 ### Craig Spence and the Washington Connection
 
-[[Craig Spence]] was a Washington D.C. lobbyist and social figure whose activities were investigated independently of the Franklin allegations. On June 29, 1989, the Washington Times reported that Spence had been identified as a major client of a homosexual escort service under investigation; the reporting further documented that Spence had arranged late-night White House tours for clients, including a 1 a.m. tour on Sunday, July 3, 1988, at which two male prostitutes were present. The Washington Post independently confirmed Spence's unusual social access and political connections in a July 1989 profile. Spence was found dead on November 10, 1989, in Room 429 of the Boston Ritz Carlton; the death was ruled a suicide.[^5]

 Spence's connection to King was reported by the Washington Times in its Franklin coverage. That Spence maintained overlapping social networks with King in Washington is established by contemporaneous journalism. Bonacci's specific claims about what occurred at events attended by Spence are not corroborated beyond Bonacci's own testimony.[^5]

 ### Prime Suspects and Polygraph Clearunces
 
-Behind the public facade of sketches and snow patterns, law enforcement focused on two convicted pedophiles who were both tied to [[Francis Shelden]] and cleared by polygraph. Christopher Busch, the son of a General Motors executive, was arrested in January 1977 alongside an associate named Gregory Greene for sexually assaulting a boy. Greene confessed to police that Busch had killed a boy during a trip to his family cabin, and he identified the victim as Mark Stebbins. Busch was polygraphed and cleared. Kint Gilbert Schultz, another convicted pedophile with ties to Shelden's child porn ring, was also polygraphed and cleared. Both men had been suspected of operating within a larger pedophile ring connected to [[north fox island]], and both were later linked to 8mm child pornography production. The fact that two prime suspects were cleared by polygraph and then largely left alone counted as one of the most controversial aspects of the case.[^1]
