Bruce, Do you happen to know the occupations of Vincent and Edward Badolato?
According to Denise, Vincent G Badolato runs an online golfing attire website, specializing in Argyle knickers. I've seen the website, and it looks pretty snazzy. Vinnie is in his late 80s, and still runs the store, apparently. His son is also named Vincent, I understand. Vincent Sr. has a brother named Ernest.
Denise has told me that she has spoken with several members of the Badolato family and she reports that they say Vincent Sr. has been a bad egg for a long time - criminal activity since the teen years. He was in the Marines and dishonorably discharged, if I recall correctly. He gets no pension from the DoD, according to Denise, and lives off his social security and golfing royalties.
Edward V Badolato is deceased, according to Denise, having died in 2008. However, she says he was a Colonel, and also a high-ranking member of "Homeland Security" in the Bush and Reagan administrations. I have not been able to find any substantive information on Colonel Edward V Badolato at all, but apparently he has given testimony before at least two congressional committees. Further, several of the links that Denise sent to me via email have proven to be vapid - I just get sent to nondescript websites. I've asked her to cut and paste the pertinent information from her sites and send the info to me in an email.
She also says that she has lots of info on Coss from his last interview with GG, but I can't find any of that stuff, either. Talking to Denise is maddening. She doesn't listen particular well, and just wants to use the conversation to tell me what she knows, and all of her pet perspectives. At least Mrs. Cooper would shut up every now and then...
