The 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury narration of the Cipolla Case was a much
more tame version of the case. The Pgh Post Gazette 1995 version, the 2015
version, and the 2016 Randy Engel version were hyper-exaggerations. Real
cover-ups are sneaky, silent, snakelike, pernicious, and subtle.
PREVIEW: Randy Engel stated that, between August 15 and 17, 1977 , twelve year old Frank Labiaux was molested by Anthony Cipolla for the first time ever, in a Dearborn Michigan motel room.
This molestation, according to Engel, was followed by Frank vandalizing a church near his Mexico Street home, one week later.
Engel stated that twelve-year-old Frank and another youth entered through a church window, and took a fire extinguisher, unleashing its foam upon a podium and pews.
Now, there was a church on California Avenue, very near to St. Francis Xavier Parish, which was vandalized via fire extinguisher foam. HOWEVER, it happens in NOVEMBER of 1978, fifteen months after Engel said it happened.
Plus, the two vandals were aged 14 and 15. They did NOT include a twelve year old Frank Labiaux. Furthermore, two weeks later, the same two youths went back to the same church and slit the tires of the cars in the parking lot during a Protestant Revival Meeting there.

The pastor of the church quickly recognized the youths as the same ones who committed the fire extinguisher vandalism, two weeks prior. Neither of the two was Frank Labiaux. Diane Thompson and Randy Engel lied. Frank Labiaux lied.
Incidentally, the church was the Avery Memorial AME Zion Church, located at 3403 California Ave, Pgh 15212.

Wuerl refused to let Cipolla back into ministry out of fear for District Attorney John C Pettit who publicly announced that Wuerl's cooperation in the investigation which lead to the indictments of Frs. Wolk, Zula, and Pucci was MINIMAL at best. Petti also mentioned that investigations would continue. Therefore, putting Cipolla back into ministry would have triggered the very Grand Jury Investigation which is now transpiring upon the Diocese of Pittsburgh at this very moment.
This post/article details an elaborate lie told by Diane Thompson/ Mangum/ Labiaux and published as if it were fact-checked truth by Randy Engel. That specific assertion concerns the claim that a young Frank Labiaux co-committed vandalism upon a church near his Mexico Street domicile in 1977, out of frustration for having been molested.
The fact-checking on this one is so exact that it should finally jar the most stubborn person into realizing that the Engel article is nothing more than a collection of easily provable falsehoods, and thereby, a long-winded piece of vicious and actionable
libel.

The one excerpt exposed here is so blatant a falsehood that it should set a spark in your mind, in having you realize that the damning accusations in the Cipolla Case were a series of orchestrated lies. This one cannot be defended by the Engel People, in any capacity.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point, however, keep in mind that Cipolla was NEVER tried at the Vatican for molesting Tim Bendig. He was tried for a diagnosis of Depression & Suicidal Tendencies, making that case a procedural law case, only.
Now, as the usual preamble, I state that I am more than willing to declare the man formerly known as Father Anthony Cipolla an egregious molester who earned a one-way ticket to Hell. But, the fact-checking of the accusations against Cipolla keep resulting in finding that Diane Thompson/Mangum/Labiaux lied. It was recently found that even Frank Labiaux lied to Randy Engel. We continue.

Concerning the Big-Lie-at-Hand and how easy it was to disprove, let's get to it.
Ladies and gentlemen, Randy Engel wrote that, between August 15 and 17 of 1977, Anthony Cipolla molested Frank Labiaux in a Dearborn Michigan motel. Frank was 12 years of age plus 10 or 11 months. She asserted that Cipolla took 3 or 4 lads to Michigan, to see the Henry Ford Museum. The other boys weren't molested according to her. Only Frank was.
In fact, Engel stated that it was a long and tiring trip from Pittsburgh, and therefore, Cipolla didn't have the energy to molest anyone on the first night.
Now, concerning the trip to Dearborn being long and tiresome, BULL CRAP! I know this from personal experience, being that I had a girlfriend in Grand Rapids whom I would visit via highway travel, and the drive to the Detroit area was only halfway to Grand Rapids and not tiring at all. In fact, Pittsburghers used to travel to Detroit and buy cars there. They would then return to Pittsburgh on the same day.
The trip to the Ann Arbor / Dearborn / Detroit area is only FOUR hours. Now, I have traveled as far as 1,000 miles in a day (from SC to Texas) and I did more than one 14 hour trip between Pittsburgh and the Carolina coastline. A four hour drive is nothing. The sign of a liar is exaggeration. Engel exaggerated on purpose, insulting the intelligence of any American used to really long road travel.
We need to keep the following in mind:
Diane Thompson wrote to me and specifically stated that Frank was molested at the PIME seminary, and NOT at a motel. Then, I produced a witness who went to the seminary with Tim Bendig and Anthony Cipolla. He said that nothing immoral happened there. He said that Cipolla did NOT do anything queer. Therefore, Diane Thompson/Mangum/Labiaux ever-so-coincidentally changed her story and placed the molestation in a motel room. Quite frankly, people who drive to the Henry Ford Museum can easily drive back to Pittsburgh on the exact same day.
We continue:
Engel wrote that one week after the motel molestation which is highly unlikely to have occurred, Frank vandalized a church near his Mexico Street home, using a fire extinguisher as the weapon of vandalism. That would be AUGUST 24, 1977.
Engel wrote that Frank and an accomplice entered a church window
and sprayed fire extinguisher foam on to a podium and church pews, resulting in his arrest and visit to juvenile court. Got it? Let's continue.
On California Avenue, near Saint Xavier Parish, a church was vandalized by means of fire extinguisher abuse, damaging furniture and carpets. It was the Avery Memorial AME Zion Church, located at 3403 California Avenue.
HOWEVER, it was NOT vandalized on August 24, 1977. In fact, it was NOT vandalized in 1977, at all. It wasn't vandalized until November 1978, fifteen months after Engel said that it was.
Now, Engel stated that Diane Thompson took her family in flight to Cleveland, in the middle of September 1978, after she was harassed into dropping criminal charges that were never filed in the first place. Yet, the vandalism did not occur until November of 1978. And and and, the vandals were a 14 year old youth and a 15 year old youth who would then commit vandalism at the same church two weeks later, sometime around November 3rd and 17th, 1978.
In as much, if Diane Thompson fled Pittsburgh in September 1978, then how did she know about the fire extinguisher vandalism of November 1978. This would indicate that she didn't leave Pittsburgh as was reported by Engel.
In their second vandalism spree, the two boys slit the tires of the cars in the parking during a Protestant Revival Meeting. The pastor recognized those two boys as the ones who did the fire extinguisher vandalizing two weeks prior. And neither one of the boys was Frank Labiaux. Thus, Diane Thompson lied through her teeth, and we now have evidence to prove Frank Labiaux to be a liar.
Now, you can do the fact-checking for yourself. Go to the:
Pittsburgh Post Gazette archives, at the SATURDAY NOVEMBER 18, 1978 edition, at PAGE 18.
It mentions both acts of vandalism, including the one that Diane Thompson claims to have been done by Frank a year and a quarter before it actually happened. In as much, I can assure that Frank was NOT taken to Juvi Lockup & Court, as Engel claimed. Thus, Frank Labiaux was NOT frustrated for having been molested, and therefore, he probably was NOT molested.
This one lie should break the hypnotic trance upon you, in thinking that Engel is the holiest woman alive. You might then say, "Hey, she was in Vietnam as the voice of Saigon." Uhhhm, the Voice of Saigon headquarters was in Dayton Ohio where one can find the Wright-Patterson air base. That is the air base which has the memorial
plaque of the my father's Air Force Bomb Group. None the less, we now have very convincing evidence that Diane Thompson and her children orchestrated a theatrical lie about Cipolla molesting the family. And why?
ANS: The custody of two grand children who were 12 and 14 in 2016.
Moreover, if Frank said that he did this act of vandalism upon the AME Zion Church in his interview with Randy Engel, then it's proven that he IS a LIAR.

| Ladies & gentlemen, this is the southern end of the very short Mexico St about which Randy Engel wrote. It's a glorified back alley and little more than that. |
Now we address Engel's mention of two "detectives." Firstly, one's name was NOT Nehouser, as Engel stated. It was NINEHOUSER. Mark Ninehouser.
As far as goes the R. Fogle mentioned by Engel, it was ROBERT W FOGLE, Ninehouser's police patrol partner. And yes, at times, Fogle would do "plain clothes stake-out" assignments.
The pertinence in the misspelling is this: If Engel saw the "Incidence Report" and if she saw clearly saw the name, Nehouser, then it was a forgery. If Engel saw the actual Incidence Report and the name of NINEHOUSER was hard to read, then the sheet of paper didn't have a forged signature.
Now, Diane Thompson is an exceptionally dimwitted person who lived in an area where people could not pronounce words correctly. She might have heard the name Nehouser, because the nearby people couldn't pronounce NINEHOUSER. She then would have had someone sign on the Incidence Report "Nehouser" and make up a badge number.
None the less, in later years, Mark Ninehouser became the NFL
Security Representative in Pittsburgh. In fact, before becoming a police officer, Ninehouser was a welder.
Concerning this, Pittsburgh Police badge numbers were four digits and not two, because there were more than 99 police officers in Pittsburgh. As of the Year 2025, there are 664 sworn Pittsburgh police officers and about 115 to 215 non-sworn ones. None the less, Mark Ninehouser might have signed his name illegibly on the private criminal complaint form that also goes by the name Incidence Report.
None the less, the Incidence Report mentioned by Engel is suspect, because of the badge numbers she reported it as having.
One more thing, Engel kept mentioning "Police Station #9," and I said that, in Pittsburgh history, Police Station #9 was on Mount Washington. I furthermore stated that there are presently only SIX police units in Pittsburgh and that the unit covering the Northside of Pittsburgh is Unit #1.
Now, in the 1970s, there was a Police Station #9 in the Northside, but it was NOT a jurisdictional identifying number. The number on a police complaint form which mattered was the number of the COURT of jurisdiction.
None the less, in the 1978 case, we were dealing with a private criminal complaint form and NOT a police criminal complaint form. And we are dealing with four-digit badge numbers and NOT two, as Engel reported. In as much, is that Incidence Report a forgery? Any civilian was able to obtain a copy and make a forgery.
Concerning Fogle & Ninehouser
The irony here is that both police officers were involved in a murder that they could have prevented, on October 4, 1978. The murder took place on Buena Vista Avenue, when a man named Robert Tucker was shot to death by a Tyrone DeVaughn. Tucker was walking from the police station and then was shot dead.
You see, Fogle and Ninehouser gave the man a private criminal com-
plaint form to fill-out, upon which one of the officers went to night court to get a motions judge to sign-off on it. It would get DeVaughn arrested and processed. Of course, the 1970s version of a private criminal complaint is an Incidence Report.
This October 1978 murder case shows that Engel and Diane Thompson lied about their description of Anthony Cipolla's pretend July 1978 arrest. At no time did they mention a judge's signature, and I told my readers on multiple occasions that you either need a judge to sign-off on a complaint or an assistant DA to approve a complaint. Such a complaint directs the local magistrate to "issue process." To issue process means to "Book him, Danno."
_________________________________________________
Another 1978 case involving Robert W Fogle should give light on how high the bail would have been imposed upon Anthony Cipolla IF he actually were arrested. And remember, Cipolla only received a summary notice that was only signed by Diane Thompson by which he was to appear before city court magistrate Stephen Laffey, to see IF Laffey would issue process on Cipolla or not.

It was up to Thompson to show probable cause. She simply dismissed her complaint the day before the hearing.
None the less, once upon a time Fogle had undercover (plain clothes) duty, and he caught two thugs assaulting and robbing two 80+ year old sisters. The two alleged robbers were John Knox and Samuel Wade. Both were held on $10,000 bond each. Thus, if Cipolla molested Tucker Thompson, he would have been held at a high price tag. Probably $10,000. He would NOT have been released
on his own recognizance. Thompson lied.
Of course, Engel said that the police let Cipolla go on his own "cognisance' (it's recognizance, in real life). But, only a judge can order a man released on his own recognizance, at a courthouse or magistrate's office. Plus, there are no arraignments in police sta-
tions. Thompson lied ... yet again.

_____________________________________________________
Now, let me squelch an easily refutable piece of libel written ABOUT me by Diane Thompson. It's something which shows that someone was obsessively attempting to dig up dirt on me. Perhaps Randy Engel's paranoiac side kick from New Jersey did the digging or Randy herself.
None the less . . .
The snide libel, in this case, asserted that my family kicked me out of my "deceased father's" house. Stop there. Firstly, there is no such thing as a deceased man's house after the probate period. It belongs to his heirs. I was one of my father's four heirs. Thus, it was MY HOUSE, co-owned with my three siblings.
Concerning that house and my father's other house, I WAS BOUGHT-OUT IN FULL. Now, I was offered as my inheritance either one of my father's houses, but I did not except the offer. I took the equivalent money, instead.
Thompson and her source are bumbling and defamatory buffoons who kept going out of their ways to make you disrespect and despise me. You need to be snapped out of the hypnotic trance that has you thinking that Randy Engel is the all-knowing goddess of the ages. She presented as truth many fact-checeds lies.
Remember one thing. I was the one caught in the Fr Torquato Retaliations. And usually, a person caught in a corrupt bishop's retaliations is one who wins the compassion of the people. You people might as well go out and ridicule cancer patients and robbery victims, as well.
The fact that Thompson/Mangum/Labiaux ridiculed a retaliation victim of a corrupt bishop shows that she was not one of us. There is an unwritten code of respect among us. Thompson showed zero respect for me.
Plus, Thompson was found to have lied repeatedly. Do the math as to whether or not Diane Thompson suffered a priest's retaliation, and keep in mind that Frank Labiaux is now proven to be a liar, concerning the AME Zion Church Vandalism which occurred 15 months after he claimed to have done the vandalism.
None the less, this shows that someone has been striving to dig up dirt on me and such a thing is a form of harassment. Once again, I was NOT kicked-out of my deceased father's house. I WAS bought-out of my own inherited house. This ends another piece of libel against me. By now, you should realize how incredibly non-factual and defamatory is the Engel three-part article.
