| WILLIAM COOPER Was It MURDER? Mary Sutherland 12-18-04 Alan Eisenberg Show WLIP 1050 AM Todays Show brought to light the unsolved mystery behind the death of William Cooper. Bill Cooper died in a 'reported' gun battle with the Apache County Sheriffs Department in the White Mountains of Arizona. Evidence now coming forward indicates that the deputies report concerning Coopers death may have been falsified to coverup the cold blooded assassination of Bill Cooper by these Apache County Deputies. Craig M. Pradarelli, former 20 years plus veteran licensed private detective. determined, after reviewing the autopsy report, that Cooper was shot in the head at a distance of no more than 3 feet. He drew this conclusion based on the stippling . The bullet entered through the area of the ear and then proceeded to travel "downwards", indicating the shooter may have been standing 'over' Cooper Cooper was 6 ft. 2 inches and may have been in a kneeling position when he received this shot. Craig found it interesting that the shot to the head was done before a shot to the heart as there was a geat deal of subarachnoid hematoma. He determined that the heart had to have been pumping for sometime for this to have occured. One of the other shots took out both the left and right ventricles of the heart. Many seconds, after the head shot. Craig's credentials are as follows : Defense Investigator since 1980. Founding Member of the Professional Association of Wisconsin Licensed Investigator 2 terms Board of Directors, 1 term Secretary Vice President of Operations Great Lakes Loss Prevention, (Security & Investigative Firm) Worked over 500 homicide cases.

| William Cooper - An unsolved mystery still lies behind the real events that took place during a shoot out battle between Bill Cooper and White Mountains Apache County Sheriff's Depart. The autopsy report and deputies report does not jive and recently a 20 year homicide detective veteran , Craig Pradarelli, has been reviewing this case. Following is his determination based off the autopsy report which he sent me. Mary Sutherland An hour long interview with Craig is available on http://www.willimacooper.com This covers the autopsy analysis in detail. I spent the entire hour with the host discussing the results of the autopsy. The death is due, no one disputes this, to gun shot wound. There are a number of wound which could have killed him. But most definately the GSW which took out both ventricles of the heart. At that point there was nothing anyone could have done for him. The GSW to the head was arguably survivable, but doubtful. |

| PRESS RELEASE FROM SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT Details are still sketchy on what caused the Cooper shootout on November 5, 2001, but a fax sent from the Apache County Sheriff's office sheds some more light on the subject. William Cooper was fatally wounded during a late night gunfight. Contrary to what was reported earlier, it was not a SWAT raid, but a simple confrontation between police and Cooper. One Apache County deputy, Robert Martinez was critically wounded in the exchange. Here's what we know so far: According to the Sheriff's report, several deputies were positioned outside the Cooper residence to serve a warrant for Aggravated Assault and two counts of endangerment. Cooper had stated numerous times in the past that he would not surrender to law enforcement via his website and shortwave radio. Obviously, law enforcement took him seriously. The showdown began at approximately 12:15 pm local time. After leaving his residence in his vehicle, the report states that Cooper confronted plain clothed deputies a short distance away. "As Cooper drove back to his residence, deputies attempted to stop him using a fully marked patrol vehicle to block the driveway. Cooper refused to stop or comply with verbal orders by the deputies", according to the report. Cooper then drove around the patrol car to evade the arrest, and the report stated that he tried to run over one of the deputies en route back to his residence. Cooper was then followed a short distance to his residence where this time he was confronted by uniformed deputies. "After refusing once again to comply with the deputies orders, Cooper exited his vehicle and began running toward the house, firing shots with a handgun toward the deputies", the report said. No where in the report did it mention that Cooper only had one leg - the other lost in combat long ago. Cooper died on the scene. When Deputy Martinez took a head shot, officers returned fire, the report said. According to the Sheriff's office, "the surgery on Martinez went well" , but the condition is still critical. There was a positive history written up about Martinez in the report, but nothing positive about Cooper, of course. Deputy Marinez has served as a law enforcement officer for 4 years and was serving as a tactical officer at the time of the shooting. His experience also includes patrol and criminal investigation. Deputy Marinez is 40 years old and has served as a United States Marine during Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Deputy Marinez is married with three children. |
| William Cooper Killed in SWAT Raid A Sierra Times Special Report From his Website: "...God bless my family. I love my wife & children more than life itself. Everything I do is for the future of all my children. They may not understand why I have sacrificed so much, why I am so dedicated to this work; but someday they will. I want them to know they are the most important People in my life, and how very, very much I love them..." - William Cooper EAGAR, AZ - William Cooper has been killed and an Apache County sheriff's deputy wounded in a shootout, authorities said. William Milton Cooper, 58, of Eager, had hosted a talk show broadcast on the Worldwide Christian Radio out of Nashville, which receives it via phone from his home in St. Johns. The deputy, whose name was being withheld by authorities, was shot twice in the head while trying to arrest Cooper, a state Department of Public Safety spokesman said today. Cooper was killed by another officer. Several deputies were attempting to arrest Cooper, who was armed with a handgun, said Officer Steve Volden, a spokesman for the DPS, which was investigating the shooting. He said details of the shooting would be released later today. The deputy was in critical condition at a Phoenix hospital early today, Volden said. Cooper was one of the most widely known Shortwave radio broadcast, "the Hour of the Time", heard worldwide and on the Internet. "William Cooper may be one of America's greatest heroes and this story may be the biggest story in the history of the world." said Mills Crenshaw, KTALK, Salt Lake City. William Cooper was reared in an Air Force family. As a child he lived in many different countries, graduating from Yamato High School in Japan. Since he has traveled through or lived in many different foreign countries Mr. Cooper has a world view much different than most Americans. William served with the Strategic Air Command, United States Air Force. He held a secret clearance working on B-52 bombers, KC-135 refueling aircraft, and Minuteman missiles. William received his Honorable Discharge from the United States Air Force in 1965. William joined the United States Navy fulfilling a dream previously frustrated by chronic motion sickness. He served aboard the submarine USS Tiru (SS-416), USS Tombigbee (AOG-11), Naval Support Activity Danang RVN, Naval Security and Intelligence Camp Carter RVN, Danang Harbor Patrol RVN, Dong Ha River Security Group RVN, USS Charles Berry (DE-1035), Headquarters Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet, USS Oriskany (CVA-34). Cooper was a member of the Office of Naval Security and Intelligence serving as a Harbor and River Patrol Boat Captain at Danang and the Dong Ha River Security Group, Cua Viet, Republic of Vietnam. William Cooper was awarded several medals for his leadership and heroism during combat including two with "V" for Valor. He served on the Intelligence Briefing Team for the Commander In Chief of the Pacific Fleet.

William Cooper received an Honorable Discharge from the United States Navy on December 11, 1975. William attended Long Beach City College where he picked up an Associate of Science Degree in Photography. He founded the Absolute Image Studio and Gallery of Fine Art Photography in Long Beach, California. William held the position of Executive Director of Adelphi Business College, Pacific Coast Technical Institute, and National Technical College. Mr. Cooper was the National Marketing Coordinator for National Education and Software. He produced several documentaries covering subjects such as the Kennedy assassination and secret black projects that have built flying disk shaped craft. William is an internationally acclaimed radio personality broadcasting the Hour Of The Time on WBCQ worldwide short-wave 7.415 MHz from 10 PM until 11 PM Eastern Standard Time (0300 to 0400 UTC) Monday through Thursday nights. William Cooper is the author of Behold A Pale Horse. The book has become the best selling underground book of all time. It is read and promoted by word of mouth by People of all races, religions, and nationalities. Mr. Cooper is a world class lecturer, one of the few other than superstars, monarchs, and Popes who have appeared at Wembly in London. William Cooper has lectured for 10 years in every State. William Cooper, Trustee, has founded for Harvest Trust, the CAJI News Service, VERITAS national full size newspaper, The Intelligence Service, Harvest Publications, and has helped over 700 low power FM affiliate stations get equipped and on the air... including the station he managed as Trustee for the Independence Foundation Trust, 101.1 FM Eagar, Arizona, broadcasting to 7,000 people. Under his leadership Harvest Trust ventured into the publishing trade. The first book under the Harvest Trust imprint was Oklahoma City: Day One by Michele Marie Moore... the definitive classic on the Oklahoma City bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. Shortly after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building Rush Limbaugh read a White House memo on the air during his broadcast which named William Cooper, "...the most dangerous radio host in America". Mr. Cooper considers William Clinton's pronouncement the greatest compliment that he has ever received. William Cooper's FBI file, promulgated by the investigation required by his security clearances while in military service, was one of those unlawfully in possession of the White House in what has become known as, "Filegate". Shortly after this discovery President Clinton ordered all federal agencies to begin investigation, persecution, and prosecution of Mr. Cooper to shut him up. After years of filing FOIA requests and researching the IRS William Cooper brought suit against the IRS in Federal District Court in Phoenix Arizona to force the IRS to produce proof of jurisdiction and delegation of authority which the IRS was unable to do. To short circuit Mr. Cooper's attempt to reveal the true nature of the criminal IRS, and to carry out the orders of the White House, the agency lied to a Grand Jury, not allowing William Cooper to testify, and secured indictments against Mr. Cooper and his wife Annie. This ploy successfully stopped Mr. Cooper from continuing his suit against the criminal IRS for fear of being arrested.

| Bill Cooper.. Another Version by Sheriffs Department In 1998, the Federal government had several outstanding warrants for Cooper and his wife for tax evasion and bank fraud. On his website, Cooper began posting daily updates on the activities of federal agents as they attempted to serve the warrants. The Feds had to act cautiously as the highly-publicised debacles of Waco, Texas and Ruby Ridge, Idaho, were prominent in the minds of officials and the watching public. Cooper’s Asian wife Annie and two daughters had left the United States in June 2000; Cooper claimed he sent them away for their own safety. Fearing that he too might soon be under siege, Cooper used his radio broadcasts and website to remind everyone about these tragedies, which had ended in the deaths of the Branch Davidians and Vicky Weaver and son at the hands of the FBI. He also used these platforms to reiterate his intention to use lethal force on anyone who trespassed on his property, including law enforcement officers who might "attempt to serve illegal warrants." And so, in November 2001, it came to an explosive end. Cooper spotted a man driving past his home and for some reason ran out of his house, jumped in his car and drove after the man to make him pull over. Cooper threatened him at gunpoint. It transpired that the man was a local doctor; he waited till Cooper left then contacted the police, who issued a warrant against Cooper for "aggravated assault with a deadly weapon." Apparently sensing Cooper’s mental disintegration, the local authorities convinced the Federal authorities to back off to prevent a possible tragedy. However, they were also convinced that Cooper presented a real threat to the community; he was known to be heavily armed. They decided on a ruse to arrest Cooper by luring him out of his house. The plan involved deputy sheriffs in civilian clothes pretending to be teenagers on a lark in a pickup truck, driving around Cooper’s home at midnight; uniformed officers would wait out of sight nearby. The plan worked; but instead of approaching the pickup truck on foot, Cooper jumped into his car and chased them. The police then identified themselves and ordered him to surrender. Instead, Cooper pulled out an automatic pistol, jumped back into his car and raced back to his house. When a police car attempted to block his way, he swerved around it and tried to run down an officer. Pulling up to his door, he jumped out, pistol in hand. Uniformed officers again ordered him to surrender. Cooper refused and began firing. Deputy Robert Marinez – a 40-year-old former Marine Corps veteran of Desert Storm and father of three children – was struck in the head. Officers returned fire, killing Cooper. At last report, Deputy Marinez was in critical condition at a Trauma Unit in Phoenix, Arizona. On 15 November, a memorial service was held for Cooper at the Jewkes Mortuary in Eagar, Arizona. |
