a pack of Trojan condoms?

• 39.jpg: HRS investigators say that two children have signs of sexual abuse

• 25.jpg: Mary, one of the children, became very apprehensive and uncomfortable when asked about sexual abuse

• 29.jpg: The Finders warehouse had a library of books, some concerning mind control

• 67.jpg: An unconvincing denial that the goat sacrifices were a Satanic ritual

• 68.jpg: Finders women say that the children get to eat whenever they're hungry, but the children themselves had earlier told police they only got food as a reward. The police investigator makes no note of this discrepancy.

• 71.jpg: Case is closed with absolutely no mention of the sexual abuse finding by HRS

• 64.jpg: The two Finders men were instructed, over the Finders' computer network, about a cover story to use if they were stopped by police. Why, if they were doing something totally innocuous, would they expect to be stopped by the police?

• 18.jpg: Why were the Finders men carrying a Chinese-English dictionary with them? There are strange connections to China elsewhere in the TPD report and in the US Customs report. Apparently, one of the Finders children learned to count to 10 in Chinese from a Chinese man at the warehouse (who the USCS report also talks about), and there are mentions of Finders members going/fleeing to China later in the report. Also, the US Customs report on the Finders mentioned that children were being ordered from a contact in Hong Kong.

• 26.jpg: One time around Christmas, the women came downstairs naked in front of the children

• 30.jpg: Doug Ammerman, one of the Finders men arrested, responded to a letter from his brother with two strange letters. One, containing the letterhead of "Gung-Ho Traders" in DC, said Ammerman was en-route from Hawaii to China. The other was a letter addressed to "Mrs. Ammerman" (unclear whether it's Doug's mother or wife, probably the former), describing Doug's genitals and thanking her for having such a stud for a son, signed "wives of Gung-Ho".

• 47.jpg: Lt. Lee Hart of the Culpepper VA police was familiar with the Finders, and heard from an informant inside the cult that Marion Pettie (leader of the cult) told the cult members to flee and hide, and that Pettie himself would probably go to Andrews AFB and take a military plane to China. Again, there's that weird China connection, and why would Pettie take a military plane unless he had government connections?

• 48.jpg: A San Francisco police officer contacts the Tallhasee PD, stating that a "local pager" (unsure what that is) printed an article saying that San Francisco was involved in the Finders case. The Presidio sex abuse case, involving Lt. Col. Michael Aquino, was taking place in San Francisco around this time.
