"Okay...all you folks who remember HS physics...how much forward momentum must someone have to land "dozens of yards" from the foot of a tower from which one has leapt from the 19th floor?"

Looking at the picture, I agree that this seems highly suspect. Just from guessing, it would seem that she would have to be running full tilt at the window in order to land that far away from the building. This needs more investigation.

Wow. Wondering if she is related to the Olympic-class diver, Klaus Di Biasi?! If so, she took a world-class nose dive here! (sorry, I couldn’t resist! ;-).

William Colby - Another Death related to Clinton

Died April 28, 1996

Former Director of the CIA
Editor of "Strategic Investment" financial newsletter.

Strategic Investment was critical of the Clinton Administration and exposed Clinton's connection with drugs and murder. Strategic Investment also hired three handwriting experts to investigate a letter of resignation referenced as the Foster suicide note. This document was torn in many pieces, void of fingerprints and found in Fosters brief case after a previous search failed to result in it's discovery. The handwriting experts compared this document with that of other Foster writings and concluded the note to be a poor forgery.

According to his family and friends, William Colby was an extremely orderly man and thus the last moments of his life are out of character. The AP first misquoted Mrs. Colby as having spoken to her husband on the day of his death, stating he was not feeling well but was going canoeing anyway. Initial press reports ran "presumed drowned" from an "apparent boating accident" Colby's wife rebutted the AP report The AP later reported that Mrs. Colby had said her husband was feeling fine and never mentioned any plans to go canoeing.

What he had done that evening was call his wife, said he planed to eat dinner, take a shower then goto bed. Investigators suggest that he left his dinner (clams and white wine) went out in his canoe in the middle of the night on a rough and windy river without a lifejacket (not his usual routine) then had a heart attack, slipped into the water and drowned.

His body surfaced in the marsh near his home 1 week after he disappeared. An autopsy suggested he drowned as a result of a heart attack or stroke...

Do you think the medical examiner maybe related to Fahmy Malak?

That picture was taken looking east on the south side of the building (which would be to the left in the photo). The walkway on the left is right next to the building, and what looks like a lawn is a wide grassy swale separating the walkway from the beginning of 42nd Street (the 42nd St. exit from the FDR). There are no windows on the south (or north) side of the building.

Secretariat Building The exterior facings of the 550-foot tall Secretariat Building are exclusively of aluminum, glass and marble. Wide areas of green-tinted glass are unbroken by conventional set-backs. In contrast, the windowless north and south facades of the building are faced with 2,000 tons of Vermont marble.

How could they say that "there was no suspicion of foul play," given the fact that her body was found on the lawn, on the south side (apparently) of a building which has no windows, yet, she allegedly "jumped from a window after showing up to work early in the morning."

More info:

Another U.N. official said De Biase had started out at the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna and worked in the United Nations system for more than 20 years.

And further.....Inner City Press now reporting interesting information on this whole matter:

Sunday evening, Inner City Press published an article with two photographs. The first showed Ms. Di Biase's hand protruding from a blanket placed over her body. In the second, her hands have been covered with bags and tape by the authorities. That day, police sources told Inner City Press that the bags and tape are used when there is a chance of DNA evidence from a struggle being recovered. That is why Inner City Press published the photograph, adding a warning that it might be upsetting to some readers.

Tuesday, two UN officials criticized to Inner City Press the publication of the photo. Both urged that the photo be removed. From the UN's executive office on the 38th floor, an official called the publication "tasteless" and said that the "staff is angry." But on the 5th floor, the office of the UN Staff Union, no such anger was expressed. In fact, solemn encouragement was given to further look into Ms. Di Biase's death, including on the theory that if -- "if" -- she chose to jump out of the 19th floor of the UN, she was not looking for a private and unreported death. Which of these views represents that of UN staff?........
