I wish I knew who murdered my brother. I wish my child could have closure in her Uncle's death. I hope this case is solved before any more lives are destroyed in its wake.
As for the producers of The First 48; I hope one day you understand that the profit that was made off of my brother's murder investigation was not worth the cost.

The sad thing is that this crazy dude Kevin Goode is working at a pizza shop on 41st Street in Miami Beach "Beyond by Shemtovs". He is around children and families all day, who knows what else he is capable of especially after getting away with murder once....LITERALLY!

The police should all be fired and that stupid show and it's producing company should be shut down for investigation tampering/hindering.
Filthy, media hungry pigs. Hope they all get raped to death by gay guys on meth...
Sorry that his sister has to deal with the incompetence of such terrible, terrible people.

Dear Chief Exposito,
I am worried that you are not receiving my letters. I hope you get this one.
Upon reading the New York Times article, “Race Issues Rise for Miami Police,” I was surprised to discover that you are in support of another “reality” television show, “Miami’s Finest, SOS.” I guess this solves the mystery of my unanswered letters inquiring where you and other city officials stand on investigating the role television cameras played in the demise of my brother’s initial homicide investigation and the ethics involved in this filming. As I have said before; the public may be entertained, but is not served by a jeopardized homicide investigation.
Presumably, there is no point in articulating my concern regarding the possible constitutional violation of the police inviting the media into a private home to film without consent and then broadcasting that footage for corporate profit – especially when the footage broadcasted was my brother’s bloody body in his bloody home. In my cursory review, I found a few cases related to this issue: Ayeni v. Mottola, Berger v. Hanlon and Wilson v. Layne. There is also an interesting article on this topic written by Special Agent Kimberly A. Crawford of the FBI Academy, called, “Media Ride-Alongs: Fourth Amendment Constraints,” (FBI Enforcement Bulletin, Volume 69, Issue 7, July 2000; pgs.26-30). As this issue appears to warrant legal and scholarly critique, perhaps the City of Miami will consider a comprehensive analysis and review, instead of condoning exploitation of the dead.
Now that I am aware of your support of the City of Miami Police participating in “reality” television, my future correspondence will just be related to the unsolved case.
Sincerely,
Lori Grande

Hi m.b., Thank you so much for commenting. You seem to be confident in your opinion. I like that. I wonder if you could comment a little more to describe how it is you reached this conclusion? I'm wondering if you could comment on Mexican Ben at all as he was in town at the time of the murder and remains, like Berry, somewhat untouchable. Please feel free to write me at: loriegrande@optonline.net. -or- a more anonymous route: PO Box 98, West Nyack, NY, 10994. Thank you again.

You do know quite a bit about Michelle. Unfortunately she got a pass out of this country and she is smart enough not to come back unless she has a new identity. Regardless of where suspects are living, I intend to get to the truth. I would be interested in speaking with you further via a different forum. There is more I would like to ask, but not here. I can be reached at: loriegrande@optonline.net -- thanks again.

Sorry, "relationship with will" with Michelle I intended. getting late!
Again my condolences.

Anthony 11/07/2010 10:40:00 AM
You are welcome. I am trying to think back during the time of my relationship with will.
I know I had met Vito a couple of times, but i really am trying to remeber if I had ever met Will. I did know a William but Michelle use to call him Billy.
Kieth Brandreth was the name of Michelle's X before me. Kieth had died of Unknown Cuases, (listed as Overdose). After learning more about Michelle, and her dark past, I came to the conclusion that she had cuased his death, and started to worry about myself.. HEr behavior was extremely odd, including marry a known drug dealer named Salvador for immigration papers during our relationship.. I remeber she used to drag her kid with her to his hosue and smoke meth right there with her kid around. I used to find her in the pantry or hiding wheerever .. This is who she was crying for in that interrogation ? Please, such fake tears. I knew her like a book. I spent over 2 years with her.
Her mother also was dating a criminal when I had last seen her. Her entire U.S. family has been around criminals forever. Her family in Brazil has some political involvement and seemed very nice. Michelle changed her ways when we were in Brazil. Just more of her scary mood swings...
Hopefully they will question her again one day and the truth may come out. 99 percent she had something to do with it, if not commiting that act herself.

Thank you Anthony for your condolences. I agree it seems odd how Michelle slipped out of this investigation. I think that is an excellent question for the Miami DEA and the original lead Detective in the case. It also seems odd that Mexican Ben was never questioned in the investigation seeing as he was in town at the time of the murder and not discreet in terms of his communication and meetings with people being questioned in this case. Sadly, law enforcement is unable to locate Mexican Ben. This too seems odd, considering Mexican Ben showed up in a public courtroom when a suspect in this case was sentenced in an unrelated case. Apparently, Mexican Ben is just a real nice guy that likes to show his support for friends - especially when they might be questioned by a Judge if they knew anything about this murder. It's all very confusing and I don't understand much.
One thing I do know is that every detail of forensic evidence collected in the crime scene should be processed if the goal is to solve this crime and get the right person(s) behind bars. If the MPD and SAO are financially or otherwise restricted from processing all of the evidence perhaps an outside, third party might do so. Between the profits made off of this homicide via its commercial value and the number of law enforcement agencies involved in it, one would presume someone has the resources to process the evidence of a brutal homicide. No? It's all very confusing and I don't understand much, though I have to admit, it's getting clearer as the years pass. Thank you again for your condolences Anthony.

I had known one of the people interogated for this case. I saw the episode by accident while on vacation. THey never really pressured Michelle it seemed.... odd considering her past. I knew michelle for 2 years before she disapeared and the next time i saw her was 1.5 years later on tv being interogated for murder.
Kinda strange since the father of her child (baby girl) Christina Luiza, has a Mysterious UNKNOWN as the cause of death on his death certificate and also was a well known drug dealer on South Beach.
I spent 2 years with Michelee both in the united states and in brazil with her family.. she is a pathelogical nightmare, and I hope that if they are still investigating the case that they focus more on Michelee as it seems odd she is always around a mysterious dead friend / boyfriend .....
I am sorry for your loss Lori. I did not know William...

Lori Grande 10/19/2010 3:26:00 AM
Hey Snoopy,
I just check back periodically to see if you have grown any balls. Not yet, huh? Give it time something might come up for you when you least expect it.

Lori Grande 07/22/2010 1:34:00 AM
Dear Kristy, Not sure if you will read this but ...
I am very sorry for your loss and for the proverbial pouring of salt in the wound which comes from having a loved one's death used for profit and publicity through The First 48. As other cities around the country analyze the impact associated with filming homicide investigations, it would be nice for Miami to do the same. Death, like birth is personal, private and sacred (even when it is violent and gory -- maybe more so) and should not be taken advantage of just because the deceasesd is unable to sign a release.
As for Snoop's comments. So be it. At least I rest well knowing my brother had the guts to stand behind what he said and was not a coward.
Kristy, the fact that you have stayed clean after the murder of your boyfriend and raising a young child without her father is demonstration of your incredible will -- don't lose that. Children bring us into the moment like nothing else on this planet can (except, perhaps, our dogs). Peace be with you and thanks for your posting. .... Lori Grande

Kristy 07/19/2010 6:53:00 AM
I think Williams sister is right onthe mark. My boyfriend was killed in Miami and his case was featured on First 48. The police tried to make it look real good for t.v. but in reality have done very little to find out who is responsible for his death. His name was Jon Dixon and I believe it is because he was an addict and homeless that they have done very little to find out who killed him. Some of you who read that are familiar with his case from the show may htink that he didn't matter to anyone cuz he was a homeless addict, however that could not be farther from the truth. I was an addict myself and was brought back home by my family by force while he was in jail for drugs. They saved my life and the life of my unborn child. I have been clean now for 5 years and miss him dearly. Alot of people say that i'm better off without him but what they don't realize is that the reason he was homeless was because he chose to stay down in FLA. as to give me and our unborn child a shot at having a life. He felt that if he was here he would just f*#@k it up and i'd start using again. He gave up his chance at having a family and life for me and his child which was one of the most unselfish things he could have done. So to anyone posting comments please think b4 u type..Even some of the most destitute people out there who u think wouldn't have anyone who cared about them actually do. these people no matter what they have done were someone's son, father, husband, boyfriend, uncle , brother or friend so please remember that. my prayers to his family especially sister and neice.and Jon I miss u and Love u and so does ur daughter alyssa

Oh, and SNOOP, I don't know if you realize this, having decided 9 months after this article was published to sign on and write a comment such as you did, but ... you wrote that comment the day after a suspect was released from federal custody. Any correlation?
-
Lori Grande 03/31/2010 8:36:00 AM
DEAR SNOOP,
Think before you write. Because before this is all over someone else is going to wind up dead and I would hate to see you get mixed up in this. Good idea to not put your name on the post.

To be real and true - the time for justice for William has passed. Too many forces worked against it.
Further, there remain voices which have harbored secrets about this homicide for four years. For those people - you know how you are - the first cut may be the deepest, but inaction, pours salt in the wound.
As for law enforcement of every branch; you may scorn me - but know that you have helped to create who I have become. The rest, I know, is up to me to resolve, and I will. What is lost is untouchable as is what remains.

Bill 05/27/2009 11:22:00 PM
I remember this from the First 48, but I don't get the angle of the article. (other than to be sensationalistic I guess) How did the show rush the detectives? Where in the article is there anything to substantiate this incredible claim? Did the reporter even try to talk to the producers? The reporter seems to contradict himself whenever he brings up the show. He even tries to back the prosecutor into blaming the show, but the prosecutor can't do it. The reporter's quote about the show's premise is all wrong from the start - the show never says anything about an arrest in the first 48, just that its important to get a lead in that time. As the reporter states in the article, the detectives didn't arrest Goode until two weeks later, after DNA evidence came through linking Goode's blood to the crime scene. That and all the other evidence about Goode's cuts seems like pretty good probable cause to me. Sounds like Goode had a really good defense attorney and he got off on a bunch of technicalities. If the reporter really wanted to help the victim's sister out, he should have focussed on that aspect!
