'E';i"- Li 0n March 6, 1979, the FBI, Albuquerque Division, - ¢ was instructed to conduct an investigation into the mutilations of fifteen animals or any others that occur in Indian country 9*. in accordance with the aforementioned DOJ memorandum dated March 2, 1979. "L"."e .3 .1 T On April 20, 1979, a conference was held in ~3.e Albuquerque, New Mexico, concerning the problem of animal '.I mutilations, primarily cattle, in which approximately 180 -- m .~-.--:; people attended who included various law enforcement agencies :~'*- -1 - 'r from several states, news media representatives, and the §§? general public. Senator Schmitt chaired the conference and the U. S. Attorney, New Mexico, and SAC Forrest S. Putman, Jr., Albuquerque Division, were in attendance. SAC, Putman advised the conference that DOJ had given the FBI authority to investi- gate those cattle mutilations which have occurred or might occur in Indian country. During this conference, numerous ,.,._.__, theories were expounded concerning who is responsible for -'.:., ."'5'.'these mutilations including members of satanic cults, predators, .'.' g * pranksters, extraterrestrial visitors, and some unknown Government agency. At the conclusion of this conference, it was decided that one agency would be designated as the coordinating investigative agency for all Jurisdictions qn-I- u involved.
:s 1. Subsequently during May, 1979, the District Attorney's .'."F___. Office for the_greater Santa Fe, New Mexico, area received approximately $50,000 in LEAA funds to act as the coordinating E, .5- i investigative agency of cattle mutilations. ._,_._.-.,2 "-1" 5 __,., p. 1;, _ - ... Since March, 1979, there have been no new cattle mutilations in Indian country, and our investigation with respect to the identities of the individuals responsible for the fifteen cattle mutilations has been negative to date. ...

U -3 ' .. ..r,~ On April 20, l9?9, a conference on livestock mutilation Q was convened in Albuquerque by Senator HARRISON SCHMITT of New IE3 Mexico, and the U. S. Attorney for New Mexico, R. E. THOMPSON. This conference was attended by law enforcement investigators from several states, FBI representatives, other interested partie ., '.;_-;_- and the press. Approximately 180 persons were in attendance. S Near the conclusion of the conference, it was reported by the District Attorney in Santa Fe, New Mexico, that a Law Enforcement Assistance Administration LEAA! grant had been applied for to _ provide funds for aepecial investigative unit to investigate 4 cattle mutilations. Subsequently, it was announced that the LEAA ;.'..":f'l-".1 ,1 grant had been made, and that a special investigative unit for this purpose had been set up under the auspices of the New Mexico ,____. ._-. -2- i State District Attorney in Santa Fe.

Criminal Investigator, Pojoaque, New Mexico, regarding the dead cattle which had been reported on the Santa Clara Reservation by members of the Santa Clara Tribe disclosed that these reports were in 1978. There was no evidence to cause it to be determined that the animals had been mutilated, and Investigator HILL did not make a complete investigation of the matter, nor collect any evidence for examination.

TAFOYA, Chief of Police, Jicarilla Apache Tribe, disclosed similar information, i.e. the reports of unexplained dead animals were in 1978, and although they were surrounded by suspicious circum- stances, there was no evidence to positively determine that the animals had been mutilated. In neither case had evidence been _"'L preserved for examination, nor were there any complete reports of investigation done regarding the deaths. _

Since the conference of April 20, 1979, the Albuquerque FBI Office has received a voluminous amount of correspondence from interested parties who have expounded their theories regarding this subject. Copies of this information have been furnished to AA in KENNETH M. ROMMEL for his assistance. On January 15, 1980, KENNETH M. ROMMEL advised his office has pursued numerous investigative leads regarding the possible mutilation of animals in New Mexico. He said that to date, his a '. investigative unit has determined that none of the reported cases has involved what appear to be mutilations by other than common in-{.. = predators. ROMMEL said he has travelled to other states and con- ferred with investigators in those areas regarding mutilations, and to date has received no information which would justify the .14 belief that any animals have been intentionally mutilated by r A - he human beings. ROMMEL added that regarding all the dead animals he has examined, the damage to the carcasses has always been con- '.*;_'¢.sistent with predator action. ::92. ,.

In July, 1978, a U.F.0. was reportedly observed by a resident of Taos, New Mexico, reportedly hovering over a pickup truck. The next morning, the enclosed powder flakes were reportedly recovered from the roof of the aforementioned pickup.
Some of the individuals that are most vocal to the media have inferred that these flakes are identical with a substance that was taken from cowhides in e controlled test conducted in the Dulce, New Mexico area.
Dulce, New Mexico, which has been the site of several reported mutilations, is located approximately seventy miles from Taos, New Mexico. I have not been able to locate a sample of the substance reportedly collected in the Dulce test, but 5 it has been described as a florescent material.
I have, to-date, been-able to confirm any connection between these two substances, and have been told by those that have seen both that they are not identical.
However, I would appreciate it if through the use of a G.S. Mas spectroscopy test or any other logical test, that these flakes can be identified. This in itself would go a long way to assisting me to discredit the U.F.0. -- Cow Mutilation association theory. '
If need be, the flakes can be destroyed during your examination.
Your cooperation in this investigation is appreciated.
