evening of July 10, 1988, Garnier had a roast beef dinner with his family.He left home at about 8: 45.m.About 9 p.m.Garnier called his best friend Wisfe Aish, the owner of the San Francisco gas

car indicates that he is meeting someone.His car was there so no one could surprise him.His parking light is on.As we said, he is doing a "meeting "."Any rational person can come to the conclusion that because of the work we are doing, what causes him to die is some kind of connection between gambling or prostitution."Garnier was transferred to the deputy team in 1984, where he worked until his death four years later.During this period, the unit received a series of corruption scandals and allegations.The scandal has focused on the sector, including accusing officials of using and selling drugs, hiring prostitutes and helping pimps, bookmakers and drug dealers.Most San Francisco police are now investigating the deaths of Garnier involving a prostitution ring dedicated to underage girls who allegedly serve members of the police station and influential civic leaders.On May 1987, the police received a letter stating that there was a brothel allegedly operated by Patrick Roberts on the edge of the mission area.The informant wrote again on July complaining that the police did not take action against the brothel because the police were one of the customers.Police began to spy on two people.Story plaster duplex apartment on the 16 th and Church Street near Mission Dolores, Garnier is one of the officers accused of monitoring the party ring.Police records show that Garnier has carried out surveillance at least twice, and a friend of Garnier says the officer is well aware of the nature of the case he is dealing.Former high school classmate will Saltz told the Chronicle that a few weeks before Garnier was killed, Saltz hit him near Mission Dolores.Sartz recalled that Garnier told him that "he is dealing with a large secret case that has a potential impact on at least a few wells --Known individuals"He has an advantage when he says it...Wow, I can't believe it."On April 30, 1988, police raided the duplex apartment, and police later said they suspected that the ring had been handed over to the raid in advance.The two leaders, Roberts and Kelly sunny, are missing.Six people were eventually accused of running brothels, including 40-year-old Roberts and 26-year-old Lloyd.Eight others were accused of condescending.Among the sued customers, Roger Boas, the former chief executive of the city, recently failed to run for the mayor.Another customer charged was Patrick Miyajima, a San Francisco police officer.Eight other police officers in connection with the case were questioned, but no charges were made against them.Both Boas and Miyagishima were charged with guilt and the police were fired by the police station.Investigators are now looking to learn more about Garnier and Miyajima.On 1980, Garnier was a reserve officer at the Broadmoor Police Station.At about the same time, Miyajima served for private patrols in an apartment building near Broadmoor and had many friends in Broadmoor troops.Miyajima lawyer William Murphy said that Garnier attended a stag deer party hosted by a police officer at Broadmoor in the San Francisco Seaview district.Miyajima allegedly brought two prostitutes to the party from a brothel in the mission area.Roberts and Lloyd fled the Bay Area at the time of the case.On July 9, 1988, Roberts was detained in Homer.Neil was killed the next day.A year later, Loyd was captured by the FBI in South Carolina.As soon as the News of the grand jury's investigation into the prostitution ring leaked, rumors began circulating in the judicial Hall that the case might be related to Garnier's murder.But San Francisco investigators did not actively investigate possible links between the ring and ghaneyer.Instead, the police did everything they could to distance Garnier's death from the brothel case.Police Chief Frank Jordan declined to comment on a brothel investigation-In addition to emphasizing that the investigation "does not involve the death of Garnier ".Police at Walnut Creek also could not find any connection between Garnier's murder and prostitution gangs."There has never been any contact," said Walnut Creek police Detective Jerry Whiting in an interview a few years ago."We did a thorough investigation into this and we couldn't find any contact at all.But Garnier's mother did not accept the denial."I was very upset when Chief Jordan said it had nothing to do with his work," she later said ."."I said, how can he know this when the investigation is not over yet?"On the day Garnier's body was found, Earl Sanders, a senior San Francisco homicide inspector, and Napoleon Hendricks were on standby.As they were preparing to make their way to Walnut Creek, the killing lieutenant, Gerald McCarthy, entered the killing Group.According to Sanders, McCarthy told them: "You didn't deal with it.McCarthy confirmed Sanders's statement and said he was as dissatisfied with the decision as many other officials did.He also said that deputy director Lawrence gunnett told him that Walnut Creek wanted to handle the case himself.Gurnett said yesterday, "we do not have any jurisdiction to enter and take over any other police jurisdiction and do not have any official requirements.Sanders, now the assistant minister of the department, said he still had no idea why "power" ordered Hendricks and him not to go to the murder scene."Garnier is part of ourselves and I know what the password is: when a police officer is killed, all the stops are gone," Sanders said ."."It won't stop us in another jurisdiction."This week, former mayor Agnos said director Jordan had never consulted him about the matter.Police at Walnut Creek told him, "The case is under their jurisdiction and they want to deal with it," Jordan said."Normally, another department would say, 'We welcome you with open arms, 'but in this particular case, they said no," Jordan said ."."In any case, it is not our privilege to say that we want to investigate."The formal investigation fell to the Walnut Creek police, who tried to determine whether Garnier's death was related to any scandal or corruption charges that plagued the department, but failed.Walnut Creek police have asked the FBI to restart an investigation into allegations of corruption by San Francisco police in the medium term.1980s.But the FBI declined, saying that there was no new information provided by Walnut Creek.Walnut Creek police also interviewed a San Francisco drug officer who filed a lawsuit against the department in 1989, accusing him of being punished for reporting corruption in the department.FBI agent Gordon Gibson told the Chronicle on 1991: "Walnut Creek is interested in whether people from the (San Francisco) department are involved in Garnier's murder .".Crenshaw said that during the investigation, the behavior of Walnut Creek convinced him that the San Francisco police were corrupt."It was obvious from the beginning," said Crenshaw ."."Otherwise, why would they reject two of the most important killing experts (Sanders and Hendricks) in the country who are willing to support the investigation?"Lester Garnier's funeral mass was held five days after he was killed at the Dolores Church in San Francisco.300 officials participated in the event.Four people at the funeral.Four black honor guards.and-White patrol cars and 30 motorcycles.Before arriving at the church, the procession stopped briefly in front of the old place Columbia Park Boys and Girls Club in Garnier.Chuck Conley, his former mentor at the club, said he still remembers the moment the parade stopped."I will never forget that.Garnier's death is still killing him."Why have you never followed up?" Conley asked."Why is it quiet?Soon passed.Always hurt me."The San Francisco police are looking for possible links between the unresolved killing of police officer Lester Garnier and a notorious prostitution gang that allegedly serves the police and prominent civic leaders.Broadmoor Reserve: from June to December 1980, Lester Garnier served as a reserve officer at Broadmoor Police Station.Patrick Miyagishima, who was employed by a nearby security services company at about the same time, may know Garnier.In December 1980, Garnier joined the San Francisco Police Department.Miyajima joined the police force in June 1982.1982-single partyKelly "sunshine" Lloyd, 83, is one of the leaders of a brothel in San Francisco, with at least two single parties attended by members of the Broadmoor Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies.Miyajima, who knows some of Loyd's prostitutes, is said to have invited several of them to the party.Mission brothel: on May 1987, San Francisco police received an anonymous letter running a brothel on 16 th Street in Mission District.The second letter: Two months later, the police received another letter complaining that the brothel had not been searched.-Obviously, because some customers are police officers.Surveillance: Police records show that at least twice, Garnier was monitored by the alleged prostitution gang.Brothel raids: on April 30, 1988, police raided a 16-Street brothel run by Lloyd and Patrick Roberts. police sources said the brothel appeared to have been reported in advance.Roberts was arrested: the authorities of Homer arrested Roberts on July 9, 1988.Lloyd is still at large.Police believe that Garnier was murdered later in July 10, 1988.The next morning, his body was found in the blue 1984 Corvette at Walnut Creek Mall.Grand Jury: The Chronicle reported on July 29, 1988 that the criminal grand jury is investigating a prostitution ring dedicated to underage girls.The department denied: When the news of the grand jury investigation surfaced, Police Chief Frank Jordan denied that the murder of Garnier had any connection to the prostitution gang case.CAPTURED d was CAPTURED: FBI d was CAPTURED by the FBI in South Carolina on July 10, 1989, after authorities received a tip from an informant who saw a "most American" in the brothel caseNew investigation: San Francisco police began a new investigation into Garnier's murder a few weeks ago.
