The Goudeau Home is Robbed on Wednesday ? Or Was It a Ruse Constructed By Public Safety Manager Jack Harris and Phoenix Homicide?

We received word that the home of Wendy and Mark Goudeau was robbed on Wednesday, July 14 (Bastille Day.) Wendy explains that while she left for a couple of hours to visit Mark someone gained entry to her home, taking laptops and phones. So the question we all want answered is: Was this really a robbery or just a ruse?

Let?s look at the history here.

We have blogged about Wendy, Mark and their home numerous times before. We are not conspiracy theorists at all. Quite the contrary. We don?t think the World Trade Center was an inside job, but we believe and know Jack Harris and the Phoenix PD are corrupt shitbags. We hear it all the time from good cops and good employees in the City of Phoenix.  What we know is Wendy?s home is around 1000 square feet. If you want to visualize 1000 square feet, go step outside and find 5-6 consecutive parking spaces. It?s not a very big area but comfortable enough for Mark and Wendy.

We also know their home has been search officially 4 times by the Phoenix PD.  The first time Mark Goudeau was on parole so the Phoenix PD didn?t need a warrant. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th time a warrant was served since Mark wasn?t physically living there. It is rumored that one of these warrants was run by Heather Polombo (the second time the police visited, or warrant number 1). It wasn?t until the 3rd search warrant (the 4th time the cops visited) did they find jewelry alleged to be from some victims in the Baseline murders. Jewelry that was absent of all DNA ? not a single trace of anything ? yet stuffed in a shoe in the bedroom.

So the Phoenix PD want us to believe that while in jail this construction worker Mark Goudeau was diabolic enough to take trophies from these victims, clean them down with Clorox to eliminate all traces of DNA (including his own), then stuffed them in a bag, in a shoe, on a shelf in plain view, in a home that is 1000 square feet. The cops didn't and couldn't find these trophies and no one in the Goudeau family found them, after three prior search warrants and one other search had been served? And all this time Wendy Goudeau never noticed a shoe, in plain view with a bag of jewelry in it AND didn't either attempt to hide it, destroy it or give it to the police - jewelry that was so unremarkable, it could have been purchased at any WalMart?

WOW  That's an impressive feat. So if this is their theory, then the Phoenix PD are openly admitting they can't executed search warrants and missed four times this important evidence?  If they won't admit to this, then there absolutely has to be someone else involved with or committing these murders (and hiding the jewelry in the shoe for Mark) and they have yet to be captured.   How did the jewelry get there if Mark is in jail and the Phoenix police missed it?

None of it makes any sense.

So Mark was extremely brilliant, but amazingly inept? Diabolical - yet lazy? The Phoenix PD can't find key evidence in 1000 square feet of house, with 4 attempts? Then why bother serving a search warrant or maybe they should go back to search warrant school!  One would think by watching TV cop shows, the top places one might look is under a bed, in a refrigerator, in a night stand drawer, or in a shoe, but I guess this isn't taught in Search Warrant Execution school in Phoenix, Arizona with the Phoenix police department.  We wonder why the officer who ?found? this jewelry, said during the search warrant, ?Don?t worry, I?ll take the bedroom alone? and then ?found? this cache of Walmart trophies in a shoe in plain view, all by himself.

So is the Goudeau robbery a 5th raid by the Phoenix PD or is it a truly a robbery? Let?s look at some facts as we see them:

1) Wendy spends a lot of time at home. We know this because she told us.  Her home was robbed when she went to go visit Mark in jail. It's sort of an interesting time for a home to be robbed, a time and place where the Phoenix PD know her whereabouts. Are we to believe that someone is scoping out this 1000 square foot home, waiting in 116 degree heat with 30+ percent humidity, for the 2 hour window to steal laptops and a cell phone, or is it a brazen coincidence?

2) When the officers arrived, they appeared aloof. One is rumored to have called Alex Femenia, which can be easily confirmed with a cell phone trace. Is it standard to call Alex Femenia on this case, while he works for the County Prosecutor?s office? That just seems to be an odd phone call to make. (note: we better request those records now or they may be lost ? like Mark Goudeau?s were that proved he wasn?t in the area of at least several murders.)

3) There was no sign of forced entry on the Goudeau home and the place was not overturned. Two laptops and a cell phone were stolen among some other small pieces of jewelry. We sent our own roving reporter down to the Goudeau house to take our own photos of the crime scene (the cops didn?t take any?one would think they would on such a high profile case?No?). See for yourself.
