Skinner's wife K. A. Cole states Skinner privately confessed to setting Leonard up
(complete copy in pdf format of her affidavit)
"Affidavit of Krystle Ann Cole..."
- GORDON TODD SKINNER is personally known to me. I was the girlfriend of SKINNER in the months before the laboratory seizure at the missile base in Wamego, and remained in a relationship with him from approximately April, 2000 through September, 2003. I was married to SKINNER but am currently in the process of annulment.
- I accompanied SKINNER during his testimony in UNITED STATES v PICKARD, and am otherwise familiar with the proceedings. I was denied defense immunity during that trial.
- On several occasions, SKINNER confessed to me that the laboratory in Wamego belonged to him, and that he was the chemist.
- Post-trial, SKINNER often bragged to me about "whipping up something new." Skinner even went so far as to tell me where an operational laboratory of his was located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
- I attempted to report SKINNER'S activities to DEA agents in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Kansas City, Missouri, post-trial, but no action was taken by either DEA office.
- SKINNER indicated in August, 2000, that he was going to set Pickard up as the party responsible for the laboratory in Wamego.
- SKINNER began to arrange photographs and other documents in a house in Mendocino, California, in August, 2000 in preparation for the set-up. SKINNER frequently alluded to his high government connections and would often leave for several days at a time to have meetings with these people.
- SKINNER expressed his concerns in August, 2000 about his fear of the missile base being seized as a result of an MDMA investigation in Kansas City, and wanted to pre-empt any legal problems by approaching the government. Through-out our relationship, he often said that "this is what you do when you get hot, turn the other people in before you get busted." He often reminded me of his involvement, while being held on Kingpin charges in New Jersey, with bringing down, Boris Olarte, a member of the Medellin Cartel, in exchange for his freedom.
- I am a government witness against SKINNER in the matter of STATE OF OKLAHOMA v GORDON TODD SKINNER pending in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
