CLAIM: John Graham took Anna Mae to a safe house on Pine Ridge and stayed with her until he was satisfied that she would be okay. According to Jennifer Wade, Graham signed a statement in which he told her, “The night before her death she had driven with John Graham across the US from Denver, and he had left her at a safe house in or near Pine Ridge.” On December 19, 2003, another Vancouver Amnesty Graham supporter said Graham told him, “in the fall he received word from Anna Mae that she was at Pine Ridge and wanted to see him. John and Looking Cloud, who was more familiar with the reservation than John, traveled to the reservation and located her at a safe house where she was hiding in fear of the FBI. He left several days later thinking she was safe. He learned of Anna Mae’s death several months later.”

FACT: Before presenting the facts, maybe John Graham could enlighten us as to how he knew when Anna Mae was killed, being as he pinpointed “the night before her death” in the statement he signed for Jennifer Wade. And then maybe John Graham could decide which of these stories he wants to go with? “The night before she was killed” he took her to Pine Ridge, or that “in the fall” he located her on Pine Ridge and stayed with her “several days,” and then learned of her death months later? It doesn’t really matter, as both are lies. Anna Mae’s activities and whereabouts in the fall of ’75, up to her abduction, are outlined in the previous rebuttal – Graham was not with her or in contact with her, as any of the individuals mentioned can verify. So far as taking Anna Mae to a safe house on Pine Ridge with Arlo as the driver, here are the facts: After Theda, Graham and Arlo took Anna Mae from Denver to Rapid City, she was interrogated in Rapid City at the WKLD/OC offices, and then at Thelma Rios’s apartment. Graham, Clark and Looking Cloud then took Anna Mae to a house in Allen, on the Pine Ridge Reservation, and Looking Cloud did drive. The individuals whose house it was recall that Anna Mae was “a prisoner” of the three, and that they – Graham, Looking Cloud and Theda Clark – arrived at about 2:30 am that December 1975 morning. They were gone within the hour after the individuals whose house it was refused to hold Anna Mae as a prisoner in their basement. Before they left, the three asked for directions on back roads to the Rosebud, their next destination. The identity of these two individuals will be established at Arlo Looking Cloud’s trial, as well as what actually happened in this “safe house on Pine Ridge.” If Looking Cloud’s trial does not establish their identity that’s okay, they have told what happened on tape and that information will be posted after Looking Cloud’s trial.

For the record, in a recorded interview in 2001, Graham admitted participating in Anna Mae’s removal from Troy Lynn Yellow Wood’s apartment in Denver, her subsequent transportation to Rapid City, and to being present at the locations in Rapid City, and on the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Reservations where Anna Mae was taken before being executed. Graham even acknowledged being at Bill Means’s house when Anna Mae was taken there before being executed . . . and he identified who drove from Bill Mean’s house to where Anna Mae was executed.

Note these are recorded statements-not third or fourth hand.

If they are false the only possible explanation can be voice impersonator stood in-anyone want to try floating that?

Doesn’t matter how “old” the quotes are as these are Grahams own words, his admissions-to attempt to diminish or undermine them by saying they are “old” is the same as attempting to diminish Annie’s murder for the same reason….it’s an “old” case.

Graham has had decades, his day in court, and an appeal to work out his story,  even the help of individuals like Vernon Bellecourt and woefully misguided “friends” and advocates working overtime to change the “old” reality into the current lies, to fashion that silk purse out of sow’s ear.

And yet the preponderance of guilt displayed in his own words, much like those of Peltier, are sufficient in them self to know which way the wind is blowing.
