My name is Rex Brockman, thank you for all the work you do. with out this site I would not have not known about frank , he and I go back to when we were kids in Glasgow Montana, I knew his entire family. I have been in touch with Frank both by mail and phone and he seems to be in very good spirit and is very positive about being released. he told me that his case is going to federal court some time this year. is there any way to get the trial transcript, I sure would like to see what his defense team did to defend him from reading your site it does not look like they did much. why did they not object to life with out parole at the time of his conviction this was not in law in the state of Oregon. you can reach me at trexsandra@aol.com I hope there is something I can do to help. Rex Brockman
I just want my dad Frank to know that I haven't forgotten about him. He's always in my heart and prayers. I believe he's innocent and am eagerly waiting for his release. I am his only child who he hash't seen in over 25 years. He also has 6 grandchildren who are wating to one day meet their grandfather. I appriciate all the hard work every one is doing on my dad's behalf. Thanks and Godbless.

Hey Rob, how are you doing? I think you should get so many more "good jobs" than what you do, and I want to thank you so much for helping my dad really get down to the truth. Whenever our family talks about Michael, my Dad or my Mom will always bring up your name, just saying how awesome of a person you are. Thanks so much. I appreciate you so much.

I spoke to Frank last weekend. He said you'd gotten a new job - congratulations! I'm the one he had you post a message for on this website. Thank you for all your hard work on his behalf. I have known Frank for a long time and it is my continued hope that he will be home with us soon. Bless you Rob! With people like yourself in his corner, Frank will be with his family and loved ones again living the life God really intended for him. Thank you so much!

Rob- Thank you for all you have done and all that you continue to do for Frank and his cause. I believe from the depths of my heart that he is indeed innocent. It is the works of good people like yourself and the Francke's that will bring Frank Gable home to the family and friends that love and trust in his innocence. May God bless and keep you safe, to complete this very important job you have taken on. I pray that we may some day meet, at the celebration party when Frank, an innocent man, is finally released. Keep up the good fight! KW

I am so glad people are doing something to find evidence to prove Frank's innocence. Back when all this was happening I had a couple of employees that used to talk about how "Frank didnt do it" and how the murder "went down because of corruption in the prison, with authorities bringing drugs in" It is interesting how a lot of the things they told me ring true when I read about the evidence now....something is not right with this whole thing.

I am so excited with everything that is going on right now, and I really believe that Frank Gable is going to get out of prison within the next year. I just want to say thank you so much Rob Taylor, Phil Stanford, and my dad Kevin Francke for everything you have done and I love you all, GOOD LUCK!!

I AM ESTATIC TO FINALLY SEE OTHER'S WHO CAN SEE RIGHT THRU ALL THE GARBAGE WE HAVE BEEN FEED OVER AND OVER SINCE 01/17/89. ANYONE WITH COMMON SENSE CAN SEE RIGHT THRU ALL THE DECIT AND LIES. MAYBE THE PROBLEM LIES WITH OUR OFFICIALS LACKING THE SENSE ENOUGH TO COME INSIDE WHILE IT'S RAINING. I AM SO DISGUSTED WITH ALL THOSE INVOLVED IN THIS OBVIOUS COVEER-UP. I AM GLAD THAT MAYBE WE THE PEOPLE CAN SHOW THESE OFFICIALS THAT WE NEVER BELIEVED ALL THE CRAP, FED TO US ABOUT NO !!!CONSPIRACY!!! INVOLVEMENT I GUESS THAT IT'S EASIER TO TRUST IN THE SYSTEM-- IF WE HAD A SYSTEM AN INNOCENT MAN WOULD BE FREE INSTEAD OF WAKING UP IN PRISON DAY AFTER DAY AND WONDERING WILL THE LIES AND COVERUP'S EVER BE BROUGHTY FORTH. JUSTICE FOR FRANK GABLE IS A LONG TIME COMMING. MAYBE WE COULD STICK SOME OF THESE SCANDLOUS POLITICIANS IN THERE. IF THEY KNEW WHAT PRISON WAS LIKE MAYBE THEY WOULDN'T RAILROAD SO MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE.

Your web site is Great. I admire the dedication and devotion regarding this issue. I agree 100% on the corruption theory. But I feel it is much larger and been going on much longer. For at least 30 years that I have personal knowledge of. I am surprised that such corruption has not caused you serious repercussions. I guess the secret is being very visible. I know of many who fear speaking out due to the corruption in the Willamette Valley. My family goes back to 1856 in Oregon, but I will never set foot in Oregon again. After a 4 year bout of false imprisonment, lets just say, "they got my attention". Keep up the good work.

Rob, I have never once doubted the absolute passion and courage of your heart to walk the Red Road in honor of nothing less than the whole truth. With my whole heart I want you to know how very much you are truly appreciated for dedicating your personal life to what truly matters.I know you have made many personal sacrifices in honor of what is prue and just. I can only imagine what this state would be like if it was filled with other men just as brave as you.Again thank you with all my heart. Your native sister Siwash

I think you should include bios of the characters involved. I also think you should at least put something about what happened to Tim Natividad. And you should look for ties in the educational background of those involved and it might give you some more stuff to add to your web site. Otherwise, I think it is an excellent site. In fact, it's the only one I've ever come across.

I thank God for you and other people like you who still believe in seeking truth and justice. I've had an interest in this case since the evening of Jan. 17, 1989. That evening. while driving past the 'Dome' building at approx. 8:15 p.m. my large dog went absolutely crazy trying to claw her way out of my vehicle to get over to the place where Michael Francke was murdered. Although my dog had rode with me 365 days a year for several years, it was the first time she had ever exhibited such behavior. The dog became agitated again a couple hours later as we crossed the bridge into West Salem. She had apparently picked up the scent again. At the time I was totally puzzled as to why the dog had exhibited such unique behavior, but later that same night, about 1:30 am the report of Francke murder came over the T.V. Then I knew what had brought on the dogs excitement. I offered her 'scenting' capibilities to Marion County D.A. Dale Penn to help identify the perpetrator, but he refused my offer. He said it wouldn't help because dogs can't testify in Court. D.A. Penn lied, dogs have frequently been used in Courts to identify perpitrators of crime. Later that summer, I was driving north on 13th St., when my dog saw twom men exit a 'hock' shop just of 13th st. She jumped out the window which I alway kept rolled all the way down, and went after the two men. I skidded to a stop and went after the dog and stopped her before she could attack the men, and got her back in the vehicle. This was a dog who was everybody's friend, who had never before exhibited anger or a mean streak in her life. I am convinced that whoever those men were, at least one of them was involved in Francke's murder. By then I knew D.A. Dale Penn wasn't interested in investigating at the 'hock' shop to find out who the men were, or what they had 'hocked'. I've always been curious about who owned the highly identifiable 'primered' green car I saw leaving the driveway from the 'dome' building as I passed.

If you talk to Don Johnson aka Don Wendts on a good day he will tell you about actually seeing Michael Franke's briefcase & the contents & about all of the evidence about prison corruption, selling of tractors, mower decks, prison goods, ect. The guy that actually killed Franke usually spends the winters in OSP & paroles out for the summer but is still wondering around out there. Don wouldn't say who the guy was because he was afraid of all of the high powered people that were involved in the cover up. Frank Gable did NOT murder Michael Franke. Cappy "Shorty" Harden is nothing but a little two bit, two faced liar that had bad drug issues with Frank Gable. He & Mike Keerins both said what they said to try & get the reward. To get closer to the truth, go see Shorty's drug suppliers...Don & Dennis Kathriner. One of them may have been the actual killer! Good Luck on your search for the truth! John Doe

I, too, like yourself, trusted and admired another person back in the 1970's when I worked at city hall; then Mayor Neil Goldschmidt. I presume I would have found out his secret sex life if they did not have the change of the guard as fill-in secretary in the mayor's office then. I don't know why it is that you feel you have to cover for them. I remember when I would have to hold all calls for Comm. Connie McCready and Capt. Jeff Morris of the Portland Fire Dept. every lunch-time happy hour. He cornered me one time to explain their unusual relationship, and I just said it wasn't my business. Another one was city attorney, Eli. What a rascal. Maybe, that is what Mayor Goldschmidt's secretary had to come up against, too. Mr. McAlister sounds like a totally different story. I noticed The Oregonian on Michael Francke's latest story read that Harol Whitley and Scott McAlister downplayed there was no dinner with Linda Parker that evening discussing Michael Francke's death. There is that old saying, "You can go to hell for lying." I think they should give Mr. McAlister another polygraph test without Al Imig suggesting he take a sedative to pass the test. Why would you be nervous if you weren't guilty about something?

I was a secretary for Scott McAlister at the Dept of Justice (Corrections Dept) in the late 70's and early 80's. After reading Linda Parker's statement and taking in my own experiences as his secretary, I believe her. I was terribly shocked however, when it came out in the news about the kiddie porn. I would never have expected that of Scott. He was well known around the office as quite the lady's man. He had a reputation for dating his secretaries (not me) and law clerks. I surely hope he had nothing to do with Francke's murder, but now I really wonder. That would just make me sick. He had been a man I admired, professionally.

First of all I want to say wow! this has come a really long way and I hope to see something good come of all the hard work and dedication put into this site. Great job dad. For those of you reading this that dont know, Rob Taylor is my father and I've watched him create this entire site since the very begining and I'm really surprised it went this far, but the determination he has to free Frank is unbelievable. And its more than just Frank. Someone needs to make everyone recognize all the curruption and bull**** thats going on right under their noses. I mean all the facts that I have heard make me sick knowing that this could happen to anyone of us. And for what? Just to make an extra buck for the MAN!
Come on people open your eyes. I was reading some of the other posts, and its really unbelievable that others think Frank is where he belongs. Just wait until the MAN gets a little piece of you, and then you can say how great our system really is.
Most everyone is blind at what is going on. If you've ever been down that path than you would understand. Its time to put on your glasses and pay attention people. This is our world, our life, and no-one should take that from us. So please help fight the fight, and send a free man home. I also want to send out my support to Frank (hang in there dude it wont be long befor it's all behind us) and to his family and friends. I can't imagine how hard this whole nightmare has been to deal with. And most of all I have to say (Your site kicks major ass dad!) keep up the good work!

Rob, after reading, "Official denies Corruption Allegation," by Jim Redden, where as, Dale Penn is trying to downplay that there was no conspiracy to have Michael Francke murdered and it was only a bungled car burglary; my answer back to him is hogwash. If you only had my dream, Dale Penn, you would have gone at this at an entirely different angle. Instead of trying to have Michael Keerin testify at Frank Gable's trial; you would have been arresting him for conspiracy to kill Michael Francke. Yes, there was drug trafficking in the prisons going on. It only shows me that none of you would help, Michael Francke. What a helpless feeling he must have had. And, it's awful when Michael Francke's own brother, Kevin, has to be warned to look over his own shoulder when investigating old prison officials. And, Michael Keerins former girlfriend, Frances Jones, will definitely tell you there was drug trafficking going on in the prison then and Michael Francke was getting ready to clean house. I, too, would have been checking out that riot gun. If you want to still bury your head in the sand, go ahead. But, for the rest of us, we see reality. This was no bungled car burglary. I guess your just to caught up in your new position as Oregon Lottery Director now to waste your time on this shut case, as you see it. I hope it won't come back to haunt you, like it has me. As I keep seeing your front page news with all your new ideas in the lottery business, I can't keep wondering how long before I see you with your own casino. Just kidding...but, Michael Francke was murdered, and it will eventually come out; you have your wrong man in prison, Frank Gable.

I promise, Rob, this is my last attack on Michael Keerin's credibility, for now. Right or wrong, I have learned in life that the first one to point their finger at you is usually the rat themselves. And, in Frank Gable's case, it looks like it was Michael Keerin's that was the first credible witness. And, as you can see while talking with John Kevin Walker in the Marion County Jail, he lied. So, where are you out there, Michael Keerin? I never met you, but somehow my path is looking for you. It is like my brother is still alive having me play another treasure hunt in finding someone else who has lost their brother to a tragic death. In your case, two. Nick Budnick, could have not entitled it better, "enduring wounds." The Francke brother's still have a wound that will not heal until the true killer comes forward. If you are out there, Michael, and you read this - and still feel the pain of losing your brothers - then try again to make a wrong right. It's up to you to piece this puzzle together. I pray God will start to convict your heart. Too many hearts are still wounded from what you know that night. I pray God will help you make it right. We all need this laid to rest, and so do you. Please try again.

Well, Rob, I'm still on a roll with Michael Keerin. So, here is what I love about his contradictions toward Frank Gable. He is the 1st of eight material witnesses to implicate Frank Gable for Michael Francke's murder back in September, 1989. Of course he was, also, implicated by his former girlfriend, Frances Jones. Gee, anyone know if he drove that old rusted pickup with Idaho plates which took off from the crime scene that night? And, where was he to see Frank Gable do this crime? Standing near the bushes as Michael Francke headed for his car? Sure looked like it to me. But then, I was only an observer in a dream, so I really couldn't be seeing this except knowing full well that robbing that car was no where on the agenda. Mr. McAlister was totally right - it was botched! A hit gone bad, but still came off slick. Then I love on page 17 of John Kevin Walker's recantment statements where it comes out you saying to him while your in the Marion County Jail together before Gable's trial - "Yeah, oh, that's a bunch of bulls..., you know, I don't think he really did it, and... Oh, I'm just trying to get myself some easy treatment. You know, they brought me over from Idaho State Penitentiary and blah, blah, ...." And, here I go again looking for my Idaho hit guy, and he is trying to set Frank Gable up like everyone else of the drug crowd. And, definitely, Mark Gesner had a score to even with Frank Gable. Both Gesner and Michael Keerin got even. Just no honor between drug dealers. No one told the truth here, and I now see there was out-of-state drug trafficking going on here, so where does the FBI step in here? There is reasonable doubt here and this case needs to be reinvestigated again. No matter how this turns out, Dale Penn, Mr. McAlister, and the rest will never sway me to believe this was a bungled car burglary. I'll always know it was a hit and orchestrated by someone who could pull strings in the prison system. God Bless.
