Ermittlungen

Ermittlungen in Deutschland

Innerhalb von drei Stunden kam die Wiesbadener Polizei zu dem Schluss, Duggans Tod sei auf einen Suizid zurückzuführen. Der Unfallexperte Jürgen Burg machte 79 Fotos von der Leiche, dem Umfeld und den Autos, die jedoch vor seiner Ankunft bereits bewegt worden waren. Den Fahrern war vor Eintreffen des Experten erlaubt worden, den Unfallort zu verlassen. Es fand keine Obduktion statt, Zeugenaussagen unter Eid wurden nicht aufgenommen und die Polizei vernichtete Duggans Kleidung. Der Polizeibericht kam zu dem Schluss, Duggan sei in Selbsttötungsabsicht auf die Straße gerannt, andere Personen seien nicht beteiligt gewesen. Offizielle der LaRouche-bewegung hätten der Polizei gegenüber ausgesagt, Duggan habe Selbstmordgedanken gehabt und sei Psychiatriepatient der Travistock Clinic gewesen.

Duggans Familie versuchte, den Entschluss die Akten zu schließen, zu verhindern, scheiterte jedoch 2006 vor dem Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt mit diesem Anliegen. Am 4. Februar 2010 lehnte auch das Bundesverfassungsgericht ihren Antrag auf Wiederaufnahme des Verfahrens ab.

Ermittlungen in Großbritannien

Am 31. März 2003 wurde Duggans Körper nach England überführt, wo eine Obduktion durch den Pathologen Dr. David Shove, durchgeführt wurde. In den Blutproben wurden keine Spuren von Alkohol oder Drogen gefunden. Shove fand aber schwere Kopfverletzungen und Prellungen an Armen und Händen, die, wie ein weiterer Pathologe bestätigte, bei der Selbstverteidigung entstanden sein müssten. Außerdem wurde Blut in Duggans Lunge und Magen gefunden. Four of the reports were reviews of 79 photographs taken in Germany by Jurgen Burg, the German accident examiner, and one was a review by a forensic pathologist of the original pathologist's examination. The family also had brown spots analysed that were found on Duggan's passport—the passport was not with him when he died—and it was found to have his blood on it, and that of one other unidentified person, according to the Berliner Zeitung. (Seite nicht mehr abrufbar) Paul Canning, a forensic photographer formerly with the Metropolitan police, produced two reports based on the photographs from the scene. He wrote that he did not believe the damage to either of the vehicles was caused by an impact with body. He wrote: "There are no traces of skin, hair, blood or clothing on either vehicle, nor is there any blood, tissue or clothing debris on the road, except for blood in the immediate vicinity of the body, nor are there any tyre marks or signs on either Jerry or on the cars to indicate that either vehicle came into contact with the body." According to The Observer, Canning suggested Duggan may have died elsewhere and been "placed" at the scene of the accident.

Second inquest

Patricia Scotland, England's attorney general, gave leave to apply for a new inquest.

In light of the forensic reviews, Erica Duggan asked the attorney general in March 2007 for permission to apply to the High Court to order a second inquest, and in May 96 British MPs signed an early day motion requesting the same. The High Court ordered the new inquest in May 2010 and quashed the findings of the first. Lord Justice Elias said evidence not available during the first inquest pointed to the possibility that the crash was "stage managed" to look like an accident, and that foul play may have occurred. The court heard a claim that the movement may have believed Duggan was a spy.

The new inquest was opened and adjourned by coroner Andrew Walker at Barnet Coroners Court on 22 June 2010. The coroner ruled that the LaRouche organization be recognized as an interested party, and that the family's evidence would have to be disclosed to them. The Duggans' barrister, Neil Sheldon, said there were one or two documents the Duggans would argue could not be shared with the LaRouche movement to protect the identity of their source. The coroner said he would pass the evidence to the Metropolitan's Police serious crime directorate with a view to them conducting an investigation.

Response

LaRouche movement

LaRouche's director of security, Jeffrey Steinberg, wrote in June 2004 that Duggan had told the other recruits he had recently been diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and on the Sunday before his death had tried to find a pharmacy where he could obtain prescription drugs. He said that, after Duggan's death, his mother met with representatives of the Schiller Institute in what Steinberg called a sympathetic meeting, and that her attitude changed only after British minister Elizabeth Symons intervened on behalf of the British Foreign Office.

In November 2006, LaRouche himself issued a statement saying the allegations were a hoax stemming from a campaign orchestrated by Dick Cheney, then the Vice-President of the United States, and Cheney's wife. In September 2007, the LaRouche Political Action Committee published a letter from the London Metropolitan Police, dated 14 July 2003, that it said was obtained under the British Freedom of Information Act, in which an officer wrote that he had been assured the case had been fully investigated in Germany. A statement on the website of the Schiller Institute reads: "The Schiller Institute has always maintained that it had no involvement whatsoever in Jeremiah's death, and has expressed its sympathy to the Duggan family."

German public prosecutor

In February 2004, Dieter Arlett, the Wiesbaden public prosecutor, told the BBC that under German law he could investigate further only if there existed concrete evidence of third-party involvement, and that there was no evidence of that. Arlett said that, so far as he knew, the Schiller Institute had only been mentioned in connection with the death because Duggan had attended an event of theirs. He said the prosecutor's office was 100 percent certain it was suicide, in the sense that Duggan's death was a consequence of his own behaviour, with no one else involved. In April 2007, Hartmut Ferse of the public prosecutor's office told the Wiesbadener Kurier that the investigation had been very thorough, and showed the reporter ten thick folders of documents related to the case, telling him no other apparent suicide had ever caused so much work for his office. He suggested the murder theory had developed because Duggan's mother cannot accept that her son committed suicide; the newspaper referred to the theories as "myths" ("Legende"), adding that they keep gaining adherents but no evidence. In an interview in March 2009, Ferse's deputy, Klaus Schulte, stressed again that there was no evidence linking the Schiller Institute to Duggan's death.
