Ted Gunderson was never head of the FBI. He is a total weirdo who makes expensive speeches telling any fool who will listen that McMartin was real.
If you even want to know if McMartin was real, watch the entire videos of the kids being interviewed, how they were coached to lie, how they said the abuse happened in Las Vegas, how they met with Elvis, rode in Space Ships, etc.
It does not appear that Ted Gunderson is still living, Strac. I wonder why he is listed as the head of the LA FBI.
Born: Nov 07, 1928 · Colorado Springs, CO
Died: Jul 31, 2011 · Memphis, TN
“Theodore L. Gunderson was an American Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent In Charge and head of the Los Angeles FBI. According to his son, he worked the case of Marilyn Monroe and the John F. Kennedy cases. He was the author of the best-selling book How to Locate Anyone Anywhere.”
That’s just general bio info. The following link contains in-depth information with numerous additional sources listed which detail in more depth some of the evidence he uncovered during his retirement:
Specifically as it relates to McMartin case:
McMartin Preschool
Ted played a formidable role in the exposure of the satanic/sexual cover-up in the McMartin Preschool case (Manhattan Beach, California) which had involved over 450 children in the 3-5 year old range over a period of years. The story occupied national headlines for most of the 1980’s and, once again, prosecutors were anxious to sabotage the investigation to conceal the identity of powerful and well connected pedophiles who were abusing these kids at off site locations and had them returned to the school before the parents arrived to pick up their children. The CIA created a front group called The False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) to debunk, reticule, and defame victims (and their advocates) of Satanic Ritual Abuse, pedophilic sexual abuse, and CIA cult mind control activities. The board members of FMSF reads like a Who’s Who of CIA contractors and ‘consultants’. Incredibly, Peter and Pamela Freyd , executive directors of the FMSF along with FMSF founder, Dr. Ralph Underwager, have fallen from public grace because they, themselves, have been involved in the very abuse that they claim is a result of ‘false’ memory’ on the part of very young children.

I searched but could not find verification of what you describe about Mr. Gunderson or the other details. Perhaps I need to be better at searching.
I seriously doubted McMartin too, but old friend who was a partner at Holland & Knight in Miami swore up and down that it was real…also, that more pedo stuff was going on in Everglades.
