Responding to all those asking us about Harlow Cuadra's chances of getting off with a light sentence, or even having the case against him dismissed, I will say this: As the last industry reporter to interview BOTH Cuadra and Joe Kerekes the day before their arrests on May 15, 2007, AND exchange detailed communication with them post incarceration, I have discovered something in one of Harlow's letters to me (of which I still have a copy) that ties in DIRECTLY to what the late murder victim BRYAN KOCIS told me by phone in 2006.
This was in regard to his guilty plea in 2002. It has a STRONG CONNECTION to what happened in regard to a little known case brought against a certain gay escort and Soviet bloc video maker who was in DEEP trouble in 2003 until a "cure" was found based on some highly creative negotiations and rumored payoffs...a precedent that very possibly provided the TEMPLATE for the resolution of the Kocis guilty plea in 2006.
I can't say more in view of my strong desire to see justice done and the legal process proceed in this case, but in closing I will make a VERY SIGNIFICANT CONNECTION for you all that almost ALL OTHER REPORTERS HAVE MISSED.
Here it is: It's widely acknowledged in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania that current President Judge Mark Ciavarella was Judge Michael Conahan's handpicked successor. Judge Michael Conahan was the judge overseeing Bryan Kocis' 2002 guilty plea AS WELL AS the judge who "revised" Bryan Kocis' guilty plea in 2006. The actual word Kocis used to me about this was "cured".
Think about that. It has NEVER been satisfactorily explained how Bryan Kocis could operate the business he did out of his house in a residential area OR how he managed to get his guilty plea reclassified and revised. It's simply UNPRECEDENTED. The ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION resides in something that hasn't been admitted to or brought up in any of the depositions or legal filings publicly known to date, although DAMON believes there is SOMETHING locked in the judge's safe that could very well lead to the outright DISMISSAL of ALL charges against Harlow Cuadra EXCEPT being an accessory after the fact...and also lead to the successful prosecution of JOE KEREKES as the person I believe will be shown to be the actual killer, with the death penalty very likely being imposed on Kerekes.
Yes, Bryan Kocis' guilty plea was "cured" because there was a much LARGER issue involved, in my opinion...the true nature and extent of which may never be revealed, but whose possible use at trial (as Cuadra's Atty. Fannick will surely imply) will be enough to greatly mitigate or dismiss the case against Cuadra.
And yes, I believe that Harlow Cuadra and Bryan Kocis had PRIOR CONTACT, unknown and unrevealed, on a different basis than what you might think, specifically in 2006.
PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY for someone or some group much higher up on the food chain is at work here, in the KRUEZER VIEW.
That is my assessment. These are the words of DAMON KRUEZER.

VANISHED BLOGGER MAY HOLD THE KEY TO WHO CONTRACTED THE BRYAN KOCIS MURDER
Missing Blogger "KM" with apparent ties to government agencies involved in the Bryan Kocis murder case may have been "terminated with extreme prejudice" contrary to what his then-partner "PC" has stated...DEVELOPING
THE KRUEZER has been researching the sudden and mysterious disappearance of the co-owner and investigative partner of the well known Handjtrial blog run by "PC" concerning the Kocis-Cuadra-Kerekes murder case. We have discovered strong indications that the person known as "KM" may well have not disappeared by his own choice as PC hastily and clumsily tried to say several months ago, but that KM may literally have been terminated with extreme prejudice because of what he had apparently found out about the case that his then-partner PC was not willing - or was paid - to publish.
An escort who died under mysterious circumstances in Washington last year may well be involved and according to our research, may actually have been KM himself, which would explain so much for those of you who like us, never bought into PC's story of KM's sudden retirement for reasons never made clear.
The truth in this matter may be darker than anyone can imagine, and if our research so far is validated all the way, then the resolution of the Kocis-Cuadra-Kerekes murder case may well depend on what we have discovered concerning the suddenly vanished KM, what he knew, when he knew it...and most of all, what he was planning on doing with this knowledge, based on his alleged connections to high-level government agencies involved in the case.
This could be the "Rosetta stone" that will unlock all the mysteries of this case...especially the identity of the person or company who THE KRUEZER believes actually put out a contract to terminate the late Cobra Video producer, BRYAN KOCIS, a conspiracy which used 2 Virginia Beach escorts who were deeply in debt as all-too-convenient patsies. RESEARCHING...
THE KRUEZER is pursuing this shocking development with full cyberforensic resources and talking with many people. DEVELOPING...

Cuadra reportedly on prescription Abilify med to cope with anticipated "principal killer" accusation
PROSECUTORS IN KOCIS-CUADRA-KEREKES CASE PLAY MIND GAMES WITH THE DEFENSE AS HARLOW IS ALLEGEDLY PRESCRIBED "ABILIFY" MED
Everything now depends on the January 30th hearing, as my sources inform me that both defendants Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes are in a "state of constant agitation and high anxiety" and that the psychotropic prescription drug "Abilify" may have been prescribed for Harlow Cuadra to "modify his increasingly erratic and depressive mood swings" according to my sources.
No doubt it's increasingly dawning on him that his former boyfriend Kerekes has already pointed the finger at him as being the so-called "principal killer" and thus the primary target of prosecutors for the execution gurney.
Says the Times-Leader in this revealing excerpt on January 22:
http://www.timesleader.com/news/20080123_23kerekes_dw_ART.html
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for both suspects.
One of Kerekes’ attorneys, Mark Bufalino, had previously asked a judge to force prosecutors to reveal whether they believe Kerekes was the principal or accomplice. Bufalino needs to know, he said, because he believes it is legal to only seek the death penalty for a principal killer.
If prosecutors do not believe Kerekes is the principal killer, Bufalino indicated he could ask that prosecutors be barred from seeking the death penalty for Kerekes.
Luzerne County Assistant District Attorney Mike Melnick has said evidence in the case “fully suggests” both suspects could be principals in the case.
And in the court papers filed Tuesday by a team of prosecutors, they said they should not have to reveal who they believe is the principal killer and accomplice because “different inferences might reasonably be drawn from the evidence as to who nearly decapitated Mr. Kocis.” It should be a jury’s job, the prosecutors said, to determine principal and accomplice.
Court of Common Pleas Judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. will decide after a Jan. 30 hearing.

New "Reversible Error" Precedent provides Judicial Hope for Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes
Harlow Cuadra has been handed yet more grounds to claim "reversal error" by Luzerne County President Judge Mark Ciavarella assigning one of Bryan Kocis' former lawyers as Cuadra's counsel at the recent preliminary hearing.
New York Federal Judge Kaplan had already provided Cuadra with the grounds to claim that he and Kerekes were denied their right to legal counsel when Judge Kaplan dismissed all criminal charges against former KPMG employees citing the fact that Federal Prosecutors prevented the defendants from being able to afford the legal counsel of their choice.
Now, Judge Kaplan has issued an order holding that a criminal defendant must specifically WAIVE his right to "conflict free representation", that a Judge cannot merely unilaterally decide that an attorney's conflict of interest is not prejudicial to the defendant.
In other words, by the decision of a Federal Judge in New York on a similar "constitutional right issue", Harlow Cuadra must specifically WAIVE his right to "conflict free representation" in order for one of Bryan Kocis' former lawyers (Jonathan Blum) to continue as Harlow's lawyer.
At this point, The Kruezer believes that FRIENDS OF Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes who were holding back on their contributions to the Legal Defense Fund for Cuadra and Kerekes will now act to ensure that Private Attorneys file appeals for Cuadra and Kerekes to get all charges against Cuadra and Kerekes dismissed as a result of judicial errors by Luzerne County.

Damon Kruezer the Only Reporter to Accurately Predict Death Penalty in Kocis Murder Case 36 Hours Before DA Announcement
THE KRUEZER's PREDICTION FULFILLED, our sources verified: EXECUTIONER's NEEDLES PLANNED FOR HARLOW and JOE
NEW YORK CITY - Special Report by Damon Kruezer with contribution by Marc Holstrom, 12:11 AM, October 2, 2007
KRUEZER AT NIGHT was the first - and ONLY - reporter to explicitly predict that the death penalty would be sought 36 hours ago based on direct sourcing from someone close to the D.A.'s office and our own analysis of probability. Unfortunately for Harlow and Joe, we were correct.
Our critics are now eating a healthy portion of crow pie.
As THE KRUEZER predicted almost 36 hours ago, the death penalty will be sought against Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes, as was announced shortly before 6:00 PM ET Monday. We did not jump to announce this since anyone with a feed to the Citizens Voice or other Pennsylvania or regional media would get the news. We waited until now, just after midnight in New York City, to share our analysis and alternative theory of the crime. Many of my rivals scoffed and doubted about my prediction about the death penalty, including most notably the arrogant PC and KM, the chronically erratic Elm, the delusionary DeWayne, and the falsely elitist and vacuously self-described "monster" Dexx Jones and his sock puppets such as the sycophantic studio tool Mark Adams, but the time has now come to leave such personal considerations aside in view of the fact that Bitchless Blog and BB were the ONLY ones to follow my line of thinking and talk about how likely the death penalty would be sought.
Now, you all can see just how accurate I and my sources are when I talked about how the D.A. had just about decided to seek "the prick of the executioner's needle" 36 hours ago. Now, Marc and I and our network will focus like a laser beam on this case and cast aside personality politics and macho posturing...because this is now literally life or death:

ALTERNATIVE THEORY OF THE CASE: MOTIVE, MEANS, and OPPORTUNITY TO EMPLOY CUADRA AND KEREKES AS ALL TOO CONVENIENT FALL GUYS BY APPEALING TO THEIR VANITY AND AMBITION
THE KRUEZER now gives you his alternative theory of the Kocis-Cuadra-Kerekes murder case in light of this soul-wrenching development and new information we have developed in our own forensic and biographical research. May it help the wrongly accused Cuadra and Kerekes.
$5,000 is a lot of money but it was well spent on a private detective who knows his stuff.
New information developed by this P.I. and by my own research into the history, background and behavior patterns of Robert Wagner aka Aaron Phelps, combined with my pattern analysis of 3 former Norfolk Companions escorts who have been induced, or decided, to turn against their former friends, HARLOW CUADRA and JOSEPH KEREKES, have resulted in a major change of opinion about the central elements of this murder case that has rocked the gay subculture and may well have reverberations all the way to Capitol Hill in Washington.
Despite the unfortunate lack of truth telling about the existence of the Norfolk Companions client list - which THE KRUEZER has stated is a fact all along, but which Harlow Cuadra (or his ghostwriter) specifically denied a few weeks ago - and despite the "war of the bloggers" in which who was getting the most attention or praise for their perceived "accuracy" seemed to be more important than the guilt or innocence of two men about to find out if they would face the death penalty - THE KRUEZER believes that justice for the victim, BRYAN KOCIS, as well as for the defendants will be served without histrionics, drama, or the buffeting of competing egos.
It is therefore incumbent upon me as "a reporter deeply involved in this case from the beginning" - as Michael Gross of OUT magazine called me before we had a sharp disagreement over the tone and direction of his article - to tell you, my readers, friends and clients precisely WHY the forms of things unknown - previously hidden or obscured by deliberate intent - now need to be revealed in the clear and focused light of a passion for justice in this matter that is NOT ego or monetarily driven.
Here is my alternative theory of the case. Bad as the circumstantial evidence against Cuadra and Kerekes appears, it's by no means the entirety of the story, nor is it the only prism through which the evidence so far can be viewed.
Therefore, without saying too much, and without any intent whatsoever to jeapordize the newly urgent legal strategies being evolved by Cuadra's and Kerekes' defense teams, THE KRUEZER believes that the duo of Cuadra and Kerekes are guilty of immature behavior, foolish decisions, false braggadocio, and a financially reckless lifestyle that left them hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt BEFORE their arrests.
But I do NOT believe either Cuadra or Kerekes are guilty of murder, arson, thievery or abuse of a corpse.
Here's why:
An independent P.I. has come up with extenuating information regarding particular facts and circumstances concerning both the whereabouts and specific actions of Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes on January 23 and 24, 2007 (the day of the murder).
This will be introduced at trial. I have been asked not to say anything further about this aspect at this time.
After due diligence research and forensic investigation, with results compared with those attained by a private investigator paid $5,000 by someone you all know, it is KRUEZER AT NIGHT's considered opinion that former Kocis intimate friend/model/business associate Robert Wagner whose jealousy is such, and his knowledge of the Kocis house was such, that he conspired with a 3rd party to take out a contract on Bryan Kocis, who owed a very large amount of money to many people and wasn't paying it back.
Furthermore, in the Kruezer view, at the preliminary hearing Wagner falsely testified that his relationship with Kocis was business only when in fact it was both personal and intimate. Kocis' investors took huge losses when "Every Poolboy's Dream" among other Cobra titles was summarily pulled from retail sale or distribution after Brent Corrigan claimed he was underage. It is this underlying mountainous debt owed by Kocis to at least 4 investors, combined with what we believe is obsessive and pathological jealousy-fueled anger and resentment at his "Daddy" Bryan Kocis who cast him aside in favor of Brent Corrigan and even "Danny Moilin" aka Harlow Cuadra, that together formed the nucleus of the lethal conspiracy to murder Bryan Kocis after deliberately enticing Cuadra and Kerekes into the ring of darkness through the medium of 2 other individuals who may or may not have had a clear idea of the ultimate goal, but were known to be in general sympathy with the concept of removing Kocis from their lives, legally if not literally.
KRUEZER AT NIGHT believes the Defense will focus on one of these 2 individuals in withering cross-examination.
We allege that Harlow and Joe were deliberately enticed to come to PA by Wagner and his contract killer, who set them up as fall guys. The contract killer is from New York City and is known to the NYPD as a result of some misdemeanor charges, but KRUEZER AT NIGHT has traced his movements in the past 5 years and we have noted - with a chill in our hearts - that where this man goes, sudden death often explained as an accident or suicide follows. A total of 4 mysterious deaths have been closely associated with this person of interest, who invariably moves out of the apartment building or house or trailer park within a month or two of the termination of his target. Although having no visible means of support, KRUEZER AT NIGHT has learned he is a computer expert and antique car fancier well versed in hijacking wireless routers and hacking email databases, and KRUEZER AT NIGHT believes he conspired with several former Norfolk Companions escorts after the murder giving them "hush money" in exchange for incriminating Cuadra and Kerekes but with the real goal being to protect two highly placed Washington politicians who had used the services of Norfolk Companions on several occasions.
The conspirator, hitman, and betrayers all took advantage of Cuadra and Kerekes' naivete, greed, vanity and ambition, using Brent Corrigan as the carrot to lure and entice them into the trap and then springing the trap the night of January 24, 2007 after sufficient circumstantial evidence had been manufactured or carefully planted where investigators would be sure to find it.
This combined with Cuadra's and Kerekes' attitude of invincibility and their dangerous assumption that none of their "dudes" would ever turn on them any more than Cuadra's flirtatious relationship with Corrigan would sour, ultimately lead to not only their loss of all money, property and freedom, but now the daunting prospect of the loss of their actual lives as the D.A. pursues the death penalty against both defendants.
KRUEZER AT NIGHT was the first - and ONLY - reporter to explicitly predict this 36 hours ago based on direct sourcing from someone close to the D.A.'s office and our own analysis of probability.
From this point on KRUEZER AT NIGHT will devote ourselves to helping the wrongly accused CUADRA and KEREKES, and let bygones be bygones and forgive and forget whatever may need to be forgiven and forgotten on both sides. Likewise the petty and childish allegations and accusations by our plainly jealous and anti-competitive rivals.
This isn't about who's "right" or "legitimate" or who talks with Harlow or Joe any more, this is about 2 more deaths - judicially mandated, and committed in the name of the people of Pennsylvania - all too likely to be added to the pain, devastation and destruction caused by the brutal and premeditated murder of Bryan Kocis, the post mortem mutilation of his body, and the arson and thievery at his house so artfully designed to make it appear that CUADRA and KEREKES were responsible.
They are not. They were deliberately placed at the time and location to serve the purpose of Bryan Kocis' stone cold killers, which are the one who conceived, planned and hired for it, the actual contract killer who so far has flown under the radar of all except KRUEZER AT NIGHT and the one who hired him, and the outraged investors who like King Henry of England in reference to Becket said, "who will deal with Bryan Kocis for us and make him pay for ripping us off?"
These elements combined to form the perfect murderous storm, and to shift the blame to 2 young, immature, and very foolish men who lacked the ability to foresee what they were being set up for. And that is being "patsies", fall guys, the sacrificial lambs at the slaughter the D.A. will strongly push for and smugly pronounce "justice has been served" when and if the guilty verdicts are read out to a hushed Luzerne County courtroom in February or March 2008.
In this way, THE KRUEZER has given form to the things unknown until now, and made the ring of darkness illuminated so that discerning readers and legal operatives may follow the trail we have blazed for you.
Now Marc, Zenoble and I and all of Harlow and Joe's true friends and family must focus on helping to save the lives of Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes, and this I will do as long as it takes to secure their freedom and absolution.

In this way, THE KRUEZER has given form to the things unknown until now, and made the ring of darkness illuminated so that discerning readers and legal operatives may follow the trail we have blazed for you.
Now Marc, Zenoble and I and all of Harlow and Joe's true friends and family must focus on helping to save the lives of Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes, and this I will do as long as it takes to secure their freedom and absolution.

Cuadra admits Kruezer is correct about big name Escort Client List
Accused murderer Harlow Cuadra finally admitted on his blog last night what our colleague Damon Kruezer has been saying all along: That there is a client list with some very big names deriving from his operation of the Norfolk Companions escort service with his partner, co-defendant Joe Kerekes.
Previously Cuadra stated as a fact to Kruezer and others that some of Norfolk Companions clients included a closeted Republican senator and a cabinet secretary, among others.
No one believed him at the time, and they came down on Kruezer when he said:
"there is an encrypted client list on a USB key drive with some names and sexual specialties that will make Senator Craig look positively minor by comparison."
Should we believe Cuadra now about the client list - which he offers for auction at www.harlowcuadraonline.com?
Should those who trash talked about Kruezer for saying there WAS a client list apologize and retract their hateful comments?
Readers, you be the judge.
