### 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]
