November 12, 2001:

Dr. Benito Que, a cell biologist working on infectious diseases like HIV, was found dead outside his laboratory at the Miami Medical School. This murder was accomplished as the scientist left his job at University of Miami's School of Medicine. He headed for his car, a white Ford Explorer parked on Northwest 10th Avenue. The word among his friends is that four men armed with a baseball bat attacked him at his car.

November 14, 2001:

Dr. Don C. Wiley leaves the St. Jude's Children Research Advisory Dinner in Memphis, TN. Dr. Wiley was one of the world's most highly renoun biochemists who worked at Harvard. Thirty-five days later, Dr. Wiley's body was fished out of the Mississippi River, 300 miles south of where he allegedly jumped from the Hernando DeSoto Bridge.

November 23, 2001:

Dr. Vladimir Pasechnik, a former microbiologist for Biopreparat, the Soviet biological-weapons production facility was found dead in Wiltshire, England. Dr. Pasechnik defected from the Soviet Union in 1989. His revelations about the scale of the Soviet Union's production of such biological agents as anthrax, plague, tularaemia and smallpox provided an inside account of one of the best kept secrets of the Cold War. Cause of death: stroke

Mr. Huang then conventiently killed himself. Case closed. Dr. Holzmayer was a Russian born genomic scientist who had co-invented a tool that has helped find hundreds of molecular targets to combat cancer and HIV. Holzmayer and her family came to the United States in 1989. (Same year Dr. Pasechnik, also now deceased, defected from the Soviet Union.)

David Wynn-Williams, an award-winning microbiologist died when he was struck by a vehicle while out jogging (England). In 2000 he was appointed leader of the Antarctic Astrobiology Project, which explores the effects of environmental stress at the limits of life on Earth. Wynn-Williams had assessed the capability of microbes to adapt to environmental extremes, including the bombardment of ultraviolet rays and global warming.

There are many more dead microbiologists world wide. Murders, suicides, accidents. Devvy's investigative reporting on these deaths was cutting-edge and beat out even the Canadian media. For some unfathomable reason, the "mainstream media" in the U.S. has failed to give any attention to this phenomenon except a few snippets in newspapers here and there. Why?

The Devvy Kidd Archive CD carries almost one hundred pages of research on these deaths and the 250 page official police investigation into the death of Dr. Don C. Wiley by the Memphis Police Department.

Devvy has now obtained the autopsy reports on the man who killed Dr. Holtzmayer and the official investigative report. When Dr. Holtzmayer opened her door that fateful night, a pizza delivery man was standing there. Only problem there: Dr. Holtzmayer never ordered pizza. Mr. Huang then stepped out from behind this delivery man and shot Dr. Holtzmayer. Who called the pizza parlor?

When you buy this Archive CD, you help support Devvy's work. While Devvy does not receive any compensation for her work, there are expenses involved in these types of investigations, i.e. autopsy reports for Mr. Huang: $55.00. On January 3, 2003, Devvy personally visited the exact location were Mr. Huang killed himself, a 200 mile round trip drive. Devvy Kidd is like a dog with a bone when she goes after a story.
