By Mark Arax
Your book is truly incredible. I have deep respect and admiration for all you went through in your endeavor to find out the truth behind your father’s murder.
In your book, you mentioned several names that coincide with what I have uncovered here in Fresno. Not to mention the treatment I have received from our local agencies – identical to what you describe. Even the way you described your friends and relatives acting – same thing here. Like clones from another planet. (I believe I may have a shocking explanation for that – later.) You stated that your father’s murder was linked to something he uncovered – something very big that would affect the valley – so have I. Your father’s discovery entailed drugs – so does mine. Drugs used to discredit, incapacitate, annihilate, film with hidden cameras, or to turn a person into an alcoholic, suicidal or even a psychotic killer who will carry out the “dirty work.” The “dirty work” I am referring to is eliminating people who own property that has not yet been torn apart and patched back together as the city water system is secretly altered. Water diversion. An operation that began 45+ yrs ago – involving the “good old boys.”
It was also 1972 when Weber Ave. was being torn up. I remember because I was in High School and my girlfriend had a “crush” on someone who lived near there. We used to drive by (closer to the McKinley end) and were inconvenienced about having to go around the roadwork. By the time the roadwork was completed (McKinley to Clinton), which I distinctly remember taking quite some time, the road was different. The ponding basin on the corner of McKinley and West had also grown significantly – weren’t a row of homes removed 1 blk north of McKinley? I looked in old maps to verify if my suspicions were right. Sure enough, (new) old road maps (sold on ebay) as well as plat/parcel maps have been altered to cover up these alterations, as though things were always this way. Same as it has been done from one end of Fresno to the other, which is why there are no older records of Fresno. Old directories have also been altered. Photos from online news archives are either missing, altered or darkened so details cannot be seen. Other than scanned/altered photographs, few originals remain. (That includes personal photographs – another chapter.)
Also strikingly similar to your father’s situation is another unsolved murder, across the street from me, on Olive Ave. William (“Bill”) Wyatt Polzin was shot and killed in 1994 as street work was taking place. No motive; no clues left behind the murder – or so the story goes. More major reconstruction to street and private property yet no record for any of it. No permits or inspections – only altered plat/parcel maps to make it appear that things were always this way. Bill’s neighbors at the time claimed not to know or see anything – not even structural alterations. Because the same alterations were taking place on their property! These same neighbors later moved around the corner then said that nothing had taken place on my family’s 3 properties or the Laundromat across the alley. Because once again, it was also being done to theirs! They have trails of this – public records show how people intertwine as this operation is carried out. Planted neighbors and tenants are later used as the “credible witnesses” that nothing took place. Our properties ended up looking as shoddy as the rest of them. It is not “neglect” that has left the Tower Dist. looking like this – click on these 2 links: (THE LINKS ARE HERE – COLOR IS NOT SHOWING UP – CLICK!) ===>http://tinyurl.com/5rvxxv http://tinyurl.com/6yvjt8<=== Fresno Police detectives offered a reward for information pertaining to the Polzin murder - yet my attempts to provide information do not appear wanted or even allowed.
Your book mentions how your dad's friends were offering to "help" with remodeling and renovations. How familiar – and aren't those "drunks" the icing on the cake. Helping them out of sympathy. That is how they initially get into the plumbing to carry out the alterations for what is coming; inside and outside. Sewage back spills are especially common, blamed on "old pipes." By the time it is over, nothing is standing as it was when originally built. Yet in most cases the changes are so subtle, the public does not see it. Chemicals can even be used in a manner that leaves the occupant unable to see it! In my case, after the suspected homicide of my family members, loosening newly-clamped lines and cancellation of property insurance coverage as mold consumed 1 of the structures resulted in the loss of our 2 income properties. No amount of money, repairs, or a new roof helped. Pulling this off in the winter, with damage to the roof and walls made it appear to be from the rain; how could we have possibly known about the clampled lines beneath. They use every trick in the book.
Mark, in short, I have evidence that the City / County of Fresno are having people annihilated / eliminated in order to vacate property so they can secretly replace the water system. To be perfectly honest, I do not see how Weber Ave. could have been altered the way it was, without tearing your dad’s tavern apart. No one would have seen that take place – the road was closed. Putting structures back together is not difficult – half the “drunks” are licensed contractors who collect benefits. By the time they got done with us, there was suspected homicide, poisoning and attempted murder, death after repeated exposure to raw sewage, fraudulent and forged legal documents, fraudulent insurance policy and more.
Recurring sewage backspills gave the risk analyst access to my property behind the 2 income properties we lost. She took countless photos of what was stolen; she then denied taking the photos. She used her “release for clean-up” as her ticket of non-responsibility. For 3 yrs, while trying to make sense of what happened to our properties to cause such horrendous damages, this woman lied to me. All the while, she insisted that I was not to speak to anyone else about the sewage back spills – only her. Upon finally being caught in all her lies, the senior risk mananger (Kerry Trost) stepped in and together, they turned the tables and had a Restraining Order issued against me – making ME the criminal and deeming ME a “danger to HER life.” Death threats followed. Reporting this woman as a ‘danger to the public’ resulted in a threatening reminder from the City that I am not allowed to report ANY of this to them – I am only allowed to contact Mr. Trost, who committed perjury to cover up the lies and actions of the risk analyst as well as discredit the city’s own (unaltered) sewer layout (as well as photos from Flood Control), which verify EXACTLY what was done to these properties. It has been done throughout the entire city. Upon asking Mr. Trost about the new, relocated water meter in the alley, he demanded, “That is YOUR problem – it is on YOUR property!” When I reminded him that I do not own the alley nor maintain city water meters, he demanded, “THIS IS OVER!” Because the water meter is connected to the sewer vent in my yard that went from 2′ to 10′ from the fence; more evidence of what took place. Mr. Trost has since refused to acknowledge me.
Had I not known Wilbert G. Swieso (former employee of the city, in the 60s) for 20 yrs, including employed by him on 2 occasions, I would not have known about the years he has been doing this to his insurance clients. Even then, I never realized the truth or connected it to the years I heard about illegal water diversion taking place, until he and the Dept. of Public Works were caught in action. I was also told about development headed beyond Friant/Madera by Swieso as well as his partner – the owner of Mono Hot Springs resort. (Winslow, above link.) This is the one who told me I would be meeting the others, including his former wife, “in another world.” He talked of the piped water he would have throughout the campgrounds once the water at the dam was raised. He also talked about a massive project he was involved in with the Mono Indians – how about the $250 million Mono Casino and possibly the nearby Chuckchansi Casino. These gentlemen are linked to City and County officials as well as developers.
Although by now, nearly every structure on every block has been altered over the course of 45+ yrs, it is the ones facing the main roads, such as Weber and Olive Ave. where the bigger construction takes place – excavating and illegal tie-ins to the main line. Hence, our so-called “infrastructure upgrade.” One that has left the entire city setting on top of clamped sewer and water lines as the city has been turned inside out and left a shambles. No one sees or questions anything. All of this has been carried out behind our backs yet right under our noses.
In the past I tried desperately to contact you. To meet with you, and tell you all that I uncovered, because I do believe this may be the motive behind your father’s murder. Of course I also wanted your help in exposing all of this, as I dreamed of having these heinous monsters stopped and held accountable. By now, I realize that even if this was the missing link to your father’s murder, the danger of stepping into such a story may not be worth it – you have a family that needs you. This appears to be much bigger than just Fresno – no one is going to stop these people – they are ruthless. And extremely dangerous. (Although in my case, they have me pinned in, with no way out. I have no choice but to continue screaming because without help or restitution, I cannot survive.)
In short, your book helped me to connect even more than I would have otherwise. If this is the motive behind your father’s death, your “radar” zeroed right in on it. But like clamped lines beneath a structure, how could you have possibly known or even suspected. Your years of pain and searching for answers were not in vain, Mark. Your love and dedication are quite a tribute to your father. God bless you and your family for all you endured. By the way, your wife sounds like one of the most incredible women in the world.

Whoa! Something just occurred to me regarding my friend, mentioned above. Her former boyfriend was the brother of someone mentioned in your book – NOT one of your favorites. He also lived by your dad’s tavern – 2 blks from the house we were driving by!
All I can do is look back – I am quite certain by this time, my friend had been recruited by S.H. So who really knows why we were driving by there – I never even saw her speak or take a 2nd look at the person she claimed to have a crush on.
(There are two S.H.’s involved from the 60s + 70s – both linked to MDW.)
__________________________________________
You mention Police Officers in your book. I was dating one in 1973. (Set up.) He quit his job, because someone was going to teach him, “How Bonnadelle made his fortune.” (“Operation Rezone?”)
This is one of the people linked to the Laundromat across the alley from me, where the owner vanished after being targeted. He is linked to my “friends” from the bank where I worked from 1973-1979, and apparently the entire entourage behind my nightmare. Coincidentally, 1 of the 3 people in the dept. where I worked back then became Swieso’s office manager in the 90s! (More.)
Was surprised to read about my “good friend” Livvie’s brother-in-law, BUTCH! Imagine that – never did she tell me about the connection to former Chief of Police, Hank Morton – yet clearly, she knew how my family had been victimized by Morton back in the 60s. She even took me to a party – not telling me who “Jeannie” was until AFTER the fact. But Jeannie knew who I was. Behind my back, Livvie was connected to my other “friends” who participated in what was done to my family and me. In fact at one time, she was even employed by Swieso!
Livvie and I met while working for Robert N. Klein, Jr. in the 80s – remember his father was the city manager back in the 60s. Development. (Another set-up …. JFM and Swieso followed.) Coincidentally, Swieso also worked for the city, back in the 60s. (When the city lost a law suit for water rights at Friant?) The 60s – Gov. Brown – linked to water. And now his son is our Atty Gen.
Your family owned Peacock Mkts.!?! JCW’s friend/partner of 35+/- yrs is RAB. My friend became RAB’s 7th wife who pleaded for help, saying she was being poisoned with intent to kill. Like me, no one believed anything she said due to the behavior while being poisoned either. She died, age 39. She and I both met RAB in the 80s – that is when I began hearing about Peacock Mkts. He was tearing them up and putting them back together. Carrying on and on about the owner being one of his best friends. (He used to say the same about me, as he helped run us off our properties and set me up with JCW for annihilation.)
Not sure when Mid-State Bowl closed but I recall Swieso boasting about all the beautiful wood and supplies he got from a bowling alley that closed down. Not that wiping businesses out and taking the contents is new – but there are not that many bowling alleys in Fresno. Considering who else was/is in the neighborhood, just a thought.
I’ve got more names and surprises that intertwine with your book than you can imagine. People who feign “honesty” and/or “friendship” – that is how the entire operation is carried out; we don’t see it coming or know of the connections. Years of fake “friendships” (including “friends” of our parents who we grew up trusting and believing in) leave remaining victims totally alone and without help once the atrocities take place. I’ll never forget WGS getting mad when I finally realized I could no longer trust him or anyone else – he demanded, “G.D. it – you NEED to trust SOMEONE!” Why – so he could secretly intercept and pass the torch to that person?!? As done time and again? My new friends are from the SPCA – all with 4 legs.
UPDATE/RECAP! Without all the rambling. Fake work crews accompany Public Works during major road work / construction. They take care of “vacating” the property so Public Works can replace sewer/water lines. Then they quickly reconstruct the property. Because none of it is authorized, there are no permits or inspections, which allow these structures to continue being sold as “original.” Same entourage throughout the years – leaving a trail of ID theft, forged deeds of people never seen again, suspected homicide, unsolved murder/s. Mark – take a good look at the outside walls of your dad’s tavern.
Why the Arax murder will never be solved. See the last / final comment on this blog below, regarding another unsolved murder:
Unsolved murder may intertwine in massive Fresno cover-up
