EXPERIENCE:
1981 to present -
CHIEF INVESTIGATOR
Involved in many standard issue court cases, as well as many celebrated and extremely newsworthy and
newsworthy and controversial cases involving criminal and heavy civil litigation.
Among these was the recovery of a child who had been abducted from his legal guardian, his father in California, and was aired on the television show "Adam" on the original debut. This child was kidnaped from his father in Chicago, Ill. by his mother which the court ordered her to never have contact with, subsequently he was used in Voodoo Ceremonies in Central Louisiana by his mother and other family members. The child was ultimately located with many violent confrontations with family members but reunited with his father and returned to Chicago where he lived, thus allowing the authorities to prosecute his biological mother who had kidnaped him.
Other cases included: The twin engine airplane crash of the Caddo Parish Tax Assessor, Mr. Charles Henington. A Cessna 411-A crashed after take off killing all six members on board. Mr. Henington was en route to a meeting with the Governor of Louisiana in Baton Rouge at the time. Cause factor and Aerial forensic evidence provided to the court system assisted in the large settlement which was provided to the surviving families of the victims.
The Hank Pinchera-Cheryl Harris murder trial which lasted three years and three months. This incident occurred in North Caddo Parish and a fire fighter which was accused of the rape and strangulation death of his sister-in-law. After a long period of time, the chief prosecutor for the State of Louisiana dismissed the charges against the client due to the lack of evidence.
The David Woodcock murder trial which was the first murder ever committed on Barksdale Air Force Base and prosecuted by the federal authorities in Monroe, Louisiana. The conclusion of the case was that the individual was not guilty of the Murder, but he was charged with conspiracy given the fact he assisted in hiring the professional hit man from Florida. The wife in the case was never convicted nor served one day in jail for her part. Physical and Emotional abuse was the key factor in her release.
The Sharon Crosby -vs- The Boy Scouts of America, this case, which involved a Scout Master accused of sexually harassing and sexually abusing young scouts, had perpetrated the crime for quite some time in a Boy Scout Troop located in Northwest Louisiana. Our involvement in the case was instrumental in aiding the prosecution to obtain a conviction. The repercussions to the case for the B.S.A. was an extremely large settlement which the families were provided with after the case.
The James Monds murder trial which was highly publicized in North Louisiana as well as being featured on "60 Minutes." James Monds was accused and convicted of the stabbing death and mutilation of Vicki Thomas. The individual was exonerated after spending seven (7) years in the Louisiana State Prison, Angola, and the case is presently in litigation against the State of Louisiana at this time for wrongful prosecution.
A highly controversial Toxic Waste Dump Litigation in Bossier City, Louisiana which was started in December of 1986 and is still ongoing. This case involved as many as 2,000 people which were contaminated from the incorrect disposal of the toxic waste. In 1990 much work was done on The Alexis' Park Toxic Waste problem which has taken a number of years to work. The action is now in the Western District Court under a Class Action status. This is one of two Waste Sites investigated in the Shreveport / Bossier City area during the past 10 years. The other case was The Lincoln Creosote Plant waste site. This was a disposal question which has placed in the Western District Court of Louisiana as well.
These cases, along with several hundred more unusual, along with the normal workings of Child Custody, Domestic Actions, Location of Missing Family members, etc. provide the experience and background that has aided Mr. Malpass and provided experience and capability in the research and investigation of several phases of the investigative field.
