Greg Giblini - Production Assistant
Born: May 1, 1975 - Nashville, Tennessee
Weight: 160
Height: 5'8"
Hair: Red
Was left-handed. Did not wear a watch or rings. Was not known to
legally own a weapon. DNA profiles were possible because he was a
sperm donor. Owns 1991 blue Mustang with Tennessee plates 247
NWS.
Brother of William and Tom Giblini. Youngest; puts up with a lot of
shit. Shared a lemonade stand with brother William once. (18 years
difference?) Will not be beholden to William Giblini. William Giblini
suggests Greg was a special case; he has a mind of his own. He
wanted the same things as William, but was in the shadows. Greg's
family problems began when he wrecked the family car while under
the influence of alcohol. His teenage drinking and his anti-social
behavior made him intolerable to his family. He was an avid squirrel
hunter; acquired hunting skills during childhood in Tennessee.
Attended University of Mississippi. Studied theater.
Performances:
"A Few Good Men"
Met Valerie Vilson during 1993-1994. Gave Valerie Vilson a
Macintosh Quadra 630 computer. Valerie and Greg were
monogamous. Quavers and bristles at the subject of Joey Shenton.
Suspicious of Joey Shenton. Mentioned in Valerie's diary.
Has limited funds and seems likely that he worked for cash while in
the south. Worked as a production assistant for film crews passing
through Nashville, Tennessee. Made short films as a hobby and
wanted to make a lot of tapes, not just with Briana. Made tapes of
Nashville, Tennessee.
In the surveillance video, Greg covers his face either because of the
camera or because of another person in the store. According to the
clerk, she thinks he forgot his change, causing him to return to the
register. The man behind Giblini is not identifiable.
Wrote a letter to his mother with frequent use of "storm" metaphor.
The letter was postmarked May 15, 1995. Quoted a song from a New
Jersey band called Ween. There is little to suggest drug dealing but
the squealing line is fascinating.
Greg Giblini and Vaskin Kissoyan were in Vaskin's 1987 silver Nissan
pickup truck with Tennessee plates TGA 160. Giblini was driving. The
two had little luggage in the vehicle, making them fit several
suspicious profiles. It seems likely Giblini is taking the route he and
Valerie Vilson planned. The pair planned to live in San Francisco.
Greg Giblini's car was totaled and found abondoned in Arizona.
Greg is thought to be in the San Francisco area. Interestingly, Lisa
Wood is also known to be in that area. Greg Giblini barely knew Lisa
Wood. All that knew Greg Giblini and Lisa Wood were certain they
could not be romantically linked. Greg Giblini did not associate with
the victim's friends. Giblini's run from the law may end on Christmas,
as he announced in the chat session. FBI announces Greg Giblini is
wanted in (3) states: Mississippi, Florida, Arizona, and now California.
Greg Giblini was found murdered March 1996. He was shot with a .22
caliber handgun. The angle of entry of the gunshot wound that
caused Greg Giblini's death rules out suicide. He was shot from
behind. The victim died from massive internal bleeding caused by a
severed aorta. The blood prints are from his struggle to stand and
possibly to fight his attacker. The attacker may have followed Greg
into the bathroom from another location in the apartment. The blood
stains on the shower stall door were caused by the spray resulting
from the victim's being shot at close range. We think the dragging
prints are an attempt to write.
Greg Giblini's neighbors said that they heard Giblini arguing with a
male and called the police. The neighbors said they had heard the
person arguing many times before. Their description was too vague
for an arrest, but the short visits (late at night and early morning) fit
a drug dealers profile and was more than likely the individual who
killed him. No suspect has been identified.
Friends with:
Valerie Vilson
Ted
Louise
Vaskin Kissoyan
Suspect: Knew about Valerie's predicted demise with Greg.
Purchased and linked to condoms the day of Valerie Vilson's
murder. Last person to be seen with Valerie Vilson. He was
unavailable after the murder to test for powder burns. He cleaned
out his ATM accounts within a week of Vilson's murder. Giblini had
about $8,000 when he disappeared. Admits that he shot scar face.
The FBI is currently investigating possible drug connections; their
activities remain classified. The FBI has been involved in several
aspects of this case, but has requested that the details of their
activities remain undisclosed.
Alibi: Denied mutilating Valerie Vilson's body. Believes his
brother (Santa...) killed Valerie Vilson because of jealousy. Said his
brother sent him photos.
Greg Giblini
He never met Valerie's "birth" parents or Purity.
No one, other than Giblini, is a match for the psychological profile.
Greg Giblini was a minor, not yet 21 years old, prior to the murder.
DIDN'T Jennifer Breedlove check his I.D. prior to serving him drinks
at Proud Larry's? WHEN did Jennifer Breedlove start working there.
Breedlove did not check Giblini's ID. She started working at the bar in
January of 1995.
Jennifer (Morris) Giblini - Documentation Specialist, Rosebud
Wife of William Giblini. She and William sent Valerie a card. She
worked for Rosebud on a freelance basis, but severed her affiliation
with Rosebud after William's death. Active in the local community
theater. Mentioned in Valerie's diary
Suspect: She has not been questioned. Federal authorities are
currently investigating any possible drug connection. Their activities
are classified. Jennifer Giblini was the beneficiary in William Giblini's
insurance policy.
Alibi: Was caring for her ill mother at the time of Valerie
Vilson's murder.
Tom Giblini - Owner, Rosebud
Brother of Greg and William Giblini. Runs small electronics firm called
Rosebud in California with brother William. Created several working
prototypes for high-definition television. Mentioned in Valerie's
diary. Has extensive gun collection.
Suspect: Tom Giblini is now a majority owner in Rosebud, he was
also the beneficiary in one of two life insurance policies. None of the
family members are willing to discuss Tom Giblini and his
relationships with his siblings. There appears to be some tension.
Tom Giblini has asked that he not be identified in this file. He and his
family have declined to participate in the on-line investigation. Any
persons having information regarding Tom Giblini's relationships
should contact our office.
Alibi: Tom Giblini was at his home in California. This fact was
corroborated by numerous persons. Tom Giblini was at a meeting,
attended by several hundred persons.
William Giblini - Owner, Rosebud
Born: 1957 - Nashville, Tennessee (Was he 35 or 38?)
Weight: 175
Height: 5'11"
Hair: Black, red-tinted beard.
Blood Type: O+
Excelled in science and math. Wanted the same things as Greg, but is
in the everyday world. William has extensive gun collection. Was not
known to legally own a weapon. Was an experienced computer user.
He often showed off his original Apple computer with it's wooden
case. He wore a watch. He had no scars.
Attended University of Mississippi. Studied Electrical Engineering.
There are some reports of William Giblini's drug use from his college
years. Graduated in 1978. Married high school sweetheart Jennifer
Morris in 1978. Moved to Santa Rosa, California in 1979.
William and Jennifer performed in local community theater.
According to sources at the Main Street Theater, where he
performed, William Giblini was a masterful amateur make-up artist.
Performed in:
"Wait Until Dark"
William and Jennifer sent Valerie a card. William never met Valerie
Vilson. Mentioned in Valerie's diary.
William Giblini ran a small and profitable electronics manufacturing
firm called Rosebud in California with brother Tom. Rosebud
produced automated heating and watering systems for vineyards.
Eventually expanded operations to include component manufacturing
for computer displays. There are some products manufactured by
Rosebud Electronics that bear the Tornado insignia. William was
engrossed with high-definition television (HDTV). Advanced his own
universal standard for high-definition display and broadcast
systems. Created several working prototypes for HDTV. There is little
known about this technology that is available to us. HDTV is in
extreme infancy. However, its financial value sets William Giblini up a
millionaire. Was on extended leave. The company has no East Coast
offices or affiliates. Any comments regarding rumors about financial
"irregularities" (insider trading or embezzlement ) with Rosebud
stock should make their own judgements in this matter. All
investigative material concerning Rosebud has been made public.
There is nothing to indicate his involvement in drug trade. Feberal
authorities are investigating possible drug connections. Their
activities are classified.
Separated from his wife.
A photograph of William in costume from "Wait Until Dark," a play
William was in shortly before Valerie Vilson's murder, was found on
the refrigerator of Valerie Vilson.
Williamleft for vacation on March 25 but told his wife on the phone
of his vacation plans on July 1, 1995. He didn't visit his mother.
Tony Ward said he saw William speak with an old man in yellow
with a cane. He saw William twice after that before he died. Tony
said William drank a lot of gin.
William Giblini is found murdered. Will was beaten with a flash light,
found next to him, before being placed in the tub. The light is dim,
but still burning after about four hours. Later, Greg Giblini was seen
entering and exiting his brother's motel room. According to the
coroner, the time of William Giblini's death coincides with Greg
Giblini's visit. No traces of marijuana or cocaine were found in his
blood. William Giblini did have theater make-up in his luggage. This is
not entirely unusual because he was an amateur actor. No watch
repairs were reported locally.
We have no information on the purpose of William Giblini's visit. At
this time we are back-tracking William Giblini's movements to
determine if he was in Oxford on the day of the murder. There is
nothing to indicate that the two victims knew each other. Official
Miami documents are unavailable to the public.

incidents lately. Loaned Valerie Vilson .38 caliber handgun. Gets

act of Marat/Sade.
Friends with:

Suspect: Very unlikely to be involved. She has a reputation for
being a soft touch. Students constantly go to her with money or
family problems. She really seemed to be acting altruistically. She
just wanted to help.

Vaskin Kissoyan (a.k.a Spider)
Born: Armenia
Vaskin Kissoyan is known among computer hackers for his computer
and telco knowledge. He began his computer hobby by mastering the
art of phone phreaking. This talent, getting illegal access to free
telephone service, earned him respect among computer circles. He
has a history of computer crime: (2) incidents of criminal trespass
involving computers on the Internet.
The link between Kissoyan and the Crime Scene site is peculiar. The
site was disabled when it made "Cool Site of the Day." Kissoyan
offered space in his account. His offer was a surprise. He had no
apparent relation to the case.
>From what detectives understand, Kissoyan contacted Greg Giblini
and offered to help. Giblini and Kissoyan were stopped in Arizona by
Highway Patrol. Greg Giblini and Vaskin Kissoyan were in Vaskin's
1987 silver Nissan pickup truck with Tennessee plates TGA 160.
Giblini was driving. Greg Giblini and Vaskin Kissoyan had little luggage
in the vehicle, making them fit several suspicious profiles.
Kissoyan was briefly arrested following the bungled Giblini surrender.
This recent development is puzzling to Ash and is upset about the
recent development. Vaskin has safely returned and is presently
living in Memphis. Vaskin is moving back to Armenia.
Friends with:
Greg Giblini
Suspect: He is cooperating with authorities. He set up IRC accounts
for Detective Armstrong. His motive is unknown and there is nothing
to suggest a previous relationship with Giblini. Kissoyan is an unlikely
ally for Greg Giblini. One theory around the office has Kissoyan
working for the Feds, as part of a plea bargain. This is just an idle
theory. No evidence exists to support it.

We don't know why she had the ultrasound. The ultrasound shows
her pregnancyis to be within seven weeks of development. The
abortion was performed less than two weeks later. It was not paid
for by insurance. The clinic records show a cash transaction. Purity
stole money from her boyfriend, Jake Rohleen, to fund the procedure.
When Jake discovered the missing funds, he contacted Frank Knight.
She was no longer a member of the church at the time of the murder.
Purity Knight is registered for classes at the University of Mississippi.
Purity Knight is currently missing and we are on the lookout for her.
We expect her to come the by station for an interview. She is in

Pig - Cat
Briana adopted the cat as a stray. She reportedly had difficulty
training the cat and gave it to Valerie Vilson several days before her
murder The cat was approximately 18 months old when Valerie was
murdered. She was found wearing a blue nylon collar. A litter box
and a box of Chunky Tender Vittles cat food were also in the
apartment.
Blood appeared near the cat's mouth, suggesting that the cat bit the
suspect or from a wound on the suspect. The blood does not appear
to have been smeared on deliberately. The cat hair provided
blood/DNA samples to investigators which matched that of William
Giblini.
No persons with a history of animal torture are in the area. No
persons showed evidence of animal bites.

Suspect(s)
Yoknapatawa Detectives are logically assuming that the killer and the
mutilation to be one in the same with no evidence to support
otherwise. The first theory on the mutilations still holds. That could
only be the work of a psychopath. This instability theory is
reinforced by the purposeful posing of the body.
A description of the suspect was written by noted Criminal
Psychologist, Dr. Joanne Graham. She states that
any time a killer poses his victim, there is cause for alarm. This is an
indication of a failure in the rational thought process. She describes
the killer as, "A male between 18 and 35 years old. Probably
educated. Either works with computers or has them as a hobby.
Probably known as a loner. Grew up around dominating women.
Driven by fantasies. Has always fantasized about killing in this
manner. Though he is a loner, he appears social and likable to others.
He has a dark side to his personality. Possibly known as a compulsive
liar. Feels no empathy for others and feels no remorse...Will probably
kill again, as he acts on impulse."
If the suspect is alleged to have brought the 1/4 inch diameter
weapon with him and not taken it from the apartment, then we must
assume this murder was premeditated.
The Discovery Channel had a show about The Gainesville, Florida
serial killer. His name was (Rollings or Rawlings?) and was known for
killing several college coeds, washing one of his victims with soap to
hide evidence, mutilated the body, and then posing the body in such
a way as to frighten anyone who entered the room. A lot of
similarities.
Detective Armstrong has been examining another case where the
bodies were posed and mutilated. No sexual attack. The killings
occurred in the Northwest. We were aware of the Florida case. Our
experts have uncovered nearly a dozen such crimes in the past three
years. This was the first incident investigated in the region.
Yoknapatawa Detectives and the FBI now feel someone else is
involved. The mention of the unknown party at the crime scene is
especially important. That is a key missing piece!

personal information.
Valerie Lynn Vilson - Victim
Daughter of Frank and Judith Knight; adopted by Bill and Marlene
Vilson. Sister of Purity Knight. Valerie and Purity were not identical
twins.
Born in St. Louis, Missouri and received B.A. in Acting - Webster
College. Moved to Oxford, Mississippi in 1991and attended the
University of Mississippi as a graduate student. . Was going to accept
an internship job at a theater in Jackson, MS. The intern program was
discontinued due to internal political turmoil at the theater. In short,
the victim's connection at the theater was fired. She was headed to a
professional theatre to receive her Equity union card.
Performed in:
"The Blythe Spirit"
"Dirty Work"
"Lips Together, Teeth Apart"
"Reckless"
"The Seagull"
"The Water Engine"
Earning a stipend while attending graduate school. Created dramatic
outreach programs for grades K-9. Was working on an act of
Marat/Sade for Cynthia Gold's class with Joel Shenton, Annie, and
Briana. Had just moved into the apartment building with Tom
Ash. Valerie Vilson borrowed a .38 caliber handgun from Cindy
Gold, an instructor at school. Valerie had no enemies.
Had prescriptions for Prozac and birth control pills. The prescription
for Prozac was from an MD working in the campus infirmary. She
had recently complained of anxiousness and an inability to sleep. Her
prescription notes list anxiety, sleeplessness and stress-related
symptoms. She had little follow-up support for the prescription.
Prozac typically takes 4-6 weeks before it's effects are felt.
Joel Shenton attested that the victim was known to smoke
marijuana.Valerie smoked Marlboros; she did not smoke cigarettes.
No cigarettes were found at the crime scene. Her diary suggested she
was conscious about her weight. She liked chocolate. She was a
novice computer user whose needs were related to her thesis. She
didn't like Greg messing with scraps of code. Valerie was apparently
familiar with Greg Giblini's work, but no evidence exists that she was
involved in programming. Greg Giblini may have meant poems.
Valerie seemed fairly computer illiterate.
Valerie and Greg were monogamous and she was not bi-sexual. The
couple was very involved in safe sex education and AIDS awareness.
Greg probably knew she was using birth control pills. There are no
recorded complaints of domestic abuse. By all accounts, the
relationship between Giblini and the victim was placid. She wasn't
happy with Greg being in Nashville. She suspects that Greg was
involved with Louise. She couldn't handle the thought of Purity and
Greg together. She had never met William Giblini.
Valerie and Greg were planning an extended vacation together
following her graduation in May. The trip was a graduation gift and
her parents were not aware that Giblini was to accompany her.
Vilson's parents told investigators that Vilson and Giblini planned to
go to the Grand Canyon, Oklahoma City, Crater Lake and all the big
holes in the ground they could find. The itinerary has not been
found. It seems likely Giblini is taking the route he and Vilson
planned. The pair planned to live in San Francisco.

Valerie was shot at close range while in her bed. The small caliber
bullet left only a small entry wound and she bleed internally. We can
determine only that she was lying on the bed with her head on the
pillow. Her state of consciousness when the fatal bullet was delivered
will never be known.
Valerie was bathed. Skin, hair and blood were retireved from the
drain.
Valerie was taken into the kitchen and stabbed 27+ times in the
abdomin The victim's body showed no scratches, bruises, or other
signs of struggle. Detectives first impression was that she was
stabbed with an ice pick. Further investigation indicates that the
suspect may have used a special lighting screwdriver, from his work
in film production. There was no dismembering.
Val was then dressed in freshly laundered men's pajamas. The
pajamas were one of the few items that bore no traces of the
suspected killer, Greg Giblini. She was not wearing a bra. She was not
wearing a watch.
The Oxford Police Department received a call about the incident at
10:30 a.m. The victim's body was cold when investigators arrived.
According to the coroner's report, time of death was approximately 6
a.m. No comment can be made regarding the victim's face, however,
she was positively identified. This detail will help positively identify
the killer.
Liz White, a neighbor, reported hearing the victim yelling. It is
unclear whether the victim was alone when she was murdered. The
door was found unlocked. The windows were locked. There were no
signs of struggle.
Tests showed no evidence of Valerie Vilson being pregnant or
having an ectoptic pregnancy. No toxins were found in any of Valerie
Vilson's tissue samples.
For whatever reason, William Giblini visited Valerie Vilson. This is
known by the presence of his DNA at the scene. No one knows why
she was killed in bed, bathed, dragged to the kitchen, mutilated, and
dressed. Our profiler believes the Vilson crime scene was the act of a
psychotic. As to why the body was clothed, some have suggested that
the act may have been part of a ritual. The blood on the refrigerator
was positively identified as belonging to the victim, Valerie Vilson.
This blood was manually and intentionally delivered to the
refrigerator via splashing with an unknown instrument. We expect
the killer flicked her blood upon it. The bloody refrigerator was
visible through the kitchen window. The blood on the kitchen floor
drained from the abdomen and pooled. There were several bloody
areas that seem intentionally smeared, as if to hide a print. No
known witness to the crime exists.

Lisa Michelle Wood
From Texas. Was Catholic, although Baptists are prevelant in their
area. Attended University of Mississippi. Saw Valerie Vilson and a
man fitting Greg Giblini's description the night of Valeri's murder.
Said he was quite a bit taller than her 5'7" and good looking. All that
knew Greg Giblini and Lisa Wood were certain they could not be
romantically linked. The more interesting item in her interview is
mention of the toothpick. This detail gives us a new edge.

the church. According to Mrs. Wood, "For the past year I've watched
Lisa drift away from everything she knows. Now she's drifted
completely away." Undergoing counseling for an undisclosed
problem.
E-mail address:
Suspect: Lisa Wood is an angry young woman. She does not fit the
profile of the killer and cannot be placed at the crime. It is common
for witnesses to be reluctant and even evasive. Most important,
bartenders the night of Vilson's murder, are certain that Lisa Wood
was highly intoxicated when the bar closed. She had been there since
6:00pm. There is no reason to pursue her. She has no motive or
desire to commit these crimes. Wood is not acting like the friend she
claims to be. Lisa Wood has been on my mind a lot lately. There is
something beneath the surface.
