*'''Danny Casolaro''' – August 10, 1991. Investigative reporter. Investigating [[Mena Airport]] , the [[Arkansas Development Finance Authority]], [[Iran-Contra]], and the [[BCCI]]. Casolaro was nearing the end of his project and told friends he was about to publish something really big. He told the same friends he was recieving death threats and if something happened to him it would be no accident. He was found dead in the bathtub of a hotel, officially ruled a suicide, having slit his wrists 12 times so deep it cut the tendons. After killing himself, he evidentlly removed his research files and manuscript from the room, as well.<ref>http://www.umsl.edu/~thomaskp/com.htm </ref>

This was happening at the same time as the clandestine gun running operation to supply the Nicaraguan Contras with weapons from Mena, Arkansas under the protection of then-governor Bill Clinton. The arming of the Contras was funded by smuggling [[narcotic]]s and laundered through various banks, land flips, and a state agency, the Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA) created by [[Webster Hubbell ]] and signed into law by Bill Clinton.
