Recently appointed First Assistant District Attorney at the Dallas County District Attorney's Office. Formerly Assistant US Attorney
Northern District of Texas.
Once described as "A woman in love with the Sex Abuse Agenda"
In both the Reedy trial and to the world’s media, Terri Moore (now First Assistant District Attorney at the Dallas County District Attorney's Office) presented accounts; accounts that are materially at odds with the truth and materially at odds with the evidence the prosecution were in possession of.
Moore is aware of misconduct by a number of state operatives relating to this case, yet her own words have been misinforming the worlds populous, indeed as recently as 2006 in a broadcast produced by the BBC and RTE television.
To quote a sample of what she said in the broadcast by RTE television released in Ireland on 25/05/2006:
‘It was a young agent, his name is Frank Super, he is a very good agent, but at the time he was very green, he was right out of school, and just very inexperienced. A good person but you can’t blame someone for being inexperienced. And so when he was assigned to go follow up on the complaint that came in, he went by the Reedy’s business, it was just a stone’s throw from where my office is located now, and left a card and later ended up talking to Thomas Reedy. Thomas Reedy can be convincing, I think he’s, he’s a shyster, and I think he fooled Frank Super. I’m sorry for Frank but I doubt if Frank will ever be fooled again, he will not be quite so naïve.’
Comments built on a fabrication used in an attempt to secure a conviction in court. The consequences of false information of this nature are substantial and her words carry weight as an official story. The consequences remain ongoing and that includes in Texas itself.
A letter authored by Thomas Reedy was published some years ago. Soon afterwards statements attributed to Dallas Detective Steven Nelson were published in the press and Thomas Reedy was assaulted in prison.
If the reader is aware of the published article by Thomas Reedy, you will notice after studying the following report that relevant statements by Thomas Reedy were evidentially true whereas statements made under oath in court by FBI Special Agent Frank Super were evidentially false.
Special Agent Frank Super of the FBI provided testimony in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas Fort Worth division in criminal case no 4:00-CR-054-Y, the trial commencing 27th November 2000 at 14:05.
This was a child pornography case against Thomas Reedy (1), Janice Reedy (2) and Landslide Incorporated (3) who provided adult verification systems on the Internet. Landslide had had dealings with Special Agent Frank Super of the FBI after the lavish spending of a Sri Lankan government official became a national scandal appearing in the press (The Sunday Leader) on the 21st of June 1998 and a matter of official complaint. A number of adult subscriptions were passed to US authorities for investigation relating to DMR Internet, Cherry Blossoms and Landslide. Frank Super liaised with Landslide in relation to a $49.95 credit card transaction placed there on the 10th of May 1998 for a six
month AVS platinum subscription. Landslide subsequently refunded the payment on the 18th of July 1998.
Thomas Reedy alleged that he subsequently contacted Special Agent Frank Super in relation to child pornography. A considerable number of complaints had been received from subscribers in relation to websites providing or purporting to provide underage imagery. Thomas Reedy further asserted that Special Agent Frank Super told him that a new Dallas Web Task Force was being set up and he would return at that point. Evidence corroborates this contact took place yet on the 8th of September 1999 twelve FBI agents turned up together with USPIS, Dallas PD, USCS and Microsoft in a raid on Landslide offices and subsequently the home of the Reedy’s.
Frank Super was called by the defence at the trial and on the 30th of November 2000 and presented the following testimony under cross examination by defence attorney Wes Ball:

FBI Special Agent Frank Super – direct – defence attorney Wes Ball
By MR. BALL:
Q. Could you tell us your name, please, sir.
A. Frank B. Super.
Q. And how are you employed or occupied, Mr. Super?
A. I’m a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Q. All right. And how long have you been a special agent with the FBI?
A. About three and a half years.
Q. And what sort of occupational line of work were you in prior to becoming a special
agent with the FBI?
A. I was an officer in the United States Marine Corps.
Q. I gather to qualify yourself to become a special agent with the FBI, did you attend a
course of training supplied to all FBI agents at a location, at the FBI location, at Quantico,
Virginia?
A. That is correct.
Q. All right. And let me direct your attention to the matter at hand here. Did you ever
have occasion to have any contact with a company or individuals at a business known as
Landslide?
A. Yes I did.
Q. What is your best recollection of the first inquiry or contact you might have had with
the business or people at Landslide?
A. Okay. In the summer of 1997, I'm estimating around the August time period, the
exact date being a bit unclear, but I know it was during the summer of 1997, my supervisor
at the time, he told me that he had received some information from our Dallas office that a
business located in Fort Worth by the name of Landslide, that someone had been on the
internet and had seen some child pornography.
The complaint came through the Dallas office. Apparently the complainant was
someone over in the Dallas side of the metroplex. And my supervisor gave me a routing
slip or some type of a piece of paper with an address on Belknap Street in Fort Worth, the
name Landslide, and I believe there was a -- there might have been a name of a web site
possibly on there by the name of Child God or something like that. He asked me if I would
go to the address on Belknap Street, look up the owners or those who are responsible for
Landslide, and find out what was going on.
I did so. I went down to Belknap Street at the address. The address on Belknap
Street was a red brick building on the south side of the street. I went in there and inquired
about Landslide. The people there at that office told me that Landslide was actually across
the street in a white building on the north side of Belknap.
So I went across the street and went upstairs to the offices of Landslide, and when
got to the offices no one was there. So I went to the bathroom and when I came out of the
bathroom a lady and a young man were just coming into the office area from outside. She
identified herself as Carol Clark. She told me she was the office manager for Landslide.
I asked her -- Of course, I identified myself as Frank Super, FBI. I showed her my
credentials and I asked her if I could speak with the owner of the company. There was a
complaint regarding some child pornography.
She said she didn't know anything about that, but she told me that if I would give
her my card that she would have the owner call me. I went ahead and gave her my card,
and then I left Landslide.
Q. All right. And was that contact, the individuals that you had contact with at
Landslide, generally cooperative with you?
A. Yes.
Q. Providing whatever information you asked for that they could at that time?
A. Yes, very cooperative.
Q. All right.
A. What happened next was I went back to my office. Over the next two weeks or so,
Mr. Reedy, Thomas Reedy, he attempted to contact me on the telephone. I attempted to
call him back. We kind of played phone tag for a couple of weeks. We finally got in contact
with one another.
Mr. Reedy told me that he was familiar with the web site Child God. He told me that
Child God was an Indonesian child pornography site -- or, correction. He told me it was a
pornography site that sometimes slipped child pornography into its web site.
Q. All right.
A. And he informed me that this had happened periodically with some web sites. He
told me his policy regarding this type of occurrence when child pornography came on to --
or through his system and his folks picked it up was that he would tell the web site "stop
doing that or we're going to cut you off from our system. We're not going to allow you to go
through our domain any longer."
And Mr. Reedy explained to me that with Child God being an Indonesian site that
they were -- From that point on, if they didn't stop, they were going to be cut off from using
his domain, period.
Q. Okay. And did he describe generally how his business worked as far as verifying
the adult status of people that wanted to look at various types of pornography and issuing
them passwords and user names and getting a credit card? Did he give you a general
description of how his business worked?
A. I believe he did; that his business was a credit card verification service that verified
that you're an adult for these web sites.
Q. All right.
A. During the course of the conversation, since Mr. Reedy informed me that he was
aware of some of these web sites that would then slip into this child pornography thing,
you know, being a fresh young agent out of Quantico, we had had classes on our Task
Forces across the United States called Innocent Images which were combating child
pornography, I thought there might be an opportunity at this point to possibly get some
information about illegal activity. And I said, hey, Mr. Reedy, if you get some more of these
web sites that deal in child pornography, especially ones that originate in the United States
where we have some jurisdiction, why don't you go ahead and give me a call.
Q. All right. And was Mr. Reedy's response that he would do that?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. He seemed willing to cooperate in that particular endeavour, correct, sir?
A. That's correct.
Q. And the web site that was the subject matter of the routing slip that you got was
child God as best you recall; is that right?
A. That sounds familiar, yes.
Q. All right. And Mr. Reedy told you that that site occasionally slipped in some child
pornography. He seemed to be aware of that; is that right?
A. Yes.
Q. He used the term "slipped in"?
A. I can't recall the exact term or how it was couched, but he was aware that Child God
had put child pornography in through his domain and that it was wrong, that they weren't
supposed to do that. They knew it, and he was going to tell them to stop doing it or he was
going to cut them off.
Q. All right. Now, he advised you that that site he believed to be someone in Indonesia,
in the country of Indonesia?
A. That is correct.
Q. All right. What was your reaction to learning that as far as your ability to do anything
with regard to the individual running Child God in Indonesia?
A. Well, after Mr. Reedy and I had our conversation, I went and spoke with my
supervisor. We documented the information on a routing slip. We passed the information
up through our chain of command. It was our opinion that, just mine and my supervisor's,
that because the web site in question was in Indonesia, we really didn't have any
jurisdiction there and we went ahead and -- well, we believed there was nothing else we
could do.
It appeared that Mr. Reedy was cooperating, that he understood there was a
problem there and he said he was going to take care of it. We didn't have any other
complaints in Fort Worth, so we went ahead and just routed the information up through the
chain of command and left it at that.
Q. All right. As part of your inquiry and investigation, did you actually go to the site
Child God on a computer somewhere and attempt to look at it?
A. No. No, I didn't.
Q. All right. And was your opinion about the jurisdictional question, was that a subject
matter, the conversation with Mr. Reedy when you told him, well, look, if you see
something in the United States give me a call.
A. I think I did discuss that briefly, yes.
Q. And might you have referred to the Task Force, Innocent Images, during the course
of the conversation, that there was a national task force?
A. Yes. I think I did inform Mr. Reedy that, yes, hey, there's a nationwide effort called
Innocent Images where we're going after these child pornographers. If you get some more
information that originates in the USA, give us a call and we'll go after it.
Q. All right. Did you later have a subsequent contact with Landslide or individuals of
that business?
A. Yes. The next year around August of 1998 time period, our Hong Kong office sent
us a lead, which was a request to gather some information regarding the Sri Lankan chief
of police. Apparently the Sri Lankan chief of police's credit card had been used to
purchase some pornography on the internet. And I guess the subscriber information came
back to Landslide.
So at that time I went ahead back over to Landslide, and I spoke with Ms. Clark
again. I asked her -- I had this information regarding this credit card number. Can you tell
me what this credit card was used to purchase. She got on her computer and said, yeah,
it's been used here. And I can't remember at this point if she printed it out for me there or if
I went back to my office and then she faxed it to me. I can't remember but she did provide
the information which had the IP address where the billing was occurring from.
As a result of her information she gave to me, we were able to trace that the credit
card purchases were actually coming from Sri Lankan and it gave where the IP provider
was at and all that.
Q. All right. Now, this was an assistance of the United States government to Sri
Lankan officials as requested through the Hong Kong office, correct?
A. That is correct.
Q. So were the people at Landslide with regard to the information you requested
cooperative in providing you the documentation that you needed to assist in this matter?
A. Yes. And I think as I recall, Mr. Reedy even called me up and said, hey, did you get
what you needed from Ms. Clark. And I said, yes, thank you.
Q. All right. And as it turned out -- Did Mr. Reedy ask you in the conversation did that
work out, or, did they find out who that was or something? Do you recall having a
conversation where you might have related it turns out it was the police chief's son or
something?
A. I can’t recall if I told him that. I recall that it was a or it appeared to be the police
chief’s son at the time.
Q. All right.
A. But I can’t recall if I told Mr. Reedy that or not.
Q. All right. Now, this particular – that particular part of your investigation regarding the
credit card, did you make a report and create documents –
A. Yes.
Q. -- and forward to Hong Kong or Sri Lanka.
A. As per normal procedure, a report of my conversation was created with – the report
of my conversation with Ms. Clark was done; however, when sending reports that are
going to be seen by foreign governments, the bureau policy is that a letterhead
memorandum is done, which has some different procedures as far as mentioning names
and that sort of thing. So I had to actually make two reports, and those were sent to Hong
Kong. An then Hong Kong, of course, would forward the letterhead memorandum to the
Sri Lankan chief of police and they would take action as necessary.
Q. Okay. You were careful to follow the FBI’s protocol in creating and reporting what
your investigation had shown, correct, sir?
A. That is correct.
Q. Now, with regard to the other matter of inquiry of Child God, did you similarly create
documents, memorandums of interviews, and information gathered during the
investigation of that inquiry?
A. No. On that particular inquiry, we had received the complaint in an unofficial sort of
a phone call, and my boss, I think, wrote it down on a routing slip. "Here, Frank, go check
that out," which isn't all that unusual. The initial investigation that I did after I did it and
speaking with my supervisor, there didn't seem to be anything there. So there was no
official complaint form filled in, no official report.
Reports aren't always done on complaints if it seems like there's nothing there. And,
remember, that at the time I had only been at the field office here for a couple of months,
and I was still kind of getting my feet on solid ground, so to speak, as far as all the
procedures the FBI does follow.
Q. All right. We've had a conversation I think a week or a few weeks ago; is that
correct, sir?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you acknowledge that perhaps hindsight would have been a better practice to
more accurately document the matters of that inquiry?
A. I think 20/20 hindsight, of course, knowing what I know now, three years of
experience helps a whole bunch. If I was to do that much investigation now where I
actually go somewhere and talk to people, I would have definitely written it down on a
complaint form, at least on a complaint form, and document it that way.
Q. And you indicated you did maybe make some notes on the routing slip or something
of that form. Have you attempted to locate that document so that you might refresh your
memory to be a little bit more clear on dates and things of that nature?
A. Yes. When I first heard of this -- the case with Landslide, I did a very extensive
search of my files in Fort Worth, of the files that I kept in another room. I travelled to the
Dallas field office where these types of crimes -- at the time in '97 when we looked into
this, this complaint came from our computer folks. So if the information would have been
written down and sent to Dallas, it would have been to the Dallas squad and put into the
Dallas information file.
I travelled to Dallas. I spent a day there looking through their information files, and I
didn't find it anywhere.
Q. All right. And as we sit here today, you've not been able to locate that document,
correct, sir?
A. That's correct.
Q. All right. And, incidentally, in the course of your contacts with Landslide, Mr. Reedy,
Carol Clark, or anyone else associated with that business on the two occasions and in the
-- I think maybe there was a follow-up phone call from Mr. Reedy about did you get what
you were looking for, did you ever advise Mr. Reedy or anyone else at Landslide to stop
doing what they're doing?
A. To stop doing their business?
Q. Yes, sir.
A. No.
Q. All right. Or that their business was wrong or illegal under any federal law?
A. No.
Q. All right. Thank you, Agent.
Analysis
Had Frank Super corroborated the assertions of Thomas Reedy it would be hard to conceive how there could have been a trial, similarly if the jury had been aware that Frank Super was committing perjury, it would be hard to conceive that a guilty verdict that originally condemned a man to 1,335 years in Federal prison would have materialised. Prosecution testimony at the trial confirmed that this agent had been involved in two investigations involving Landslide, the evidence supports the investigation of the Sri Lankan official except it related to Mangala Samaraweera the Minister of Posts, Telecommunications and the Media rather than the Chief of Police as the FBI’s own records confirm. The evidence indicates that the testimony Frank Super provided in relation to ‘childgod’ and supported by prosecuting attorney Terri Moore was a fiction. Since the trial, new evidence has come to light or been obtained, and evidence has been examined which was overlooked due to ineffective assistance of counsel. Landslide was computerised, and records indicate that the ‘childgod’ website was registered with Landslide on 14/04/1999 and the oldest transaction in the subscriber data carries the same date. Landslide kept computerised accounts, and the first bill registered to this site is dated 30/04/1999. The assertion by Frank Super that he was investigating Landslide in relation to this site in 1997 is rebutted directly by the evidence. As Frank Super had testified in relation to his being fresh out of Quantico, the possibility he had left two years off the date in error is eliminated. USPIS asserted that illegal sites had started appearing late in 1998, refuting the existence of any such sites in 1997 and no sites of a similar name would explain the discrepancy between Frank Supers testimony and the evidence. Frank Super provided a graphic account of a building he visited. Photographs and other evidence have been secured, as this building was scheduled for destruction. Again the testimony of Frank Super is materially at odds with the facts, as the office referred to was not occupied by Landslide in 1997.
201 Belknap street
Frank Super identified Carol F Clark as one of two people he met outside of the upstairs office in 1997; from the description it is likely he was also inferring David Cruz was present and both were at the trial available for use as prosecution witnesses. Employment records indicate that Carol Clark was not employed by Landslide when Frank Super testified he spoke with her, rather payroll records indicate she joined Landslide on the 16th of June 1998, her first paycheque was raised on the 1st of July 1998 and the last on the 15th July 1999. Marble Life who previously employed Ms. Clark recorded her last date of employment as 20/05/1998. Similarly records indicate that David Cruz was not employed by Landslide in 1997, his first paycheque being on the 15th of February 1998 and the last on 13th of August 1999. The evidence eliminates the possibility of Frank Super discussing child pornography with Carol Clark or David Cruz in relation to Landslide outside an upstairs office at 201 Belknap Street. Federal records have been obtained to further evidence the fact that FBI Special Agent Frank Super was simply a liar. There are grounds to believe that the listed Indonesian Webmaster of the ‘childgod’ website had an involvement with US law enforcement, this includes the fact he was indicted under seal in criminal case 4:00-CR-4-00CR-055-Y. The website entryway was hosted on a Russian domain and Dallas Detective Steven Nelson’s testimony puts the hosting location for the illegal material in El Segundo, California. The defence requested that Frank Super provide evidence of his investigation in 1997. Frank Super testified that despite specific and extensive searches, no such evidence could be found. In these specific circumstances, the supply of appropriate supporting evidence would not have been possible.
Former Dallas detective Steven Nelson also provided sworn testimony in the trial in relation to the ‘childgod’ website. Then a detective of 26 years he testified that he captured the contents of the website on the 15th of June 1999.
