An update from Dr. Eric Olson / 10.21.10.*:

* "A year after beginning work on the case the NY Assistant DA in charge of the matter called the CIA's 1953 assassination manual a "blueprint" for Frank Olson's murder.
Later that year, (1997) the DA confirmed that the Israeli Mossad had for years been teaching the Frank Olson case as "a case of perfect murder."
In 2001 the Cold Cases unit convened a meeting in NY to inform us that they lacked "sufficient evidence" to continue.
Immediately after the meeting the Assistant DA in charge of the case took my brother and me into his office to show us a letter from two former CIA officers involved in the case in 1953. The letter said Frank had been thrown out the window.
At the meeting our attorney asked them to issue a grand jury report on their findings, and provided a brief showing that the New York law authorized them to do so. They said they would consider it. They never said or did anything further.


That's where the matter officially stands to this day: "cause unknown."
