>> we worked with the fbi, and the local people, too, to investigate it, and it was difficult to move forward. we just were not making much progress. jim bodman was appointed by the fbi to get to the bottom of this case. >> january of 1983, the head of the fbi office came up to me and laid a paper file on my desk. and he said, "jim, take this case." the justice department, they want to allow us to close a case. and i asked him, i said, "sir, what do you think i'm gonna do with it? i understand everybody's been interviewed three times." he said, "you take this case and you work it." and he used, i think, maybe, a little stronger terminology, but i sure got the message. so, okay, january of '83, i get the case. they, supposedly, kept saying it was a drug case gone bad. it was not a racial case.
