Did Pagones initially engage in suspicious conduct or conduct which could be inferred as proof of his guilt?
Yes. Edwin Garcia, in effect, stated that immediately after Pagones’ girlfriend, the FBI agent, participated in the interview of Tawana, Pagones, coincidentally, asked Garcia, the state trooper, to maintain a surveillance of the Brawley family. He did, including the stopping of Ralph King, Tawana’s stepfather. Garcia came forward in 1997 after he read a New York Magazine article in which Pagones was proclaiming his innocence. Garcia knows better. Pagones’ arson investigator, a deputy sheriff in Dutchess County, inexplicably, went to the hospital to secure Tawana’s rape kit. He purportedly moved out of the state and has not been able to be located or summoned to court. No accounting was ever given of the questionable rape kit especially since hospital personnel removed the feces from Tawana’s body first. The washing resulted in the removal of trace evidence.
