[[John Van de Kamp]] was the State Attorney General of [[California]]. He is mentioned in connection with the "Queen's accident" investigation and the broader corruption in Mariposa County.[^1]
[[James White]], an Assistant [[United States Attorney|U.S. Attorney]], revealed that the original [[California Highway Patrol|CHP]] report on the "Queen's accident" was sent to Van de Kamp's office in Sacramento. Van de Kamp reportedly told his assistant, [[Arnold Overoye]], to "discard" or "trash" the report. He then appointed [[Bruce Eckerson]], the Mariposa County District Attorney, to take charge of the investigation and submit a new report.[^1]
