Zeigler, Part VII
Vicki Harley Holland has a website about Tommy Zeigler. It is called “Prayers for Tommy.” She commented on my previous posting “This post will be written by you.” In it, she refers to “Fatal Flaw” by Phillip Finch, the book I also recommend.
In the middle of her website, near the top, you see “Letters from the Daughter of the Police Chief who arrested Tommy” with two links. These links show you two letter written by Christine Thompson, the daughter of the now deceased law enforcement officer Robert Thompson, the former Oakland Chief of Police.
She mentions the police report by her father that was lost for many years until it was “re-discovered” in the 90s. Most websites will only give you one or maybe two pages from the report. Many do not have all the pages.
Vidocq does and is posting “the Buried Thompson Police Report” here in its entirety.
