Friends, relatives sought for 97 Jonestown victims

A very valuable historical resource pertaining to the destruction of the Peoples Temple settlement at Jonestown, Guyana on or about Nov. 18, 1978 can be found in the weekly publication, the Baltimore Afro-American, founded in 1892. Utilizing staff writers as well as a more pointed version of the UPI, the uniquely black perspective addresses what would seem to be fairly obvious issues, and concerns that are absent from the more mainstream media.

The difference in sensibility is often striking, and a collection of AFRO articles which I've begun to assemble here, hold rich veins of irreconcilable detail which will only add to the dross of the improbable official story, prospected at the highest levels of the United States government, then sold us by its fourth estate.

First appearing on Dec. 17, 1978, in at least one newspaper, after being made available to the UPI by the State Department, and republished here on Jan. 6, 1979, or 48 days or so after the tragic events in South America, was a sublist of victims with a plaintive angle: "Friends, relatives sought for 97 Jonestown victims." Purporting that

The U.S. State Department is seeking the next of kin or friends of 97 Jonestown murder-suicide victims who have been positively identified.

Anyone familiar with other victims or survivors lists published in the contemporaneous aftermath, or the more recent work of assemblage made by fabulists such as Fielding M. McGehee III and Mary McCormick Maaga, will note the characteristics that set this work apart, and vouchsafe an official origin. Constructed, for the most part, with the sort of information found on American passports---things like middle initials, and the date and state where born, and with only three "AKA's" among the whole lot---it could help to settle the troubling issue of identity that mars the memory of both the Jonetown living and dead. That is if we could abide its central premise---that a year abroad, and several days of putrification, could render a specious subgroup as forensically (if not actually lawfully) identifiable, yet still lovelorn and lost, shades unwashed, unburied and unmourned.

The lead-in states

The department asks anyone with information as to next of kin or friends to call (202) 632-3712 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. EST.

I have to ask in return: Why must a request such as this be advertised in a newspaper, especially one in Baltimore? The families of the Jonestown dead were denied the sort of hope that drove family members to blanket Manhattan with mimeographed Missing Person's posters of a loved one's face following the attacks of September 11th, 2001, under the apparent delusion that they might be wandering around New Jersey, dust-covered and amnesiac. Surely if over seven weeks had passed since Jonestown fell, with no stewards coming forward to claim rights over the properly identified remains of those who'd slipped the mortal coil, then a general announcement of calling hours on the East Coast would do little by way of an enticement.

Furthermore, a targeted approach would seem in order, given that everyone's "last known residence" was in California:

The list of 97 includes name and, where available, state where born, birth date and last known residence:

This casts doubt on the fervor of an ideological emigration since most had been situated in the wilds of Guyana for over a year, on a permanent basis, mind you, without the stateside visits enjoyed by a privileged few. Shouldn't "their last known residence" be Jonestown? Where did information of a former domicile come from in the first place? If authorities had it in hand, why didn't they start inquiries there?

Moreover, a subset of just over ten percent of this subgroup of slightly more than ten percent of the stated total of fatalities were left uncredentialed by the simplest of passport record information:

1. Farris, Lore R.
2. Jackson, Karen
3. Jay, Love or Lave
4. Johnson, Karl
5. Johnson, Rosa
6. Kay, Marie
7. Logan, Henry L.
8. Miller, Lucy S.
9. Olhe, Marie
10. Oman, Edna M.

Did the Guyanese government have fingerprint records for immigrants sans the basic information which would establish their identities? A number of survivors lived because of their timely visits to the nearest dentist 150 miles away. As a rule, this would break the bank even for a capitalist commune of 1,200. Planners should have made do with one less respiratory therapist and brought in a good dental hygienist on site. In the absence of the few tools available at the time to make identifications on corrupted corpses, and in the interpersonal vacuum postulated, how can we be sure that "Rosa" is Rosa and not really Marie?

Most damaging to this argument are some serious internal boo boos on their list.

Take for instance Daren Richard Janero, born 3-1-64, in California, with a L.K.R. in Redwood Valley, California, age 14.

On the Who Died/Who Survived List, for which I'm obligated to credit Alternative Considerations of Jonestown and Peoples Temple, we're told that Claire Elaine Janaro, age 39, and Richard Mario Janaro, age 51, the documented mother and father of young Daren, both survived the catastrophe---Richard because he was aboard the supply ship Cudjoe in neutral waters, his regular gig; and Claire, who was "in Georgetown on business" that weekend, or so we're told by Natalia Danesi, who has 3,492 Memorials Added to the Find A Grave website, and that's some fucking fetish.

How could two out of an announced 87 Temple survivors in Guyana at the time of the massacre, be overlooked by the special government task forces (like State and Justice---we don't talk about the C.I.A., N.S.A., FBI, D.I.A., F.C.C., A.T.F., etc.) along with a corp of journalists in Guyana that totaled 150 from the U.S. alone, escape notice? That's nearly two Yank journalists per survivor!

Daren Richard's biological sister, Mauri Kay Janaro, also died, two days shy of her 16th birthday. Why her name is not on this list, but on another list of victims whose relatives had been proper notified, is the question, Apparently, a slight misspelling of "Janero" as "Janaro" was the bureaucratic snafu, but what explains the parental? They also had a "foster" brother, Marvin Wesley Sellers Janaro, who was a further victim, but his name doesn't appear on either list. And since when do foster children take on the last name of their government subsidized benefactors? Natalia Danesi speaks of Marvin Wesley, saying, "He had written his birth mother and warned her not to come to Jonestown, Guyana." Good boy. Now did he explain to her the serious and permanent change in his identity and legal status that a name only symbolizes?

All three of these children supposedly wound up in the mass grave in Evergreen Cemetery, in Oakland, California, where Daren Richard received no special berth, marker or consideration just because he once had the status of being "identified." Both of his parents were members of the "Planning Commission," the high-level, read-in Group of 140, who ran the Peoples Temple gangster show, so they can't cry poverty---apparently, they just didn't care.

You might think it couldn't get any worse but you'd be wrong. Note that Lew E. Jones' name is on the list of those forensically identified bodies for which no family contact information could be found by federal government officials. He may have only been Jim Jones' adopted 22-year-old son, but his was a long-term relationship since brought over as an infant, and not acquired as he'd hit a comely prepubescence, like most of the crew transparently seem.

Lew's maternal grandparents were back in Indiana (with some sources saying they'd left Guyana the week before Ryan's visit) and the grandmother, Charlotte Baldwin, was frequently in the news in the early days as plans developed for the burial of her daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren. This began as casket interments in a hometown cemetery in Indiana, but that shifted, eventually becoming both cremation, and the casting of the ashes on the high seas, just to be safe. 

I wouldn't be surprised if the C.I.A. had developed working D.N.A. tools a good ten years before Jerry Springer got them. In any event, there was no question of anyone later bringing Osama bin Laden's body back to the Dover mortuary; or digging up "Jim Jones" from a sanctified resting spot, but the winds of portend were surely blowing in: See the October 5, 1981, New York Times, Oswald's Body Is Exhumed -- An Autopsy Affirms Identity, (diigo.)

________________________________________________________________________________

The Families of Jonestown web page is a tangled web lost in the warp of an endless woven tapestry. For the record, this is how the Jones family breaks down:

James Warren Jones⁹              Marceline Mae Baldwin Jones            Stephanie Jones³; Suzanne Jones³; Agnes Paulette Jones (35)³; Lew Eric Jones (21)³; Stephan Gandhi Jones (19) ⁴; Timothy Glenn Tupper Jones (18)³; James Warren Jones, Jr. (18) ^{3, 4}

Forrest Ray Jones                   Agnes Paulette Jones¹                         William Dillon Dean (17); Stephanie Lynn Bishop aka Stephanie Jones (14); James Arthur Bishop, aka James Arthur Jones (13); Michael Ray Jones (7)

Johnny Jones, aka Johnny Moss Brown, Jr.

                                                Ava Phenice Jones aka Ava Cobb      Stephanie Brown (9)^{2, 4}, Marchelle Jacole Jones (infant)

Timothy Glenn Tupper Jones  Sandra Yvette Cobb aka Sandy Jones      Monyelle Maylene Jones (infant)³    

Lew Eric Jones                        Terry Carter, aka Terry Jones                       Chaeoke Warren Jones (1)

________________________________________________________________________________

You will notice that Sandra Yvette Cobb's name is on the list of the identified yet sadly unclaimed. Legally speaking, she's Jim and Marceline Jones's daughter-in-law, but you didn't read it in the Washington Post. Footnote 3 indicates an adopted child, and the one which Tim Tupper and Sandra Yvette got as a weddding present (he was just 18) they named Monyelle Maylene Jones, since their first choice, Placenta Tylenol, had been usurped by a pretend first cousin.

Notice also how the water has been muddied around the problematic Stephanie Jones. The Stephanie Jones attributed to Jim and Marceline died in 1959 as a young child in a highly suspicious car accident. That she remained included in the counting 19 years later only added to the confusion, and was positively macabre, as though Anthony Perkins were still setting a place for her at the dinner table.

Agnes Paulette Jones, 35, was adopted by Jim Jones when she was 11 and he 23, which is an odd way to start a rainbow family. As she  moved along in life from a Mr. Dean, to a Mr. Bishop, she named her first daughter Stephanie in 1964, which makes perfect sense, since it honors the brief period in 1959 when she had a younger sister. That Agnes Paulette wound up back with a Mr. Jones, meant she could go back to using the monogrammed tea towels she had as a maiden.

Things start to get pretty confusing here, even the Jones Family tree doesn't really help. Two of the Jones' boys married sisters, nee Cobb, one of whom had a middle name Yvette, while a different Jones boy married a girl whose first name was also Yvette. Apparently, and this is only conjecture, Ava Phenice Cobb married John Moss Brown before he was adopted by Jim Jones, and when John was adopted she came along in the bargain---which is the only way she could get a name like Ava Phenice Cobb Brown Jones. When Agnes' Stephanie was five-years-old, Ava had a daughter and named her Stephanie too, since she was still a Brown and only a later child was a straight up Jones.

But the little nine-year-old throat-slashing survivor candidate was named Stephanie Jones in all the early publicity--not Brown--although the details of her lineage with the Reverend shifted with the reporter telling the story.

Lynetta Jones Family Tree

Charlotte Baldwin
Cobb Family Tree

Rita Tupper Family Tree

The interesting pattern found in these family trees is told in color--no pun intended. The red is for survivors and the blue are minor dependents. The only minor to survive among this batch was Stephanie Jones, who survived with her throat slashed.

Larry Layton lost his second wife Karen Layton, as well as his first. Apparently, Ruletta Brown, judging by her issue---Marquess Dwight Rhodes Jr.---was survived by two men, Odell Rhodes and Robert Paul, while her sister Jocelyn was jilted by only one---and a suitcase full of cash has that effect on a man. Then again, Odell Rhodes also claimed the paternity for a baby born to Juanita Bogue, who grew to the age of 19, when he killed an Oakland, California policeman. (See: January 13, 1999, San Francisco Chronicle, Oakland Man Charged, by Gregory Lewis, diigo)

The real issue at Jonestown doesn't appear to have been racism as much as sexism (And don't let the handful of powerful dragon ladies fool you either. There has always been a market for female sadism, and they were making more coffee, than policy. The meteoric rise of 25-year-old Terri Burford from a third-rate college, and a year or so as a secretary at the cable company, to the life of an international money launderer, who always wound up in the bed of the man left on top, was symptomatic of the problem, not the solution. That vicious inside track competes directly with every man or woman who goes to school then work, plays by the rules, while deluding themselves that in "open democracy" is a level playing field.

That's about enough I suppose, so I'll end with this---the possible significance of which, has only recently entered my conspiratorial sphere of cognition.

It is a compilation of pages of FBI documents that goes by the identifier BQ 89-495, but what's significant about it is that it's maintained online by www.guyana.org, a Guyanese owned and operated news and information portal. I haven't researched this yet, but I'd bet $50 that these same pages aren't in the extensive online posting of documents put up by the FBI. It goes without saying that Fielding and Rebecca don't link here either. The pages are numbered, although the sequence begins abruptly on page 249, and runs to page 313, when very politely it's marked that a deletion has occurred, as it jumps to page 369, then running to page 417---with a handwritten page "369" & "370" tacked on to end. I know this should come out to 123 pages, but I can't make it work. Sorry.

Anyway, on page 251, is found this:

CLAIRE JANERO - white/female, PC, never to Jonestown

RICHARD JANERO - white/male, PC, dead, purchasing agent for PT

The Claire Janero reference is somewhat ambiguous, but as it's found elsewhere in the document pages, it could really mean "never in Guyana" at all. 45 people sleeping in an eight-bedroom Georgetown villa---by scheduled plan and design intent---is only desirable in contrast to Jonestown, not San Francisco.

The Richard Janero reference is unambiguous. It's presence here isn't indicative of any truth necessarily, only that there are honest teams of good FBI agents doing their jobs, and there are teams of bad ones, and it's been this way at least since J. Edgar started, and gangsters, mafia, and Cuban nationals got all mixed up. The G-men play off each other in a sort of training exercise, I imagine, but there's never any doubt who will prevail. It was this way on 9/11 too, when the good FBI were sent off to exercises in Monterrey and not in their usual positions on the right coast. Even the Scientologists were on board by then. 

My point is, we are very shortly coming up to the 50th anniversary of one of the really big seminal contracts, with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. (And frankly, I found the John Wayne Gacy op to have been far more sinister than anything dreamed up for Jonestown, which was a botched terror operation in both planning and execution.)

The former way of doing business by enforced secrecy is no longer sustainable, IMHO. It is a system based on lies, and now even the big lies are failing. We live surrounded by a matrix of corruption and cruelty that is absolutely appalling, and it's time for everybody to grow up and face the fact. What's in store for us is unknown. Things could get much worse. But until then, I'll try to maintain my faith in the goodness of human nature by telling all the Ayn Rand queens and Aleister Crowley whores they can go suck a bag of dicks.

Here is the better copy of the list of dead whose kin were not notifiable, where it looks even odder attached to the larger official list. They're playing with their cardinal rule of not making names public without first notifying affected families. Apparently, there were no other affected families, with the last several hundred victims, discovered tardily, and said to be hidden under the primary layer of victims, were simply fabricated to balance out the accounts on a massive scheme of government fraud. I prefer this scenario to the alternative---where the Black Watch Regiment with U.S. Green Berets and Special Forces came in for a  messy extermination when some other plan came unglued,

They don't even mark the transition between Curtis L. Winter and Stephen Michael Addison.

The AFRO counted 97 names but somebody's going to have to count the longer list and I think it's going to be me. Then I can correct my transcription errors above.

December 17, 1979, Ukiah Daily Journal - UPI, page 7, Guyana Dead,

________________________________________________________________________________

Compare the naming of 97 victims on Dec. 17, whose relations had both not come forth, while the State Dept. had been unable to locate them, with the same news wire's story of four days earlier, where unnamed plural "authorities" stated that "Relatives of those [601 already identified] victims have been notified..." As to "the remaining 312 bodies," State Department spokesman Hodding Carter III, said,

"For those who have not been identified or may not be claimed, we have not reached a final decision on how we are going to handle the disposition."

(The existence of up to two dozen Guyanese victims---including adopted children---tend to skew such precise number counting.)

The Suiciding Monkey---Or, How To Get a Ball Rolling. Monkey as Myth, Metaphor and Mental Masturbation

The first time I met Jim Jones was Easter, 1953. My mother-in-law, Edith Cordell, had a monkey, and it hung itself, and she wanted to replace the monkey, so she looked in the Indianapolis Star, and in that Indianapolis Star was Jim Jones's ad, that he had some monkeys to sell. So, it was through that that she met Jim Jones, and came back saying that he'd invited her to church this next Sunday.

It didn't make no difference what color you were. It was everybody welcome in that church, and he made it very plain from the platform.

We had some people that disagreed with Jimmy, and got up in the audience and said they disagreed with him. They did not like this integration part...of the services. We did ask people to leave the services one night because of that.

It looks like Fielding has known a last-minute ax-murder or two,

Edith Cordel and her double-wide.

Jim Jones Jr.:
11:35 I was the first Negro child adopted by a Caucasian family in the state of Indiana. Marceline actually went to adopt a Caucasian child. The story goes that I was trying real loud, and it drawed, it drew attention to Marceline to come over, and when she picked me up, I stopped crying.

My family was a template of a rainbow family. We had an African-American; we had two American-Asian; and we had his natural son---homemade.

November 21, 1978, Ukiah Daily Journal - UPI, page 1, Ukiahans' fate still unclear,
405 person found dead at Jonestown

Meanwhile, Anthony Katsaris, wounded last Saturday in the ambush at an airstrip near the commune, is in stable condition at a Puerto Rico hospital today. He was shot through the arm and chest. Katsaris is at the hospital with his son.

The State Department yesterday confirmed that Patricia Parks, formerly of Ukiah, was the woman killed along with Cong. Leo Ryan and three newsmen in the ambush.

Initial reports listed Mrs. Parks' age as 18, which led to speculation the victim may have been her daughter Brenda.

The Parks family, including Gerald and Patricia, 44, son Dale and daughter-in-law Joyce, and two teenage daughters, left Ukiah for Guyana earlier this year. The fate of the rest of the family is not known.

It does seem odd that reports would get the name wrong, rather than the apparent age of the shooting victim. When inexplicably the back of her skull was half blown off while she  sat inside the larger of the two airplanes, surrounded by companions, were the roots gray?

And how come there is never a mention of son Dale's wife Joyce anywhere in the Park family narrative? Were they just walking away and leaving her to her fate?

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (UPI)
[..]
Guyanese police and army troops said they had found the bodies of 409 men, woman and children sprawled through the Jonestown jungle commune where they had died alongside each other in a scene straight out of hell.

Even their pet cats and dogs were dead.

Police said they had found 36 survivors in the surrounding jungle and in Georgetown as well as Jonestown and that they were still searching for some 600 members who disappeared into the bush. It was unknown if they were dead or alive.
[...]
A U.S. team aided by Guyanese authorities and some survivors were trying today to identify the victims. They said all of the victims were Americans from California with the exception of seven Guyanese adopted children.

In addition to the victims at the commune, police said a woman in Georgetown in radio contact with the commune slit the throats of her three children and then her own to fulfill her part of the mass suicide pact.

November 21, 1978, Ukiah Daily Journal - UPI, page 2, Death squad 'thought they had killed me'—Cobb, by H.D. Quigg, UPI Senior Editor,

James Cobb Jr., a former Ukiahan, who was with the visiting party fired on by temple gunmen Saturday, said ge was "very lucky."

He was one of eight San Francisco Bay area persons with relatives in the Temple who returned following the airport attack and later murder-suicide orgy of Temple leader Jim Jones and nearly 400 of his followers.

"I saw (NBC reporter Don) Harris, the congressman, (NBC cameraman) Bob Brown. I saw them go down. I ran to the jungle 50 yards and dove into the jungle. They thought they had killed me.

"I was there two hours, and it got dark and I climbed a tree...and I was scared."

Cobb, 45, who grow up with a family that followed the People's Temple creed faithfully, said he feared they were dead in the mass murder-suicide that followed the attack on the Ryan party.

He said two brothers, three sisters and his mother were in the camp when massive shootings and poisonings took place.

Cobb, a black man with a beard and wearing a little gold necklace, was asked if Jones, a professed fighter for civil rights, might actually have hated blacks.

"Oh, yes," Cobb replied. What Jones did and felt "was the worst that I have ever heard of in history."

Tuesday
Names of 17 former residents of Ukiah and Redwood Valley were on a partial list of 173 victims of the Jonestown mass suicide and massacre which occurred Saturday in Jonestown, the Guyana religious and agricultural community founded by Jim Jones, pastor of the Peoples Temple Church.

Included, all from Ukiah, are Velma Barnes, Jack Beam, Dorothy Buckley, Patricia Cartnell, Patty Cartnell, Candice Cordell, Chris Cordell, Amanda Fair, a Mr. Fair, Magnolia Harris, Paulette Jackson, and Karen Layton.

From Redwood Valley: Jim Jones, Marceline Jones, Danny Kutulas, Time Swaney, and Billy Jones, reportedly the pastor's grandson.

According to latest reports, 409 Temple members committed suicide or were shot shortly after an execution squad killed Cong. Leo Ryan, three newsmen, and Patricia Parks of Ukiah, who was leaving the commune with the delegation, as they prepared to take off from a small airport near the Temple commune.

Files indicate the Swaneys operated a home care center in Redwood valley.

Sources also say the 1970 death of Maxine Harpe could be traced back to Jones.

The 30-year-old divorced mother of three was found hanged in a garage near her Talmage residence.

Call Jim Randolph

Files indicate Harpe was having a relationship with Randolph, also a temple member and an employee of the county welfare department.

The 1974 death of Leo Bleier was yet another incident sources linked to Jim Jones and the People's Temple.

Sources said the 64-year-old Redwood Valley man owned property the temple wanted. When Bleier refused to sell. Jones allegedly used two young girls from the temple to sexually entrap him.

This presumably resulted in the arrest of Bleier in charges of child molesting.

According to official files, Bleier's death was a suicide, involving a self-inflicted gunshot wound and slashed wrists.

Investigators believed that he killed himself out of despair over his arrest.
