SHE-MALE PORN STAR AND THE SNAKEMAN
May 31 2004
Bite victim's bizarre secret
By Lachlan Mackinnon
SNAKEBITE riddle Scot Garrick Wales was close friends with a 'she-male' porn star, it emerged last night.
US police probing the married businessman's death revealed his links to Joanna Jet, a male sex performer with long blonde hair and34C breasts.
Detective Eric Knowles said: 'We were told by the Wales family that this Joanna was his girlfriend. I don't mean they were necessarily any more than friends.'
Millionaire's son Garrick was found dead in a car on May 13 after collecting a box of deadly snakes from an airport in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Police are waiting to see if test results will confirm fears that hewas killed by a bite.
As Garrick's wife and three kids grieved, British-born Joanna recalled her friendship with him in an internet tribute. The porn star said: 'It was our secret, something his wife and children knew nothing about.
'There was nothing sordid or juicy about it. It was just two people who enjoyed each other's company.'
Joanna claimed he and Garrick spent time together in Paris before the Scot's fatal trip to America this month.
He said: 'We had a magical couple of days filled with nothing but smiles and happiness.
'He was, to the very last breath, a true Scotsman.'
Sources say Garrick met Joanna two years ago at a champagne promotion night in a London club. Joanna claims they shared an interest in collecting champagne, as well as a passion for reptiles.
Friends of Garrick in Scotland knew nothing of any interest he had in snakes. They cannot understand why he ordered a shipment of the creatures from a supplier in America.
Garrick collected a 6ft green mamba,a 4ft black mamba,a 5ft forest cobra and a 14in twig snake from Little Rock airport.
He was then found dead at the wheel of his hired car.
Police later discovered the snakes at the roadside half a mile away. One theory is that Garrick died as he drove to get help after being bitten.
Detective Knowles said: 'Whether he had a snake fetish, we simply don't know.
'This is definitely not a homicide there is no foul play. All other possibilities remain open.'
Joanna believes Garrick may have been killed by the ongoing effects of a snakebite he suffered last year in South Africa. He said: 'He had never fully returned to health.
'Regular blood transfusions seemed to be keeping it at bay, but each transfusion was proving less effective than the last.'
Joanna describes himself on his website as a 5ft 4in blonde with a 34C-26-34 figure.
He says he has homes in London and Los Angeles, and admits his sexual tastes 'can best be described as depraved'.
Joanna boasts: 'I will happily indulge in all kinds of sexual activity in almost any kind of scene. The hardest part is finding other performers that will sink to my level.'
Joanna has starred in films including Shemale Jet-Set and Brazen Shemales. He said: 'To get on the box cover of a top-selling video was my goal for two years. It's a validation thing.'
Garrick's wife Pamela teaches at a school in Kilmacolm, Renfrewshire. The couple's children are all pupils there.
Of course! I always serve my champagne with sexual depravity. Screw the caviar or fois gras! What a freaking bizarre story...
Mamba's are really lightspeed fast. Anybody who has ever lived in Africa respects this serpent. I think the Mamba (black) got him.
Never mind, don't answer. Think I'll take the Blue Pill on this one, lol.
Is Fahmy Malak still the Little Rock, Ark. coroner?
Do we really HAVE to know all this?
Proof positive: always keep your fantasies and realities separate. He should have thought of the pain (shame) he would put his family through. Oh, well, he'll always be immortalized on a she-male website in cyberspace.
I wouldn't bet a nickle on the word of a porn star.
At her home in Kilmacolm, the wife of 48-year-old Garrick Wales confirmed that police in the state of Arkansas are looking into how her husband died. It is believed his body was found close to four deadly snakes near the town of Little Rock
Pamela Smith, a reporter covering the story for part of the ABC network, said:
"There was a discovery of a box of live, venomous reptiles on a city street in the eastern part of Little Rock. As it turns out, the snakes would be later linked to a gentleman from Scotland, who was found dead in a rented Chevy Blazer about a half a mile from where the snakes had been located. We are told that his body was sent to the crime lab, and then is expected to be shipped back to Scotland for his wife to make funeral arrangements, but police are not saying very much about the exact cause of death. The only thing that has been made public as far as linking his death to the snakes is the fact that they found certain body fluids in the vehicle which would be related to a deadly snakebite."

THE funeral of a Scots businessman who died mysteriously in the US was being held today.
About 200 friends and members of his family thronged the Old Kirk, Kilmacolm, to say goodbye. His wife, Pamela and their teenage children, Christopher, Zoe and Michael, joined his two brothers, Barclay and Glenn, for the service of thanksgiving.
The ceremony was led by the Rev Gordon Irving, along with the Rev Dr Laurence Whitley, a close family friend.
Dr Whitley spoke of Mr Wales’ childhood and "adventures" as he was growing up.
He likened Mr Wales, who studied business studies at university and was a cross-country champion, to the good Samaritan of biblical parable.
Dr Whitley said: "The school community, village community, church community and wider community are in shock. He was a remarkable and unique man whose greatest joy was his family. He would put himself out for anybody. He had a cheerful face and was a human face in the hi-tech world.
"Those of us who knew Garrick viewed him with respect and admiration. To be a friend of Garrick’s was to be changed by him.
"He made us think of possibilities that otherwise we would never have considered. If he could do the things he did with such flair and vision, it made us think maybe we could too."
The family later went on to a private committal service.
Donations were made to an undisclosed African charity of Mr Wales’ choice.
