(Casolaro had been working for a year on a book on allegations made in 1983 that the U.S. Justice Department had misappropriated software developed by Inslaw Inc., a Washington company.
He was on the point of cracking the story that had absorbed him for a year, he told several people, including his brother, his girlfriend and Hamilton, an inventor who says the Justice Department stole the computer software system he and his wife devised. Casolaro had begun investigating the INSLAW case, a tangled affair of government perfidy and international intrigue. He found out about related scandals - BCCI, S&Ls, Iran-Contra, the October Surprise - but until last week, he found nothing about Inslaw. Then, he joyfully said, he hit Bingo. One more interview and the case was cracked
His brother, Dr. Anthony Casolaro, doesn't believe it was suicide. Nor does anyone who knew him - or talked to him in his last days He also said embalming the body before the family even knows he is dead and not getting their permssion could have affected blood work. The last known call he made was to his mother. He told her he was on Route 81 in Pennsylvania. He would be late, but he was headed home.) paraphrase courtesy of M. Warner)
