The Anthony Cipolla Case was the one flaunted by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette like a neon sign. However, the first thing to remember about it is this:
Accuser Tim Bendig ... only after he filed a lawsuit through the local masonic lawyer ... tried to get Cipolla indicted for molestation in two Western Pennsylvanian counties. The investigators of both counties found NO CORROBORATING EVIDENCE and refrained from filing any criminal charges against Cipolla.
Plus, in 1978, it was not until Diane Thompson was told by Cipolla that the local parish does not pay the rent of signal mothers did she accuse him of molestation. Concerning this, there was only one PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING, scheduled to determine IF there were any signs of criminal conduct which would lead to a criminal indictment. The case was dismissed after that probable cause hearing. Cipolla was NOT arrested or arraigned in 1978 or in 1988 or 1989 or 1990.

Let us now proceed to the original starting point of this post:
Every time Cipolla accuser, Diane Thompson, got caught lying, she changed her story. She and her accomplice in libel, Randy Engel, needed to overhaul that story, especially when it comes to the signature at the bottom of a sheet of paper that Engel called the last remaining piece of evidence which was handwritten in cursive writing. Well, cursive handwriting for police reports, was contrary to Pittsburgh police regulations at the time. Concerning this, that sheet of paper was NOT filled-out or signed by any police officer, especially a detective.
Mark Ninehouser is the man whom Randy Engel called "M.N. Nehouser." She claimed that he was a detective in 1978. He was NOT. He was an uniformed officer.
Now, Engel claimed that there were two detectives in the 1978 Cipolla case. In 1978, each case had one detective assigned to it. The two gentleman mentioned by Engel were simply the uniformed officers who went to her home and recorded her allegations on paper.
The fact that Mark was not a detective, alone, tossed the whole Cipolla Retaliation scenario out the door as a sophomorically contrived fraudulent misrepresentation. This is because the 1978 Accusing Mother claimed to the media and later to Engel that two detectives kept in constant contact with her, encouraging her "to hang in there and NOT drop charges," no matter how much she gets harassed."
And of course, only DA or a judge can drop criminal charges." It looks like someone on the liars' side of the aisle was watching too many fictional CBS detective shows, in the 1970s.
And and and, that sheet of paper which Engel called the last remaining piece of evidence, in itself, was NOT the proof itself, being that it was merely the accusation of a private citizen and NOT the witness account of a police officer which gets placed on a police form.
Mark Ninehouser expressly made it known to me ... verbally ... that he did NOT sign such a sheet of paper and that he would not have written any such report in cursive handwriting.
That retaliation story of a DA harassing Diane Thompson inyo dropping charges that only a DA or a judge can drop, now proven false, was the entire foundation stone of Thompson's entire nightmarish tale.
That tale is now proven to have been a lie from Stage 1. I told Engel, over the phone, that the Cipolla Case was an easily provable fraud. Engel's article which possessed numerous provable falsehoods made the Cipolla Case even more easy to prove as a fraud. The more they damned Cipolla him, the more fallacious they were discovered to be.
For those new to law, that sheet of paper which Engel called the last remaining piece of evidence was merely the setting forth of accusations. That thing created the BURDEN OF PROOF. It was not proof (evidence) in itself.
Plus, Mark Ninehouser expressly made it known that he did NOT sign such a sheet of paper and that he would never have written it in cursive handwriting. Thus, we have a case of fraud, here. Yes, that which Engle so arrogantly proclaimed as evidence was a forgery.
Killer Hags. Killer Crones. Libel Kills.
| Way to go, Engel ... and her New Jersey Conspiracy Theory Sidekick. Nobody messes with you. |
After he retired from the Pittsburgh police force, Mark Ninehouser became an employee in the security department of the National Football League. For my friends in Russia, the Ukraine, and elsewhere in Europe, the NFL is the most prestigious league on earth for American Football.
Now, if Mark Ninehouser were not employed by the NFL, I would have never tracked him down. Just thought I'd mention it, in order to give the aspiring investigative journalists out there a feel for what it's like to do true investigative journalism . . . as opposed to the farcical type done by Randy Engel, in her hairdryer salon form of gossip.
For those new here, Mark Ninehouser was claimed to have been one of the two police officers who arrested the man formerly known as Father Anthony Cipolla. This was claimed as true by Randy Engel and Diane Thompson-Labiaux-Mangum-Whatever. He told me that he never did so.
In fact, Mark become instantly curious as to the mystical sheet of paper which bore his name and his correct badge number. When I said that the sheet was signed "badge #46," Mark said, "That was my badge number."
I then mentioned "badge #37," upon which Mark said that it\ was definitely the badge number of his former work partner. The problem is that Mark Ninehouser never signed any sheet of paper titled, Offense/Incident Report.
Now, Engel and Thompson both claimed that Ninehouser (incorrectly spelled Nehouser) was a detective in 1978. He was not. Therefore, no signature on any such sheet of paper had any significance to it.
FURTHERMORE, for such a paper to have gained legal weight to it, it needed to have been signed by an assistant DA, and not a detective or an uniformed police officer. The sheet of paper was actually the 1970s version of the Private Criminal Complaint ... not the Police Complaint.
Aside of getting Mark's last name wrong, while getting his badge number correct, Randy Engel stated that he 1} was a detective, 2} told Diane Thompson to take young Tucker to a hospital, 3} was then given a medical report from a physician at the same hospital which stated that "traces" of a lubricant used to molest Tucker was still lingering on Tucker, 4} was telephoned by Diane Thompson on July 30, 1978, to go over to her home where Cipolla was standing as an intruder, clad in a cassock, 5} filled out a report called an Offense/Incidence (or Incident) Report and signed it, along with his partner, Robert Fogle.
Now, in October of 1995, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported that two detectives were called to the hospital bedside of a young molested boy who was molested by Anthony Cipolla. Thus, we have yet another instance of contradictory assertions-allegations-averments between the 1995 newspaper article that damned Cipolla to the innermost recesses of infamy, while Randy Engel's 2016 article which damned the same Anthony Cipolla to the innermost recesses of Hell.
The only thing that was true about this nightmarish narration written by the less than factual Randy Engel was Mark's badge number and Robert Fogle's badge number. For the record, today Pittsburgh Police officers have four-digit badge numbers.
All in all, Mark was NOT a detective. He was NOT called to any hospital to attend to a Tucker Thompson who was reported as having been molested. Mark was NOT given any medical report by any physician pertaining to the young Tucker Thompson.
Nor did he suggest to Diane Thompson that the young Tucker needed to go to a hospital. In addition, Mark Ninehouser was NOT telephoned by Diane Thompson on July 30, 1978, and he did NOT go over to Thompson's residence to respond to an Anthony Cipolla intrusion.
In fact, Mark was NOT in the DA's office with Diane Thompson, bearing a look of disappointment at her signing papers with tears in her eyes, and and and Mark was NOT called to respond to Tucker being slapped in the face by any 70 year merchant or any younger aged merchant ... or anyone at all.
And and and, Officer Mark Ninehouse was NOT called to respond to any claim that Diane Thompson's residence was vandalized by a stone being thrown through a window. Furthermore, there was NO CALL for Mark to respond to any report of any tire belonging to any car of Diane Thompson being slashed.
In addition, there was NO MAN IN THE HOUSE during July of 1978. This is pertinent, being taht Randy Engel made it sound as if there were a dad there throughout the entire time, psychologically impaired. NO. Thompson .... at that time .... in July of 1978 ... was the stereotypical single mom. She and Engel lied yet again.
All in all, Officer Mark Ninehouser only took a statement from Thompson and then printed-out a report on her averments, followed by him giving the report to the actual detectives.. If there were a man of the house living in the Thompson residence in June and July of 1978, then he was the Invisible Man.
That ENTIRE story which damned Anthony Cipolla to the depths of Hell was FALSE, except for the mention of the badge numbers of Officers Ninehouser and Fogle.
Moreover, there was a photo placed online purported to have been the only piece of evidence remaining in the 1978 Cipolla case. It was a photo of part .... and only part ... of the Offense/Incident Report which Engel claimed was filled-out by either Mark Ninehouser and Robert Fogle and then signed by both officers whom she identified as detectives.
Well, the description of the crime committed on that sheet of paper was handwritten in cursive handwriting, meaning that NO POLICE OFFICER in Heaven, Earth, Purgatory, or Hell filled the sheet of paper out. This is because Pittsburgh police officers were forbidden to fill-out their reports in cursive handwriting. They were required to hand-print their reports. In as much, were those signatures anything other than forgeries?
Keep in mind that Mark was surprised to hear that his name and badge number was on that particular sheet of paper.

NOW . . . after having received the information that I received from the in-good-standing though retired police officer, Mark Ninehouser, the Cipolla Case became a matter of CASE CLOSED.
Other evidentiary findings during this particular time were uncovered also, confirming that Diane Thompson and even her son, Frank Labiaux, are liars. For example, it was found that a 12 year old Frank Labiaux did NOT vandalize a nearby church by means of a fire extinguished in 1977, as an act of retaliation for having been molested. This is because the vandalism of the nearby AME Church was done by a 14 and a 15 year old TWICE, in November of 1978.
The first time involved the fire extinguisher vandalism and the second time (Nov 17, 1978) involved the two vandals slitting tires in the AME parking lot, while the congregants were attending a "tent revival" type of service.
Plus, Diane Thompson changed her story about the place where Frank was "allegedly" molested. She originally told the 1990s press .... and me in 2014 ... that Frank was molested by Cipolla on the property of the PIME seminary, in Michigan. I then found a witness who went to the PIME seminary with Cipolla and even Tim Bendig.
The witness said that no sexual harassment or molestation of any kind occurred. Therefore, Thompson changed her story, by saying that it happened in a motel, while Cipolla, Frank, and other lads where in Michigan, to see the Henry Ford Museum.
In continuing with Diane Thompson's unbroken pattern of pathological lies, she boldly stated that she drove to Pittsburgh at her own financial expense and gave a deposition for the Bendig lawsuit. I then announced to the reading public that the entire package of depositions in the Bendig lawsuit were found and sent to Europe at a relatively hefty price. I then mentioned that THERE WAS NO NO NO DIANE THOMPSON DEPOSITION in the package.
So, what did the same Diane Thompson do, in response to having been caught lying yet again? ANS: She claimed that the deposition was only video taped. To her asininity, there still would have been the legal requirement, under the Rules of Discover, to submit a copy of the video-taped deposition to the defense team headed by my former neighbor, John Alan Conte. Incidentally, John said that Diane Thompson was "an adroit liar."
Once again, deep appreciation from Anthony Cipolla's brother Vince, certain close friends of the late Anthony Cipolla, and from me goes to honorably retired police officer, Mark Ninehouser for the information that he amicably volunteered and provided to us all. It was a tremendous relief. It was liberating.
This is a multiple topic post. It also covers Cipolla's transfers to parishes in his early years ... during the mid-1970s, when American culture was much different than today.
This post furthermore covers the comment made by the New Jersey Conspiracy Theory sidekick of Randy Engel, in her stating that Diane Thompson choose not to sue the Diocese of Pittsburgh in 1978, as if Thompson were a noble and self-giving person.
The reason why that comment is an extreme insult to me is addressed. It has to do with my mother dying when I was young. A hospital blood transfusion killed her, but only after a long and painful illness. Lots of pain. Lots of pain.
We family members, in our graciousness, decided not to sue the hospital under the logic, "Well, it won't bring back mom. So, what's the point?"
In as much, it is deeply offensive to see the vicious, insulting, and lying Diane Thompson being counted among the self-giving and me ... the guy who sues everybody, according to Thompson.
Uhhhhhm, I have not filed a personal lawsuit since the Year 2000. That amounts to TWENTY-SIX years ago. So, Thompson once again lied about me.
Randy Engel's great downfall is that she is not a team-player. She is merely out for herself. She's the overly domineering hag who wants to run the show and be the queen. It's her way or the highway.
Well, she'll be dethroned in due time. But for now, she shows no signs of remorse for inflicting the added amount of stress that was imposed upon heart patient, Anthony Cipolla ... an amount of stress that did kill him, in 2018. And of course, it was during Engel's doing of the three-part article when Cipolla ever so coincidentally died of a heart attack.
Engel and her New Jersey Conspiracy Theory friend couldn't let Cipolla rest with his diabetes, bypass surgery heart condition, and his neuropathy (intense back pain included). Naaaaaah. Not them.
Engel couldn't let Anthony get a drop of emotional rest. Then, after Cipolla died, Engel just couldn't spare pain from being inflicted upon the same Anthony Cipolla's own family members. She had to write the most damning article anyone could have written about Cipolla. But, she included a narration of Pennsylvania criminal procedure which did NOT exist, instantly showing what a farce that article was and is.
None then less, mighty Randy Engel had to reek further havoc on the
Cipolla family reputation. Now, I had the Cipolla situation completely monitored, to see if he were a molester or not. I then discovered that there was no need for monitoring. In as much, to think that I was the one who spoke the most with Cipolla during the last three years of his life was an erroneous thought.
He had ample telephone contact with others, being that he still had a
following. None the less, the most common thing Cipolla said to me
through the years was "I have another call coming. I have to take
this call."
Furthermore, Diane Thompson made it sound as if I had no sources
of information and that I only wrote what Cipolla told me to write.
Oh no. Nobody tells me what to write.
In as much, in order to be a great leader, you have to first prove that
you faithfully take orders and follow them. None the less, when it
came to the Cipolla Case, I wrote as I saw fit.
Mike Volpe of Chicago autonomously wrote what he willed about
the case, and others spoke about the case from their free will. No
one was anyone's puppet.
In fact, as I previously stated, not only was I NOT Cipolla's puppet,
Cipolla and I had mini-World-War-III over the telephone more than
once. After all, Donald Wuerl brings out the worst in everybody.
He surely brought out the worst in me. None the less, I was NOT
Cipolla's yesman and he surely was not mine.
I wrote only that which could be backed-up with evidentiary support
and corroborative witness accounts, as well as an occasional expert
witness conveyance. After all, I kept telling the public to test my
writings for cracks. So, go ahead and test my posts about Cipolla,
Ference, the Seminary Whistleblower, and Torquato's accuser for
cracks, along with my writings on Wolk, Zula, Pucci, Hoehl, Huff,
etc for cracks and contradictions.
Of course, I originally opened the lines of communication with
Anthony Cipolla, because I was asked to meet with him. I then
kept the lines open with him, waiting for him to confess that he
molested Diane Thompson's two sons. Then the evidence came
in, and everything alleged about Cipolla turned out to be a sick
joke.
When the truth was finally found, I ended up saying, "You idiots!
Why didn't anyone show me this stuff sooner?"
While we are at it . . .
Let's address Engel's insinuation that Cipolla had to have been a
serial molester, being that he received more parish assignments
than is regarded as normal by today's standards.
1} As was observed in the history of the Diocese of Pittsburgh,
when a priest commits sexual abuse, what is done with him???
ANS: He is first moved OUT OF STATE. Hoehl to Toronto.
Wolk, Zula, and Pucci to Maryland. Edward Huff to St. Louis.
Esposito to Arkansas. Torquato to Rome, "to finish his educa-
tion." Etc.
Now, was Cipolla sent out of state in the 1970s? ANS: NO.
In as much, the story of Diane Thompson being told by then
Bishop Vincent Leonard that Cipolla was diagnosed with a
severe form of sexual pathology was nothing more than the
story of a repeatedly proven liar. She fabricated the story.
She lied. I saw the psychiatric paperwork. It has my finger-
prints on it. Mike Volpe saw the digital version of Cipolla's
psychiatric assessment. No sexual perversity mentioned.
Only Depression and Suicidal Tendencies.
2} Cipolla's last two assignments were five years each. That is a
lot of time to be posted anywhere as a diocesan priest. More-
over, the early 1970s were the Vietnam Years, followed by
the Peace, Love, Brotherhood, and College Campus LSD
days. They were the "I have to find myself" days, as well
as the Kwai Chang Caine (of Kung Fu fame) days, where
people have the idea of searching for the truth, mingled
with the onset of college campus hedonism. Now, Cipolla
was trained at a missionary seminary which had the mission-
ary mindset . . . the traveling mindset.
Plus, plus, plus, during the 1970s, Pittsburgh was one of the
most prosperious cities on Earth. There was not yet the priest
shortage that accompanied the Donald Wuerl years. A priest
was NOT bound to a parish out of logistical desperation on
the part of the bishop who couldn't attract enough seminari-
ans. Cipolla's goal was a Padre Pio Franciscan-type Mission.
And he WAS extremely popular during his Padre Pio days.
All in all, Cipolla was never shipped out of state during the
1970s. That was the tell-sign ... tale-sign.
Then came the theatrics which made Thompson and her family
look like a monastery of saintly heroes. The "second dad" was
said to have gone through an accident and explosion at a mili-
tary base that did NOT exist as one since 1946. None the less,
the easy sign of a liar and double sensationalism, such as an
accident and explosion.
Thompson's fatal is that fairy tale consisted in her omitting the
#1 symptom that all guys get when in an explosion. That of
ringing in the ears. My dad, of course, was a decorated Air
Force combat veteran who even saw and heard the right wing
airship blow into a ball of fire while the bomb group was over
its target. Dad suffered from chronic ringing in the ears. So,
the description of that accident and explosion that was said to
have occurred at a base no longer in operation was sophomor-
ic.
The Engel article made the Thompson clan sound like a clan of
saints. Way over the top. Then, the woman who provoked En-
gel into writing the article had the audacity to state that Thomp-
son heroically refrained from suing the diocese. Well, the tale
of Diane Thompson was go bogus at face value that no lawyer
would waste his/her time with it. I've explained the fallacies
set forth as face, especially in the description of criminal pro-
cedure narrated by Thompson through Engel and the Pitts-
burgh Post Gazette of years past.
Proof that Thompson elected to not sue the diocese out of the
goodness of her heart is that Thompson publicly sought to get
a law firm to sue me. Of course, her story is such a farce that
no law firm would waste their time with her. The New Jersey
Conspiracy Theory Housewife was more than willing to lie,
and she was more than willing to believe a story of criminal
procedure that didn't come close to having ever existed. An
SNL skit couldn't be more ridiculous then the narration found
in the Engel three-part article.
