Prosecutors, who do not believe Henning is incompetent, expect to have Park Elliot Dietz, a forensic psychiatrist from Newport Beach, California, perform their competency evaluation. Dietz has been a prosecution witness in several high-profile cases, including Dahmer, Kaczynski, Erik Menendez and John Hinckley, Junior. He was convicted of the assassination attempt on President Reagan. The Horner Report has long been aware that the acclaimed Mr. Dietz is on the actual witness list for the Hossencofft case. Several months ago, I learned that Mr. Dietz agreed to be an expert witness for the prosecution after viewing this web site.
Investigators seem intent on building a case largely based on forensic evidence.
Detractors might suggest police are on a fishing expedition. In a sense they're right. Here's another fly fishing tie-in to the case. When police searched the apartment one day after Girly disappeared, they found the damp, light-red stains on the carpeting. The apartment smelled like bleach.
